This hotel may not be 5 stars however their service is beyond five stars. The staff are very attentive, professional and friendly. They will go above and beyond to make sure your stay is the best. 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!

Great service, great location, just great!

We needed a hotel with parking for a single night stay in Porto and stumbled on Chic through the hotels.com. We were hoping for a quiet room and the staff was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. We loved the modern decor and the room was exceptionally quiet despite the hotel being full on a Friday night. The location was also perfect for us—within walking distance of any number of good restaurants and tourist sites. We like the Chic & Basic Gravity so much, that when we needed a hotel the night before our flight, we decided to book there instead of staying at a hotel near the airport.

The staff were all very friendly and chatty and more than willing to help. They even gave us a free upgrade upon arrival. It’s great that the hotel put out free cake, tea and coffee for guests for an hour each day. We also loved the happy hour each day! Valentina’s restaurant onsite was also very nice. Overall a beautiful hotel in a great location. I would definitely recommend it!

Great power shower and fab super large bath towels, and lush bathroom toiletries.

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!!

Great location for weekend break.

Funky hotel in great area, away from really touristy part but close enough to walk to everything. We saw this hotel recommended on a travel blog and it was definitely a good recommendation. We arrived early and a room was ready but the guy who welcomed us advised us to wait for the room we had been allocated as it was better. He asked for a priority check in and saud they would call if this was possible. We freshened up and headed out for the day. Early check in didnt happen but it was no issue as we had plans for the day. Room was great, a little warm when we arrived as curtains were open and a/c was not turned on so it took us a while to cool the room down as it was a very hot day. Nice balcony overlooking the pool garden which was.a really unique feature. Grest shower which didnt steam the whole room up which is always a bonus! We were staying 3 nights so space was fine but if it was part of a longer trip and we had more luggage it would have been a little tricky for hanging space in particular. Lovely big bed, very comfortable and very large towels which we love. Staff were all great, really helpful, offering information etc. Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice, all very good quality and really nicely presented with regular replenishment. Hot options were more limited but still really nice and high standard for buffet breakfast.

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!

The hotel was unusual and we were not crazy about bathroom and shower in the open. Hand wash basin was so tiny that both hands could barely fit and of course water splattered all over. Perhaps our regular room would’ve been better than the upgrade as we heard that not all rooms were the same. The customer service at the front desk was excellent though. One mishap was that housekeeping removed the hairdryer when cleaning.

This hotel took us by surprise. The standard of this hotel is very comparable to elite chain hotels. The room was very clean and equipped with all amenities. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. It is also located within a walking distance from the town's main attractions. The staff at thew front desk was very welcoming and even offered us a free drink. We highly recommend the Chic & Basic Gravity hotel.
