Great place if you're staying in Sultanahmet area. By far the best breakfast ever in any hostel. Laptops are there for blazing fast e-access (it might help if the keyboard settings were in English though :))

The common bathroom is nice! I love the separate rooms for toilets instead of stalls. I can fart in peace and none will be wiser. The staff is friendly and provided good recommendations for restaurants, sights, etc. Included breakfast is decent, can't go wrong with fruits, cereal, bread, cheese, and slices of cold cuts. To wash it down, juice, milk, tea, and coffee are provided. Dormitories are clean with linens and lockers provided and I don't expect/want anything more than that.

VERY clean. Best showers & bathroom I've used in months. Breakfast was awesome. Only bad thing was that the dorm room was underground, and so it smelt a bit like mold. But whatever :-)

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The free internet and laptops were a god send as it rained most of the time I was their. My only complaint is the directions they gave me to find the place were a bit confusing.

I had a great time here. The hostel is at walking distance from Blue Mosque and Topkapi. The rooftop with a view on 'Asia' at the other side of the Bosporus is great for having breakfast as well as drinking. The staff is very friendly.

I stayed in a single room which was perfectly clean and quiet and had a view on Bosporus. The roof terrasse is great for breakfast and meeting people. The guesthouse is a 3 minutes walk away from Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. I would definetely come back!

Stayed here for 4 nights in October 09. Very new hostel hence everything was still in good condition. Very clean. We stayed in the 4 people room which almost felt like your own room. Staff were very friendly and free WIFI was much appreciated.

Agora was a clean modern hostel with friendly helpful staff. It was the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in ! It has a social area on the roof where they serve a great breakfast. The shower/bathroom/ facilities were fantastic some of the best in Turkey. You really could't ask for a better hostel, I've stayeed in many hostels around the world and this definately goes into my top 5 !

If you catch the travel desk count yourself supre lucky. On arr?val we were told that ?t was ava?lable 10-2, next day ?t started at 2 and when we arr?ved maybe 3.30 ?t was gone already. Th?s would be f?ne ?f the staff were w?ll?ng to answer quest?ons ?nstead, but they were less than keen. Also we were leav?ng early and found ourselves locked ?n, the recept?on?st hav?ng wandered off. Otherw?se clean and good locat?on.

The place was clean and well organized, but we were unlucky and got the 12 bed room in the basement without any windows- ie:smelly and stuffy

Unfortunately we were assigned to the one dorm without a single window. Very sticky and humid. Otherwise good. Clean, nice rooftop view and full breakfast.

The best clean place i ever stayed and the breakfast is included in the price i counted 22 items may be more, you have to be there to appreciate the place and location and it is only a stones throw from the Blue Mosque-Aya Sofia and Topcopi Palace,certainly stay there again.
