What guests think

Across these reviews of chic&basic Gravity, travelers highlight its central, walkable location, very friendly and helpful staff, clean modern rooms with strong showers and comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches like smooth check-ins, helpful local tips, and occasional upgrades.

Several mention late-night street noise, though many rooms are well soundproofed when windows are closed.

Breakfast is widely liked, but a few note weak machine coffee or occasional repetition, and some rooms have dim lighting or limited storage.

Was greeting by a lovely team at reception who were very helpful. Room was a good size, balcony was nice. The shower did smell a little odd but after a quick rinse it was all good. The outdoor ‘pool’ was really cool and perfect to enjoy happy hour sitting around. Excellent position to walk Porto.

Perfect hotel in a nice environment at Porto’s old town. Cool design and funny details like the vertical pool in the small garden. Nice rooms, young and friendly staff, good breakfast so overall a very nice hotel which I can recommend 100%! Will come again and stay there next year in April on my next business trip to Porto!

This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Porto, and an easy walking distance to all the major sights. Check-in was a breeze, the staff were incredibly accommodating, and the room was spotless and exactly as described. Valentina’s, the hotel restaurant, serves fantastic pasta and has some of the friendliest servers I met on the trip. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porto.

Ótima localização para visitar atrações a pé e com ótimos restaurantes na redondeza. Estacionamento muito bom, porém pequeno, melhor entrar em contato com o hotel antes para tentar reservar uma vaga. Eu tentei via chat e não consegui uma resposta, tive que deixar o carro uma noite num estacionamento próximo e no outro dia conseguiram uma vaga. O estacionamento tem um custo de 20 euros a diária. O café da manhã é bem completo e nos atendeu super bem. O quarto é muito confortável, com roupas de cama e banho de qualidade. A ducha do chuveiro é excelente!

Best part of the experience - staff members. From the moment we walked in we felt like we are among family members. Very accommodating, very friendly, very helpful. Good location, unusual style, comfortable beds. The only disappointing part was the swimming pool (or the lack of it). We looked for a hotel in Porto specifically WITH the pool. It states on the website that it has a pool but in fact it doesn't..... Otherwise, very pleasant stay!!!!! Thank you Manuel for great history lessons!!!!

The location was perfect, lots of restaurants and beautiful things to see in the area but the room was always quiet and staff always friendly. The hotel had a unique theme and charm which added whimsy. The breakfast was a little disappointing as it was the same thing every day and often they were out of some of the main/hot dishes. I was never told where to sit but twice was told to move after I had already sat down but wasn’t helped in moving my plates and cups. Otherwise my stay was wonderful. I felt safe and the hotel was very clean!

Despite being opposite one of Porto’s noisiest late-night spots, the rooms in this bright, modern, chic, affordable hotel are almost soundproof, and you’ll never hear a thing. Walkable to everywhere in this walking-friendly city. The breakfast buffet is ample, elegant, and affordable. And the staff might be the friendliest, most informative, and most accommodating of any hotel in which I’ve stayed. A bit pricey, but totally worth it. Highly recommend.

Stayed here for 4 nights on a city break. Hotel processed our check in despite us arriving very early and stored our luggage. They gave us such a good overview of the city using a map. They also called us once our room was ready, which was earlier than official check in. We really appreciated this. The overall hotel is super stylish and in great condition. The staff are all friendly. The location is great. The street outside gets very busy at night with the bars spilling onto streets. There are people offering narcotics immediately outside the hotel because of the crowds. But we always felt safe. And none of the noise impacted our stay. We stayed in a suite with terrace. And the room is my only negative thing about this hotel. It was wonderfully spacious but lacking in useful and functional considerations. No drawers to unpack into, small hanging space only. Bedside tables were tiny metal shelves, with one of them losing half its usable space to the phone. There was no where the two of us could sit together in the room to have a coffee. One desk chair. One comfy chair. No table. But so much space to have had these. Bathroom had a double sink which meant no usable space to put your items. Lighting in the shower was dull. 1 bottle of water per day only. Just really not the luxury stay it describes itself as.

There was some noise but keep the windows shut and air con on and all is good We had such great service from the team at Chic and Basic Gravity. Nuno in particular gave us good advice and helped make our stay really fun.

Upon arrival, was underwhelmed by the staff…not very friendly or welcoming. When we saw our room which was a “garden view” I was shocked to see what looked like a war zone…there was no garden view to be seen. Called the reception three times yet phone kept disconnecting every time they answered. Finally someone came up to our room to ask if everything was ok, I shared my disappointment and was told they agreed with the lack of view and would try to find a different room. We were moved to the first floor which was no better but were promised a better room the next night. Needless to say, we did not sleep in what felt like a dungeon room but were moved to the fourth floor for night number two. This room was better but were surprised that no one asked us about our room etc. We asked for directions to the port and the staff were not exactly warm or helpful. The room smelled musty, especially the bathroom! On our final night, we called down to the reception to ask if they had a scale to weigh luggage and were told they would call back to let us know. No one called back! When we checked out this morning, we were asked to pay for the city tax and that was it…the service and lack of professionalism at this hotel was extremely disappointing!!

The manager Jose is amazing and the staff appear as if they are treated well and are committed to make your stay exceptional. They made me feel at home while abroad. The staff must love what they do because it comes across when they interact with you. I received five star service during my stay. We want to come back! Thank you all at Chic & Basic Gravity!

Chic & basic was awesome. It was in the perfect location. We could stop by the room anytime because it was close to everything we were interested in. The beds were comfy, the breakfast was super convenient with lots of variety, and the internet access was great. We hung out at the bar across the street one night and had a blast and met some new friends. We even met anniversary twins at the bar (we were married the same day and same year). We would definitely stay there again next time we are in Porto!
