We had a great time at this hotel. It's beautiful - we were both blown away by the design of the place. We got a free upgrade to an extra large room which was much appreciated and it was a joy to stay there. We loved the free coffee/tea/water facilities, the bed was super comfortable and it was just a... more

It is one of those trendy hotels suited for those who love to experience something new. The room was well designed, very chick and minimalist furniture. The hallway and the architecture feel like you are in a disco hotel. There was a very cute receptionist and very accommodating. The room is a little small.I do not recommend it for those... more

I had a perfect stay in Chic and Basic Born. The staff was friendly and the rooms were nice. The have a special style of decorating the hotel. It's modern mixed with the beatifull old building. I like how they work with the light effects. more

We were not disappointed in the least ... Perfect location for the turistic tours ... a lovely... more

My wife and I stayed at the Chic and Basic Born for 4 nights in May 2008. It was our first visit to Spain (Barcelona) and decided to book this hotel from reading the reviews on TA. We departed Toronto on May 16th for 6 nights in Dublin Ireland and then 4 nights in Barcelona. We had stayed at the... more

The perfect hotel for those of you who prefer lighted curtains instead of a desk to work at. Also the perfect place to stay if you prefer your loo in the center of the room, don't need wireless internet (just not working), prefer rooms that are really hot in the middle of the summer despite "air-conditioning", prefer to leave your... more
