Hotel Agan - Istanbul

The hotel location and room quality was great for the price - no complaints. My only issue was initial reception when I was told my room was not available - the electricity was being repaired. I was taken to another hotel; supposedly for one night. The other hotel was a disgrace. Dirty and literally holes in the wall; located right next to the main train station. Without AC, the window needed to stay open all night. Right as I stepped into the room a train sounded its whistle - as if I didn't already know I wasn't going to stay at this place. Back to the hotel and suddenly a room is available, they just need to move someone. Apparently the someone was a friend. I saw him as he left the room and again the next morning sleeping on pillows in the hotel lobby. Excellent hotel for the price; just make sure you get your room

I'd like to kindly thank all personal for making our 6-night stay simply excellent. Room was very nice, clean and quiet with air-conditioner. Breakfast was very tasty every day, and staff was friendly and helpful. I stayed in sultanahmet-sirkeci areas quite many time and Agan was the best place to stay. I will definitely come back to this hotel.

Good hotel. Many of the amenities were questionable: Wi-Fi did not work in my room (302) so I used the hotel PC or my laptop on the ground floor. A/C worked late at night - very well. Refrigerator was housed in a cabinet which made it warm up, and didn't cool very well. Having said that, I was still not disappointed. The problems were minimal, and the fact that this hotel was so near to all of the sights and that it was conveniently located to almost everything you could possibly need or want made up for any other issues I might have had. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

I wish all hotels were as good value for money as the Agan.

Congratulation to new Agan hotel ; rooms are now more spacious, bathrooms much better, breakfast in not in cave anymore, and is Ok. Top location.

The hotel is an excellent place to the main attractions: Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Bazaar, and the Castle, ect... within walking distance. However, the hotel is not there to make their guesses feel protected. If you're asking how to walk to those main attractions, they are trying to sell you a walking tour. The hotel is good for the price paid.

Very helpful and welcoming staff. The location is very convenient for major sightseeing. With its price and the service it offered, it is really optimum.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food downstairs was great, and chilling out on the cushions outside was a highlight of my evenings. The location was good, walking distance to most places. Only downside was the rooms were not as clean as i would have liked but still livable.

Hotel très très bien situé dans le viel Istanbul et à proximité (à pied) des transports et de Eminonu (gare fluviale) Possibilité de diner sur place sur couffin très agréable Chambre pour 4 Très bon rapport qualité prix

The hotel was generally ok just to spend the night as it has the basic facilities. We were on the 1st floor and it was very noisy from the surrounding bars/cafes. Hotel staff were very helpful and accomodating and even prepared us a complimentary bfast way before bfast commencement time, as we had to catch an early flight.

Hotel is located near touristic sites. A lot of restaurants near (in the hotel too) Easy and cheap to reach from airport by subway/tramways.

Ottimo compromesso per vedere una capitale europea in modo comodo e con poca spesa. Per quel che riguarda lo shopping al gran bazar consiglio sempre di contrattare e cominciare a farlo dalla metà del prezzo proposto altrimenti si rischiano grosse fregature!

Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo, personale gentilissimo. Pulito. Ottima posizione per girare a piedi nella zona più turistica. Istanbul incantevole città, però grande leggenda per gli acquisti e il cibo. Non fa per me contrattare ore, sconsiglio grand bazar per acquisti brutta roba e prezzi altissimi. Il cibo varia poco, hammam cagaloglu per le donne assolutamente da provare.

Hotel Agan ıs located ın a prıme spot for enjoyıng the bazaars and varıous attractıons ın Old Istanbul. The breakfast ıs fantastıc, and the staff ıs very frıendly and helpful.

Excellent location, at walking distance from the most famous attractions. Public transportation is also conveniently located, about 200 m away. Rooms are very small but they are worth the money and they are very clean. Personnel speaks a very good english and they are very supportive.

The location is the great thing about this hotel; less than a mile from most of the major sights and very close to some terrific restaurants (we particularly recommend the Enjoyer). The staff are friendly, especially the younger ones, but overwhelmed and seem to do 24hr shifts. Only one teenage girl spoke any English at all. The management are cheerfully inept - on arrival we were shunted off to a neighbouring hotel for the night as our room wasn't ready, and the cleaner was a law unto herself. There is internet connection, but the keyboard was scrubbed clean of characters, which about sums the place up. It's friendly but chaotic, so if it's a smooth holiday you want you should go elsewhere; but if you don't mind the madness and plan on being out in the city from dawn to dusk, as we were, then it works.

Very good localisation street quiet

Basic budget hotel. Friendly helpful service.

We spent 6 days in Istanbul - 3 nights in Hotel Agan, and the last night we had a reservation there too; but the hotel was overbooked. They promised another hotel (Best Nobel Hotel)in the near, and in the same price. It was very good quality in that price too.

It was really beautiful stay in this hotel. We did not expect something really luxurious, but for that price it was great. And situated just in the heart of the city.

Pluses: + It is near (10 min walk) to the main attractive places in Istanbul - Sultan Ahmet, Ayasofya and so on. + It is very near (3 min walk) to one of the tram stations. Minuses: - They don't like credit cards and ask you to pay in cash. - Their exchange rate for euro-turkish lira was high and unfair. - There is a building construction on-going just besides the hotel which spoils view from the window.

The only problem is the shower, over the toilet seat, the rest is excellent, and it is very clean, and the people are very friendly.

Fabulous location- can walk to most sites,Cheerful, helpful and friendly staff,good free breakfast(avoid the synthetic juices). Take yellow cab from Ataturk Airport and pay ONLY as per meter (30 YTL daytime fare- Gunduz).No need to pre-book taxis.

Very good restaurants in the hotel and next-door. Close (10-20 mins walk) to all major historical interesting points i old city. We really enjyed the hotel and the old-town. Istaklal was disappointing.

Everything ok Hotel situated in a nice area with restaurants, bars, crowd...maybe the street is too much noisy but you can shut the window!

Good situation but the surroundings are very noisy because of underground works right in front of the hotel and even at night .

Hotel managment have done his best to not acept credit card and they demanded to have a great plus for paying with card! They have a public bar in the first floor that's very noisy. Breakfast is absolutelly horrible. Better chose the other hotels that are in the same street because the area is very well located to visit town.

Great location, small clean rooms. Wireless internet worked great. Included breakfast fine.

We stayed for four nights in Hotel Agan. The service was friendly, the room was clean (cleanded every day). For two perons we had three beds. That was the reason, why the room seemed pretty narrow. Breakfast was okay. The most important sights can be reached within 10 minutes walk. For the airport shuttle from airport to the hotel they charged 25 € for two persons. Back there was a collective shuttle from several hotels that costed 10 YTL per Person (about 5 €). So I wonder why that price didn´t worked for the first ride. All in all a nice stay.

The hotel and the people who works there are fantastic. Is so closed to the most important places in Istambul.

Service was generally excellent,, but we requested a wake-up call at 3:00 Am and never got it. We carry an alarm for that reason. Loved the location. Were surprised at the great breakfast provided, thought the employees were very solicitous. Couldn't believe the free internet provided. All in all, we would stay there again.

Welcoming and friendly, a few had trouble with english (ask for a remote control for the air conditioner.)

This hotel is a very good option in the area, and provide clean and nice rooms for a very reasonnable rate.

Hotel employees don't speak english. Rooms are small but clean. In room Toilet was very small and wc was directly under the shower. Public area where not so clean. Very cheap Hotel in a good position.

The location of the hotel is great if you stay there for holiday. It's near (walking distance) all the great sights of Istanbul! If you are on a business trip, I would not stay there as the standard of the hotel is not appropriate (no internet etc.).

Excellent hotel. Bathrooms are one room with no separate shower but the price and quality of rooms make up for this small detail.

Budget hotel with a good location (near most of the major attractions and next to many restaurants.) Pretty good value, although it must be said that it is strictly a budget hotel.

This hotel was awesome! The staff was so fun and friendly. I would go back there any day!!

Clean, comfortable hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location amongst the best in Istanbul with Tram station and main rail station 100m away. Blue Mosque/Topkapi Palace/St Sophia/Sultanahmet short walk or 1 tram station away.

Rooms are very simple although very clean nevertheless. WC is small but hot running water all the time. Staff is kind and welcoming and the breakfast is also good. I would rate as excellent value for money.

Fisrt time at the hotel. The quality is excellent for the price. So is the location, quite close to the main monuments, close to the tramways which connects quickly to the Taksim commercial area. Good breakfast, very useful internet connection. I would advice credit cards acceptance.

The rooms were small but in excellent condition and clean. The bed was comfortable. The only complaint I have is the bathroom without a shower stall or curtain. The bathroom was clean, but it would be better to not have the shower spraying into the whole bathroom. The price was excellent when considering it included a TV (with limited satellite channels) and continental breakfast. The breakfast was modest but consistent. The staff were polite and helpful. I would stay here again. The hotel is in a neighborhood with a variety of inexpensive restaurants and cafes, and it is close to the tram and many popular tourist sites.

A good value budget hotel-welcoming staff, ok breakfast. No complaints. Would go back there.

Gran chollete en el centro de todo el mogollón. Además, cerca del puerto también, para ir de crucero por el Bósforo o al lado asiático. Valoración general calidad/precio: estupendo!

Vraiment contente d'avoir choisi cet hôtel. Un excellent rapport qualité /prix. Les chambres sont petites mais propres. Sa situation est parfaite. Accueil très sympa. Prête à y retourner!

When you like to take a shower you have to use the hole bath, but the shower is excellent! We didn't get new towels, not 1 in 3 days. Never the less, we would like to take it again

This Hotel is has a good location but it´s small, old and a little bit dirty

Very low price and very low quality. The bathroom has a lot of things broken, the shower has no door or curtain so, when used, the bathroom gets wet everywhere. Very noisy because of the voices of guests in the rooms around. The room and the bathroom were really very small. We didn't understand the high rate of this hotel on the Internet page!

Bad services for breakfast, cleanliness of the windows and toiletdustbin. Payment of breakfast not provided, smoking in public areas Bedsheets to small

For a four-day stay in Istanbul with two children (6 and 9)this hotel was a very good choice, the rate between the price, the cleanliness of rooms, services and the hotel location was already very high by itself but it was increased by a very nice welcoming and devotion of the staff of the hotel. Breakfast were also a nice moments. Most of the touristic places of Istanbul are in a walking distance (even for children), lot of restaurants around the hotel with reasonalble prices. I recommand AGAN hotel to people who wants to travel with their children at a low price with a good quality of services (e.g. internet available for free in the lobby of the hotel, air conditioning in the room,...). The room was may be a little bit narrow for 4 people but was largely sufficient for the time we had to spend in it, and it was our choice to share the room with children. I would return in this hotel if I have to plan a holiday travel to Istanbul.

The Hotel is located in the center of Old Europe-Stanbul(the best part of the city). Is excellent location. You can go wacking to the Blue Mosquite,Topkapi Palace or to the Pier to take the ferry to Asia-Istanbul. The train-metro is 1 block away. If I go again I will stay there again.

It is a great small hotel located in a very nice area in Istanbul. The hotel is really very functional and clean. I had a double room. Rooms are small but still functional.

Excellent location in Old Stanbul(European side) walking distance from Blue Mesquite and Saint Sophia Museum, Topkapi Palace, Metro-train one block away, good breakfast, good attention, good price.

Television and internet did not work stuttle transport to hotel overcharged 40 Euro paid less than halve 20 Euro at other organisation hotel very noisy

A taxi to the hotel during the day should cost around 25 YTL (14€)

The only bad comment is we did not realise until we went to pay, that there would be a sizeable surcharge (over £20) for paying by credit card.However they were extremely helpful and would go again

The best hotel in istanbul! air condition in the rooms! :) delicious breakfast, free internet access, nice view through the window, great location, i will come back there for 100 % and i recommend it to all of you!

Excellent breakfast small terrace free ınternet aır conditioning

Great place to stay if you are looking for a budget hotel close to everything in Istanbul. I would for sure go back to the same hotel if I make it to Istanbul again

We had trouble finding the hotel (our fault) and a member of staff came on foot to pick us up from a shop we had managed to phone from. That was great service. Also, our room was serviced and clean towels supplied. It was also the only time in Turkey we were given hand towels,(we pick cheaper hotels)so we were very impressed with the service. The location was very good, handy to the tram, spice market, Galatea Bridge and Bosphorus trip with many cheap friendly restaurants nearby. And a short tram trip or walk to other famous sights.

Excellent position, good rate between price/quality, but no terrace showed in old presentation, very expensive parking in front and NO CREDIT CARD, with hight change rates between euros (booking) and local currency (cash).

The hotel is very good and personnel is very kind. unfortunately there was a misunderstanding because we arrived one day later and we called to confirm our presence (in english) for the next days, but when we arrived we found that they had given our room to someone else! So we had to sleep one night in another hotel (very near but horrible) waiting for a free room in Agan! The hotel did all the research and accomodation in the other structure, and we paid however the pre-established price, but it was an annoyance

Not a fancy hotel but affordable. Reasonably close to city center but a good walk nonetheless. The included breakfast is modest. The hotel shows wear and needs some repair. Hallway lights were on a motion sensor which was irritating. Overall, not a bad stay.

First of all, i want to say that the pictures from venere don't show exactly the best view of Agan, which is actually much more nicer than i could imagine, looking at the pictures on venere. than, the rooms at the upper floor have a great view, one can really feel the city! the position of the hotel coudn't be better: you can reach all the main sites, by walking, in no time (plus it is near the trainstation and harbor)! last but not least, i would also what to thank the staff for being so nice and making our stay very pleasent - and the stay of other friends that went there, on my advice :) hope they keep the good prices and the good food, so that i will keep being their devoted client :)
