Absolutely beautiful hotel! Truly one of the best we have experienced in quite some time. Breakfast was amazing and waitstaff as well. Location is great and close to everything. Gym, steam room, sauna all made our stay more enjoyable. Would absolutely stay again when back in Porto.
The worst checkin of my life. Very slow and when finally someone from the staff showed, another staff member showed up and both of them started arguing in Portuguese making it a very uncomfortable moment. I was offered literally “a sip” of espumante, then they gave a tour of the entire hotel showing me the amenities which took forever cause all you want to do is get to your room and chill. Good breakfast, decent food at the restaurant, small room, even smaller shower…for the price…I’m not coming back.

Warm and helpful staff, clean and comfortable room.
This hotel and the staff are amazing!! The hotel itself is beautiful and the amenities are wonderful. The staff was top notch, they went above and beyond to make our stay feel special. Highly recommend booking at Torel, we will be back on our next trip to Porto!
Wonderful experience! Restaurant on site was amazing! Staff very friendly and gave great recommendations. Will definitely return and recommend to others.
Great location, very walkable to sites around Porto. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great little bar and restaurant in the hotel itself. Would stay again next time I’m in Porto.
We always stay at Torel properties in Portugal and this was our first time at Hotel Avantagarde. The staff is amazing! Erica at the front desk reception went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed and Roman was also extremely helpful with tips on anything we asked of him. the Food service and quality at breakfast is OUTSTANDING!!
We loved our room with the gorgeous big tub overlooking the river. Too bad it was raining but we still had a great time! Staff was very helpful and friendly.
The property is beautiful and modern. We loved the artful decor in our room the Nicolas Tesla. It would have been an even more epic experience with two comfortable chairs in the room. I will recommend this property to friends and relatives who plan to travel to Porto next May.

The hotel, along with its staff were excellent. The housekeeping team were pleasant and friendly. Nothing was too much. Although we didn’t use the swimming pool facility due to weather, it was beautifully presented and well kept.
