This was the best hospitality I had experienced in all my travels Agora life hotel is very clean staff members very friendly and helpful with all information and suggestions to make our stay comfortable thank you all. Best view to ayasofya-I Kebir camii and Bosporus
This is a great hotel for the price they charge. The free buffet breakfast is wonderful. The rooms are cleaned every day and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It is in GREAT location 5 minutes by foot to Sultanamet square and the tram. 10 minutes to the Grand Bazaar. Third time in Istanbul and this is my go to hotel. Very highly recommended.
Fabulous experience here! Excellent,professional and friendly staff. Great location with spectacular view of the city from the rooftop terrace. This place exceeded all our expectations. Easily walked to all major attractions in a day
We stayed in Agora life hotel for 5 nights and i will say it was a wonderful experience. The staff were ever so sweet and helpful when approached. The hotel is a 4 star hotel and not so extravagant but what i really appreciate the most is that everything you need was there like the smallest of things like cotton buds and slippers, which you probably woudnt get from other 4 star hotels. The hospitality from front staff to back office staff was so friendly. Breakfast could be better as it was the same cold breakfast everyday. Location was perfect as it was walking distance from most of the tourist sites and even more bonus, only 10 minutes away from the local tram! Thank you for making our stay wonderful Agora Life Hotel.
We stayed in the Bosphorus suite, which quickly became a cherished, quiet and breezy sanctuary from the heat and noise of the city. We particularly enjoyed both our private little deck, and the rooftop observation deck, which provided stunning 360-degree views of the city. The hotel is excellently situated, within walking distance to all attractions, and the staff seemed sincerely eager to help out with whatever we might need.
We loved this hotel. Central location with an amazing view from the terrace. The best thing about the hotel is how friendly and welcoming the staff are. Nothing seems too much for them.
Everyone was wonderful, special thanks to Ömer and Yasin!
Fenerbahce forever! :-D
Excellent location, walking distance from places of interest, super friendly staff, I forgot the names, but all of them, I got upgraded to a room with terrace and view, I couldn’t ask for more :) I would definitely recommend this place
The room had a spectacular view of the Bosphorus Stait, the Bosphorus Bridge and the Galatea Tower among others. The Hotel was in walking distance to the restaurants, shopping and the port.
Amazing buffet breakfast. Housekeeping made the bed everyday. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. They even helped to fix my I Phone when it locked up! Even the WiFi is good. Excellent hotel. My second stay here. Close to all the sights. Great location close to a tram line. My go to hotel for Istanbul
I had a lovely stay here. The location is terrific! You can walk to all the sites in Old Town. The room was nice and I had a nice little balcony. One of the best parts was the AMAZING rooftop terrace. The view is just stunning!
