Very friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room, lovely terrace upstairs, perfect location, and reasonable prices - I would definitely consider staying at Agora Guesthouse again!
Nice and cozy location in the heart of Istanbul.
I appreciated how the hotel was centrally located near sights like Haga Sophia and The Blue Mosque.
It was also about 9 min walking from the metro station that takes you all throughout the city quickly and much more affordably than most cabs.
The hotel itself was extremely cute and cozy. There are two flights of stairs and no elevator, just a note for others. The staff was helpful and gave me lots of recommendations for things to do and places to eat nearby.
The room was quite nice and more spacious than I imagined, it had a nice window. The fridge didnt work the best (but I found that to be the case in many places throughout Istanbul) but it was nice the location is nearby super markets as well.
The staff spoke wonderful English and help in every way they could.
Breakfast was a great start to the day. Room was clean and well appointed.
The hall carpets could do with a shampoo.
Le menu du petit déjeuner était incroyable, fait maison par des personnes très sympathiques !
Le personnel à l’accueil est adorable et à l’écoute, on nous a donné toutes les infos nécessaires à l’arrivée. Notre chambre était très bien ! Juste le matelas très dur et surtout assez court, pour ceux qui font plus d’un mètre 85 pour une chambre économique… le lit risque d’être trop petit.
Niveau propreté niquel ! Le seul petit détail au niveau de la douche est la pression de l’eau qui est très faible mais rien de très grave !
C’était notre première fois à Istanbul et le fait d’être autant à proximité de la mosquée bleue / Hagia Sophia etc c’était un bonheur !
Merci à toute l’équipe de l’hôtel d’avoir rendu le séjour encore plus exceptionnel, nous reviendrons !
Läget är helt perfekt! Lugn gata men bara ett par minuter från Hagia Sofia, bargata, shopping etc. Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal med väldigt bra engelskakunskaper, jag fick massor av hjälp och tips.
Bodde ett par nätter några kvarter bort för nästan samma pris. Agora har en standard långt över det andra alternativet.
Frukosten var turkisk (tror jag) och lite annorlunda men god. Den serveras på takterrassen som övrig tid kan användas fritt för boende. Man kan ta med något att dricka eller köpa i receptionen.
Agora Guest war eine Woche unsere Unterkunft und wir fühlten uns gut aufgehoben. Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und die Mitarbeiter sind sehr zuvorkommend und nett. Das einzige was uns etwas gestört hat war das für ein Ehepaar der Schrank Etwas zu klein war, kann man eventuell zwei Regale einbauen lassen und das war das einzigste und kleinste Nachteil. Wir würden uns immer wieder gerne für Agora und seine freundlichen Mitarbeiter/innen entscheiden.
Vielen Dank nochmals
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Never stayed in a guest house before and were very pleased with our experience. Staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms had everything we needed including a safe and great hairdryer. Shower had great pressure but the water was very slow to drain away which maybe a blockage? Beds were comfortable, had a great sleep but for me the roof top terrace was perfect to relax on in the evening. I am planning on going back to istanbul soon and i will definitely be staying here again.
If you are looking for a friendly and clean place to stay, this is the one. But let me start from beginning. When you walk in, you are greeted and welcomed by friendly staff. We walked in when the owner and his wife were present and they welcomed us as well. After a very bad experience day ago, with another hotel, we were so relieved to find this place, my wife started crying tears of relief.During our stay we have noticed a very friendly and relaxed but professional atmosphere between the owner and his staff. He is very friendly and polite with each one of them, sits and talks to them. We also noticed that the owner tries to remember each guests name and addresses them with their first name, welcomes you to join him at the table or will join you for a chat. Any questions or wishes we had, he did everything to accommodate them.In this guesthouse you are getting an included breakfast on the terrace, it is a standard but nice breakfast with friendly staff.They also offer laundry service in house, as well as a PCR test with a nurse who comes to the hotel by appointment. Some important note is that manager Mr.Alper is never shy to jump and clean the guesthouse area even though he has his staff.Mr.Alper and his staff are proactive in anyway to make their customers a wonderful and remembered stay at their guesthouse.We loved it here and would definitely come back again to this place. Mr.Alper and wonderful staff of Agora thank you for your outpouring help and service.
