Chic&basic Born

Si buscas algo diferente, moderno y alejado del «tipico» hotel anodino, este es tu hotel!
Ubicado en un edificio clásico han conseguido conservar su encanto mezclándolo con ideas nuevas. Techos altos, molduras antiguas todo ello con luces Led en las habitaciones que puedes cambiar a tu gusto!
El baño es acristalado así que es un concepto algo diferente, pero eso sí, tiene una cortina para aquellos que quieran preservar su intimidad.
Y por si todo esto no fuese suficiente, organizan eventos super chulos así que habrá que seguir de cerca su agenda!

Conocí el hotel gracias a un evento de diseñadores emergentes y ¡Me encantó!
Sí al uso de los fluorescentes psicodelicos, sí a las molduras y techos de 3m típicos del ensanche barcelonés, oda al cabecero como eje central de la habitación y, por supuesto, fan fatal de sus baños semi-​descubiertos con luces fluor a tutiplen.
Porque un hotel no tiene que ser la habitación de invitados rancia ni un cuarto aseptico de manicomio, chic&basic es divertido y refrescante, lo peta!

This is one of the best experiences I’ve had in a hotel. Not only is it a charming building with lots of beautiful common spaces and generous amenities, this hotel provides top notch customer service. The front desk is extremely helpful; they spent a solid hour helping us pick out and book a wonderful tour. The next day they made it a point to find us and make sure we enjoyed ourselves. All the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The neighborhood is excellent as well. 2 thumbs up!

Just stepped in for a coffee and beer at the reception bar — nice space and friendly service!

This was a great find for us! The location is great, close to the beach and still reasonably priced compared to other hotels we looked at that were on the beach. The best part for us was the nice lady who worked at the front desk, we didn’t catch her name, but she was so helpful! You can rent bikes from the hotel 5E for a half day or 10 for the full day which is cheaper than other places we found. The lady gave us a map where to bike that has nice paths that wouldn’t be over crowded with tourists, but still have great site-​seeing. The room was awesome, the lights in the shower were cool and the lobby areas were nice! I love that they had water and coffee available in the lobby. Overall a great hotel and we will stay here if we visit Barcelona again.
Oh also minutes– walking distance to many great restaurants and shopping. they recommended Burmouth and it was delicious and great priced.

Chic and basic was a great find in a brilliant location for all the main attractions in Barcelona.
When we arrived on Friday night the bar was full of chatter and the staff were very welcoming –24 hour reception is very handy. We plagued them every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas and their recommendations never disappointed!
The rooms were clean and the lights settings were amazing. We had a large interior room and had plenty of space for the two of us to move around with ease. The free to use nespresso machine and the bottled water in a bright community area was a major bonus for us too!
The only thing I could change would perhaps be a window looking out onto the street, but it’s a small complaint. I would definitely stay here again next time in Barcelona.

Chic and Basic lived up to the write up that I saw on a CoolHunting web site. The all white interior and young, fresh design really added to the ambiance. The staff was super friendly, the hotel is in a great neighborhood, and helpful and overall the expeirence was great.
I’m sure that this was in no small part due to staying in the Extra Extra Large room. We had our own private deck that looked out onto a courtyard and lots of space within the room. The high ceilings and mirrors added a lot to the space and we felt like we had a whole suite. The room was also right next to the common area where the free coffee and snacks were — very convenient for late night snacking.
The hotel is in the Born district which was our favorite part of Barcelona. It’s a 10 minute walk to La Ramblas — if you really feel the need to go there — but there were lots of great restaurants and shops right around the hotel. We’d stay there again next time we’re in Barcelona — in fact we tried to move from our La Ramblas hotel back to Chick and Basic, but they were all booked.

Si me dejaran encerrada en el Chic&Basic con zombis hambrientos una noche, probablemente sobreviviría sin un rasguño. Y no es por presumir pero sí… es por presumir.
Antes de ser un hotel, el edificio del Chic&Basic se llamaba Collegi Àlvarez… y era mi cole.
Gracias a la amabilidad de la recepcionista, una horda de antiguos alumnos pudimos entrar a hacer una visita y comprobamos que la cosa no ha cambiado demasiado. Lo que antes era «la clase de los angelitos» (con un fresco de ángeles en el techo), ahora son dos suites dobles la mar de blancas y estupendas con baño propio y unas luces de colores que salen del cabezal de la cama.
Chic&Basic es muy chic y muy basic, porque sin tener grandes florituras, conserva ese encanto de edificio neoclásico barcelonés y que yo siempre recordaré como mi colegio.

Yo lo conozco de asistir a eventos. Y esas tiras de cadena o de plástico que circundan las puertas de las habitaciones (con una iluminación fucsia?), resultan muy after hours. Y, seguramente, en algún lugar de su concepto hay una clara comprensión de que un hotel también puede ser un After, pero con las más completas comodidades.
Su nombre lo dice todo. Está ubicado en una casa regia súper chula, con habitaciones de diseño moderno y en general, un rollito divertido.
