Guest Reviews

• Tero (8/5): - Siisti ja mutkaton hotelli. Suosittelen
• Niharika (10/5): - Well located, clean rooms and cute decor. Staff was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend this hotel!
• Josée (8/5): - L'emplacement
• Joseph (10/5): - We were able to easily check in early in the am at their main hotel around the corner and store our bags for the day. This allowed us to easily walk the city before our rooms were ready. The person at the check in desk was very friendly and helpful
• Juan (10/5): - Great location
• Grace (10/5): - The bed was comfy, the location was great for wandering the city, the common area was clean and provided free coffee and water. The rooms were clean, check in was easy, and we felt safe as two young travelers. I would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet place to stay in Barcelona. Not sure if it’s centrally located to clubbing because we did not go, but for restaurants and public transportation, it was great!!
• Cassandra (10/5): - Great little place for a quick stay in Barcelona! The terrace was a great escape from the busyness of the streets and we really appreciated the water and coffee that was included. Beds & pillows are very comfortable and we felt safe in this hotel. Would recommend and stay again!
• Lisa (10/5): - This boutique hotel was perfect for us! We paid a little bit more and got a room with a balcony. Our view and the fresh air was wonderful. Location was right next to public transit. Chic & Basic Lemon does not have 24 hour service, but the front desk attendant from 10a-8p worked well for us. The lobby and back garden/patio were a great place to hang out. We did not expect a daily bed cleaning service. That was a bonus and much appreciated after busy days in Barcelona.
• joanne (8/5): - This hotel was good and in a great location. Close to all the restaurants, shopping. Everything worked fine in the room.
• Yaling (8/5): - It was great location.
• julio (4/5): - The hotel itself is not bad, but it needs repairs. The bathroom in our room has broken straps, and lacks maintenance. The hotel entrance mat is broken, the elevators are very battered, and lacks maintenance is something that is worrying. The key to our room stopped working, and we almost slept in the lobby because we had no one to call. In short, they need to review maintenance and coordination aspects.
• Cheryl (4/5): - Room falling apart. Rotten wood in bathroom.
• Yvonne (8/5): - Nice hotel, veryclean and modern. Room was quite small, and would have been better with queen bed instead of king
• Christopher (6/5): - Free resupply of water and coffee and snacks.
• Miguel (2/5): - Bad place Dirty, ugly
• Nadia (8/5): Great location - The hotel has a great location, it is very close to anything. The stuff is very friendly. We loved to sit on the outside patio that they have. The room is okay. But there is no air in it. Being there in April worked fine. I can't imagine to be there in summer. And it would be nice to have a little refrigerator in the room. The room was clean and they provide room service.
• Adriana (10/5): - Localização excelente, hotel muito bom. Gostamos muito.
• Jon (10/5): Great find in city - Awesome stay. Great value hotel close to a metro station and walking distance to major sites of interest. Easy check in. I arrived early (midday) and was pleasantly surprised my room was ready. Nice amenities and shared space. Minor criticism was that shower was so powerful it made the floor wet. I would return!
• paschoal jose (8/5): - Gostamos muito do hotel, dos funcionarios, o hotel tem uma area comum onde se serve agua , cafe, cha, bolachas , balas , marshmallows gratuitamente. A unica reclamacao é com relacao à internet que nao funciona nos quartos( wifi) e o banheiro que tem um cheiro MUITO FORTE DE ESGOTO.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Wasnt crazy about after hours check in process - Id rate this between 4 & 3 stars if i could. My biggest disslike was check in process. And maybe its an american thing....? But it made me feel uneasy. If you check in after their lobby hours.... they leave your room key in a sealed envelope (labeled with your name) thats inside of a box (that anyone was able to open) on the lobby counter. that just made me feel uncomfortable knowing somebody potentially had access to my room. Any guest couldve literally grabbed my key and done who knows what to my room. Again.... maybe thats just an american thing but ive never heard of this process in the states. Despite that, i had no issues with the actual room. Was in a great location. I walked to many destinations that were closer than i thought. The area itself isnt the best. But you get what you pay for. There are homeless folk outside sleeping on the sidewalks. But they dont bug you which was nice. I wasnt bothered/approached once by a homeless person. So if you can arrive at this hotel during regular lobby hours thats better. If not, your check in process will be like the above. I wouldnt mind coming back but would try to arrive earlier.
• Aslihan (8/5): - Het was een hele fijne accommodatie, we hebben er erg van genoten!
• Raybel (8/5): - Muy bien ubicado, bastante descuidado el hotel en varios aspectos
• Dalia (10/5): - Everything
• FERNANDO RICARDO (10/5): Excelente!!!! - Excelente, super bem localizado e limpeza nota 10.
• JULISSA (8/5): - Perfect location and customer service from Judith/Front Desk awesome.
• Dave (6/5): - The bathroom door stuck due to the water coming out of the shower and buckling the floor.
• Amir (8/5): - Location is excellent in downtown, within walking distance of Placa de Catalunya square where you can take a bus to and from the airport. Most other Barcelona attractions are also within walking distance. But the hotel is minimal with front desk staff only available from 10:00 to 18:00 and if you arrive late and going to stay one night even when you have paid for your room, they force you to go to their sister hotel, pay the city tax and get your keys there. This is okay as long as you don't carry a lot of luggage.
• Wayne (8/5): Great location - Very convenient location for public transit & restaurants. Staff were friendly & helpful. Only issue is limited hours of front desk.
• Michelle R. (10/5): - Lovely hotel. Near Barcelona university so a little noisy but room was nice and clean. Staff was wonderful. Metro was across the street and it was also very clean. Took metro to the farther away tours but walked to all the rest. Would stay there again next time in Barcelona
• Ronaldo C (10/5): - Fiquei apenas uma noite mas gostei muito da localização do hotel e o staf foi muito receptivo. Ficarei neste hotel na próxima vez que eu voltar a Barcelona.
• won (8/5): - ⚪︎2泊しました。スタッフがとても優しく助かりました。安心して相談することができました。 ⚪︎当初、ホテルに入るのが難しく、パスワードを入れてはいりました。慣れてないと難しかったです。 ⚪︎フリーコーヒーは部屋になく1階ラウンジまでいって飲めます。 ⚪︎浴室にバスタブがあったのでゆっくりできました。 ⚪︎お部屋は清潔で気持ちよく過ごせました。 ⚪︎空港からバスで広場まで行きましたが、一つ手前で降りた方が近かったかな。 ⚪︎ホテルの周りは賑やかでショッピングも楽しめましたし、ピカソ美術館あたりまでも歩けます。地下鉄の駅も目の前でした。
• Jonathan (8/5): Amazing location - Had check in instructions emailed to me. However key was not where it wss supposed to be upon arrival. No sign at reception giving instructions. I eventually found a number to call had to go to hotel around the block to get key.
• Maricar (10/5): - Clean and quite
• Pier-Paolo (4/5): - No chic & basic Très bruyant. Mal isolé Pas d’option restauration
• Gabriela (10/5): - Great location, easy transportation to and from the airport. Room is clean, quiet, and spacious.
• Robert (8/5): - The hotel was what one would expect of a travellers hotel and as the name implies; basic. That said it worked for our needs and had great transportation and access to La Rambla. The hotel has rooms facing street and rear and if noise is a problem ask for a room in the rear.
• Maria (4/5): Bra läge nära till kommunikation etc. - Good location and friendly staff. We experienced no disturbing noise. The hotel has a lounge with self-service coffee and tea. The room had a window but to no purpose as it faced a dark elevator shaft. Unfortunately, the ceiling fan was so dirty that we didn't dare to use it, and the AC grilles were also very dirty. The bathroom was worn and not too clean. But otherwise it was okay.
• inessa (10/5): - Homeless people are right next door. I guess it’s just everywhere that you go know days
• Fabio (8/5): - Camera e bagno puliti e abbastanza insonorizzati, personale molto gentile e disponibile. Deposito bagagli ok. Bellissima veranda e spazio comune con bevande e biscotti!! Posizione comoda: davanti c'è la metro e qualche passo in più i bus. 5 minuti a piedi da Plaça de Catalunya.
• Santina (10/5): - great clean hotel in central city. i arrived as a late checkin, so got door codes and room key instructions well in advance. the old town is aprox 15min walk. plenty of tapas etc withing walking distance
• Ruben (6/5): Not very clean and many things broken or roundout - State of the forniture, doors, and toilet very deficient. In need of an urgent refit. The room it was not very clean
• Heather (10/5): - Friendly staff. Allowed us to check in early. Large rooms and bathrooms. Very close to Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter. Would stay again.
• Yongseok (6/5): - Wonderful location. The front desk person was very friendly and helpful, but on site between 10am and 6pm only. Appreciated the free coffee and biscuits. Beautiful common area. My bathroom was not well maintained. The moldy shower curtain should be replaced. It made me cringe every time I entered the bathroom. I am not sure I will return to this property despite the central location, unless my preferred options are all sold out (which is what happened this time)
• Verified traveler (8/5): Simple and efficient - Surprisingly good quality for the price and location.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Near to metro station - - Near to metro station
• Lisa (8/5): Excellent Barcelona Property on a Budget - Excellent location, super property. Bright, Mediterranean design. The owners have done an incredible job making a “basic” property with unique amenities ( lounge area inside & out, coffee station, patio). The bathrooms do need a remodel though, but I’m sure that will come soon. I would definitely stay hear again. Often times when you aren’t staying in full service properties it is a challengebevstse there isn’t a hotel staff always around for check in. The Lemon staff was excellent in communications with me.
• aldine (10/5): - The staff was excellent! Location great! The whole atmosphere was terrific! Highly recommend this accommodations!
• Gabrielle (8/5): - L’emplacement est super!
• Donna (10/5): - Very clean, very quiet although in a bustling part of town. Coffee, tea, cold and/or sparkling water always available in lobby which was a nice touch. Lobby and outside sitting area very cute.
• Inka (8/5): - eigentlich stylish, bißchen abgewohnt, toll dass jederzeit Kaffee,Tee und Wasser kostenlos zur Verfügung standen Warum unser Müll nicht täglich ebtsiegt wurde
• Bruce (10/5): - small bottle of wine; shared microwave, shared coffee pot, shared refrigerator, free drinking water, pleasant and friendly staff; very convenient location for metro (subway); convenient location for sites..........elevator gets congested sometimes
• Suman (10/5): - Lovely hotel great location with good bus and train links. Several food options locally and a short walk from the main tourists spots! Staff were very nice and it was nice they kept our luggage on the last day so we could explore. Water and hot drinks provided which was great!
• Gerald (10/5): - The only issue we had was the lock to our balcony was broke so I had to stick the hanging rod from the closet in the back of the door to ensure our safety
• Philip (10/5): - Property is exactly as described. Very clean, helpful reception staff and great location.
• Minoli (8/5): - Convenient location
• NOBUKO (10/5): - 観光のための立地がよい。 空港へのアクセスもよい。
• Karen (10/5): - Desk girl was very nice, helpful and able to help us with our needs.
• Yizza (10/5): - Awesome little hotel, it had everything we needed and I’m front of the metro.
• Imogen (10/5): - Brilliant location. Really loved the outdoor space too.
• Sherley (10/5): - Excelente ubicación y muy bonito.
• JOSEPH (10/5): - This was a wonderful stay, close to everything. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and modern. Would definitely stay again.
• Lorraine (10/5): - Their service was amazing. They allowed us to store our luggage with them before and after check in/out. The front desk staff were all amazing. They were so accomodating and even emailed me immediately to let me know that they had found my jacket that I left behind with our passports in them. The property is close to everything. We walked mostly everywhere,and if we chose to use public tranportation, it was all just a few steps out the front door of the property. We would definitely stay here again!
• Margaret (10/5): - Simple and comfortable.
• Boongie (8/5): - Good location next to metro station, plaza catalonia. Very chic design with nice living, dining and roof terrace area. Was hoping room got better view.
• Dawn (8/5): - Nice room - quiet with effective air conditioning and a fan. What’s great about this hotel is that tea, coffee and water is available anytime and whilst no breakfast is available the facilities are there for you to eat your bought breakfast. The terrace and refreshments area are also very nice. Good very central location.
• LIZBET (8/5): - Cama cómoda, habitación amplia y limpia, faltan algunas renovaciones en los pasillos de las habitaciones, área de descanso agradable y claro amable recepcionista.
• Stephanie (10/5): - This was a great simple hotel 1/2 block from the University Plaça. The only issue is that the front desk is only open during the day so if you have early morning or evening questions about buses or tours there is no one to talk to. No breakfast included but they have a nice self serve area with coffee maker and tea, microwave and an outdoor patio
• Anisha (10/5): - Great hotel, has everything you need, a great terrace and the staff are very helpful. Even though basic is in the name it definitely does not feel like that!
• Michael (4/5): - Arrived at 6pm to an empty hotel with no staff so unable to check in. No notice or anything about what to do so had to find an emergency number where I was told I had to go to a different hotel to check in. Not ideal. Also could’ve been cleaner in the bathrooms. Probably wouldn’t stay again.
• Marc-Andre (10/5): - excellent common area with tea, coffee, and an outside deck.
• Ricardo (8/5): - Practical location to explore all city sights
• alicia (10/5): - The staff is awesome!
• Kelly (6/5): - Location is perfect, hotel is ok. Floor and doors were broken and falling apart, room smelled like a locker-room, but staff was very helpful and friendly. Seems very very expensive, but the location in the center of town is hard to beat.
• AAMANA (8/5): - Beautiful property and friendly staff, just needs a little touch up on chipped paint/wood. It would be nice if there was 24X7 concierge.
• Josephine (8/5): - Very clean
• Sharonlin (6/5): - This hotel had a good location next to metro and near the happening parts of Barcelona. The room was a little sparse. Could use some homeliness. Could refill water at each cleaning. The bed was uncomfortable.
• Victoria (6/5): - The property was fine. It gave off a hostel vibe. My only concern was there was no one working the desk at night. I checked in around 8 pm and checked out by 5am and didn't see a single soul. I would have felt much safer if they had at least 1 person working the night shift. Other than that it was a nice small room. Clean and AC worked well
• Alfredo (10/5): - Everything was great!
• Anne (8/5): - Great location, lovely patio area off the lobby.
• Mario (10/5): - Great place to stay in Barcelona!
• Todd (6/5): - The location was good with nearby access to the metro and most tourist destinations.
• Indira (10/5): - muy bueno
• Nga Man (6/5): - The partitions of the rooms are very thin, therefore you can hear clearly the voices of closing doors, showing, chattering of your neighbours. Moreover, the room is stuffy, I can’t imagine living there in summertime.
• Heidi Hyunji (6/5): - I think the only thing good about the property was its location its at a central area where metro is right in front of you and many buse stations as well. There is about 8hr front desk service per day, NOT 24hour. My room had a window that opened ontk a elevator shaft, so yiu can see the elevator going up and down from the side... no ventilation system in the room so when you shower, everything in the room gets soggy.
• Giselle (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay. Great location.
• Nancy M. (8/5): - Very nice location Clean and safe
• Marcia (6/5): - The hotel was very good, clean and the staff was friendly. However, there was no staff available at the hotel at night. On one of the nights of our stay, the fire alarm went off and no staff showed up to help. The guests had to call the firefighters and solve it by themselves. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Anyway, we were concerned for the rest of our stay due to the lack of support from the administration on this issue.
• Julieta (6/5): - Want to give it a good review but I can’t Not worth it. You can hear EVERYTHING from rooms next door (literally everything from TV, toilet flushing, voices/speaking). Another thing is bathrooms NEED improvement renovations ASAP. I didn’t feel safe while trying to sleep - next door guest always tried to enter my room. There is no staff in this hotel past 6 pm - literally not a soul and that to me feels unsafe but I do understand the type of “minimalistic and little” boutique accommodation this is. I like the place. It could be a good place to stay if only these things were attended to or fixed. It is nice and clean and location is wonderful. The whole floors moved because of partner banging next door! Just to give you an idea of how THIN the building structure is. I’m sure next door guests weren’t shouting or watching TV really loud…. Yet I heard it like it was inside my room. Awful experience if you wish to have a good nights rest
• Mariana (10/5): - Wonderful rooms and a great location. Right off major train and bus lines. Less than 10min from the market. Staff was super nice! For us the noise from the street was no problem, but we are from a big city.
