Chic & Basic Born Boutique Hotel

Mkt bra läge, smidigt att ta sig både runt i stabbigt till och från flygplatsen! Rekommenderas starkt!

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

nice staff, cool area around- a lot of dining options. cozy hotel in general, could be more clean and renovated.
