Great location, very clean and helpful staff. Would recommend!

Here you can find everything that u need as a traveler, strongly recomended.. Thanks for helpful and cheerful staff. Cigil, Turkey

This hostel has a nice atmosphere and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It's great waking up while enjoying the view and a great breakfast on the rooftop-terrace.

Great Hostel! Helpful Staff! Nice place to meet others travelers.

I loved this hostel. Its in a great location, has new, clean rooms and a comfortable bed. There is 24 reception so when I arrived at 4am it was perfect. I've never staying in a place with a rooftop-terrace before which was perfect in the morning and evening. As others have said, the breakfast is so good, and the place really does fell like a hotel where you share a room. I was in a 10 bedroom.

comfortable bed, great shower, clean toilet, good enough for most travellers.

It would be good if the under bed lockers locked when you put your lock on them. I found that even with a lock on you could still turn and open the door, this was the same for all lockers in the 8 bed female dorm. Other than this it was a good hostel and the staff were very helpful and friendly, it's not a party hostel as well so if you are looking for this, look else where, but it is a really relaxing place to return after a long day of walking :)

My stay here was a great experience. The staff were very helpful (Ohrun) helped me plan my trip with his contacts in other cities. The hostel is located in a quiet corner of Sultanahmet with 3 min walk to the bustling crowds of the Blue Mosque. The beds were very neat and clean and the linens were changed periodically. I had terrific wifi as well. Bathrooms were super clean and neat, I would not consider this as a hostel, but more as a 4 people staying in the same hotel room. Thank you.

Really amazing place to stay in Instambul : the location is great (in the center of Sultahnamet, close to touristic places and tram station), the staff is really helpful and nice, the rooms were clean, and the breakfast/bar on the flat roof is... just perfect.

Friendly and helpful reception from staff. One unfortunate misunderstanding over an unrecorded payment but otherwise a well run establishment. Rooms were kept clean and with good facilities.

Agora is a great place to stay! They have the BEST breakfast of anywhere I stayed in Turkey. The place is very clean and the rooftop terrace is beautiful with lots of space to hang out. They have laptops out for guests to use all day long. Its a 2 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and very close to all the other major tourist sites in Sultanahmet. The staff weren't particularly friendly or cheerful (I got the sense they don't like their job), but they were willing to help out if you asked.

I really enjoyed my stay at Agora, though nearby hostels also looked very nice. Also, I stayed on the Taksim side one night, which was fun -- don't spend all your time in Sultanamet! But if you do, Agora is a great place to stay -- very clean, nice people, good breakfast on the roof terrace overlooking the city.

The directions to the hostel are very vague but once we found it were pleasantly surprised to find it a very clean hostel where the staff were very friendly and helpful. all spoke English very well. breakfast was great too and there was plenty of it. Would definitely recommend. ask the staff about where to eat because we got sent to an area outside of the touristy part that was amazing and so cheap! location is great. very close to many of the sites

I thought the staff were lovely and most helpful. The location is excellent and my favourite part was the rooftop breakfast overlooking the ocean. :)

Agora hostel is just wonderful!! You\'ll spend some time looking for it for the first time, but after that you\'ll be just amasing about your choice. Nice beds, clean rooms, excellent restrooms and showers, helpfull stuff. The stay was just greate!

Great hostel with a perfect location. The staff is excellent, the rooms and bathrooms clean and the roof top amazing :) Only one suggestion: it would be useful to have some reading lights next to the beds. Since there is only one in the ceiling, it needs to be on, as soon as the first person wakes up and the last one goes to sleep. Besides that, suuuuper :D

From start to finish, I loved every minute of this place. The staff, the breakfast, the travelers I met.. everything!

Very well located close to the major touristic spots. Bunk beds are very comfortable. Buffet breakfast on the terrace with the view on the Bosphorus is extraordinary in the morning.

I stayed in a double room with bathroom and it was spacios, clean and with nice views to the sea. Staff at agora Guess house were very friendly and helpfull. We enjoyed the breaksfast in the terrace, nice buffet and nice atmosphere. This guess house is situated very close to the Blue Mosque and it is a very nice street full of restaurants also a few minutes. I will recomend this guess house to all my friends who are planning to visit such a beautiful city as Istanbul.

Hostel is very well located. Staff is very helpful and place is very clean. Breakfast is great and the terrace gives you a great view of the sea. I would recommend them to place a bed lamp in the bed so we can use it during the night if we need light. Also, I would provide more security to the rooms. I felt like it was always very easy to get in to the hotel if someone wanted too. Apart from that, great place!! Great value for money!!
