The room was comfortable and everything worked. The shower deserves a special mention as it was great! There was really nothing to see in terms of views. The city facing room looked out onto a busy street bar. 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.

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!

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.

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!!!!

Lovely staff / great location

Great Boutique hotel - Super friendly lovely staff / excellent location, comfortable bed. A great Bar right next to the hotel. Can be noisy but that didn’t bother us and the windows are double / tripple glas and you don’t hear much if they are closed. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
