虛德飯店(Hotel Das Virtudes)

In one word, our stay at Hotel das Virtudes was PERFECTION! We were greeted with an incredibly warm welcome from all the staff and this continued throughout our stay. The attention to detail in both the customer service and food was exceptional. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this hotel as a base for sightseeing in wonderful Porto.

Beautiful modern renovation with features of the original old stone construction left intact and integrated. Great job of marrying the old and new. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. It’s a new hotel and they try very hard and are exceptionally well trained and make you feel so taken care of (even walking down the little cobblestone road to insist on carrying your luggage up to the hotel when the taxis can’t get all the way to the door.

Gorgeous hotel with beautiful finishes that blend elegantly with this one of a kind 16th century UNESCO protected building. Staff are experienced professionals that are dedicated to making your stay perfect. Excellent service all around. Breakfast buffet is unlike any other with many fresh and delicious options that are beautifully presented. Our room had a hidden sitting area and balcony with a lovely view of the neighbourhood. We will definitely come back to this one of a kind, very special property.

Everything about this place was amazing, if I’m ever lucky enough to go back to Porto I will definitely be staying there. The staff was super friendly from the minute we arrived, the bartenders were amazing and incredibly talented. Our room was so cool and so well appointed. For a building that’s been around since the 1600s it was very comfortable and modern in the hotel room. And the breakfast every day could not be beat. You will feel truly spoiled if you stay there.

Possibly the nicest and most comfortable hotel I’ve ever stayed in. From the check in, which took minutes and our bags had already been delivered to our room, from the large room and biggest bed I’ve ever slept in, to the breakfast buffet and cozy bar, I could not imagine a single detail that wasn’t thought of. Glass elevator, rooftop bar, and ideal location. This is the best place in Porto with the best staff.

Wow, what a fabulous hotel. Brilliant location (very central but just tucked away for some peace & quiet), helpful, friendly and efficient staff, beautiful decor and large comfy room, delicious breakfast and stunning roof terrace. Can’t fault it!

Beautiful renovated hotel. Quite new I think. Busy when we were there. Nice rooms. The only fault is the odd drip coffee bags in the rooms that fall into your cup. Just use Nespresso or similar as no one wants to mess about with your current set up.

We ended up switching hotels after our first night in Porto, primarily to get a more spacious room with additional amenities. Hotel das Virtudes turned out to be an excellent choice. We had the room with 2 levels and it was perfect for our needs. Meaning, my wife could get up early and have coffee outside on the terrace while I kept sleeping off the bottle of wine from the night before. But seriously, the rooms are nice, beds are comfortable, and the hotel itself is very beautiful. I enjoyed the rooftop lounge each night before heading to dinner and the breakfast each morning was excellent. While Porto has lots of hills the location of this hotel is great...quiet yet very close to great restaurants and shopping. We ubered to certain places and it was cheap and easy to do so anytime. Note that if you use Uber Black there's only 4 in town so you may wait a bit longer. If you're heading to Porto, definitely consider this place.

What a very special place indeed, a real hidden gem. Enjoyed 4 fabulous nights in this place and will be our hotel of choice for future Porto stays. The rooms are fabulous and breakfasts delicious. Most of all it was the staff that made things extra special. Nothing was too much trouble, I don’t think either of us ever opened a door for ourselves during the entire stay.
