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.
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.
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

We had a wonderful stay, staff are really friendly, welcoming and helpful. Facilities are clean, bed is comfortable and breakfast is good. Thank you
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!
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.
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.
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.
