Lock in a great price for Chic & Basic Zoo – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

From the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome and any issues I had were addressed promptly. I will be returning.

Gary, United Kingdom

Waiter at chic and basic born was amazing with our baby. All staff were really great and so so helpful! Nice to have free tea, coffee and water!

Ashlee, United Kingdom

The room was lovely! The hotel was so cool and quirky. Great value for money. Close enough to the beach and Main Street but not too close that you could hear noise all hours of the night - great night sleep. There is area that you can grab free bottles of waters, snacks and makes good coffee. If I go back I would most likely book here again.

Samantha, United Kingdom

Great place, fantastic stuff on reception, tasty unlimited cookies and fresh bottled water!!! This is a perfect place to stay in Barcelona.

Oleksii, Netherlands

Free Coffee & Water was a great touch. No frills, clean and well equipped room at an excellent price

Daniel, Australia

We stayed here with our 2 year old. The room was spacious and clean and very comfortable. The staff were lovely very friendly. Great having the free tea coffee and water available and really nice touch. Would definitely recommend here and would stay here again.

Hannah, United Kingdom

The staff were extremely helpful and anything we asked for was delt with imediately. We were here for a wedding and stayed a few extra days as we had just been married ourselves. My wife had informed the hotel of this and when we arrived there was a personalised welcome letter and a bottle of cava. Totally unexpected!! 😄 The room was cleaned and beds made everyday and we had a lovely little balcony. You could not find a better location for exploring the el born district. We will definitely go back.

Wayne, Ireland

Staff were great, location was fantastic, we had an apartment on Princesa St and it was just fabulous. I was there for 11 days and it was perfect, better than a hotel room when staying for so long. I have to say again the staff were great, as was the location. The road is part closed to traffic so it wasn't noisy, just a few happy people out on the town intermittently in the small hours and some lorry noises picking up the garbage at 7am. But that was no problem either as there were two bedrooms so I just moved into the second one away from the street. The apartment was lovely and spacious.

Alex, United Kingdom

The staff were super helpful and really friendly, the room was kept immaculately and we found our stay very enjoyable- great location! Thanks

Charlotte, United Kingdom

Service was lovely Close attractions for walking distance Very helpful staff Great value for money

Tessa, United Kingdom

Stay in the Heart of Barcelona – Excellent location – show map

This property is a 13-minute walk from the beach. 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 shopping, food and culture.

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

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9 for a two-person trip.

This property is also rated for the best value in Barcelona! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

눉The balcony was dirty. We found TWO FAT cockroaches in the bathroom, disgusting. The reception very difficult to find, there is no indication where to go at the entrance to the hotel. After 10 in the evening the glass door in the hotel is locked and it tricky to know how to get in
눇Location is fantastic. Nice view on the parc from the balcony. The furniture and decoration pleasant and modern

눉When we arrived at the location there was a sign that we needed to check in else where, although this was not stated anywhere when booking. It was only a short walk around the corner to chic and basic born where we checked in and got keys. There was no reception in chic and basic zoo it was all through the born hotel. The room was tiny but it served it purpose! We weren't looking for anything fancy just a spot to sleep. Although there was no view in our room, we had a small window that was surrounded by buildings. This was very disappointing and I would like to have known this prior to booking.
눇The location I thought was brilliant. It was right beside a lovely park and the arc d'triomf. It was short walk away from las ramblas, there was some lovely restaurants on these back streets. I prefer to stay a little off the beaten track and this was perfect. The room although small was clean.

눉The bed isn't very comfortable, quite hard. The room is a good size but had two huge wardrobes in it, maybe taking one out and adding a table and chairs or dresser would be better use of the space.
눇The location is great and central. The staff are super friendly and helpful! Free coffee, tea and water.

“Below our standard”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Economy Double Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The room that we got was small and dark with a small window that never discloses if it's day, night, rainy or that the sun is shining. The room is below our standards and not recommended for leisure trips The reception demands payment in advance, something that we never experienced before. But after we got to our room we understood why - so that we cannot regret and look for another hotel. Besides, the key that opens the room is an old system that often fails, so you spend some minutes putting it in and out until the door is unlocked. By aware that homeless people are sleeping next to the hotel entrance.
눇Great location at Born district. In 2 minutes walk you reach the best places to eat , drink and relax. The reception was very friendly and responded very fast to our requests.
