My 25 year-old daughter and I visited Barcelona for the first time. We came to visit another of my daughters who is studying here for semester. We stayed for 9 nights, and found Chic & Basic just adorable. It is not for you if you are looking for a cookie cutter American style hotel or 4 star hotel. It is... More

Easy to reach from the airport and close to the city center, this "hotel" will suit your needs for a short stay. Las Ramblas is about 10 minutes away and the subway is 2 min walking. From there, you can reach any points in Barcelona in 15 minutes maximum. I have been there to see FC Barcelona's Champions League game... More

Having read the reviews on this site, we chose C&B as somewhere cheap (by Barcelona's standards) but comfortable, well located and basic but not too 'hostel-y'. It was exactly what we wanted. Perhaps not the most cosy place to stay for longer than a few nights, but if you're looking for a smart-ish crash-pad with good services you couldn't do... More

As per other reviews.... Great location...arriving in. Strange city late at night can be daunting. The location is 100 metres from the Placa Universitat bus stop for the Aerobus and 50 metres from the Universitat metro. Clean, quiet, friendly and just a little funky it was a good place to stay. Just one tip...read the instructions for early hours arrivals... More

This hostal is situated quite in the front of Gothic and china area of the Old town. The location is great for young people to stay. It have extraordinary neo-cosmic&alternative design with Communist elements :) Very friendly & democratic atmosphere. U can have tea, coffee and toast with marmalade or cornflakes included. Good time to change with couple of impressions... More

Great location and value as long as you are OK with a hostel-type setup (communal area/table for complimentary breakfast; no hotel services or amenities; hotel is more like apartments in a residential building). Rooms are small, cool white modern and the a/c works well. Just make sure not to get a room with the toilet/shower combo stall - it's like... More

This hotel is at good location in Barcelona. You can walk to Ramblas, La boqueria market, gothic neighborhood, El Raval, and all essential services are within walking distance. Nevertheless, sleeping quality was poor for a middle-aged couple like us. We stayed in a "large room" but it wasn´t large enough for the two of us. The concept of the toilet/shower... More

I managed to find this gem of a place, more like a hostel to some, at a relatively decent price for the summer, since accommodations located in a central place like Plaza Catalunya usually costs a bomb.. Located in front of the Universidad, in a youth-infested and relaxed neighbourhood and it was hard to find since it was located within... More
