The hotel is right at the heart of the city within walking distance of all the main sites with plenty of good food options including street food directly outside which was excellent.

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.
