Guest Reviews

• Johan (10/5): Prisvärt och centralt - 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.
• Sumiko (10/5): 立地良い最高のゲストハウス - どこに行くにも便利な立地、清潔な部屋と充実した機能、美味しい食事、スタッフの対応、ツアーやハマム、送迎等のオプションサービスありと、居心地が良く延泊したほどです。一つお願いがあるとすれば、テラスのコンセントはマルチプラグ対応だった様に、各部屋にも一つあると更に便利なので検討お願いします
• Eduardo (10/5): Perfeito - Incrível, equipe super gentil, superou as expectativas
• santosh (10/5): - Keep as it is
• Samuel (10/5): - Great location. Lovely rooms
• Ron (10/5): Brilliant stay - Had a great time hotel was clean and tidy staff were excellent had a great time hotel was near all places would definitely recommend 😎
• Kamran (10/5): - 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.
• Amir (10/5): - 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.
• Shilpa (10/5): - Freshly made hot breakfast, clean property, friendly and helpful staff
• Stylianos (8/5): - Everything was perfect but room cleaning can be better. Also they never changed towels during our stay
• J G (8/5): - The staff are highly helpful. When faced with a small issue the owner and staff found solutions. My room with windows opening onto the courtyard was great. Basic breakfast, which was good for me with fruits cheese eggs and coffee
• Anna (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay, staff are really friendly, welcoming and helpful. Facilities are clean, bed is comfortable and breakfast is good. Thank you
• el habib (8/5): - accueillant
• Nassim (10/5): - Merci énormément pour tout vous êtes très agréable et à l’écoute
• Bouchra (10/5): - Un très beau petit Hôtel, très propre, personnel magnifiques. Un grand Merci à vous.
• Mustapha (10/5): - L'accueil du personnel est parfait. IIs se plient pour nous satisfaire. Bravi.
• Tuce (10/5): - 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 Jeton und Tugce Krasniqi
• Soumeya (10/5): - El personal
• Alexia (10/5): - Petit hôtel idéalement situé dans le quartier historique d'Istanbul. Super accueil!
• Karla (10/5): - Excelente ubicación y muy amable el personal
• GEORGIOS (10/5): - Walking distance to Agia Sofia, clean and quiet room, safe neighbourhood and very friendly staff.
• Kadir (10/5): - Çok güzel karşılama ve ağırlama oldu. Bir sonraki İstanbul seyahatimizde kesinlikle tercih edeceğimiz bir otel . Odalar konforlu ve gayet kullanışlı, merkezi noktada ve fiyatına göre performansı fazlasıyla iyi. Herkese gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye ederim 🙏 Herşey icin teşekkürler Agora Guesthouse ailesi.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful rooftop terrace. Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia are visible.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This place is PERFECT. A spotlessly clean and charming guesthouse, centrally located and within walking distance of the key sights in beautiful Istanbul. The rooms are clean and modern, with all the essentials and plenty of sunlight. The breakfast is huge and tasty, consisting of eggs and hot and cold local mezzes, cheeses, veggies and fruits. And the views from the terrace are among the best in Istanbul, with mosques, sea, and a panorama of Istanbul on hand. What really sets this place apart is the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner, who helped me get a Covid test and print about a dozen documents With short notice. I normally don’t write reviews, but this place is outstanding!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Superbe hôtel où nous avons passé un excellent séjour , durant cette difficile période de covid le personnel a tout mis en œuvre pour être à nos petit soins nous sommes vraiment heureux d’avoir séjourné à l’hôtel Agora et faisons une grande dédicace à Deniz un amour de chien en tout cas je recommande les yeux fermés cet hôtel ❤️
• Imogen (10/5): - Great stay at Agora guesthouse. Very attentive, helpful staff, including Denise the golden retriever!
• aydin (10/5): mukemmel - guleryuzlu personel. anlayisli resepsiyon. 24 saat acik resepsiyon. cok temiz odalar guzel bir teras. gercekreb gersey cok iyiydi. tesekur ederim
• Aya (10/5): - 口コミどおり日本人が多かった。 スタッフはみんなフレンドリーで楽しく会話ができます！困ったときも親切に対応してくれます。 朝食も美味しく、立地も抜群です！ 可愛い犬がいます！
• Verified traveler (10/5): It’s just like my home - It’s my best hostel I have ever stayed. Especially staffs are so kind. They handled me like brother. So clean, Safety, nice breakfast and cute dog.
• Meli (10/5): - Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt, daher in Ordnung!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 評価通り弱点のないゲストハウスでした！朝8時頃着いてもチェックインさせてくれたし、ちょっと迷ってたら向こうから声掛けをしてくれます。6ヶ月の犬がいますが、すごく人に慣れていて可愛いです。 イスタンブールにきたらここに泊まっておけば間違いないです。
• Verified traveler (10/5): とても居心地のいい宿です！ - アヤソフィアやブルーモスクから近く、アクセスがいいです。近くにあるレストランは観光地価格なので、食事は宿の上にあるレストランか少し離れた場所がお勧めです。 サービスの朝食はビュッフェ形式でとても美味しかったです！ シャワーは複数ありカギをかけれる個室で、服をかけられる場所があり間にカーテンがあるので快適でした。ただ、サンダルは必要です。ドライヤーも使えます。 ドミトリー宿泊でしたがベッド下に収納スペースがあり広々しています。私の収納スペースはノブが壊れていてカギがかけられなかったですが、バッグパックにロックをかけていたので個人的には問題なかったです。 宿の前から空港まで送迎シャトルバスもあります。金額は個人で行った方が大分安いです。所要時間が30分以上短縮できるので時間がない・乗り換え等不慣れな方にはおすすめです。 チェックアウト後の時間にはスタッフの方がきちんと全フロアを清掃していましたし、レセプションの方の印象が非常によく、とても居心地のいい宿でした。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 部屋が明るくてとても綺麗だしオシャレです。 - ２泊しましたが、デラックスルームにアップグレードしてくださってとても良かったです。部屋は明るくて綺麗でとても快適でした。 次回、イスタンブールに行くことがあればまた利用したいと思います。 テラスからの景色も最高です。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Located near Sultanahmet, the Blue Mosque, and the tramline that allows you to range across this magnificent city, Agora is a lovely hostel with welcoming, helpful staff and cute dog. Complimentary breakfast at the rooftop dining area and balcony was a great way to start each day. Facilities were very good. Agora is an excellent choice for the price you will pay.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The booking was misleading, i had booked a room for two when arrived they told me its a room to be shared and room for two are booked the leading road is very narrow only one car can pass, and it's two way for a new person it is very complicated. They refused to cancel and refund.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hospitality and kindness. Owner has fascination of connecting people together. Food there were also good, upon your request u will have nice dinner. 一言で、このホステルでよかった！ご飯は美味しいし、オーナーは人と人とを結びつけるのが得意です。素敵な思い出が出来る素晴らしい宿でした。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 毎日の丁寧な清掃、フレンドリーなスタッフさん、広いドミトリー部屋、気持ちの良いルーフトップテラス、非常に快適でした。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 早餐的露台很舒服，房間也舒服
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I’ve been traveling to Istanbul several times in the past 3 years and I would book a hotel to stay in. This time I decided to try a new experience and this guesthouse was really great. Clean and cozy facilities with nice rooftop restaurant, friendly staff available 24/7, and great location approximately 6 min walk from Blue Mosque and Sultanahmet station. I really enjoyed staying here! Very easy recommendation.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Schoon en alles werkte naar behoren; douche, airco etc. Ontbijt was goed. Kamer was erg klein en had onvoldoende opbergruimte. Geen van de kamers hadden een balkon, zoals wel op de site stond. Enkele kamers hadden een openslaande deur, zgn "frans balkon".
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Thanks kadir and Yusuf! All very clean, kind people good breakfast!!
• Mohammed (8/5): Memorable First Stay @ Agora! - Stayed in a clean and comfortable newly refurbished room with nice decor. The space was of a decent size, and internet worked well too. Breakfast did lack a little variety, but was sufficient and tasty. Location is also very convenient being in close walking distance to several famous attractions as well as shops and restaurants. The staff were also welcoming and helpful, assisting us with luggage storage and a later checkout. I want to make a special mention of Ms Mai who quickly arranged special delivery of a bag to the airport we had accidentally left behind. Thanks again!
• YI-HSUAN (10/5): 會再入住的地方 - 住宿地點走到許多景點都非常的近，附近的生活機能也很好，飯店櫃檯人員及老闆都很友善待人，唯一的小缺點可能就是油漆味太重了，很像剛粉刷後未退散的味道，房間提供的沐浴乳瓶也沒有填裝新的沐浴乳，幸好自己有帶盥洗用品，整體而言是很不錯的。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 日本人女性のスタッフさんがいてコミュニケーションしやすいです。気になったのは、宿泊予約済みの日程を変更する連絡をした際に、返信がなかなかこなかったり間違った日程で認識されていたりして、不安になり少しストレスでした。チェックイン時も変更の認識がそのとき受付されてる方になかったようで少し手間取りました（そのときは日本人スタッフの方がお休みでした）。それ以外での部分では格安で快適に滞在でき、満足です。ありがとうございました。
• John (10/5): Best Hostel Guesthouse anywhere in the World ***** - Arrived in Istanbul new Airport 4am phoned Agora guesthouse about 06;am The response was to encourage me to get a taxi and come right over. After storing my luggage they asked me to stay for breakfast at 8am! All thanks to AdA who seems to be a highly trained Chef! An amazing array of fruit, breads, eggs, even hot pancakes! From the chambermaids to management everyone played their part with an enthusiasm I had never experienced before, This has to be the best run Guesthouse / Hostel I have stayed in anywhere in the World no one else has come close to delivering the complete package of going the extra mile like Agora in Istanbul! Nothing was to much for them! The cleaning lady provided clothes hangers for my own use without me asking! Yousef carried out his duties with great skill at reception no matter how many questions were being asked of him by numerous guests from all over the world. For example I had asked the best way to get to the New International Train Station that had just recently opened. Not easy giving directions when the starting point is in Europe and the Train Station is in Asia. But zYousef put me in touch with the correct member of Staff who wrote down precise instructions on how to get there the mot
• Fedot (10/5): - Все отлично
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The services given during breakfast by the two lady servers were excellent.
• galip (2/5): Türkseniz Mağdur Olabilirsiniz - bu otelde üç gecelik yer almıştım. ancak bir gece kalabildim. çünkü bu otel ingilizce bilmeyen türk aileleri için uygun değilmiş. .çünkü ingilizce yazan şartları anlayamdığım için yanlış oda tercihi yapmışım ve bu durumu da otele varınca öğrenebildim. üstelikte iptal edilemeyen rezervasyon olduğu için hem madden ve hem de manen madur olduk.
• DJILALI (10/5): la joie de vivre - agrable
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Though my arrival was midnight due to flight, reception welcomed very warming. I could relax pretty well. Thank you so much.
• Riza (10/5): Agora Guesthouse Hostels - We had an amazing stay in Agora Guesthouse Hostels. Good location near tourist spots in Sultanahmet, friendly staff and clean rooms.
• Moncef (2/5): - Misleading advertisement, staff are not friendly and not accommodating. Not worth your money. I don’t recommend it.
