- Great location to the Born district! Funky, clean, simple hotel...we really enjoyed our stay!
- The location was great for walking around
Cons -
- The wifi in the room was not good and the pictures made the room seem better than it really was
- Somebody was robbed just outside while we were eating breakfast. Not at night, during the morning. I read other commentators saying the area was suspect. They were not lying.

Its OK for the price, not outstanding but OK. The common areas were nice and everyone was helpful.

Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel was small and had an interesting style but was clean and comfortable. Great location near many shops, restaurants and good walking sidewalks to other attractions. Enjoyed our stay!

We loved the very funky design elements os Born Chic and Basic. Great attention to classy detail both in the rooms, the reception and in the lounge on the first floor
Clean, safe and good location
Walls are a bit thin so you can hear everything in the hallway as well as upstairs neighbors
Staff was friendly and i like the style of the room. Location was perfect.
Lovely staff, great location and amenities in the room. You dont have to worry if you forget some essentials.
Location, cleanliness, unusual design of the room, cosy breakfast area
Soundproofing needs to be looked at
The quirky lights.Breakfasts were good.Rooms nice and bright.
Could have done with somewhere to sit in the room as only the bed.
The room. Is very big and beds very comfprtable. The decor was very chic .wink wink. We got the breakfast at the hotel twice and it was very good the reception is not i. The hotel itself but a few meters further so be aware.
The fact that the bathroom was integrated with the room without a door is not something I like. Also steps down from the bedroom. We have a situation with the room where water drop rain was entering but thy changed us to another one. Also the elevator does not go to the entrepiso whereour room was.
It was housed in an old redone mansion or palace. Rooms were very large and very clean. Breakfasts were available in the reception area and coffee was fabulous. The price was right for one night stay and the El Born/Gothic neighborhood was charming with excellent restaurant. I highly recommend.
There was nothing I did not like about this beautifully redone property.
The location is great and very walkable to most things.the room was spacious with a lovely balcony. Very quiet. Staff most helpful with every need.
It has a very nice reading place complimentary coffee tea and biscuits. Nice gym
Location is excellent, really good value for money, clean and the staff are lovely
The beads draping from the ceiling outside every door and the balconies are accessible for other rooms x bit too open
I loved my stay at the hotel, the receptionists are very friendly, the breakfast is great, the location is very good, you can do many things on foot, the room was very clean and airy, I loved it... I recommend it 100%.
Very unique hotel with a separate street entrance for rooms next to reception. My room was huge with 2 balconies where I could look over the Born area. Overall enjoyed my stay here and would recommend.
Minor point about the cleanliness of the room. I found hairs on the floor.
Comfortable beds and central location
Poor rooms very cramped when breakfast service was full..
Its location and comfort of the room
The breakfast was extremely disappointing. We were informed the day after we arrived that due to a technical issue they were unable to serve breakfast as normal, instead we were given a box which included a sandwich, pastries, yogurt & a bottle of warm orange juice. We were there 4 nights & were provided with exactly the same box each breakfast.
