Great location for a city break
July 5, 2019

Although the appearance is not brilliant the warm welcome made much more of an impression and the large room on the 5th floor was a bonus. Large comfortable beds, minibar, safe and tea/coffee facilities all helped us have a relaxing break and being only 10 minutes from the old city meant we were never far from base. Good, varied breakfast with plenty of choices gave us a good start to the day and with underground parking we walked into Valencia safe in the knowledge that the car was looked after too. Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you get a good rate by avoiding Trivago, Booking.com, Hotels.com and Trip advisor.

Highly convenience
November 10, 2017

Zenhotels.com came through for me when i was stranded and stressed up about where to stay. I established contact immediately and could book almost instantaneously. I did not encounter any issue. It is really a great experience.

Scam, do not use this provider.
November 25, 2022

Booking was made in Feb 2020 and funds paid. Covid came and the reservation was cancelled. Zenhotels "in writing" stated a refund would be paid within 30 days. 18 months later, they still haven't paid. Multiple emails sent and calls made with no response. Its really disappointing as there doesn't appear to be any consumer protection options to escalate this. Do not use Zenhotels

I've tried this service twice already. Both times it was Marriott. First time everything was totally fine but the second one was not that successful. When we arrived on the spot we've found out that they failed to provide us with the category we've booked. We called zenhotels support and the problem was solved real quick.
So if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or text zenhotels' support immediately

Support that cares about its' customers
July 3, 2019

My friend showed me this service. I was very sceptical about it at first because the prices there are lower than most competitors have, it's because zenhotels doesn't have any hidden costs and when you press the 'reserve' button, you can see all the taxes, "Resort fees" and stuff.

I also have experience if using their support. The great things are online chat and in-app calls which are free (well you pay only for the internet so I advise you to find wi-fi first).

Definitely using it again

I've started using this service 2 years ago and never faced any problems!
They also have an app which is clearly a must-have. It's easy to use and also you can contact the support team via it. Also great deal of great offers and sweet prices. Give it a chance :)

Saved my vacation
September 24, 2019

Special thanks I want to say support. Who literally saved my vacation. Helped to return the money that hung when paying for the hotel. It was the only time and it never happened again. Caliper coped with the decision of this situation on 5. I have complete confidence in my trip.

Nothing to compain
February 28, 2016

I was redirected to their website from trivago. The first things that impressed me were low prices. Obviously lower than on other websites, so I decided to try. I felt totally comfortable while booking through them. They sent me and my mom vouchers with all booking details straight away after booking and sms prior to check in. After check out they even called us thanking for using their service and saying we were one of the first to book through them. Really nothing to complain.

Borderline fraud
January 5, 2023

An honest review - Zen denied my claim for a refund for 8 months taking extraordinary steps to do so. However, they recently made things right after repeated bad reviews from me. I'm hopeful Zen will take some concrete steps to improve so I am changing my rating from 1 to 3 stars.

Save yourself the headache and do not use this company under any circumstances. Hotel had no record of the reservation I made through Zenhotels. Thankfully I called the hotel directly a week before our stay to confirm other we would have been out of luck.

No issues detected
November 4, 2023

Reading previous reviews and thinking that maybe I'm lucky) Had no issues with Zenhotels during our booking and the trip itself, everything was ok and we could find a nice deal with their help. Small but very nice hotel. Check in was a bit long, but guess it depends more on the hotel staff.

Scam...
December 9, 2023

Scam. I paid for a superior room with Burj khalifa view and when I contacted the hotel, they said that they only removed a request for a one bedroom queen size bed. Which is much less compared to what I paid for the room.

Couldn't give zero stars, but deserves it
July 25, 2022

Travel date July 15-17th. Booked the room in advance (February) at a 5 star hotel. Pre-paid (USD$$$ even).
Received confirmation of booking. Printed all documents. Arrive at destination - hotel does not have our booking. We travelled 4+ hours (mother and 2 kids), no reservation available. Told by hotel to contact booking service. Contacted ZenHotels who said they would look into it and communicate by email.
Hours pass, only to be told that they cannot secure our room and there are no rooms available anywhere else. They will refund my account. Stranded away from home, out hundreds of dollars and no help.
Terrible - scam alert.
Learned my lesson.

Holidays at home
August 1, 2021

After 10 days of informing them that they did not have a reservation at the hotel, ZENHOTELS has not been able to solve its own failure. I have been left without a vacation by waiting until the last minute for it to be fixed, since it was paid in advance. Not a bad word or a good deed. Their customer service is experts in listening to you (only if you speak English) without solving anything. They have neither asked me for forgiveness nor are they going to compensate me. I have only been able to get my money back thanks to American Express. I am studying to report them for mean, incompetent, misleading advertising, breach of contract or whatever the lawyer tells me. For now, I'm going to tell my case all over the web so that it doesn't happen to anyone else.

We've made a reservation for a week and modified it at the check in fir just one day due to the personal family matter, Zen hotels received OK from the hotel and promised refund our money between 5-30 days, here we go we at the day 45 money was never refunded and their customer service says it's a horrible mistake and we should wait another 10-14 day before we maybe going to see the refund. Be careful before booking.

I didn't read the negative reviews in time :(
January 27, 2022

ZenHotels could not confirm my booking with the hotel a week after I made the reservation and payment. ZenHotels' only course of remedy is to create tickets to contact their "suppliers", which can take multiple days, and then they closed my ticket without actually giving me the information I needed or the hotel being able to confirm my reservation. I had to cancel because the hotel never got a record of my booking before the free cancellation deadline. In contrast, the replacement booking I made with Expedia was confirmed by the hotel the next day.

Regarding my cancellation, this is what I received: "Usually, customers receive their money back within 3 to 45 business days depending on their bank, but, due to the current situation in the world and a large number of cancellations, the terms of return may be increased."

45 business days is a long time to wait for a refund. I will update this review if I ever receive mine.

5 days of anxiety only to be cancelled
October 19, 2023

Went through hell booking with zenhotels in sept 2023. Booked 3 months prior, 5 days before check-in called the hotel to double check booking, found out there is no booking. Went through 4 days of back and forth with zenhotels support giving excuses after excuses, thought they sorted it only to arrive on 5th day at the hotel to find out the booking was cancelled. Went though Agoda, booked and check-in immediately on the spot at the hotel. Just use more reputable platforms.
