clean rooms, staff sooo friendly, very near the metro station and bus stops, best hotel for cruise travelers starting from barcelona as no transportation will be needed, on ramblas street the heart of catalonia

We made a reservation and paid on a booking site, about 6-8 weeks prior to our arrival. We reserved a big room with a balcony. After checking in, we were led to an elevator in the very back of the hotel, in a joint building which looked nothing like the main building. When opening the door to our room, we... More

Liked the idea of Chic & Basic and the description and pictures looked promising. Booked two nights via third party an got a confirmation that a room with balcony was reserved for us. When we arrive we're shown to a second elevator passing through some kind of "backdoor area" that looks nothing like the rest of the place. We start... More

Used this Hotel for a 4 Day visit to Barcelona in May. Excellent Location adjacent to the Vibrant Ramblas, and Port area. Very handy for the Open Top Bus Tours - Stop being less than 5mins away. Room very comfortable as were the Beds, despite other comments on this Site. Breakfast - although not taken - was far more than... More

I went to Chic & Basic with my girlfriend for a short 3 night city break. The hotel itself is in a great location, round the corner from La Ramblas - full of nice cafe's, restaurants and bars. The hotel has a certain charm surrounding it as soon as you enter with a mini style car sitting in the lobby... More

This week was very busy in Barcelona, and hotel prices really high. I booked this hotel for 125€ per night, which was a good deal comparing to other hotel prices. Location is brilliant, close to everything, but still very quiet. Rooms are nice, interesting design, the main hall is also very inviting. Service and reception staff are very friendly and... More

Had very low expectations prior to arriving to this hotel (considering the very economical price). The hotel is located in a cul-de-sac off the Ramblas, which is great because it's central but quiet. Basic room, just beds and a shower, fine because we didn't spend much time in the room anyway. WIFI didn't work in the room, and when I... More

The hotel is at the port end of La Rambla in a pedestrian street. The double room we had was large, clean, and simply furnished. There was a small kitchenette at one end with a mid size fridge. The floor is composite, not carpet, which is good for allergy sufferers. The shower room was compact but clean. All in all... More

The staff were friendly, welcoming and happy to give advice. The downstairs areas are pretty cool. Our room had a two ring burner and some pots and pans and a fridge so I guess we could have cooked. But no kettle or coffee/tea making stuff. The bed was very comfy and the room quiet. This was our first time in... More
