My boyfriend and I stayed at Basico over the long weekend last February and have been meaning to write a review ever since. We loved the hotel. We’re 27 and 28 years old and I think it is probably best suited for people who are planning to go up to the roof for drinks at night or at least be... more

Hotel Basico & Hotel Deseo are owned by Grupo Habita. Both are trendy hip small hotels, so you shouldn't expect to get any sleep! Overall, the Hotel Basico & Hotel Deseo are (2) hotels where the DESIGN is their primary GOAL and all other factors of what make an acceptable hotel to stay are null, so don't expect competent service... more

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Basico while on vacation for our friends' wedding. They got married at the hotel, so most of the hotel was occupied by guests of the wedding, and we were able to see multiple rooms. Service at the hotel was spectacular; among the best I've experienced. Staff went above and beyond expectations in helping... more

A very fun, hip approach - the rooms are quite different. The real problem is the incredible noise at all times of the day and the throngs of charter tourists you will hit once you leave the building. Quaint it's not! more

Definitely not for everyone, but we LOVED the design of this hotel and totally enjoyed the upstairs bar and DJ. Our room had a balcony overlooking 5th Avenue, which was fun (but, yes, it's noisy all the way around). Great walking access to 5th Ave restaurants and bars and only a block from the beach. Borrow beach towels and get... more

After a rival hotel lost our reservation we found ourselves saved by Hotel Basico and most specifically it's manager Marianne, who after hearing our terrible story, upgraded us to the best room in the hotel--she truly saved our honeymoon! Marianne and the entire staff were incredibly helpful in making restaurant, nightlife and beach suggestions and really helped us get the... more

The place is very col in design. Despite what others said I found that the blinds were good enough for the privacy. The handcuffs and polarid cameras were a bit much but ok. The real problem was that we ended our honeymoon here after traveling around the Yucatan for 2 weeks. I think it would be best to start a... more

Watch you money. Alot of hidden cost. The rooftop bar recommands drinks then charges you outrageous amounts and because they are not on the menu, you have to pay. Alot better out there, noisy and busy. Looks good but you won't be happy with the service. more

Hip Hotel!

My Husband and I stayed here for a few days on our honeymoon. We loved it!! My husband is a grapic desinger and he really liked the aesthetics of the hotel on a whole. I thought the room was neatly designed. Everything had it's place, very utilitarian.... and the bed was very comfortable. It was located right on the strip... more
