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!

Disliked: Amenities
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.

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.

Very convenient location. Excellent for a short stay. If staying for longer than a night I would recommend going for a larger room, as the single and cheapest rooms are quite small. Very tidy and clean, but small.
