Guest Reviews
- René (10/5): Mega zentral und familienfreundlich - Super freundliches Personal, welches einem herzlich willkommen heisst. Die Lage ist super zentral bei Hagia Sophia und der blauen Moschee. Viele Restaurants in der Nähe. Grosses Angebot mit vielen verschiedenen Produkten, jedoch eher traditionell gehalten.
- MARIA TERESA LEON CALERO (9/5): Agora Libe ubicación perfects - La ubicación es perfecta, es de 10, todo muy cerca, se puede ir andando a Santa Sofía, Mezquita Azul, Gran Bazar..., el personal del hotel muy majos te intentan ayudar en todo. Las habitaciones están muy bien, tienen un tamaño bueno y la cama es comodisima. Lo que menos me gustó fue el desayuno, tienen poca variedad.
- Hennadii (10/5): Можете сміливо бронювати!!! - Чудовий затишний готель у самому історичному центрі поруч з Софією та Блакитною мечеттю. Безкоштовний паркінг, шикарна оглядова тераса на даху. Дуже приємний і вічливий персонал, готовий допомогти у любому питанні. Щоденне прибирання і румсервіс. Дякую, нам було дуже комфортно. Нічого критичного.
- Du Toit (5/5): Great location… not clean… disgusting breakfast - Fantastic location… front of office staff excellent, great view from the suite room Our room was NEVER cleaned in the 4 days we stayed there (i tested them by placing a piece of paper on the floor), balcony was filthy, DISGUSTING breakfast, pillows as hard as a rock, and the mattress killed my back!
- Fa (10/5): -
- Carmen (9/5): - La gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel
- ryutaro (10/5): - スタッフが親切
- Alaa (9/5): Good stay - staff is very helpful Some noise at the reception
- Ana Teresa (9/5): -
- Joanne (9/5): Fabulous and will stay again - The staff were amazing and helpful. The location was exceptional and the view from the roof at sunset unforgettable Nothing
- Nathanael (10/5): - Très bon emplacement, personnel extrêmement gentil
- Dimity (8/5): Fantastic!! - Fantastic location. All the staff were extremely helpful on tips on where to go to eat and what to do, directions etc. great English and friendly. We were able to leave our luggage to store for 2 nights when we went to Cappadocia. Would certainly recommend and stay again. Oh and the view from our room was incredible.
- Laura Abbott (9/5): You will love this place for view, location and staff. - Fabulous location in the old town and near restaurants and everything! Very helpful staff. I can’t say enough about how they helped me in an emergency. Also the view was outstanding. Breakfast was in the basement so, not a great space but, it was a fine breakfast.
- lorenzo (7/5): - La vista dalla terrazza La colazione: triste la sala dove si effettua e veramente imbarazzante il cibo per la colazione dolce, cibo scadente e pochissima scelta
- Marie (10/5): A fantastic stay - all the team should be exceptionally proud of the service they provide. - We have just returned from a few days in Istanbul staying at the Agora Life. The service from all the staff from beginning to end was faultless - we all felt (including 2 teenage boys) that we were joining their family. Kaan supported us with a fantastic day of football, supporting us to get tickets, helping us with detailed explanations of transport and showing us pictures of where to go. Whether it was just spending time talking to us telling us about the country, suggesting places to eat or offering us tea - everything was amazing.
Our parents visited the property 18 months ago, recommended it to us and we will be doing the same to other friends and family. Thank you for an amazing stay. Nothing.
- Viktoriia (10/5): - Прекрасное расположение, все достопримечательности в пешей доступности! Близко две остановки трамвая, пешком близко набережная Эминеню, хороший район, но в отеле тихо, он расположен в про улочке! Очень вежливый внимательный персонал, приятный в общении и во всем помогающий. Завтрак без каких-то изысков, но голодными не уйдете, из горячих блюд предлагают омлет, вкусный. Уборка каждый день, чисто! Прекрасная смотровая площадка, с которой открывается шикарный вид Нет такого
- els (9/5): Gastvrij onthaal in het oude centrum van Istanbul - Een klein familiehotel waar je hartelijk wordt ontvangen.
Geven vele nuttige tips voor bezoeken.
Sobere kamers met wel een inloopdouche,ijskastje en koffie of thee mogelijkheden.Dagelijks een grote fles water op de kamer.Bij aankomst fruit en een fles witte wijn.
Verse eibereidingen en pannenkoeken bij het ontbijt.
Fantastisch gelegen in het centrum van Sultanamet met in de buurt vele restaurantjes,op loopafstand van de grote moskeeën,basilica cisterna,grote bazaar,…
- THEODOROS (9/5): -
- Adriana (8/5): Variedad en los desayunos - La ubicación. Los desayunos.
- PRZEMYSLAW (8/5): Ogólnie na plus. Za tę cenę bezdyskusyjnie dobrze. - Rewelacyjny i przemiły personel. Pokoje skromne. Mało gniazdek elektrycznych.
- robert (8/5): Excellent Istanbul hotel in perfect location - Location is spot on for all the main sites in Istanbul, staff were brilliant, very informative and helpful in all aspects of your stay and would recommend this hotel, we didnt use the terrace as weather was not on our side, but we had a quick look and the views were excellent. Rooms are cleaned every day and very clean, and staff will recommend places to go and eat which is very helpful
- MARIA JOSE JIMENEZ PARRA (10/5): Mejor imposible - La amabilidad del personal, son muy acogedores y siempre dispuestos ayudar, lo hospitalarios que son no tengo palabras para describir lo bien que nos hemos sentido.Gracias, Graciasssss por cada uno de los detalles que habéis tenido con nosotras.
Las vistas, son espectaculares de noche mucho más.
La Ubicación mejor imposible. Realmente nada
- Nan (9/5): - Fabulous locatin within easy walking distance of main sights. Very friendly staff who were extremely helpful at all times.
- Fab Mtr (10/5): - Super emplacement juste à coté des principaux points touristiques.
- Gabina (8/5): -
- SAINT ANDRE (9/5): Super emplacement pour visiter Istanbul - L’emplacement est idéal ! Le personnel très arrangeant et présent, vous êtes à 5 min à pied des points d’intérêt d’Istanbul. L’isolation phonique
- Paqui (9/5): - La situación muy céntrico
- Ilia (9/5): -
- Crina (9/5): -
- 931aldina_ (10/5): Perfect Location, Wonderful Staff, and a Stay to Remember at Agora Life Hotel - We stayed at Agora Life Hotel and we have nothing but praise.
The airport transfer to the hotel was arranged in advance and everything went smoothly, which meant a lot to us upon arrival. The rooms are clean, tidy, and very comfortable.
The location is excellent – the hotel is just steps away from the main attractions in Istanbul, which made our stay even more enjoyable and convenient.
The staff is extremely kind, welcoming, and always ready to help.
This is a place we would gladly return to and happily recommend to our friends.
- Angela (9/5): - La ubicación es perfecta y las vistas desde mi habitación eran increíbles. Como mejora diría que el desayuno estaba en un sitio muy oscuro y que se podría acondicionar la parte del roof top para mayor disfrute.
También que el sonido de las mezquitas a las 5am nos despertaba porque se oía mucho, pero imagino que se oiría en cualquier otro apartamento también.
- Ionel (10/5): Hidden Gem - My stay at Agora Life Hotel was absolutely wonderful and exceeded my expectations. The location is simply unbeatable—right in the heart of Sultanahmet, it is just a quick 5-minute walk to all the major sites like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar . You really can't beat it for sightseeing.
However, what truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and speak excellent English . They went out of their way to help us with maps, transportation tips (like using our credit cards for the tram), and restaurant recommendations, making us feel like family .
Be sure to spend time on the rooftop terrace! The panoramic views of the Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus are breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset . It is the perfect spot to soak in the magic of Istanbul.
- Elisa (8/5): -
- Panagiotis (10/5): - Η τοποθεσία ηταν εξαιρετική, πεντακάθαρο δωμάτιο και το προσωπικό απίστευτα ευγενικο. Ειδικά ο Omer μας κατατοπισε σε οτιδήποτε χρειαστηκαμε
- Lee (10/5): -
- Mihai (10/5): - Poziția , personalul
- Hanaan (10/5): -
- Tetyana (10/5): - Расположение отеля великолепное, буквально в шаговой доступности все достопримечательности. Номер убирали каждый день. Очень тёплый и уютный отель. Завтраки отличные и очень отзывчивый персонал.
- Lili (9/5): -
- Володин Андрей (10/5): -
- Hector (10/5): - Amazing location!
- Hanif (7/5): Locations was good, friendly staff room was so tiny no value for the money - Good location and cleaning was good the price was not really good, the room size was very small but the staff was very friendly and helpful. Staff was very helpful and friendly
- Dada Sabra (8/5): Location and statt are great! - The location is great, only 3 min walking to Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern. The staff was also very nice. They let check in early since we arrived in the hotel at 7 AM. The room is small than as advertised. It’s 20 M2 not 25 M2.
- Miroslav (10/5): Top place and staff - Stayed there for 6 nights. Clean and welcoming room. The staff were very friendly and helpful — not only suggesting a variety of activities, but also making sure that the ones we had already planned went smoothly. The icing on the cake was the stunning view from the terrace. Highly recommended.
- Marie florina (10/5): -
- _V7773XU (10/5): Very convenient - One of the best hotels. Very comfortable with a perfect location. Staff is very friendly. Rooms got cleared every day. Breakfasts are also very delicious. Will be definitely back again.
- Pelin (7/5): -
- JULIAN DAVID (1/5): Decepcionante, terrible experiencia. No vayan. - Sólo la ubicación, aunque de noche la zona no parece ser muy segura. Que ofrecen hotel 4 estrellas, pero definitivamente NO es: Tiene toallas rotas, deshilachadas, sucias/curtidas, algunas paredes de la habitación están sucias.
El servicio/inodoro tenía suciedad en su interior y olía mal. (Ver fotos abajo). El baño era muy viejo: No corresponde con 4 estrellas.
El juego de sábanas y almohadas es muy básico: no es de 4 estrellas.
El juego de toallas es decepcionante y en mal estado.
Tuvimos que salir del hotel 1 hora después del check in y buscar a medianoche otro hotel de mejores condiciones para hospedarnos (Ver foto de nosotros saliendo del hotel 12:30 am). Vaya sorpresa: encontramos un hotel de Cadena 5 estrellas, excelente ubicación, excelentes comodidades, excelente servicio y a menor precio (increíble).
Lo peor de todo: el manager/administrador (que no estaba en el lugar) no aceptó ninguna de las observaciones (a pesar q tenemos Fotos y Videos de todo). Nos trató de mentirosos. No quiso reembolsar nuestro dinero, a pesar que el recepcionista del hotel se disculpó con nosotros ante las evidencias de los hechos (bajé al Lobby y le mostré el estado de las toallas). Además el manager sugirió que yo me quería enriquecer por pedir el reembolso de mi dinero ya pagado. No es aceptable un irrespeto de esta magnitud a un huésped.
No se dejen llevar por la ubicación de este hotel: porque van a llevarse una mala experiencia. El transporte en Estambul es muy económico, así que es mejor hospedarse en hoteles de mejor calidad y con personal administrativo respetuosos!
Estoy en trámite de reclamo a Booking.com para solicitar la devolución de mi dinero.
- Ville (9/5): - Great location, small hotel with great service. Breakfast was little bit confusing, you can order warm dishes but there is no list of what is avalable.
- Patri (8/5): Todo muy bien, ubicación estupenda, y precio acorde - Alojamiento súper céntrico, a unos minutos de Santa Sofía. Con restaurantes de todo tipo cerca y a buen precio. Los trabajadores todos muy bien, mención especial a Ömar, que se portó muy bien con el grupo de 7 personas que éramos, llamando al transfer y ocupándose el personalmente de que todo estuviera bien. Un 10 para el. El alojamiento es un hotel normal, no tiene grandes lujos pero para dormir, es lugar limpio cómodo y muy céntrico. Tiene una terraza que tiene unas vistas increíbles. Y el precio la verdad que muy bien. Pues quizás el desayuno fue bastante pobre, si lo comparamos con un hotel de España, todo era bastante local y si no te gusta desayunar ese tipo de cosas, pues estás más limitado, pero siempre hay pan con mantequilla y mermelada :)).
- Lida (10/5): Excelente - Limpio,
Cómodo y acogedor muy buen precio y la ubicación espectacular, Isa el administrador una persona muy cálida y amable que te hace sentir en casa
- Abdulla (10/5): - الموظفين متعاونين جدا عمر محمد عيسى
- SORIN (10/5): Mulțumim pentru tot! - Totul , oamenii în primul rând !! Parcare, ceea ce e un mare , mare plus! Mulțumim frumos! Nimic
- Luca (10/5): Fantastico l’albergo vista mozzafiato su Santa Sofia, lo staff accogliente e ben organizzato ci torneremo sicuramente in - Posizione e pulizia su tutto Piccola pecca le stanze un po’ piccoline ma in realtà non era un peso
- carlos (10/5): Hotel familiar con un personal y ubicación inmejorable. - El trato del personal inmejorable, la ubicación perfecta, cerca de todos los lugares importantes. La terraza tiene unas vistas increíbles a la ciudad y puedes tomarte algo mientras te relajas. Sin duda lo elegiremos en una nueva visita a Estambul. Todo perfecto.
- stefano (10/5): -
- Catalin (10/5): - We had a great stay at Agora Hotel in Istanbul. The location is excellent, very convenient for sightseeing and getting around the city. Mr. Omer was extremely helpful, professional, and reliable, and he truly went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. His kindness and dedication made a big difference in our experience. We strongly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again.
- Johary (10/5): Gran experiencia! - Lo que más me gustó fue la atención del personal del hotel, totalmente comprometidos con el servicio.
- Sara (6/5): Great location and views. Firm mattress. Mixed staff helpfulness - The first two members of staff I interacted were incredibly helpful and friendly. The location and roof top views were phenomenal. Paper thin walls. The couple in the next room were very noisy until 3am. The member of staff the night before I left seemed deliberately unhelpful.
- Akalita Vi (9/5): Great service, great location, would strongly recommend. - Staff were friendly and always keen to help with what to see and recommend places which was really helpful. Everything was great except for one thing, one of the rooms was close in proximity to some construction work being carried out in the middle of the night that kept her up.
- Dmitry (10/5): - The most important part of an accommodation are people who work there, and in this hotel the people are fantastic. Always very nice and ready to help.
Everything was perfectly clean. Breakfast was good and healthy.
The view from the hotel terrace is really nice. Sunrise must be impressive there. Unfortunately we woke up too late to catch it and the weather during our stay was quite cloudy, but I can imagine how great it looks when the sky is a bit more clear.
- sheilasS2128LO (10/5): “Exceptional Hospitality that truly made my stay and my Birthday special and memorable - I had one of the best hotel experiences of my life at Agora Life Hotel.
From the moment I arrived, the staff were exceptionally attentive, kind, and professional. Every interaction felt sincere — not forced — and I truly felt cared for throughout my stay. They were always ready to help, whether it was with directions, transportation, or simply making sure I was comfortable.
The level of service stood out to me the most. The team goes above and beyond in a way that feels personal and thoughtful. It’s rare to find a hotel where you feel genuinely welcomed, respected, and looked after, and Agora Life Hotel delivered that in every way.
The atmosphere is warm, the service is outstanding, and the staff set a very high standard for hospitality. This was the best service I have ever experienced, and I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.
Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so special.
- Mehwish (8/5): - I stayed at Agora hotel for 5 days with my kids. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was amazing as walking distance to all important historical sites and tram station.
You can improve your breakfast by changing menus with a different variety for alternative days
We would love to stay again if ever visited Istanbul next time.
Thank you 😊
- Sasaki (10/5): - とても親身に色々相談に乗ってくれました。
トラブルに遭遇した際も親身になってくれたため大変頼りになりました。
テラスからの景色はとても良かった 少しエレベーターの音が聞こえたり礼拝の放送音で起きたりと壁が薄かったように感じます
- Milka (10/5): -
- David (10/5): Great location, excellent customer service and amazing views from my room. - As is customary, Turkish hospitality is one of the best and Agora Life maintained the highest standards regarding cleanliness, comfort and superior customer service. The location, proximity to historical sites and access to to a variety of food options made my stay comfortable. Property went beyond the basic requests to ensure my comfort.
- Romualdo (10/5): Eccellente - Posizione eccellente, personale molto cortese e disponibile.
Ideale per soggiornare nel cuore dell'antica Istanbul a due passi da tutti i monumenti più importanti.
Nel raggio di pochi metri c'è la possibilità di consumare qualsiasi tipo di pasto in locali molto accoglienti..
Consigliatissimo!!

- Simona (7/5): -
- Marcellus (8/5): Heerlijke vakantie gehad in Istanbul. - De locatie was ideaal. Dicht bij de Hagia Sophia, de Blauwe Moskee en Topkapi.
Personeel aan de receptie was vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Kamers waren prima, elke dag schoonmaak, nieuwe handdoeken en een fles van anderhalve liter water.
Het ontbijt was uitgebreid, maar wel 6 dagen hetzelfde.
Als geheel zeer aan te bevelen.
- Anjela (9/5): En general todo bien - Está muy céntrico, pero lo que más nos a gustado son las vistas de la terraza, el personal muy amable, un ambiente tranquilo, cerca de las paradas del autobús para el aeropuerto, metro, bus. Instalaciones del baño, no tenía donde colgar las toallas, el vater no siempre tiraba el agua. El desayuno un poco pobre
- Adriana (10/5): -
- _N9194NG (10/5): lovely views - great hotel with great views 🫶🏻😍 thanks for experience! hotel is in historic part of city, so has wonderful location:)
- James (10/5): Very good. Recommend - Balcony, staff, location, price N/a
- Robyn (9/5): - The staff were very welcoming and informative. The breakfast was good and the location of the hotel is close to many of the major sites in Istanbul
- Gert (9/5): Für Istanbul individuell eine TOPP ADRESSE - Kleines feines & liebevoll geführtes Hotel in allerbester Lage . Die Terrasse verdient dabei immer eine außerordentliche Würdigung . Frühstück sehr landestypisch & gesund . Ringsum kleine Kneipen mit türkischen Gästen !!! Kein touristisches 0815 Essen , sehr frisch & sehr gut . Sehr herzlich das Verhältnis mit den Hotelangestellten & den Menschen ringsum……wir haben uns extrem wohlgefühlt ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Nix
- Laura (8/5): Personale delizioso, posizione ottima e vista mozzafiato - Posizione e vista panoramica Un po’ datato negli arredi
- Marina (6/5): -
- Olga (8/5): - Lokalizacja, pomocny personel, czystość pokoju, śniadanie, widok z okna oceniam 10/10. Zapach w toalecie. Pobyt w hotelu oceniłabym na 10 gdyby nie zapach unoszący się ze spływu w prysznicu.
- Moldoveanu (9/5): Superb - Amplasare perfectă către toate atracțiile personalul foarte amabil și călduros o vedere senzațională plus loc de parcare cea ce este foarte foarte bine în zona asta
- Ferhat (8/5): -
- Sinead (10/5): Super location, spacious, friendly, helpful staff - The location was incredible, 2 minutes walk from the Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque, but also very close walk to the ferry port, the area was very safe. The hotel room was very clean and really bright and spacious, breakfast buffet had so much variety and was really nice. All staff were so helpful, warm and friendly, I was really comfortable and happy staying there and hotel is on a side street off main road so is very quiet. Nothing
- Dave (9/5): Nice stay - Good location. Comfortable room. Breakfast. Great views from rooftop terrace (although it was too cool/rainy to eat breakfast there) Not close to the metro.
- Tibor (10/5): Kategóriájában kimagasló szállás - Nagyon jó helyen található szálloda, az óváros minden pontja rövid sétával elérhető. A környéken számos étterem van, különböző ételekkel és árfekvésben. Rendkívül szívélyes, segítőkész személyzet. Többször megkínáltak frissítővel. A szoba egyszerű, de minden szükségessel felszerelt, van klíma, kis hűtőszekrény, széf, stb. Minden nap kaptunk egy palack vizet, érkezéskor kis gyümölcstálat is. A reggeli elég bőséges, de a meleg fogásokat külön kell kérni. A reggeli 8 órakor kezdődik, viszont a müezzin már fél 7-kor ébreszti a várost, így reggelente volt egy kis holtidő...
- Arif (10/5): Perfect stay for first time visitors to Istanbul/Sultanahment - It is all about the Location. Cannot get a better location. Just 5 min walking from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. I upgraded my room to get an excellent view of Hagia Sophia. The walk to the mosque is a straight path and no uphill climbing. The staff (Isa) took very good care of us and arranged the Airport shuttle and answered all our questions diligently. The breakfast spread was delicious. No complaints.
- Alex (9/5): Pequeño hotel muy agradable y con un personal muy amistoso - La ubicacion del hotel es muy buena; muy cerca de Santa Sofia, la mezquita Azul, la cisterna ,el gran bazar; etc; los monumentos y atracciones mas importantes se accede a ellos a pie desde el hotel. El personal muy amable; nada mas llegar nos atendio Isa; enseguida nos ofrecio un te turco (muy rico ) y mientras nos aconsejo y mostro sobre plano los lugares mas importantes cercanos al hotel y todas las opciones para tener una mejor visita de Estambul. Tambien su compañero muy amable Gokham que nos proporciono informacion de atracciones turisticas. Y su compañero Omer muy amable tambien encantador . El comedor muy pulido y con un desayuno muy variado; desde el comedor se puede acceder con ascensor a la terraza del edificio con unas vistas maravillosas, de cara a Santa Sofia y el Bosforo. En general estuvo todo muy bien.
- LaiShunDittman (7/5): - close to the city centre and spots dirty and lots of mosquitos
- Katherine (10/5): -
- lidiamar_as (10/5): Spectacular views - Spectacular views. We really enjoyed the experience of watching the sunset with the whole city as a backdrop. Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful viewpoints in all of Istanbul. We'll be back!
- D9305EFelenad (10/5): Outstanding views and nice staff - The views are unbelievable, if you go there during the sunset you will fall in love with the views! And the staff is extremely nice. I recommend!!!!
- GOGI (10/5): POZICIJA SRCE SULTAN AHMET - POLOŽAJ TOP SULTAN AHMET ZAISTA NIŠTA
- Muhammad Ovais (10/5): Good staff and nice location - Good staff
- Barry (10/5): Excellent locale, staff, and room - This was a good sized suite room, with double sinks in large bathroom, comfortable beds, ample closet space for a long stay, and quiet neighborhood. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly at all times, whether in sightseeing, food recommendations, parking, or medical needs. Breakfast was very good, with eggs cooked to order as well as a full buffet. The view from our suite room looked over the Bosphorus, Haya Sophia, and Topkapi - it was the same as the rooftop view, which is a special experience for staying at the hotel, wondrous during the day (one could bring breakfast up there) or night. Set slightly apart from the expensive area around Topkapi, etc, the location felt a bit more local, with a well stocked supermarket and produce market, plus good restaurants. It was an easy walk to the major sites in Istanbul, including the Grand Bazaar. The suite furniture is a bit worn in look, with water stains, but that did not bother us or affect the usability of everything.
- Haixia (10/5): Good experience with Agora life. - Every staff from the receptionist to the cleaning lady is friendly, helpful and warm. The location is fantastic. The view on the balcony is a surprise and bonus. The mattress is very good quality and comfortable. The room is small and does not have a fans in the bathrooms
- zubeirpatel2019 (8/5): Excellent location amazing views! - The hotel location was perfect, 5 mins walk to Hajia Sophia/ Blue Mosque, and not far from Eminonou and Spice Bazaar. The room was clean, tidy and with plenty of storage, mini fridgeand safe. Tea, coffee replenished daily with water. Amenities such as slippers, comb, sewing kit and shower cap are also provided.
The roof terrace is open 24/7 and the views were absolutely stunning. Overlooking Istanbul in the evenings and at breakfast, one of the best views I have seen in an Istanbul hotel.
The breakfast was good, but not many hot choices apart from eggs. If you are a light sleeper, you may hear the street noise, birds etc.
The hotel has a cosy and friendly atmosphere, all the staff were always helpful and the service was excellent throughout.
Thank you to all the Reception, breakfast and cleaning staff.
The only negative is that the breakfast is on the lower ground floor. If you want breakfast with the amazing views, you have to take it up the lift with the provided tray.
Definitely an excellent hotel to stay at in Istanbul.
