Torel Avantgarde

The hotel was centrally located and perfect for our honeymoon.

The staff were all very helpful and welcoming. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the river. Easy walking distance into the main areas.

The location was great. We could walk to everything we wanted to do. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. The restaurant was good and the breakfast was spectacular.

The breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable and the curtains were good for blocking out light so we had a good sleep. The shelving and rails in the batch room were well designed.

There is no door to the bathroom and the shower had a tiny opening so hard to get into even if you are slim and the shower itself was tiny and the overhead shower dropped cold water into you when you used the hand shower. The lighting as very poor and made it difficult to read at night, and both side lamps were switched together so one person could not have a light on with tout the other side light coming on which was very annoying. Our booking also came with an included bottle of wine which wasn’t provided and when I asked about it the request wasn’t followed up or acted upon

A wonderful holiday in Porto. We travelled with our dog, and the hotel is truly pet-friendly, our pet was able to move freely around the hotel grounds and even visit the restaurant.I would like to give a special mention to the staff. All the employees are very friendly, attentive and always ready to help, resolving any issues as quickly as possible.The hotel restaurant has a good and well-thought-out menu, and the breakfasts are varied and delicious. We were satisfied with our stay and would gladly return here again.

There were some problems in the bathroom, but they were fixed while we were having breakfast.

Welcoming, friendly and excellent customer service throughout our stay. We came with our 1 year old and the team made us feel so relaxed and looked after. The location is perfect to walk into town and explore central Porto. The facilities, restaurant and room were all great but the best feature has to be that view over Porto. Wonderful.

The view from our room was beautiful. The breakfast was great. The bed was big and comfy. The shower was excellent. There was a cool lounge to relax in. The staff members were great, always friendly and helpful.

It was just a little bit out of the way from central Porto. Comms with the staff was sometimes a bit hit & miss due to language.

Th staff are welcoming, friendly and they all speak english . I also got an upgrade for free to the execuitive room " Mozart" so thank you for the guy who was on duty for this nice gesture. He also gave me a tour to the hotel . I cant thank them all enough for this phonomenal and unforgettable experience.

Although the elevator was out of service for one day and a half , I was not bothered as I was staying in the 1st floor and taking the stairs was okay with me

Everything was excellent. From check-in to check-out, the staff members are professional and efficient. Always helping with a smile and great hospitality. Our dinner experience was fantastic, and the food was exceptional—a place to come back to in the Summer.

View was amazing, location was perfect, very cozy place, staff were all friendly and helpful especially the waiters and hosts for breakfast

Friendly and exceptionally helpful staff. Central location and ease of access. Delightful room and view. Excellent omelette.

Everything was very good

I’ve been visiting Porto since 2018 because the city and its people completely captured my heart — sometimes I even come twice a year. At Torel Avantgarde, it no longer just feels like coming home; from the moment you step into the lobby, you’re welcomed with genuine warmth and care right up until the day you leave. The service is exceptional, the facilities are excellent, and the staff’s friendliness and sincerity are truly outstanding. No request is ever too much, and you’re always helped with a smile.There’s a sauna, steam room, and swimming pool available without reservation, and every time I’ve used them, I’ve had the space entirely to myself. The morning gym facilities are also great before heading into the city. Another big plus is the location — just a comfortable 10-minute walk from the center.The rooms are all designed around an artist concept, so no two are alike. After staying here for several years, I still find myself pleasantly surprised each time. The balconies overlooking the Douro are phenomenal. The breakfast, bar, and dinner options are all excellent as well.I keep returning year after year because this place makes every stay in Porto even more special. I even celebrated a milestone birthday here this year — with a bottle of champagne and a lovely card waiting in my room, and another surprise at breakfast the next morning.In short, it’s a truly exceptional hotel in every way. A strong recommendation, and I will definitely keep coming back. Overwhelming — in the best possible sense.

The hotel was excellent.very clean and comfortable and our room had fantastic views. The staff were brilliant.

view of the hotel

There was an event at the hotel during the days we stayed and we were unable to use the restaurant and bar.

Uncomfortable and not worth the...

We were quite disappointed with the hotel. It is definitely not a 5-star level hotel at all. Dirty carpets; horrible lights; one hanger in the whole room for 4 towels and 2 robes and that one hanger is right ar the toilette door… We chose a 5-star hotel because we wanted to have a comfortable stay, and it was not in reality at all. If only we booked an other hotel.

Fun and aesthetic, the staff is so friendly and helpful and we loved the restaurant.

The rooms are very dark, def need better lighting. Sheets are not amazing.

This hotel is truly exceptional—an exquisite blend of unique character and understated glamour. Perfectly located within walking distance of fabulous restaurants and the charming old town, it offers both convenience and sophistication. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely engaging, ensuring every moment feels special. From the beautifully presented breakfast, a true culinary delight, to the magnificent river views that accompany it, every detail reflects impeccable taste and gracious hospitality.

nothing at all - this place is perfect!

Great facilities for a boutique. High standard of food. Attentive and helpful staff.

What a fantastic hotel. Stylish, warm, and personal. Perfectly located in the heart of Porto, with a beautiful view from the terrace. The staff make you feel right at home. The rooms are beautifully decorated.

I was only staying one night as Easyjet bumped me off the plane back to London, so I thought I would treat myself to an afternoon by a pool and some superior comfort. I got both - the hotel is stunning, if a little expensive. And the views are to die for. My room was fabulous, incredibly luxurious with a superb bed and linen and every other facility I could have wished for, even the sound of tinkling water outside my room. Sadly I had to leave it at 7am for the new flight. The staff were absolutely fantastic as well and I hope I will be back one day.

Nothing, only the price!
