I really enjoyed the hotel. It was perfect for me and my daughters (18 and 20). They had all of these little treats throughout our trip that added some special touches.
The only downside was that the bathroom didn't have too much privacy so I'd only recommend going with people you are already very comfortable with.
Nice breakfast! Great location!

nice staff, cool area around- a lot of dining options. cozy hotel in general, could be more clean and renovated.
We really enjoyed our four night stay in this boutique hotel, just before Christmas. The staff were v friendly, the breakfast was good and the room lovely with a great balcony where we could watch the world go by.
El Born is great part of the city, many good tapas bars, the Picasso Museum only five minutes away, and many wonderful shops to explore in the small alley ways of the old city.
We were unsure why the hotel uses 'Basic' in the name, it is anything but, and is a great mid range hotel with original décor.
Our only gripe was the shower basin overflowed ! We did report this but don't think it was really sorted as we could only take very short showers. The plug needs a good clean out guys!
Overall though, we highly recommend and would stay again for sure if ever back in Barcelona.
We styaed here for one night before we went to Sitges for a wedding weekend. It was a unique building and the rooms were comfortable. The location was perfect for walking around Born. The service was excellent.
Really cool hotel!! GREAT location. Cool room. Definitely will be back!

Good place to stay for a night
The hotel has some weird decor like beads hanging outside the rooms and elevator. Besides that the room is spacious and comfortable. It was quiet during the night and in a good neighborhood.
Room was smaller than expected but very cozy and comfy! Many dining options around the area and a self served cafe inside the hotel with free stuff. Would stay there again!
Our 5 day stay at Chic & Basic was very good although the bathroom arrangement was not the best for privacy and space. Coffee area was a nice treat too. Staff were very helpful and friendly.....great job!
