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.
