The Best Things at Hotels Are Free

December 9, 2008 at 4:00 PM | by jennm | 1 Comment

Sometimes in life, it’s the little things, and it appears that Chic&Basic hotels in Barcelona and Amsterdam truly gets this.

For starters, their toiletries are funny. (Don’t deny that that soap didn’t make you chuckle.) It could be the crappiest soap you’ve ever used—something that smells like feet and dries out your skin—but who cares?! The packaging is so darn basic it’s unavoidably cute.

Second, the Chic&Basic web site is like free porn! Well, kinda. The site features a photo of two chicks lying in bed together, one with her arm suggestively draped over the other and another with two men and one woman in bed together. How chic!

However, you’ll have to click on the Castellano version of the site to see these suggestive photos—apparently people who only read English are too uptight for these sorts of things. Or, if you’re like us, too immature.

    Chic and Basic Barcelona is not your uncles Hostel

    Just a few years ago the word HOSTEL was synonymous with bad lighting,shared bathrooms and a thread count of 15 at best. Thanks to Chic and Basic a new generation of Hostels has been BORN. Someone has been doing their market research and its about time that someone fills the hospitality gap when it comes to stylish digs with a backpackers price. On a rainy afternoon I made my way to the Born for a quick peek at one of the most talked about hostels in barcelona and what I found was the biggest surprise to date.
