The apartment was in a great location for visiting all the sights in Barcelona and only a 10 minute walk to La Ramblas and near to plenty of places for eating out. The apartment was clean and had everything you could want for a city break. The staff were helpful at the hotel and the apartment was ready at 10.30am... More

A block away from a grocery store. Across the street from a "bonboneria y chocolateria". a 7-minute walk from Las Ramblas and Mercat de la Boqueria. Beautifully lit and furnished. Convenient, comfortable,and definitely lives up to the name...both chic and basic. The bathroom was more luxurious than average, and the balconies were a nice touch... Fridge and TV could have...

We were a group of friends who stayed recently for some days at Chic&Basic Born Apartments in Barcelona. We stayed at the upper appartments and other friends were lodging in the attic with a wonderful terrace with beautiful views over Barcelona. Large and bright, well and modern decorated appartments with two bedrooms (the attic only has one bedroom), kitchen, washing... More

We stayed in Born Apartments in March with friends. We chose the place due to its location and value (we were on tight budget). We had quite a number of problems and complaints about the apartment. Most of their staff is completely useless, except for the manager (who appeared to have started his job with Born Apartments quite recently). He... More

The same administration of the Hotel, rent some apartments one block away from the Hotel, they are very well located ( a 5 minute walk from Picasso Museum), and the apartments are nice (a loft), but the service is awfull, the employees are not trained to provide solutions to guests, and the place is not so clean.

It was fantastic to have an apartment to use but it really was incredibly basic. I would love to have seen some chic. The TV didn't work and neither did the safe. The facade of the dishwasher was missing and the wi-fi very slow. Altogether a very tired apartment but a fabulous location.

My husband and 2 daughters aged 12 and 15 stayed in these apartments for 3 nights in September . They were the perfect choice, centrally located, comfortable and easy to access. The Born area is wonderful, we were across the road from the Picasso museum and an easy walk to the wonderful Born and Barri Gotic area and around the... More

Recently, my husband and I with our two teenage sons stayed here. Our apartment proved very unsatisfactory. We stayed here for 3 nights. Here are some of the issues which arose: 1. Upon arriving (at around noon) housekeeping still had not come by to clean (although we were within the designated check-in time). We were told by an apologetic manager... More

Took a flat for 4 nights - best money ever spent when travelling. FOR ME: - An amazing location in the Born (corener of Princesa/Montcada), with destination dining and sightseeing walkable in every direction. - Nearby transport of every sort (taxi, metro, bus) within a few short blocks. - VERY well stocked - washer/dryer, dishwasher, stocked kitchen, extra blankets &...
