Cannot tell you how good the location is within spitting distance of everything including the beach.
hotel does what it says on the tin

i loved the chill out room with very large sofas and internet.

only downside if you can call it one is that the floors in the hallway are hard so you hear people walking sometimes but thats just me being anal

staff are great fun, young and up for helping out.

enjoy

The hotel is in a great location in the Born area. It has a unique charme and I was really impressed by the design, it is very stylish and contemporary. Not so many extra facilities but it is a little price to pay for staying in a quite original hotel. Rooms are spacious with all glass showers and wooden floors. You can play with light colours as you wish, from yellow to green. The hotel seems at bit mysterious at first, it is like being in a David Lynch movie! Service is good and breakfast is served in a very nice cafè.Excellent value for money. For fans of contemporary design.

The Chic & Basic Born has a perfect location in the middle of the trendy El Born district of Barcelona, 10 minutes walk to the Cathedral.
The hotel is a very trendy place with very trendy people, so people watching here is great fun!

Rooms are indeed special..... Our room was all white, with a LED lightning system so you are able to change the light/ mood of the room into various colours. Great fun for 10 minutes, but then you think the whole idea is kind of stupid... :)
There is no separate bathroom, and the shower is a glass installation in the middle of the room. I went there with my partner, but going there with my mum would be a quite different story...! The room was also quite small, with little room for suitcases, and almost no floor space.

A special hotel experience, but on my next visit I would prefer to stay in one of the other design hotels...

I'm not giving this hotel a top review because the rooms really could use some maintenance. Almost everything in the room is white, which means that it looks dirty if it's not maintained. Our room could have used a good paint job and a major cleaning. The dust skirt on the bed was covered in stains. The hotel was however well priced and comfortable with free water, coffee and use of the computer which was good. It's also very central. If this hotel makes a few small changes, it would be great.

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 real treat. The hotel was presented with a real charm by the materials in the room. It's located in a great part of town, about 10 mins from the Ramblas and in a lovely area all of its own. You can also rent bikes from the hotel at Euro 11 per day which is a BARGAIN - we had a great day out on them! I've already recommended this place to a friend and will continue to do so - we loved it.
