Excellent location for walking through the city for our last day in Spain. Easy and quick access from Barcelona Santa to start our day. And even better to catch the A1 bus to the airport the next. Room was exactly as expected from what was represented. Coffee and snack/breakfast to fuel our day was appreciated. All in all, it would be a good spot to base from extended exploring of the city.

The location was amazing. It is in the center and within walking distance to everywhere.
The room was very clean and cleaned every day. It always smelled very nice. I stayed alone, but the rooms with a balcony are perfect for two people. The balcony is very cute. Every evening, I sat there and enjoyed watching the street.
This hostel offers great value for money. There is 24-hour access to water, tea, coffee, cake, crackers, yogurt, and cornflakes in the common area. But If your expectations are very high, you should choose a 5-star hotel.
If I come again, I will stay here again. Thank you!

We're 2 seniors who enjoyed staying here!

We are two seniors who spent 4 nights here. Although our room was very small, it was well-designed. We spent our days as tourists and came back to the room briefly before heading out again in the evening. The location is very convenient for shopping, restaurants, and the flamenco show which we saw at the City Hall.
We were able to travel easily using public transit. The bed was firm but comfortable. The room had very good lighting options, and sufficient electric plugs for charging our devices. As we were on the same floor as the breakfast area, the clatter of dishes could sometimes be heard in the mornings, but it was nice and quiet at night. We really appreciated the thoughtful extra touches including little gifts left in the room on our arrival. Overall, as budget travelers, it was a great choice!

The place was acceptable. There was no reception in the building, you had to walk around the block to check-in or if you needed something. Cleaning was decent. I had a room with a balcony and the street was noisy. Bring earplugs. The breakfast is very basic, but it was available 24 hrs.

I know the area very well. At first I thought wow the room was in the small side but you don’t go on holiday to live in your hotel

+s safe & secure; close to metro lines 1,2,3; a lot of restaurants , bars attractions all within walking distance , nice n quiet overnight , excellent kitchen facility on 1st floor for breakfast, very efficient & friendly staff, the cleanliness , great air-con , a big Aldi 2 doors down , check in is just around the corner in Carrer de Gravina

-s not a tremendous amount of space for hanging /storing clothes but you cope; not having a tea making facility in the room but offset by the kitchen facility on 1st floor - you can make a cup have there or take up to your room

I loved staying there & already planning trip back

Basic room that meets your needs

Room was very basic. Met our needs and great location for sure. But only one sliding glass door for the shower and the toilet. You can only have one side closed at a time. Which makes it a little awkward if sharing a room with someone. The balcony was awesome to have, loved it. But the sliding glass door for the balcony did not do a good job of blocking out noises from the outside. All in all, a good place to stay for the price and location. Would stay again.

The Expedia ad was misleading. I thought I was staying in a hotel ergo the name \"Chic and Basic Hotel\", however, the Hotel is also connected with a hostel. I was in a dingy hostel room right next to the breakfast area. It was loud in the mornings, there were cockroaches and mould in the shower/toilet area. Definitely spent the least amount of time there as possible during my visit to Barcelona. Nonetheless, the staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

We were shown a different room when we booked and when we entered we were given a very unpleasant room where there was only one sliding door so the toilet or the shower would remain open while you were sleeping which was the sort room to stay in. We were clearly shown a different room and given a completely different one, it was uncomfortable to stay in

Location was amazing!

Nicest hostel I’ve stayed is so far(besides the smell of cigarette smoke). The room wasn’t huge, but the bed was big and comfy. Make sure you read the check in instructions in the confirmation, since there is no reception at this location, you have to go to their other location (about a 3 minute walk, it’s close). The door of the hostel doesn’t have a big sign or anything so just make sure you’re looking at the address. location is great, great bars and restaurants and shops all on the same street and metro is on the same block.

Not for me

Stayed for one night in a single room as I had to be at the university. As the name suggests, it's basic. The chicness came in the form of nice toiletries, a music player and a complementary cotton tote bag. It is not a hotel, but 2 converted apartments on the 1st and 2nd floors of a residential building. The room itself was tiny and lacked a surface - desk/bedside cabinet - to put your things on. The 'bathroom' is not a separate room, but separated from the bed by means of a sliding door. The shower is good. I knew breakfast was a make it yourself affair in a communal kitchen in the 1st floor apartment. In theory, this should be fine. However a group of guests completely took over leaving nowhere for anyone else to sit. I was there early and one of the party was preparing breakfast for her entire group and she had already set the table for them long before they got up. On the plus side, the coffee was very good. Unfortunately that's all I managed to get for breakfast and I drank it standing. The staff are pleasant and the location was perfect for me. However, it was a bit expensive when compared to what else is available. My colleagues paid the same for double rooms in nearby 4 star hotels. Overall, it's exactly as described. If that's what you want, go for it. I have no complaints, but it just wasn't for me.

The reception desk is in another hotel which is fine as it is only a 2 min walk. The staff were friendly enough but the lady in charge of the breakfast area had a very bad attitude and she selectively asked those going there about their room numbers which felt inappropriate.
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and had everything you needed for a short stay though it was very small.
The main PLUS going for this hotel is the location which is a few minutes walk from La Rambla and 1 minute walk from one of the main Metro stations in Barcelona.
I recommend it for a short stay.

We enjoyed a lot our stay at this hotel.
Hotel was pretty basic, but it had all that we needed in order to have a great stay.
The location was excellent! just a couple of blocks away from Plaza Cataluña.
All in all, we highly recommend this hotel.

Room is too small

The location is pretty good, but the room is too small and separated to different building and street with hotel office building.

Aptly named, but more basic than chic

Aptly named I would say, but more basic than chic. It suited our needs with its central location and affordable price for a night. Definitely for those who plan to be out and about Barcelona and only coming back to the hotel to sleep. Space is very small and a bit cramped but the bed was decently comfy. Check in was actually at Chic & Lemon around the block (which looked really nice), but guests of Chic&Basic were allowed to take advantage of the amenities there too, such as the elegant sun terrace and free water and coffee. Service at check in and check out was nice and pleasant.

Nice hotel in the city-center

Very central located, very easy connectivity to public transportation and airport. All major facilities can be reached within 30-45 minutes by feed if you want to walk. Clean rooms, easy breakfast , rooms are small but effective for a holiday stay

We arrived and were made to move to a different hotel and in the end then an apartment down the street from the second hotel. Upon arrival it was not explained to us why but that the hotel was fully booked. We had to go back to the original hotel each day for breakfast and the first morning a member of staff explained that there had been a problem in our room and we were changed. It was also explained the apartment was an upgrade and that the original hotel was intact a hostel. This was not how it was sold on the website and it was quite an inconvenience arriving late and being made to move. While the apartment was ok, it was on the opposite of the city where we wanted to be and quite noisy and cold. It made the start of our trip very annoying an inconvenient.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed

Yes, there is no sign Chic& Basic Tallers at your hotel, just 82. Yes, check in/office for this hotel is at their sister hostel Chic&Basic Lemon, behind this one. Yes, the hotels are not connected through the buildings - you have to go outside. Yes, rooms are small. Yes the shower/toilet setup is cramped and inconvenient. Yes, there are no frills in your room. BUT... We received outstanding helpful service. The place was clean. The hotels are in a great area close to La Ramblas, Placa De Catalunya, Metro, great shops and the airport shuttle. They have complimentary wonderful breakfast options, 24 hr coffee and at the \"Lemon\" a calming patio to relax in. Besides all this, we paid much less than the other Ramblas hotels in the area. You have to decide what is important to you.....

Barcelona Visit

Small room but it worked for our needs. Don't bring big suitcases or they won't fit in the room. Great location near Metro stops. Very easy to get to from the airport. Only complaints were the remotes didn't operate but we didn't stay in the room other than to clean up and sleep. The free food in the common area was a bonus.

Very small room although in nice location wouldn't recommend it for long stays. Don't let the pictures fool you as they were probably taken when the hostal first opened. Overall was ok but could get something better for the price.

Small, comfortable hotel close to the university

Just what I needed for a short conference visit, travelling alone. The room I had was compact but comfortable, with air conditioner and private bathroom. Breakfast is very basic, coffee and cereal available in a communal space. But there are dozens of coffee shops around, offering a croissant and cappuccino for 3 euros, if you need variety. Note that reception is located around the corner, so coming and going feels more like coming home to an apartment than to a hotel. Very convenient location to the university, with lots of shopping, restaurants (including a brewery, wine bars, etc.) in short walking distance.

Quarto muito pequeno, sem local para colocar as roupas e as malas, improvisaram um banheiro dentro do quarto com pouco espaço para o vaso sanitário e o box, o lavatório é separado e dentro do quarto, coisa que nunca presenciei em lugar algum.
Unica coisa boa é que no local tem uma cozinha para atender a todos os hóspedes, com café, pão, água, algumas frutas, frios e iogurtes disponíveis 24hs.
Não voltaria mais.

Small and tired room. Paint was falling off the wall and the water in the toilet was running. This does not deserve to be called hotel, hostel is more correct.

Help yourself frukost. Yoghurt och rostad macka. Ost eller skinka. Inga grönsaker. Kaffemaskin som ibland gjorde kaffe ibland inte. Smutsigt porslin.
Frostade fönster så man såg inte ut från rummet vad det var för väder ens.
Väldigt lyhört. Man hörde någon annans telefonsamtal och alarm.
Hårfön funkade inte.

Os funcionários são gentis e cordiais e os quartos são limpos, porém o Hotel é apenas um andar de apartamentos próximo do hotel Chic and Basic Lemon (Reding Hotel), o qual você precisa ir até lá para fazer check-in e checkout
O café da manhã está sempre disponível no modelo faça você mesmo (uma espécie de hostel)
O meu quarto, especificamente, não tinha espaço além da cama e das malas. Os porta-toalhas não seguram as toalhas e as tomadas não estão disponíveis de maneira prática para ao menos carregar o celular

Hôtel très bien situé, avec un excellent petit déjeuner et un accès libre au café et au frigo, très appréciable. En revanche, gros point négatif : le bruit (mauvaise isolation, impression de dormir dans la rue) ainsi que des travaux dès 8h au-dessus ou en dessous des chambres, peu propices au repos.

Les points positifs de l'hébergement est qu'il est propre et très bien placé.
Pour le reste, une odeur de canalisation, les toilette exiguës et le petit déj vraiment sommaire.

Une forte odeur de canalisation et de renfermé était présente dans la chambre. J'en ai parlé avec la personne qui gère l'accueil mais qui est dans un autre établissement. Nous avons communiqué par mail et ses réponses étaient très rapide. Cependant, impossible de me faire changer de chambre car il n'y avait plus de place. Cet incident fâcheux fut vraiment déplaisant même si un produit pour estomper un peu les odeurs a été mit dans les canalisations après ma demande. J'ai demandé à changer de chambre et jai donc dû retourner à l'accueil (extérieur à l'hotel) afin de récupérer la nouvelle carte et déposer celle de ma chambre. Le personnel a été réactif je n'ai rien à redire sur ce point mais le problème n'a pas été résolu en temps et en heure et ca c'est un bémol. Aussi, les chambres deviennent vétustes de par l'humidité etc.. donc on a beau nettoyer ca ne suffit plus. C'est dommage. L'option salle à manger et petit déjeuner est vraiment bien. La salle est entretenu et propre.

La ubicación muy buena y el trato recibido también, pero la ducha y el inodoro están ubicados en lo que debería ser un armario con lo cual si hacías tus necesidades tenias el olor allí casi continuo y el desayuno en una nevera con tuppers para el embutido y sin instrucciones para la cafetera o el microondas,self-service TOTAL por lo demás la habitación muy limpia y como digo el trato inmejorable aunque las fotos de la web no tienen nada que ver con la habitación que nosotros tuvimos....
