Good central location, check in at the hotel around the corner was easy and we could store our luggage when we arrived early until our room was ready. The coffee and water station was a lovely touch and very welcome. Powerful shower. Clean bedding.

The room was tiny and the shower was hard to manuever in because of its size but the water pressure was exceptional and the room clean. My tv wasn't working. Not sure if it was the actual tv or remote. There are plenty of shopping options but not for tourist. I had to go to the party area for a barcelona tshirt. Plenty of restaurants and sight-seeing in the area. Plus the train station was only 2 blocks away.

Great stay at the Chic&Basic Zoo! We really appreciated the powerful A/C, helpful staff who let us check in early and stow our bags before check in and after check out. It was very quiet, and close to lots of restaurants and shops. It was a solid 20 minute walk to most things but very close to a train station, main bus routes, and the parc which we enjoyed!

Comfy beds, really good location, only negative is there’s no mini fridge in the rooms which would’ve been handy for keeping cold water but other than that overall good experience.

Friendly and accommodating staff, excellent location. We will certainly return. We used, due to our needs and circumstances, three different rooms. They vary in sizes, appearance and location. Of the three rooms, the one with a balcony overlooking the street and the park was the most comfortable.

The addition to the hotel in an apartment building with a different address, no reception, and a staff that was not available to help with luggage to go and check in, was a bad experience for a guest tired from travelling. The room did not have one English channel on TV, although tourists occupy it.! High bathtub to take a showera bit dangerous to get in and out
