The hotel was very quaint and quite lovely. The staff was outstanding in every way from handling problems to giving great local advice to even running after us to retrieve the room key that we took accidentally. The breakfast was very nice and the location was outstanding only a few minutes from each of the tourist highlights of Istanbul. The view from our room was terrific and the room was quite spacious and comfortable.

Our stay at Agora Life was excellent. Our room was clean and comfortable. The rooftop terrace was truly a highlight. Breakfast was included with a large buffet as well as cooked-to-order options. It was a great way to start the day. I would be remiss not to mention the staff on the front desk. They were exceptionally helpful and assisted us in arranging transportation and tours, as well as providing support for the use of public transit. Kudos to the team! This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of many major attractions. Shopping and restaurants are readily available in the neighbourhood.
