Agora Guesthouse

Location is good. Staff is kind and very helpful. They shared some recommended restaurants.

Though it doesn't relate to the hotel self, the way to the hotel is not flat, which makes the luggage not easy to move. It's because it's in the old town area? The center. It's normal, because that is it used to be. While, still, it is also ture for tourist, It's not very convenient.BTW, i am not satisfied with a restaurant next to the hotel, called "rainbow fish & meat". That restaurant warmly encourages people, But i feel It's overpriced. And They charge additional 10% service fee (not written on menu, if you ask they said it's tax). I was told that 10% is illegal.

I love the bunk beds. It’s very good idea to have curtains, and I like they don’t move when you go up.

I like the terrace is very cool and chill, and the good selection of food for breakfast.

The breakfast was perfect, there as everything that one may need, fresh food and clean place. The location is exactly what you need, if you plan to make sightseeing, long walks and visit Istanbul by foot or train.

The staff was very friendly and willing to help all the time. They work very hard to please their customers. The Agora is located in the heart of the tourist district. The bus to the airport was a few minutes walk away as was the T1 tram and the Metro. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. We enjoyed our long breakfasts each morning! THANKS!

I would highly recommend the Agora Guesthouse; amazing breakfast I looked forward to every morning and I’m not a morning person, the cooks were so attentive and kind. Great staff in general, at all hours, they were so friendly and welcoming. Always ready with recommendations for food or things to see, and warning about tourist scams. I will miss staying here, and hope to return. Thank you!

I liked everything about this hostel. Perfect location, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and absolutely amazing guests. 10/10 all over. Worth the price 100%.

Breakfast was good although the coffee is inexplicably very very very weak. Bed was comfortable enough. Room was quiet enough. Bathroom streaks were private.

Paying for towels is ridiculous. More importantly, the bathrooms need windows or some proper ventilation, or more frequent cleaning. The smell goes up the stairs and their tolerance for that is too high. The stalls are clean looking but they stink to high heaven.

The location is great and the breakfast at the rooftop is wonderful! Seva gave me lot of recommendation and help. Highly reccomended!

OMG so many things! The curtains on the bed were practically blackout and very complete around so you had a lot of privacy. The overhead light came on by motion, and was turned off by 11 or so so you could get a good nights sleep… I think they came back on around eight in the morning. There were clear rules about quiet time as well. The upper bunk was high enough up that I didn't bump my head when I tried to sit on the edge of my lower bunk, and we had great and absolutely huge dwarfs under our bed where everything fit, even Backpack, and we were shown to put in our own passcode on them… They locked with a digital lock. Inside our space, we had a nice bed light, an outlet, and a small shelf. The room was quite large, and we had a table and a few chairs and a couple of shelves and a coat rack. I was in the basement and thought it would be clammy down there, but they even had humidifiersto keep it dry and comfortable. There were separate stalls for showers and toilets, and a row of sinks, so I never had to experience waiting in line. There were water coolers on each floor, and we can have as much water as we needed. And the best… The most amazing breakfast every morning… Practically a brunch. There was pasta, couscous, olives, and cheese, hard, boiled eggs, fruit, salad, bread… Some sweets… Absolutely amazing. And the breakfast room was very nice too… I'm inside tables and some tables out of the terrace, although there was really no view from there. And if you want to get down to the pier, it's a short walk downhill to the Kennedy Parkway to grab a bus that takes you all along the way over to the peers to take you to the Asian side. Or you can walk uphill for about five minutes and you're right at the market that's behind Hagia Sophia. Plenty of restaurants in the area as well, narrow, couple streets, very quiet at night. Really helpful receptionists as well.

Well, I thought hard and I really can't think of anything actually.

Location is good close to everything

Location

One of the staff member was unprofessional and rude during a simple inquiry. He responded not with an answer, but by accusations with very projective language, despite me asking a direct and clear question. This was an unwelcome and confusing interaction that made it feel very uncomfortable as a guest.
