"When my flight was canceled, I ended up with two extra days in Porto—and I couldn't have spent them anywhere better. While the photos of the pool originally sold me on the property, the friendly staff, unique art-inspired rooms, and unbeatable location confirmed I made the right choice. I met several repeat guests who stay here every time they visit Porto, and I can completely see why!"

"Great service - the staff were wonderful. Clean and the focus on an 'artist' for each room was something a bit different. Breakfast was lovely and the room had everything we needed. Views over Porto were superb"

"One of the nicest boutique hotels I’ve experienced in all of my travels."

"We travelled to Porto to celebrate a birthday and we couldn't have been happier with the Porto Torel Avantgarde. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, the reception is very welcoming, as are the reception staff. We arrived early and were eager to explore the area, the hotel stored our luggage for us and called when the room was ready. The room itself was immaculate and spacious as was the shower room with body wash, shampoo and conditioner amongst other bathroom amenities. The restaurant is wonderful, breakfast on the terrace overlooking the river was a definite highlight, together with cocktails at the end of the evening. The pools were fantastic, one overlooking the river and one on the lower terrace that was covered and lovely and warm. The location of the hotel itself is superb, a short walk (mostly downhill) to a plethora of restaurants and bars and an approximate 10 minute walk to the lively area of Riberia, which was also a favourite spot to sit and watch the world go by. The final thing to mention is that the staff at Torel Avantgarde are exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble, they truly are fantastic. We would most definitely return to this hotel if travelled again to Porto and have been recommending to all our family and friends."

"From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt completely pampered at Torel Avantgarde. The hotel is beautiful, with stunning suites, a fantastic location, a delicious breakfast and excellent, attentive service. We stayed here to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and the team truly made it an unforgettable experience. We were spoiled with the most beautiful room and so many thoughtful touches that made our anniversary feel extra special. If you have the opportunity, we can highly recommend the Royal Suite Galileo Galilei. The suite is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views over the Douro, and made our stay even more memorable. A huge thank you to the entire Torel Avantgarde team for taking such wonderful care of us. We left Porto with beautiful memories and would return without hesitation. ❤️"
