Lock in a great price for Agora Life Hotel – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location is amazing. Super close to the mosques, 10 minutes walking to the grand bazaar, 5 minutes walking to the mosques. Great rooftop. Could be more explored though.

Amazing view of the Hagia Sofia from our room and the staffs were very friendly and accomodating. The Room is very relaxing and clean.

Vanessa, Philippines

This hotel is located in the perfect location, just minutes away from the main sites like Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque. The tram is very close by as well as the Grand Bazaar. The hotel is located in a quiet alley; therefore, there were no noise disturbances. It also has great views of Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus strait. Mr. Isa and the staff are super professional and very kind. They were always very attentive, helpful and took the time to answer all our questions and make recommendations. I would definitely stay here again in my return trip to Turkey.

“Excellent location but the room is little too tight”

The room is little too tight for 2 persons...... it makes me feel that I was staying in a Japanese hotel. Should bring more than two luggages into the room, it will become too hard to walk in the room.
The restaurant provides ordinary breakfast in turkish style, but the food selection is simply not enough...... but one could contact the kitchen and they are more than happy to satisfy your requirements. The terrace is the perfect location for breakfast, actually that's the major reason which makes the breakfast becoming a worthy experience.

“Excellent Location, Outstanding View, Welcoming Staff”

Nothing in particular. However, as a family, we love to watch TV at end of the day. Hotel has a TV satellite with hundreds of channels, however, 90% are non-English and mostly Turkish. So, we tried to use TV HDMI to connect to our laptop to view movies (we had HDMI cable with us). HDMI is there, but the TV is programmed not to switch source (and only view Satellite channel). This is the first hotel I've crossed with such limitation on external HDMI TV source. With that said, we ended up watching on our laptop and still having a good time :-)
We booked this hotel for two reasons, the location and the view. We are a family of four, and we booked their Bosphorus suite (room for four). What encourages us to book this room is that we saw a panoramic view of the room on other websites, so exactly knowing what to expect. Our whole experience was around this room, as we spend the whole day in the city. The room has a small balcony from which you can view the Bosporus and Galata tower. This is a beautiful balcony, as we spend hours at night sitting there enjoying the scene. The balcony itself is small (table with two chairs), but still beautiful, specially at night. The hotel has a terrace that is open 24 hours, with a view on Aya Sofia and Bosphorus. All residents can enjoy there the relaxing scenery. The staff are very welcoming, always smiling. When we arrived, Mr. Issa showed us a map for the whole city, giving us directions on where to go and what to do. They even can help in connecting visitors to guides and activities. We haven't tried that, as already we had prepared a schedule for our visit before hand. For breakfast, this is a small hotel (around 16 rooms in total). So, the breakfast is good for the size of the hotel :-) Don't expect a lavish 5-star buffet on breakfast. This is not here. The breakfast is downstairs at the basement, but all the visitors can just fill their plates and have it instead on the terrace with the beautiful view. The lady at the breakfast was always kind and cheerful. She did omelette for the kids, and always prepared Turkish Tea for all of us. Kudos to her for the outstanding hospitality :-)

No objections of relevant importance. Worth the investment (for shorter or linger stays).
1) Its location. All 5 main sights are not than 500 metres dar from this hotel (walking distance). 2) Its garden rooftop - breathtaking view of Hagia Sofia on one side and Istanbul city on the other. 3) The hotel as a whole - extremely polite and helpful staff, cleanliness and feeling of safety.
