Torel Avantgarde

Room was lovely, bed comfortable and the view over the river was great. Housekeeping was great. Breakfast was excellent and we loved the outside views, selection available and how beautifully the lady on the egg counter made the eggs benedict and omelettes - i.e. not overcooked. The bar toasted sandwich was great value, All the staff were great and so helpful and welcoming. Welcome tour of hotel and room were excellent. They also gave good recommendations when asked. When I hurt myself in Porto they were so caring when I got back to the hotel, cleaning and dressing my arm and bringing ice packs for my head. Everyone was so kind - of particular mention were Tiago, Inês and Paulo. We would definitely come again.

Room is spacious, bed is comfortable, breakfast is fantastic. But the most memorial was the staff: very attentive, polite and helpful. All staff are quite young, energetic and eager to help.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Torel Avantgarde in Porto, and we must say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into this stunning property, we were blown away by the elegant design and warm atmosphere. The real highlight of my stay, however, was the exceptional service provided by the staff. A heartfelt thank you to the front desk reception team, who greeted us with genuine smiles and ensured every aspect of our stay was seamless. Special thanks to the Night Auditor, who went above and beyond to assist us during late hours with unparalleled professionalism. The restaurant staff also deserves immense praise for their attentiveness and for making each meal feel like a curated experience. The property itself is beautiful, with luxurious rooms that blend comfort and style, offering breathtaking views of Porto. Every corner of the hotel seemed thoughtfully designed to provide a unique and relaxing environment. Torel Avantgarde is truly a gem in Porto, and we cannot recommend it enough. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for making our stay so special!

Without any doubt, this Hotel deserves any accolade that is bestowed on it. They provided an exceptional experience from the moment we were greeted at the door, to the early breakfast they provided for our 06.00hrs departure. Having booked a standard room we were amazed to be offered a complimentary upgrade to the Virginia Woolf suite which is stunning in itself but part of the architecturally wonderful annexe. Adriana, who met us at the reception and was our guide to the hotels facilities, was genuinely charming and excited to see our reactions, starting with the mundane (bar, dining area, spa etc) and then as the tour progressed revealing the more exotic aspects such as the superb balcony view and all the special extras of the 'Woolfe suite'. The hand writing greeting accompanying the 'Fizz, chocs and fruit' with text taken from Virginia Woolf's writing indicated the staff were providing a degree of thought beyond the ordinary. All the staff (and there were many) were friendly and helpful but some were obviously proud and enthusiastic to be part of the 'Torel family' which enhanced the assurance that the Hotel ethos was to offer their guests the best experience possible.

Wonderful location with the views to be admired day and night. What a luxury to wake up and be able to enjoy slow morning in the balcony with such a stunning panorama around! Quiet place, stylish interior, very comfortable beds. Helpful personnel available also at night. They took care of our car as well. I truly recomend for a relaxing stay in Porto!
