Excellent stay at the Zarzo.

From check-in upon hotel, to check-out day of departure. Hotel staff was awesome, friendly and very welcoming to the hotel. Everything was wonderful. A must do is the rooftop bar at the Zarzo.

El Zarzo staff is the greatest part of the hotel. Extremely attentive, friendly, and informative. Rooftop bar was the highlight for us great drinks and vibes. Down side rooms are smaller then other rooms you can find for this price and the bed was on the firm side. Also while we were there(8/23/25) they are working on expanding so they had construction going on and they like to start at 7am and if your a light sleeper you can hear music/ traffic all night till 3am.

The hotel is located in a nice/safe area. The staff was 100% attentive, 100% nice. The hotel itself is a quiet, Sophisticated building. The only two things I wished the hotel had was a gym and a lobby/lounge area for the guests to hangout.
