Chic and Basic Colors Review
Primarily but not exclusively catering to gay travelers, this is the perfect place for those who love playful design but don't plan on spending too much time in their rooms. Based on the concept of color therapy, each room is decorated in a specific color with integrated bathrooms; you can play with the intensity of light to suit your mood. The yellow, red, and orange rooms have balconies and face the street. Get more space with the double superior room for a little extra. The rectangular black table at the entrance serves as a meeting and breakfast room. In late 2008, Chic and Basic began offering five apartments above the hotel. Tastefully decorated and reasonably priced, two of them fit up to four people, and the remaining two are catered to couples. Reserve rooms and apartments in advance.
