We had a great time at Chic & Basic, the guys on reception were super from the moment we arrived - they gave us directions and tips about some quirky bars and good restaurants that I asked about and also offered some more to visit too. The hotel was quirky clean and comfortable in the cool Born area, breakfast at... More

This place has a very cool atmosphere and very trendy design features... we loved the sleek black & white decor, with LED coloured lights everywhere, the private balcony with modern furniture, the glassed-in shower in the middle of the bedroom. The hotel also has a common area called "Be Yourself" and an adjacent "Help Yourself" area with free coffee, tea,... More

Booked it based on Fodors review for great hip place to stay. Paid only 130$ a night and the room is pretty cool and clean. Great location too. I really liked the common area with free coffee, water, books, and desktops. People from all over hung out in the evening and it was quiet in am. Desk staff was very... More

This is a cool, funky and chic hotel in a great location. We found this place after wandering around looking for new accommodations for the remainder of our stay in Barcelona. It's across the street from the Chocolate Museum! Stephan and his staff were attentive and welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. Our room was bright, airy... More

Booked the XL room for a special occasion for myself and my boyfriend and we were both very excited about staying in the hotel. The website leads you to believe that this is the largest room available and we thought it would be very spacious and the nicest room they had. However, the room was not very big and the... More

The location of Chic & Basic Born is great. We found the Born area to be probably the best to walk around in Barcelona. Near restaurants, the beautiful Ciutadella Park, within walking distance to Las Ramblas, metro and everything you need. The hotel is very hip and spacey, perfect for couples and people who love design. We were worried it... More
