I stayed here for a month back in 2022 and they upgraded my room to the suites on the top floor. The staff were always helpful and kind. My room was so beautiful, sometimes I preferred to just stay inside, especially when it rained. The room came with a little alcove facing a tree inside the room! The alcove had a Nespresso machine and tea. It was the perfect place to sip tea and watch the rain fa...

Great and stylish hotel. The rooms are comfortable even if you have two pieces of luggage in your room. The shower is great and separate from the toilet. You have nice pajamas in the bed.

It's so different and I don't understand why they ...

Really positive experience at Agora Hotel. Rooms were clean and upgraded. Hotel staff was kind and helpful. They have great amenities (robes, free coffee & free bread/waffles in the morning). Good location - easy to walk to major subway stations / bus stops or into main town areas. My only caveat is the room is a little small - especially with big luggage. But I would stay here again!

The rooms are cozy, simple and purposefully designed, more like a holiday in, 3 stars are enough. I see the carpet in the toilet as a problem. As part of hygiene, wear shoes. The stains on the floor are not good. Certainly, investing in a ceramic floor wo...
