What guests think

Across recent stays at Chic & Basic Velvet, travelers consistently praise the friendly, helpful front desk and the convenient location near Sants, Plaça Espanya and metro links, with many finding the property safe and walkable for sightseeing and transport.

Rooms are frequently described as small with thin walls and some dated elements or awkward bathtubs/showers, though a few guests received larger, comfortable spaces. Cleanliness is generally noted as good, but several reviews mention issues such as mildew, damp odors, or missed details like a dirty shower head and floors needing more thorough mopping. Guests like the roof terraces and free coffee or honor bar, while breakfast feedback ranges from good to underwhelming. Overall, expect a friendly, well-located base with modest rooms and occasional maintenance quirks.

It was nice to stay at the Chic and basic velvet hotel, staff is very friendly, kitchen area has a lot of options and the hotel is in a very nice area. Only gap that’s why I gave 4 stars is the air conditioning in my room, it was an old and outdated system and there was no extraction fan in the bathroom. All the rest was great

While staff and hotel vibe/concept were on point, the facilities are not new and need a bit pick me up. Room floors need to be mopped throughly and bathroom has mold and mildew that needs to be removed. I’ll recommend to have a pocket door in the restroom for easier access. The layout of room 501 is awkward and does not leave room to open suitcases. Bed was uncomfortable. Honesty bar concept is cute, solarium is nice, bar/dining area is welcoming.

This was our first time in Barcelona and the first hotel we stayed in so I can’t compare it to other hotels. It is nice though and the staffs are friendly. The only thing I don’t like but not a big deal is that I find the lighting too dark specially in the hallway. Again, it’s just me and other people may prefer that.The area is safe.

The hotel is really cute and you even get some free beverages in your room upon arrival. There are 2 large terrasses and a small yoga/workout space. The only thing I could complain slightly about was breakfast. It was not up to par with what you would expect from a Spanish hotel. Eggs were dry, bacon was not crispy and the juice jugs were not filled to the top (looks like they just took them out from the day before). Overall, this is a very nice place to stay and we'll be back but next time we might have breakfast in one of the local cafes.

I would not recommend this hotel for many reasons. It’s very loud, you can hear everything that everyone was doing. Maid service, hotel guest entering and leaving their rooms, toilets flushing and showers running. We were located on the first floor and it smelled like a wet and dirty basement. The sheets felt damp, your clothes would feel damp. It was impossible to feel clean. It was not worth the price at all. Very disappointed. Don’t let the name fool you, she is basic but not chic.
