Offering cars for rent, as well as Wi-Fi in public areas, the elegant Timbre Virtudes Hotel Porto is nearly 20 minutes' walk from Ponte de Dom Luis I Bridge. Featuring 71 rooms with views of the city, the 5-star hotel is just 1.6 km from Cais da Ribeira.

Location

Located approximately a 5-minute ride from the historical Ribeira Square, this Porto hotel is also within reach of São Bento railway station. União de Freguesias do Centro, which is a great choice for travellers interested in architecture, wine and city walks, where the Timbre Virtudes Porto sits, grants access to cultural attractions like World of Discoveries Interactive Museum, which is 2.6 km away.

Standing around 25 minutes' walk away, the austerely Monument Gothic Church Of St Francis is a hard-to-miss divine tourist destination.

The property is 950 metres from Aliados metro city rail and merely 450 metres from Cais da Fontainha bus stop.

Rooms

The rooms at Timbre Virtudes Hotel have a terrace and a living room, along with air conditioning and soundproof walls for your convenience. Also, there is an individual safe, a minibar, coffee and tea making facilities provided. Bathrooms inlude a walk-in shower, a separate toilet, and a hot tub, and such fine comforts as a hair dryer and bath sheets.

Eat & Drink

Portuguese cuisine can be enjoyed in the à la carte Traves restaurant. You can visit a restaurant situated close by and taste Portuguese cuisine.

“In my opinion, this is a stylish five-star hotel occupying one of the city's oldest buildings, now updated with modern amenities; the rooftop bar, coupled with live entertainment, makes for memorable evenings. The location is excellent for accessing Porto's attractions, and the staff adds thoughtful touches, like welcome drinks, which elevate the experience. For those seeking a blend of history, comfort, and attentive service, this hotel warrants serious consideration.”

underwhelming stay

narrow street poor soundproofing

The street access proved quite inconvenient. taxis struggled to navigate the narrow lane, forcing a bit of a trek with luggage. inside, the room's soundproofing was lacking. I could hear doors slamming late at night.
