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.

This noise starts at 10AM and ends at 7PM and will continue for several more weeks. The front desk manager claims there are no other rooms available even though I watched three new sets of customers check in after I complained about the incessant noise. I am appalled at how this hotel is handling this situation. I absolutely do not recommend this hotel. I have no other alternative but to leave. Very poor customer service!

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.

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.

We were able to walk everywhere in just a few minutes. It is located a little off the beaten path which made it really quiet and relaxing. We stayed down by the river front and across the river most of the time. If you want to go up into the city center, I recommend taking the funicular or uber if you don't want to walk up a huge flight of stairs. The walk to the city center is straight up the entire time but it was fine because we took a break at a coffee shop. This hotel has a beautiful rooftop bar with a really pretty and quiet view of the river. Our room was clean and the tile accents were beautiful. The front desk and bar staff were really friendly and everyone spoke English. If we go back to Porto, we would definitely stay here again.

Bar area has just the right charm for a day drink or a night cap, and the bartenders and fun and knowledgeable. This location is only steps away from the famous UNESCO Heritage's Ribeira with scrumptious restaurants and city life.
