Reviews of Agora Guesthouse

22 July 2011 Jonathan would recommend this property

Liked: The best thing is the view when having the free breakfast in the morning - shockingly good. The location is ideal, on a quiet street, but two seconds walk to the Arasta Bazar and then onto the main square in Sultanahmat. I went back a couple of weeks later, and the guy remembered me and remembered my name until I left, love the personal touch.

Disliked: There isn't a huge amount of bathroom facilities, but it never became an issue and there was always a shower free when you needed it.

Liked: First of all, the staff is amazing and incredibly helpful and reliable. When you arrive, they give you very precise information of all the main attractions and how to get there. Location is great, everything is in walking distance and the Sultanahmet tram station is only 5 minute walk away. The hostel is very clean overall, breakfast is delicious and filling and the lockers in the dorms were proper sized. I would absolutely stay here another time (and I will). Definitely worth the money!

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: The staff was really friendly and the location was great

Disliked: The lack of bathrooms can be a problem during "rush" hours. The seizure inducing lights in the bathrooms were really annoying. They kept turning on and off after just 30sec; often while I was still taking a shower or on the toilet. In the showers this meant you had to open the shower door, get out and wave your hands about so the light will turn on again. Again, it was really really annoying. They will save far more energy by leaving signs asking people to turn off the lights themselves (it takes more energy to constantly be turning them on and off).

Liked: This was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. The staff were amazıngly frıendly, laıd back and always ready to help, it was in a fantastic locatıon- so close to the Blue Mosque and ın the heart of Sultanahmet. I loved the rooftop terrace where you could sıt at nıght, meet people and watch the cıty at nıght. Great to have free use of computers upstaırs, the free breakfast was delıcıous and huge, and rooms had lockers. Amazıng for 15 euro!

Disliked: Nothıng.

Liked: Everything! It was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast is great. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Directions to the place were very good except for describing where the funicular in Taksim Square is, but we found that eventually, after a fun, inadvertent detour. We also met some really interesting people there, both young and older people.

Disliked: The lockers are under the beds and are made of metal that is very noisy when you're putting things in or taking them out, which was a problem when others were sleeping.

18 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I spent four nights in total in Agora and could not fault the service. The staff in particular were so friendly, helpful and welcoming that I would love to return. The hostel is very clear, the food generous and the prices very reasonable. It was a real little find...

Disliked: My only negative about the place is the location. It is along a very built up, touristy part of the city which felt quite isolated from the rest of the city.
