United Kingdom, February 2025

6.4/10

My stay at Torel Avantgarde was generally enjoyable, with the beautiful river views and good breakfast being standout features. However, there were some aspects that left me feeling it wasn't quite the five-star experience I had hoped for, like the need for improved service and minor maintenance issues in my room. Overall, it's a charming boutique hotel worth considering for a stay in Porto.

Rooms

8.0

I stayed in a lovely room with a comfortable bed and a fantastic view over the river. However, the lighting was quite dim, making it challenging to do things like makeup or pack. Additionally, the bathroom layout felt cramped, impacting the overall comfort.

Service

7.0

While the staff were friendly and attentive during my stay, there were moments of confusion, especially when it came to dining and service requests. I had to ask for basic items like a kettle and tea, which felt a bit lacking for a hotel of this caliber.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location, although slightly uphill, offered stunning views and was manageable to walk into the city center. This made it feel away from the hustle and bustle while still being close to everything worth visiting.

Dining

8.0

Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a wide variety of delicious options including freshly made eggs to order. However, I found the dinner menu to be somewhat limited and overpriced for the offerings, which was disappointing.

Facilities

7.0

The spa facilities were nice but felt small, and there wasn't a dedicated relaxation area after treatments. I enjoyed using the heated pool, but it wasn't very warm, and there were some minor service shortcomings during my spa visits.

6.0/10

I had an really good experience at Torel Avantgarde, where the staff truly made my stay nice with their attention to detail and warm hospitality. The beautifully designed rooms offered stunning views of the Douro River, enhancing my enjoyment of the space. However, I did find some minor issues, such as the noise from the restaurant below that disrupted my peace at times. Overall, the luxury and service make it a worthwhile choice for travelers in Porto.

Rooms

8.0

The room I stayed in was uniquely designed, spacious, and offered amazing views of the river. However, the bathroom privacy situation was less than ideal with a totally clear glass door.

Service

10.0

The service was exemplary, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate my requests. My check-in experience was good, with staff offering me a welcome drink that set the tone for the stay.

Location

9.0

The hotel is ideally located just a short walk from the heart of Porto, making it easy to explore the city's attractions. Although it's at the top of a hill, the stunning views of the river were worth the climb.

Dining

9.0

Breakfast was a standout experience, with an impressive variety of options and a beautiful view from the restaurant. I particularly enjoyed the made-to-order items, though there were moments when the service could have been more attentive.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel features a lovely spa with excellent treatments that enhanced my stay. However, the pool area felt a bit crowded at times, which detracted from the overall relaxation experience.

My stay at Torel Avantgarde had its highs and lows. The room was stunning with a lovely view, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive! However, I was disappointed by the spa's disappointing upkeep and the noise from the corridors. 🏨✨

Rooms

I stayed in an executive superior room, which was beautifully decorated and spacious, making it feel luxurious. The view from my balcony was really nice, too! However, I did notice some inconsistency with the room categories upon arrival.

Service

Every interaction I had with the staff was great! They were knowledgeable and truly went beyond mere pleasantries, helping me with all my needs during the stay.

Location

The hotel sits on a quiet hill, making it away from the bustle of the city, yet it was still within walking distance to many attractions. The location was quite convenient for exploring Porto.

Dining

9.0

I enjoyed a good breakfast buffet with a great variety. The dinner experience at Digby was fine dining but expect smaller portions. The views while dining were truly special.

Facilities

6.0

While I enjoyed the small pool area, the spa was a letdown due to its maintenance issues. The indoor heated pool was closed, which was disappointing.

7.2/10

I recently stayed at the Torel Avantgarde in Porto for four days, and overall, it was a good experience. The hotel offers stunning views of the Douro River and has a unique, artistic vibe that truly enhances the stay. While the location is a bit uphill from the city center, making for a peaceful environment, it did require some walking to reach the main attractions. Breakfast was a highlight, with a generous selection, though some dining options could use improvement.

Rooms

9.0

My room was spacious and comfortable, featuring clever artwork and a relaxing design. However, I found the taps in the bathroom to be quite unusual and the lack of drawer space was a minor inconvenience.

Service

10.0

The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always willing to assist with anything I needed. Their casual yet polished demeanor added a nice touch to the overall experience.

Location

8.0

The location, while a 15-minute walk from the bustling central area, provided a tranquil atmosphere with amazing views. The uphill walk was manageable and worth it for the serenity offered by the hotel.

Dining

7.0

I enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which included various local specialties and freshly cooked options. However, I found the dinner at the on-site restaurant to be overpriced for the limited menu and presentation that didn't quite match the quality I anticipated.

Facilities

9.0

The hotel's facilities include inviting public areas and a lovely spa pool. I enjoyed the luxurious ambiance and appreciated the cleanliness throughout the hotel.
