Wonderful service, views, food and bar. The water pressure was severely lacking, to the point I was not able to wash my hair. It was in a great location with walks to the river and numerous gardens. We’ll be back.

Great views, nice staff and good breakfast but not a five star hotel in the details and service. Understaffed, room service food is average. If good quality sheets, good pillows and quality soap is important to you, you will be unhappy there.

Amazing staff
5.0 / 5.0
The property has a unique and fabulous internal decoration in both the general areas and bedrooms. Everywhere was kept clean and tidy.
The staff were great from the moment you approach the front door and are welcomed to the hotel.
The pool and restaurant has beautiful views over the city and river views to the old port houses on the other side. The breakfasts were gorgeous and food we had was all very good.
It is easy walking from the hotel to the beautiful areas of Porto. Within a few minutes you are either on the river front or in the main old city and all it has to offer.
If you want to be well looked after and pampered in a fabulous hotel within Porto you can't go wrong with this hotel.

Our stay at Torel Avantgarde was nothing short of impeccable. As a gold member of Hilton and Marriott Hotels, I can confidently say the service we received here was top-notch. Every detail was meticulously attended to by the outstanding staff, making our visit truly memorable.
The staff at Torel were invaluable resources, assisting us with everything from selecting restaurants to arranging excursions. Their most significant assistance came when they helped my husband secure a car rental, which was conveniently delivered to the hotel on our last day, allowing us to explore the stunning Douro Valley.
Our accommodations in the Coco Chanel room were extraordinary. The room featured a Roman tub facing the river and a private balcony, offering a luxurious and relaxing experience. It was worth every penny.
To the Torel Avantgarde family, thank you for making our first visit to Porto, Portugal, extra sweet and memorable. We look forward to returning.

We stayed in the Maisonette for our honeymoon. That room is definitely expensive, but with the private pool and extra levels of service, it was worth it for our honeymoon. They were very nice all week.

The star here is the staff. They cannot do enough for you. They helped us with restaurant/taxi bookings, printing, questions, all sorts. They do everything they can to ensure you have a great trip.
The hotel is gorgeous - an excellent choice in this city. It is up the hill and set away from the busy Ribeira area.
Our room had stunning views. The balcony is great with table & chairs, shaded and private. There is a large concrete bath, big enough for two, which gives stunning sky views. Large comfortable bed lots of pillows plenty of large towels, nice toiletries provided.
Big wardrobe with lots of hangers. Rainfall shower is lovely and nice toiletries. The blackout curtains are excellent (but not wide enough - eye mask needed).
Breakfast is excellent. All the usual cooked produce, cheeses/hams/fruits/spreads etc but just with an extra touch of class. There is also an 'egg station', where you can order poached eggs, eggs benedict, omelet etc and it is made fresh and brought to your table. It is very much worth the money.
Food is available all the way until 11:30 p.m., in the bar or the restaurant both provide a really nice selection and high quality produce dishes. The cocktail barman is extremely good at mixing.
When we stayed here it was a major festival in a city, and the staff put on a great party for the guests. Would highly recommend staying here as a couple for up to a week.

If you are looking for a beautiful hotel with views of the river you are in for a real treat. The staff is incredible. They helped with activity and dinning suggestions and reservations. The hotel interior design is stunning. The food at the hotel restaurant is excellent and bar offers craft cocktails. The location was not far from the excitement of Porto.

Very good view of the river from our room. Breakfast was really good. The hotel was nicely decorated but an uphill walk to town center. The rooms are small but comfortable and chic. They seemed understaffed in restaurant and bar. Seagulls were off and on screaming at night.

3.0 / 5.0
I enjoyed the fabulous breakfast that was included and i thought it was awesome it was from 730 to 11 so you dont have to get up early to ear if you rather sleep in. The spa was small but my service was enjoyable.
When i arrived there was champagne waiting in my room which was great and the room service i order was yummy.
I didnt care much for my room. It was the Classic room so it was small and very dark. The window didnt really brighten up the space at all. The themed artist room was disappointing as it was just one painting on the wall by the artist so not very thoughtful.
One morning for breakfasts i went to the bathroom and when i came back to finish, they cleared my table and gave it to someone else. That really angered me. I left my key thetr as indication i was returning but they removed it and put it at the front counter.
I thought that the view from the property was a bit limited and it gives the impression you have a grander view online.
The walk from the hotel to big sites like the Dom Louis 1 bridge is 20 minutes. Next time ill definitely try to stay somewhere closer to the river. I left my jacket at the hotel and inquired about shipping it back to me and the estimate the company the hotel hired was 59 euro. It was shipped to US but i still thought that was high. I asked if they could ship as a courtesy considering i stayed there 6 nights, had spa service and frequented the restaurant twice. But no. I thought for a 5 star hotel theyd be more accomidating.

Great service, great views and very comfortable beds. The team also arranged transfers for me and were kind enough to accommodate a few last minute requests. It’s clear they do what they can to make your stay enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Apart from the fact that the bathrooms are very dark and there are no individual nightlight controls the hotel is fantastic! Jr suite spacious - comfortable beds and fabulous views. Breakfast was a great selection and delicious. Very helpful and accommodating staff. Can’t comment on spa or gym - didn’t use. Highly recommend.

Amazing stay at the Torel Avantgarde! A true boutique hotel with attentive staff, incredible views, a delicious breakfast and unique and comfortable rooms! Our highlight was sitting on our deck overlooking the city of Porto and the Douro River while enjoying the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine that was brought to our room. If we go back to Porto, this is the only hotel we'll stay at.

From the moment I arrived I felt welcome. I was shown around the hotel to familiarise myself which helped to make me feel at home, as did the welcome drink. The food, both dinner and breakfast, was excellent, with a wide, varied selection for breakfast. A really lovely stay
4.0 / 5.0
Overall this is a high standard of hotel and the staff are very keen to please and help.
Sadly the rooms and the hotel processes are not Five Star. The kitchen is clearly unable at times to service the guests in a timely manner especially at breakfast and evening meals. Delays can be 10-20 minutes for a poached egg or food on the buffet to be replenished. This happened multiple times during our stay.
We also booked an Executive Double Room, Balcony (Superior). The first room we were allocated was not as described in the booking. To be honest it if Pablo had not resolved this issue and allocated us a room similar to the one in the images we would have refused the booking and sorted another hotel.
We consider the first rooms allocated as very sub standard. Small, dark, cramped and not in keeping with the description or a five star hotel. More a Premier Inn Hotel!!
Even though the room we were allocated was acceptable as design and space it was totally impractical for people staying seven days!!. There was limited storage four clothes hangers for two adults, limited shelves. No drawers. The bedside units were boxes rather than best side drawers.
Consequence was we had to request 10 hangers, had toiletries and plugs etc on most if not all surfaces. The result a very attractive room when unoccupied looks cluttered and not stylish.
There was limited wall hanging for coats or places to dry towels as a result they were changed every day.
