Stayed here again but this time with the family in a 4 person dorm. Once again Agora did not disappoint. The service, the atmosphere, facilities, tile floors, breakfast all top notch. The staff did remember me from my trip 7 months ago with friends. They gave out local hand made maps that they created. They recommended meatball restaurant which was... More

I have been in Turkey for 11 days, originally I was traveling with a friend and stayed in a hotel and I booked Agora for the final night before I flew out. Even though I wasn't originally staying at the hostel they helped me book my trip to Gallipoli. They are extremely helpful and obliging and it was never a... More

As already reviewed many, this is a brilliant place to stay. The staff is amazing and the rooftop view and breakfast on the rooftop restaurant is breathtaking. Ohran the manager is very helpful and tries to make your stay as comfortable as possible. More

We stayed in the deluxe ensuite twin room. It was a decent size and clean and comfortable. The shower had lots of hot water and great water pressure. The owner and staff were exceptional, very friendly and helpful. On our last morning we had to leave early to catch a flight and they even provided us with an early breakfast... More

We stayed here for three nights in April 2012 in a private room. It was clean, well situated, good breakfast, and the staff were superb! We didn't have any complaints regarding neighbourhood noise or from the hostel dwellers. We hadn't considered private rooms at a hostel, but Agora Guesthouse proved that it can be done, and exceptionally well at that.... More

We took a private room for two nights. The room itself is very clean and confortable. But it was extremely noisy in the evening (nearby restaurants ...). For the price, we could at least expect quiet night. The bathroom was not 100% ok, leaking shower, tab not well fixed ... But we have to say that the people there are... More

Why we loved it: -Very personable & friendly staff that went out of their way on multiple occasions to assist us. -Awesome location. Just a 5-10 minute walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace and Museum of Turkish... More

The location of this hostel is great - a 2 minute walk from the big sights (Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace) surrounding Sultanahmet Park. They provide great directions on their website, so the hostel is very easy to find upon arrival (if you arrive at the Ataturk airport, take the metro in and switch to the T1... More

This was a great place to stay. We were in the hotel part. The staff were great, the rooms were clean and it was centrally located to all of the main attractions. My only challenge was that there were quite a few younger, partying travelers staying in the connected hostel that were running up and down the stairs/passing out on... More
