Smelly room in good location
Location was excellent; mini Queen suite nice in size. Unpleasant odor in room gave me a headache - smelled similar to cats. Virtually no hot water in the shower. Coffee bar in common area nice.

Our stay at Hotel Zindel was great! The bed was SUPER comfy. I would say there needs to be better communication between the hotel itself and the concierge services about what amenities the hotel can actually provide. The concierge service was incredible, and there were so many great recommendations.Thoroughly enjoyed, Little Italy, the neighborhood the hotel borders!

Easy check in. Good communication. Great location. Close to lots of restaurants and bars, and can drive to most attractions within 10 minutes. Nice hotel. Older building that has been completely renovated. Highly recommend it.

I wish there was parking available but the bed was so comforting and relaxing. Very nice space and there should be a shower door for the shower other than that I had a great stay and I would go back again.

The communication provided prior to check-in made my arrival and check in super easy. I was greeted upon arrival and offered a glass of wine. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Located right in the heart of little Italy being spoilt for choice when it comes to good food, it was also super easy to get around without a car.

Fue una buena experiencia, solo hay que ser conscientes de que es un cuarto con Baño compartido, y aveces es incómodo cuando los baños están ocupados y necesita uno entrar. De ahí en más el hotel está muy bien. Muy céntrico.
