I had previously stayed at the Deseo (their other property in Playa) and loved it. After reading lots of great reviews for Basico, my fiance and I chose to stay there. The design is really interesting...although sometimes the form overtakes function (even though the opposite seems to be the intent). The staff are great. They are helpful, intelligent, and not... more

PIcture a hotel room in the middle of a throbbing night club and you've got Basico. This "hotel" is really a hipster night club with rooms just steps away from the dance floor. After we complained the first night, we were told the staff was surprised because we had the "quiet" room. It was indeed the farthest form the rooftop... more

After coming to Playa for almost ten years, I've stayed in many places and since Basico opened wanted to stay here, but they were always booked. I always travel last minute. This time they had a room for 3 nights so I was thrilled to book it. When I arrived the service was mexcellent as expected. The room how ever... more

The only redeeming quality of this hotel was the huge comfortable king size bed...unfortunately the music coming from the rooftop bar and club was so deafeningly loud that it made it impossible to sleep even with earplugs and a pillow over your head. It sounded like the party was in our room from about 6pm to 4am. The worst part... more

We stayed here for our honeymoon and researched it before going. It was exactly how it was described. You do hear some techno music coming from the bar on the top level, but nothing you can't sleep through- unless you need complete silence. The place is basic (as the name implies) and we loved it for that. You have a... more

This hotel is very creative, a pleasure to experience - ONLY if you're eating a meal on the roof deck and if you don't mind the hordes of people walking the street. Felt a bit Disneylandish outside the hotel. Overall, very artsy but extremely uncomfortable. The rooms smelled to rubber (because of the curtains made out of rubber??). The faucet... more

Was planning to spend a couple of nights at hotel basico, but the first night made us check out the next morning. + Design / materials: The design and materials used are very interesting. From an architechtural point of view it is an interesting object. - Comfort: Comfort equals zero. The hotel was built for the design and not for... more

Great location in a town that is losing its charm. Roof deck is fabulous - great food, view and people. Rooms are too hip for their own good. I am not one to prefer having your bathroom and bedroom in the same place, and so this place got on my nerves from the outset. The blinds/shades that separate your bed... more

My partner treated me to 3 nights at this hotel over Christmas. He booked directly with them and was given a rate for the room. CHECK-IN: When we arrived and checked in, there was some confusion about the price of the room and a higher rate was quoted to my partner. After pointing out that he had received a lower... more

My fiancee and I stayed here over Thanksgiving for 5 nights. We had an incredible time. It was actually quiet, contrary to what others have said here. It may have been due to the holiday, who knows. The room was what we expected and the one thing I would have added is more drawers for your clothes. The restaurant was... more
