The room was cleaned every day, and complimentary water, coffee, and tea were provided, which was a nice touch after spending the whole day walking around.
The rooms could benefit from more storage and better organization, and the property would also benefit from some maintenance and updates.
The location is very central, making it convenient to explore the area.

lovely boutique hotel in the El Born area of Barcelona and really enjoyed the experience, the design is stylish, rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect for walking to cafés, shops, and historic streets. Customer service was very attentive and welcoming throughout the stay. The atmosphere feels charming and local, ideal for exploring the city. The only downside is the bathroom setup, especially the lack of shower privacy, which may not be ideal for family groups. Overall, a great stay for travelers who value design, service, and location.

Adored this hotel and would stay again, even with its shortcomings (listed below)!

Things we LOVED
- LOCATION!
- shutters over the balcony doors blocked sound/light. The room was exceptionally quiet considering how busy the neighborhood is.
- the layout of the room was super funky/fun, and balcony over the street was fantastic
- the mattress was firm and comfortable- no “dip”
- lounge area outside our room was fantastic! Loved having easy access to cold water (still or sparkling!) to refill our bottles, a very well stocked coffee and tea station, and yummy little cookies (biscuits) and gummies.
- the woman filling the coffee station was wonderful and so helpful!
- welcome wine and snacks!!

Things to improve:
- There were a few spots where the room was very well worn. The kick plate under the toilet room was rotten and falling apart and the shower stall showed lots of wear.
- The desk staff were not knowledgeable about the area. We asked for suggestions for food within a 30 minute walk (a large area) and they gave us a typed list (great!) but said they’d never tried any of them nor did they have any suggestions of their own, or ever hear any feedback from other locals. A bummer but we also recognize not everyone is able to eat out…so this is definitely a first world problem.
- Although the room had a good A/C, we wish the duvet was thinner/lighter OR the bed had a top sheet (something we found rarely in our travels). Even with the A/C cranking…we were melting once in bed.

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.

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!

Hotel is lovely - it’s in the centre of Born which is a great area in Barcelona to be in. I had a single room which was small as expected, almost like a little studio. The shower was next to the bed which was fine, but when showering the room gets very hot and the air con is very weak at that point. It’s a quirky hotel so I would book it again but def would choose a bigger room instead with a completely separate bathroom.

After a horrid airport experience, Elena, the Receptionist, recognized our stress. She asked if she could find a ready room, would we like to go directly rather than wait until our specific room was ready at 3P. It was 9:30A. In the meantime, have a free coffee during the approximate 15 minute wait.
That kindness and personalized greeting was appreciated.
The Chic and Basic Born is in an historic quiet spot. It was the port in the 1400’s. The boutique hotel was a former school, therefore the rooms after substantial, thick walled, unique and comfortable. We could see the Museo de Xocolata from the bathroom window … I wish i could take the Moka home.
Walking was safe. Restaurants numerous. 6 minutes walk to the Zoo, right on the Ciutadella park. A beautiful walk. Not a lot of tourists, very few tourist traps .. a real neighborhood.
Breakfast at C&B was substantial but more European than American. No pancakes, but croissants. A variety of breads, cheeses, hot scrambled eggs and crisp bacon or cold hard cooked eggs and a variety of cold cuts soprasetto, hams, yogurt and granola or a cold cereal sliced and whole fresh fruits.
I would be remiss if I did not mention my husband’s favorite item, Cafe latte prepared daily and perfectly by Franca. Hope he remembers because I won’t do as well!
We will look for other Cic and Basics

Barcelona was a little more expensive that expected. The street this is on gets noisy at night and they have earplugs available. Convenient to walk around el born and old part of the city.

However… we stayed at the beginning and end of the trip. The first room was fine, was the Double plus balcony. Second time same format of a room and the shower was in the middle of the room with no opaque glass or full curtain. The toilet was it a closet. Very odd. Also the design is quirky — neon lights in the room and ropes that you have to push through to enter the room.

Area felt safe, with some bars and restaurants close by. Only negative would be that the rooms aren't 100% soundproof, could hear some snoring here and there. That being said, I would stay here again.

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!

I’m 64 yrs old woman who travels solo always looking for safety first. Not only the área was safe but all the staff were always willing to help and giving directions and sugestións on where to go, what and how to get there. 24 hrs receptionist available is a most. Definetly my first choice in the El Born neighborhood. Special thanks to Male and Alfa and the other girl at the reception!

Second Stay at Chic & Basic Born

My partner had stayed in this hotel on a business trip a year before our own trip to Barcelona, so he was happy to book it a second time. Well located with a decent breakfast and bar area. Building itself is lovely. Only small issues were the shower hose head was broken in Room 10 (we used the rainfall shower head, so no worries on a lack of shower) and the heating was turned up very high in the room without us knowing it was on full blast on the first night (we are Irish so are used to the cold in January, this was too warm for us and window couldn't be open all night due to outside noise)

Our stay at Chic&Basic Born Hotel was great. The receptionist was friendly and gave great food recommendations. The room was just as pictured, and housekeeping and fresh towels were provided daily. The location was surrounded by many shops and restaurants, and walking distance to the Arc de Triomf and different neighborhoods. I would stay here again!

I have stayed several times at this Chic&Basic Location, the location is very convenient and we love that is not right on the touristy part of the city. The room needed a bit of repairs on restroom wise, some light fixtures out of place and the shower splashes onto the hardwood floor. Otherwise we strongly recommend this hotel as it is close to some of our favorite restaurants.

The location of the hotel is good. Walking distance to most popular attractions. Also there many restaurants near the hotel. The staff is very helpful. The drawback is there is no elevator. Inside the our room, the
floor is not level. We had to walk down a few steps to go to the washroom which I think it's hazardous especially in the middle of the night.

We loved our stay here - we had a room with terrace it was spacious with a a really comfortable bed I loved the style of the room and hotel in general being in a beautiful old building, the breakfast is nice simple but plenty enough - daily fruits, yogurt, scrambled eggs and bacon , cold meats , cheese toast croissant and fresh cakes
Also you have free drinks in your room and a help yourself cafe area which is always open with simple snacks and drinks, lots of lounge areas throughout
I would recommend when in Barcelona

Very interesting hotel, unlike any I've been in. Great overall experience. Loved the free Nespresso coffee and snacks. We had room 18 which was at the very end of the hall, which was great because there was no through traffic past our door, so it was quiet. The street outside however, could be a bit loud. Merce24 just started so it was a late night party and it seemed to be just outside the window. Obviously not the properties fault, just keep in mind it can be loud.
The area is great and walkable.

Fab vibe. All the features were great. Hallways were quirky. Stairwell striking! The communal self serve ‘tea/coffee’ areas are a great idea. Rooms were super comfortable. Loved the balcony to watch the world go by first thing in the morning.
A very cool area to stay in & so many things walkable in Barcelona.
The shower is screened so sharing with my daughter was no problem with us at all. Will recommend & would try your other locations on another visit!

Fun interior and great rooms.

Great location near old city but not too close, very touristy though (for all old city area).
Interior decorations were fun, separate small gym, separate hangout area with coffee tea water and even ice.
Room was a good size, shower drain was blocked but it was fixed next day. They forgot to refill the soap though. Nice little balcony overlooking streets.

Quirky, Clean, Great Location

Staff was receptive and informative. The hotel has a quirky, but cool vibe probably most appreciated by couples and younger guests. We had a lovely patio with a sitting cove accessible through French doors in our room. Lots of amenities like coffee, tea, still and water with gas. Also lots of comfortable open areas if you want to chill outside your room. The location is excellent—walking distance to museums, parks, the marina and lots of eateries and bars. The only drawback is that the walls are very thin and if any love is being made, you will hear about it.

The position was great, easy walk to most things and close to transport.
The hotel was ok. Considering the cost of the shoulder season room, there could have been more amenities. As a solo traveler, the room size was fine, would have been a struggle with 2 people. The AC is not controllable in the room as it a central cooling/heating system so I had to ask for an extra doona as my room was freezing. There is no safe or fridge in the room, which is disappointing. You can access a safe in reception but that’s quite inconvenient. No fridge meant I couldn’t buy any snacks that needed refrigeration.
The room doors need to be adjusted as they slam when closing. I found it very annoying to have doors banging at all hours of the night.
The room cleaner was excellent. The coffee/tea break out area was also good.
Would I stay there again?
Probably not, I’d shop around first.

If you like funky, this hotel is for you.
The location can’t be beat, in the thick of the historic district of Barcelona.
Food, food and more food choices literally at the hotel’s doorstep.
Their breakfast offering was just a notch above basic, with scrambled eggs and bacon in addition to the usual cold offerings.
Their small patio offers cold drinks after a hot day sightseeing.
Beware, as their Sangria packs a punch!
Friendly, helpful staff.
Would recommend wholeheartedly.
