I stayed in Agora Boutique Hotel while I was visiting Istanbul for 7 days. All the staff were so kind and nice. I stayed in Room 301 and I was happy with what the hotel had to offer. It came with everything I needed during my stay. The location of the hotel and the room rate were excellent as it was so close to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The lady who served breakfast told me she prepared all the food herself and it was delicious. She made sure all food was well prepared and ready for guests to eat. She also kept the dining area clean. The terrace where the breakfast is provided has an excellent view of the ocean and a part of Blue Mosque. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Istanbul. I would definitely book this hotel again for my next visit.

Recommended accommodation in Istanbul's center. Complimentary hot breakfast. Rooms are small but very well equipped, everything is there: air conditioner, safe box, wardrobe, small fridge, tee and coffee set, free water, soap and shampoo, all kinds of good quality towels, modern TV with an incredible amount of satellite channels. Room service is daily and perfectly done, you return in the evening to a new-like room. Very good location, close to public transport (train, metro, tram and busses) biggest tourist attractions and numerous restaurants and shops. Safe neighborhood. No real coffee and black tee for breakfast, just the instant coffee powder. It would be nice if hotel guests would have a discount at one of the neighbouring grocery shops and/or restaurants.
