    A small hotel with 20 rooms totally. The room was small but it was ok for the price.

    Great location, closed to everything. Awesome view on the rooftop. And the rooftop was open 24 hours. The room was clean. The breakfast was good.

    The noise level within the hotel. As the staircase is all open and central, you can hear everyone climbing up and down. The doors were also heavy and were quite loud when they closed, especially when you are sharing the hotel with inconsiderate travellers who don’t seem to care about being quiet for other people. NOT the hotel or staff’s fault though!!

    The location was fantastic, close to Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque as well as trams. The beds were very comfortable but the pillows could have been a bit firmer. The staff were all wonderful and although the breakfast wasn’t what we were used to, they were more than willing to make fresh omelettes for us daily.

    The TV worked sometimes but the connection wasn't good.

    Amazing location, good service for both info and cleaning. Cozy room with snacks and daily 1,5 litre bottles of water for drinking- so convenient that we didn't have to buy it from the store!

    Nothing comes to mind.

    The location was excellent. Very quiet. About a 15 minute walk to Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar or cruise docks. Very friendly and helpful staff who spoke good English and were always on duty. Helped us make restaurant reservations and negotiate a price with a taxi. We were in the Sophia suite on the top floor with huge picture windows on two sides which looked out on the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and the Golden Horn and in the distance the Bosphorus.

    The staff were super friendly and helpful and their hospitality was overwhelming. The breakfast options were great with fresh local vegies, homemade pastries, authentic Turkish condiments and a lot more! The location was great, with main attractions and businesses for shopping and groceries within walking distances. In fact it was our second time staying at Agora Life. It was just a superb experience and we'll definitely stay there again just for the service and location!

    Nothing not to like. Everything was perfect

    Location, location, location! The hotel was within walking distance from all the major sites and tram station. It was super convenient when everything is accessible within minutes. The rooms were clean and comfortable. If you are lucky you will get a room with fantastic views of the Ayasofya mosque and the Bosphorus.

    Decor is a bit tired and could do with updating. Lack of attention to detail with fixtures. There isn’t a socket/switch that is straight and lots of fixtures are loose. Definitely needs a refurb.

    First of all the staff are all so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The hotel is clean and the cleaners do an amazing job. I didn’t eat in the restaurant but the food always smelt incredible coming up from the restaurant. Location is perfect. Within a 5 minute walk of a major sightseeing hub but just off a main road so you don’t get the traffic and street noise. Great bathroom and very comfy bed.

    The hotel was absolutely spotless; everything was always so clean. The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered. They were so helpful and kind. Our flight got canceled and we arrived a day later, and they provided us with food, a prayer mat, drinks, and everything we needed. They were fantastic! The breakfast was bountiful, and it was so delicious. The hotel is ideally located (near so many mosques and the Topkapi Palace) I highly recommend this hotel to anyone!
