The hotel arranged parking for us as we had a rental car since we came from Lisbon to Braga and then Porto. The parking was included in our price and the lot was just a short walk from the hotel. We had a small suite as we had three adults in the room. It was fairly large, especially by European standards and very nice. The room was extremely quiet. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom spacious with white marble. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a little cafe attached to the lobby that is very pleasant and my daughter and I had a nice breakfast there during our visit. The A Brasileira might not be the least expensive option in porto but I felt for the location and quality it was worth it,

It was hard trying to decide on what hotel to stay during our vacation and after our visit, I have…read moreto say that we chose a great location. While we were not directly in the city, we were close enough to walk everywhere and yet far enough away to not hear any loud music. We arrived early in the morning and our room was not ready which was to be expected. I loved that they accommodated us by allowing us to use the spa facilities for a quick shower that was much needed after our long flight. After we freshened up, they tagged our bags and left them with the concierge. We walked the city and got the lay of our location. We really wanted a quick nap before dinner, but when we returned to the hotel our room still was not ready and we did not fully check in until 3:45. The room was nice, but I think the photos online looked better than what we got. We did have a separate living space with a couch that we appreciated. The room was clean and they provided refillable bottles of water. While that was a great perk, it was a bit irritating that we had to call them each time we wanted a refill and they would only give you 1 bottle each time. My husband and I both drink a lot of water, so we ended up buying bottles to ensure that we had enough throughout the night. The breakfast was very good, although it was pretty much the same each day. The staff was nice, but not the best with recommendations or suggestions. The art work was very cool and the hotel very modern and pretty. I would definitely stay here again.

Last minute reservations can be tricky when you are also traveling with two small dogs. However, the front desk staff responded to our inquiry immediately and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. All of the rooms are named after artists and we were assigned the Van Gogh Suite. Like Van Gogh, the room was dry and moody. It was also very spacious with lots of room for our luggage. Housekeeping brought up two beds for our dogs and treats. They also offered bowls but we had brought our own. We were also given a bottle of champagne and offered two drinks at the bar. The bed was very comfortable and I slept quite well. Everyone at the hotel treated our dogs like celebrities. We were even able to bring them downstairs for breakfast and dinner because we had them in a stroller. The breakfast buffet is great. The bread that is served at the hotel is amongst the best I have eaten in my life. The staff was so accommodating and professional. One person asked us where we were going for the day and offered us lunch suggestions. The manager also comped our parking fees for each day because of an unfortunate experience we had at dinner. They also left a card in our car wishing us a safe journey and provided a bottle of water. We had a great time during our trip to Porto and the staff and accommodations at the Torel Avantgarde are a large reason why.

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Convenient location…read more Hotel Teatro is conveniently located. Approximately 15 minutes from the train station. Boutique hotel with a theatrical theme. Quick and efficient check in. Good customer service. Breakfast included. Complimentary glass of porto. All about the room: The room is very dark. Like a dark theater. There is no door for the bathroom. A curtain separates the bathroom from the sleeping area. Hence, curtains like a theater stage. The shower is large with a waterfall spout with nice water pressure. There is a bathtub the corner location sitting all alone. Like a stage prop in a play. The lighting is very minimal. For a vampire in a play. There is a velour oversized lounging chair sitting in the opposite corner of the tub. Another prop for the play. No praticality in the rooms so be prepared. The end.

First, there is massive construction in front of the hotel that should have been finished last year but the new completion date is TBD. Thankfully, our room faced the back of the hotel, looking out into an interior apartment complex, so we didn't have to deal with the early-hour jackhammering. But if I had shelled out some serious money for the Intercontinental brand and a pretty view of Praça da Liberdade, Porto's main square, and was just looking out at a construction lot covered in tarp, I'd be pretty disappointed. Service here was iffy. When we got to the hotel, the bellboy took our bags and, since the concierge was busy, pointed us to some empty seats nearby; I assumed we'd then be next. Then a line starts forming for people waiting to check in as we're sitting there before we finally realize we need to be standing in the line. We never got much of a "Good morning" or "Have a nice day" from the bellboys, only a very diffident nod. We had a hotel credit and used it at the bar; food was exceptionally mediocre and, par for the course, extremely expensive. Two redeeming points for the hotel: 1. The breakfast buffet was pretty good, with several options and fresh fruit. Still doesn't hold a candle to the legendary hotel buffets in Asia. 2. The location was stellar, easy walking distance to most tourist attractions and the bridges in Porto. That's probably what drives the price up. Wouldn't stay here again.

AC doesn't work well, so you are warned for the summer months. Room was spacious, super clean and very comfortable. Not as many ammenities as other hotels, but you do get the robe and slippers and toiletries (attached to the wall). Not too shabby. The staff for the most part are GREAT. On our first day some really couldn't answer questions/seemed confused and had issues with both English and Spanish, but we got through it. They try hard, and that is worth something. The lobby is small and can get crowded quickly. And now Bicicleta - the most unfriendly, obnoxious and unhelpful group of people I have met in Portugal or in most places. ABSOLUTELY THE PITS. Starting with Mr. Grumpy bouncer with an idiot attitude that is like a drill Sargeant when it came to checking on people not walking in from the streets on their way to the CROWDED breakfast room. (with bfast included in your price I can understand their concerns, but this guy was a bully). Most of the staff have a godforsaken look on their unfriendly faces, so if you are just wandering in to look around, expect to be inspected from head to toe and treated like you are a threat to society. NOT FRIENDLY. Breakfast: Where the coffee machine is located creates a mess of a line in front of the hot breakfast buffet area. Food is not bad, but navigating it gets very confusing. And when you add on the most of the staff are simply the worst you will encounter in hospitality, it makes for a mess. KUDOS however to how management handled the power outage. With back up generator, aging adults were able to use the elevator and toilets flushed. COLD shower, but they had power. What didn't manage the situation well was of course Bicicleta, who could only offer salad and didn't think about bread and cheese and cold cuts. Hotel management of the situation was SUPERB. Bicicleta? They should just keep peddaling into another country and leave for good. Have I said they are a dissappointing crew for the most part? All in all, I would still stay here, now that I know my way around town, because the location is great and management works hard to please!

Speaking of bars we opted for dinner a few nights in the magical bar with a wonderful pianist and captivating night view of Porto and the Bar staff went above and beyond to make our experience picture perfect. The concierges were also very helpful to set up tours or buy train tickers and with nightly dinner reservations.

Needed a home base to explore Porto for 3 nights, and this hotel offered the perfect mix of affordability, convenience, and amenities. Located at the outskirts of Porto, its fairly easy to get to, and they have a very small parking lot with limited street parking. So if you park, don't move your car or you will be hunting for a spot. Small lobby on the first floor, but staff are kind and efficient, getting you to your room and explaining amenities fairly quickly. The bar / restaurant is excellent with friendly staff and great service, and the credit included for elite members makes it even better. However, no free breakfast which is a bummer. The rooms are basic, but comfortable. Could always be a bit larger, but got the job done. Wifi worked well, and decent amount of English channels on the TV. Water pressure was excellent. Would definitely stay again for affordability, but something in city center is a bit more convenient.
