The place is located at a quiet neighborhood. The interior is nice and we loved the kitchenette especially! The atrium on the rooftop is a good place to relax on a cool day and at night. Overall, a great value compared to other hotels at the downtown SB area.

It was very clean and spacious. I loved the little patio on the 3rd floor and it was one of the highlighting features. The room had many things that we weren’t expecting such as snacks. It was definitely conveniently located near the beach and businesses and was a highlight. I highly would recommend this place over hotels.

I had an amazing stay at Casa Iglesia in Santa Barbara. The hotel was beautifully designed, clean, and quiet. The rooms were modern while still keeping the charm of the historic property, and the self check-in process was super easy and convenient. Everything felt relaxing and well thought out, and the staff was very responsive and helpful throughout the stay. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Barbara.

This is a really beautiful place with 21st century cool. The electronic communications and remote check-in and entry were easy and the room amenities were great – amazing waterfall shower; state of the art microwave/convections oven; love the Nespresso coffee; and the Toto toilet and bidet took it over the top!!!

Such an amazing gem! Got the 2 bedroom apartment and it was well designed and decorated and had everything we needed! The beds in each room were very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was beautifully built and loved that it had a Bidet! The kitchen was fully stocked and my family enjoyed the nespresso machine! Will absolutely be back when visiting Santa Barbara again. So happy to have found this gem.

The facility was nice, and well kept. The phone (concierge staff) was promptly responsive and knowledgeable. They assisted us navigate the smart TV (which was uber complex). They helped get us housekeeping, one day (which isn't a daily thing there) but when we needed it, fresh towels and bed sheets, they promptly respond; the Zen staff was friendly and kind. I would highly recommend this place for all who would be in the neighborhood.

Great hosts and place—just know you’ll need wheels Honestly, the owners were fantastic to deal with. Really easy to communicate with, and it shows in how they run the property. Everything felt brand new and thoughtfully put together. The Toto toilet is a surprisingly nice detail, and I’m not even going to pretend otherwise. The place was immaculate, and that patio/atrium space was perfect for just hanging out and decompressing. The trade-off is the location. Nothing’s walking distance—it’s about a 10-minute drive to get to food, beaches, restaurants, the whole scene. So if you’re planning to explore, you’re driving everywhere. Also came in a bit pricier than I expected for a property in that spot. But they clearly take pride in maintaining the place, and it shows. Solid hosts, solid execution.
