We loved the balcony overlooking the interesting night scene below! The location was not central but was close to Picasso Museum and trendy restaurants in an emerging part of town. A bit of a funky decor but they had a great room on every floor with Nespresso machine and pods and free cold water to fill bottles.

This design hotel is in Barcelona’s trendy Born district, 820 feet from the Picasso Museum. It features a gym, 24-hour reception, and air-conditioned rooms with colorful LED lighting and flat-screen TVs. Free coffee, tea and water are offered in a self-service area in the Chic & Basic Born. The hotel also has a lounge with free Wi-Fi and comfortable designer armchairs. The Modernist-style building has high ceilings, large windows and marble staircases. It is within 328 feet of Ciudadela Park and Barcelona’s Chocolate Museum. La Rambla is a 10-minute walk away. Rooms at the Chic & Basic Born Boutique Hotel feature a glass shower cubicle in the center of the room. There is also a hairdryer, slippers and bathroom amenities. Breakfast is served in the Chic & Basic’s modern snack bar, where you can also enjoy a cocktail. It is open 7 days a week from 08:00 until midnight.
This is our guests' favorite part of Barcelona, according to independent reviews.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.
