Summary of traveller reviews

Agora Guesthouse & Hostel in Istanbul offers a fantastic location, close to major attractions. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and the delicious, hearty breakfast, often enjoyed on the terrace. Beds are noted as comfortable with privacy curtains. While generally clean, some recent reviews mention issues with Wi-Fi and security, with dorm rooms lacking locks and one instance of a power outage. It suits travellers looking for a central, calm stay.

This is an older style hostel set on a quiet street right near the main tourist attractions. I thought the staff were really great and the place was always kept clean.
