Friendly and accommodating staff, excellent location. We will certainly return. We used, due to our needs and circumstances, three different rooms. They vary in sizes, appearance and location. Of the three rooms, the one with a balcony overlooking the street and the park was the most comfortable.

Upon arrival the check-in is around the corner from the actual hotel but this was not far and the staff there were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was in good condition and clean (slightly dirty in the bathroom around the sink and unusable in room safe but there is one at the reception you can get so this isn't an issue). We got clean towels everyday and a room refresh, very good experience for the price and the staff were helpful with anything we needed.

Nice central hotel

Good central location near metrostations, Arc de triumph. You are close to almost everything. city center, barcelona zoo, sagrada familia etc are within few km of you're hotel. The arrival was a bit confusing because i didn't know that check-in an handing of keys is at the chic&basic born hotel just around the corner, a small information about that would have helped med a lot. But thats just a small issue, i can recommend the hotel to everybody

Great Staff and Location!

We had a lovely stay. The staff were absolutely wonderful; gracious, and accommodating. We are able to store our luggage with the front desk while we waited for our room to be ready and also the next day while we waited to head to our ship. The fire alarm went off in the building and being that the staff aren't in the building it took a good amount of time for them to turn it off. The beds were okay, but I take an extremely soft bed. The room was clean and had a lovely view. There were plenty of good restaurants nearby and we enjoyed strolling around and checking out the area.

Great staff - 2 things to know

Fantastic staff, hotel is pretty much what it says it is. 2 things to know: #1 there is no desk in the room and it's harder to work cross legged for hours at a time on my bed than it used to be. #2 after about 8pm homeless people sleep on the corner of the block. They're no bother, but it changed my feelings on the area.

Good balance

The check in was a little strange. The hotel has 2 parts. The address i was provided was not where I had to collect the keys. A kind lady next door guided me. The hotel and room was fine. The shower leaked all over the floor but these are not major issues. I was comfortable and felt secure.

Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer und das war sehr klein aber für 4 Nächte vollkommen ok. Ein Bett, ein Schrank und Fliesen auf dem Boden und fertig ist das Zimmer. Die Rezeption ist eine Straße weiter um die Ecke in einer Bar. Lief aber alles reibungslos und sehr freundlich. Das Bad ist modern mit großer Badewanne sogar. Das beste an dem Hotel ist einfach die Lage. Man ist von dort aus überall schnell, am Strand, zur Rambla 15 Minuten zu Fuß, El Born um die Ecke viele gute Bars zum Feiern und Cocktail trinken. Die Lage ist Top !!! Auch zum Flughafen kam ich sehr leicht. 15 Minuten zu Fuß zum Placa Catalunyia und von dort in ca. 30 Minuten zum Flughafen mit dem Flughafen Bus. Super !

The room was tiny and the shower was hard to manuever in because of its size but the water pressure was exceptional and the room clean. My tv wasn't working. Not sure if it was the actual tv or remote. There are plenty of shopping options but not for tourist. I had to go to the party area for a barcelona tshirt. Plenty of restaurants and sight-seeing in the area. Plus the train station was only 2 blocks away.

Great stay at the Chic&Basic Zoo! We really appreciated the powerful A/C, helpful staff who let us check in early and stow our bags before check in and after check out. It was very quiet, and close to lots of restaurants and shops. It was a solid 20 minute walk to most things but very close to a train station, main bus routes, and the parc which we enjoyed!

Comfy beds, really good location, only negative is there’s no mini fridge in the rooms which would’ve been handy for keeping cold water but other than that overall good experience.
