Chic & Basic Born Boutique Hotel, Barcelona

My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable, with some highlights and drawbacks to note. The rooms were spacious and had some fun features like colorful lights, although the lack of cabinets or drawers was a downside. The strong bleach and pee smell was off-putting, with worn-out furnishings, but the toilet issue might explain it. The service was excellent, with a friendly and helpful staff offering great recommendations and assistance. The location was fantastic, surrounded by lovely tapas bars and close to attractions, making it easy to explore the city. The dining experience was good, offering a decent selection despite some basic options. Facilities were adequate, offering what I needed during my stay.

The hotel is conveniently located near El Born and Gotico, making it easy to explore in all directions. The rooms have a slight damp smell due to the shower setup but can be improved by opening the balcony doors. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. However, the dining options are basic, and the absence of hot food is a downside.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of surprises: the quirky decor and complete surprise inside the rooms were delightful, along with the balcony offering a relaxed vibe. However, the room wasn't isolated enough from noise, and a bit of a damp smell lingered when the balcony doors were closed.

The hotel provided a complete surprise inside with quirky decor, a balcony, and relaxed vibes. I appreciated the unlimited coffee and bottled water, but cleanliness was an issue with rust in the bathroom and lots of dust in the room.

The hotel had a well-decorated room with a big and comfortable bed, but unfortunately, it smelled strongly of bleach and pee, and the furnishings looked tired. On the bright side, the interior design was interesting, and the room had air conditioning, making it somewhat comfortable.
