to get started.

It is very close to the train station. There was a cloth bag and lollypop on the bed as a gift on the arrival. The decoration is very nice. There is a free safe in the room. The reservation is in the other street but it is very close. They offer free coffee, tea and water during the day.

Great location, staff very friendly at reception and nothing was too much trouble!!! Room was clean and perfect for our 4 night stay!!!

Very cute, comfortable and clean place! Central location and tons of great food around the property.

Rebekah

United States of America

During check-in and check-out the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and there is a cozy cafe in the reception area. My wife and I arrived very early but they were willing to call us as soon as the room was ready (early) and showed us some places to visit during our 2-day stay. The location of the hotel is obviously close to the zoo, but also a very short walk to the Born district (which we thought was very fun) and the Gothic quarter. The rooms were clearly updated/remodeled which was appreciated, as the building is a bit older. The rooms also have your standard hotel amenities, with a nice modern touch. While small, the bathrooms are very clean and the showers and sinks are excellent. Overall, the hotel felt very safe and comfortable.

Very friendly staff. Room was as shown in pictures. Location was ideal: in a safe neighbourhood and close enough (max 10 mins walk) to main metro lines, also close to Barceloneta. Coffee and tea station was a nice touch.

Canada

Great location within short walking distance to the Picasso museum and some nice restaurants. The hotel rooms are supposed to be one star hotel rating, but they were very nice with numerous funny and cool touches throughout. Excellent beds! Small TV on the wall, but I didn't come to Barcelona to watch TV. If it's winter, be ready to drink a lot of free bottled water as the heating in the building will dry you Mojave bone dry. Warm heating system: sort of the European "slightly uncomfortable" warmth level.

Stay in the Heart of Barcelona – This neighborhood is a great choice for travelers interested in old-town exploration, food and atmosphere – Check location

Chic & Basic Zoo is in El Born, now one of the most fashionable and cosmopolitan districts of central Barcelona. On one side is the Gothic Quarter, to the other is Ciutadella Park, and the port is a few minutes away.

From the hotel, guests can easily get to the historic center of the city, the Gothic Quarter (Barrio Gótico) where the cathedral, Santa Maria del Mar, Plaza Sant Jaume and Santa Anna are located.

The hotel is also very close to the zoo, the Ciutadella Park, beaches and the Olympic Port. In the neighborhood guests will also find nightlife, bars, restaurants (the area of El Born is where you´ll find the most typical ‘tapas’) and museums, such as the Picasso Museum.

Ciutat Vella is a great choice for travelers interested in old-town exploration, food and atmosphere.

This is our guests' favorite part of Barcelona, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.

While I'm accustomed to cockroaches in inner city high rises, they should have cleaned up thre dead one in the bathroom. Leave your bags outside in the garage after returning from any inner city old building hotel...
Location was very convenient, we walked to all the city highlights.

There is a window but no drape. The room’s side by side with the smoking area so inside can be easily seen while smoking.

The room is extremely small and dirty, they do not clean it well. Also the room is not in a good shape- bath is broken, doors have to be painted. Reception is in the same building, but nobody is there, so if you want to get to the reception- you have to walk to their other hotel which is on the other street. I expected much better hotel for the money I paid.
Hotel is located in nice place close to the park and metro. Building is old and nice. Personnel is good. Enjoyed free coffee and tea 24 hrs.

“My stay ”

The room we were in was adjacent to the big wooden door you have to use to get in and out the hotel when the automatic doors are locked. We found it difficult to sleep because guests would come in at 3am and the big door would screech and slam. There's a coffee machine in the lounge area but there were no instructions how to open it up to put the coffee in.
The free biscuits in the lounge was a lovely touch. The bed was extremely comfortable, as were the pillows! The bathroom was nice and modern. The animal decor along the halls made it very unique too!
