My husband and I booked this hotel through Expedia.com for our Honeymoon in April of this year and absolutely LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! As well as an excellent price in a wonderful neighborhood (with the metro, like others said, only being a few minutes walk), this hotel was absolutely ROMANTIC! I loved the lighting and the interactive TV with... more

This was our second stay at this hotel. The first time was in Sept. 2007. We planned a quick, 4-day trip in Barcelona, and decided to stay here again, as our last stay in this hotel was only for one night. When I arrived around noon, I asked in Spanish if the clerk spoke English. My boyfriend and I speak... more

Great location. Very modern, trendy design. Clear plastic enclosed shower in the middle of the room is cool. Kind of small room, not much space to spread stuff out. Lounge area with comfortable couches, small fridge with water, plus tea pot and high end espresso machine. Computer with internet available as well. The rooms are not soundproof (one couple I... more

We recently stayed at the Chic and Basic for our first wedding anniversary. They could not have been more accommodating - when we arrived it was pouring with rain, so when we checked in (early and not a problem) he noticed our room smelt of sewage (just dodgy Spanish drains I think!), so the manager called our room and offered... more

Chic & Basic in Barcelona was wonderful. Loved the personality of the place and it's in a great area. Close to shopping, dining, sites, the harbor everything. We stayed in the XL room. The configuration of the room makes it a bit difficult to get around with a lot of luggage. But I would totally stay in that room again.... more

When I booked this place, I did not have that high expectations, considering I paid 96 euros for the M room. So I kind of expected a 1) small room (since I booked the smallest room) 2) overdone led lights 3) no service. In fact my experience was the complete opposite. The room is a comfortable size for one person.... more

The rooms are exactly as they appear on the website. The decor is minimalist and white. The rooms themselves are compact, not much room between the door and the huge bed, but it's all about basic too - nothing fussy here. There is a multi media screen (don't call it a telly - so says the guide book) in the... more

A perfect hotel, We liked it. Had a XL large room with balcony. Perfect location, good and safe neighborhood. With very good bars and restaurants. Gracia's. more

My husband and I have just returned from staying at Chic & Basic Born for 3 nights and had a great time. It was a great base for our weekend and good value. The hotel was in a great location for walking to all the sites (only used public transport to get to Park Guell, we walked everywhere else) and... more
