Hotel Das Virtudes is a stylish, modern hotel with comfortable rooms, extremely courteous and helpful staff and a great restaurant which served wonderful breakfast. There is lovely rooftop bar that serves casual food and an upscale restaurant downstairs (where breakfast is served in the mornings). It is great value for money considering the caliber of the accommodation and the service. The only downside (which we knew about from reviews and chose to ignore) is that it is located down a narrow alley that Ubers do not drive down so you have to find your way to the hotel from a small square down the street and drag your bags over the cobblestones on arrival. When we left the hotel the staff called us a taxi and the taxi drivers do drive down the street and pick up outside. In addition, if you want to access the upper section of Porto from the hotel, the easiest route is up a series of staircases through a small park located next door. The park is rather "sketchy" feeling with trash and people sleeping there overnight..I was traveling with my spouse so this wasn't a problem but I would not have felt happy to walk through there in the evening on my own or with a female friend..Most of the time we arrived and left along the small road rather than through the park but the hotel's slightly "off the beaten track" location is its only drawback.
