After a horrid airport experience, Elena, the Receptionist, recognized our stress. She asked if she could find a ready room, would we like to go directly rather than wait until our specific room was ready at 3P. It was 9:30A. In the meantime, have a free coffee during the approximate 15 minute wait. That kindness and personalized greeting was appreciated. The Chic and Basic Born is in an historic quiet spot. It was the port in the 1400’s. The boutique hotel was a former school, therefore the rooms after substantial, thick walled, unique and comfortable. We could see the Museo de Xocolata from the bathroom window … I wish i could take the Moka home. Walking was safe. Restaurants numerous. 6 minutes walk to the Zoo, right on the Ciutadella park. A beautiful walk. Not a lot of tourists, very few tourist traps .. a real neighborhood. Breakfast at C&B was substantial but more European than American. No pancakes, but croissants. A variety of breads, cheeses, hot scrambled eggs and crisp bacon or cold hard cooked eggs and a variety of cold cuts soprasetto, hams, yogurt and granola or a cold cereal sliced and whole fresh fruits. I would be remiss if I did not mention my husband’s favorite item, Cafe latte prepared daily and perfectly by Franca. Hope he remembers because I won’t do as well! We will look for other Cic and Basics

Barcelona was a little more expensive that expected. The street this is on gets noisy at night and they have earplugs available. Convenient to walk around el born and old part of the city. However… we stayed at the beginning and end of the trip. The first room was fine, was the Double plus balcony. Second time same format of a room and the shower was in the middle of the room with no opaque glass or full curtain. The toilet was it a closet. Very odd. Also the design is quirky — neon lights in the room and ropes that you have to push through to enter the room.

The location, breakfast buffet and surrounding restaurants were good. It’s a unique hotel with a different vibe. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The only con was the A/C in our room didn’t work well and couldn’t be adjusted, so we didn’t get much relief from the heat.

The A/C didn’t work in the first room we were in and the shower didn’t drain. After we informed the reception of the issue, they moved us to another room.
