Great location, atmosphere and staff are next level brilliant
Pros:

My wife and I stayed for four nights and absolutely loved this hotel. The hotel sits right inside the Bazaar, and the photos really don’t capture how beautiful and traditionally Turkish the building and rooms are. Every room overlooks the central courtyard where the restaurant is, perfect for people‑watching.

We arrived three hours before check‑in, and they had our room ready within an hour, offering free drinks while we waited. A great start and a sign of the service to come. Every member of staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely couldn’t do enough for you, while still giving you your space.

The restaurant service is easily silver‑service standard. We don’t normally eat in a hotel every night, but the food and service were so exceptional that we didn’t want to go anywhere else. There was live entertainment every evening and a pianist during the day, which added to the atmosphere.

The location is ideal if you want to enjoy the Bazaar—everything is right on your doorstep. It’s also only a 5–10 minute walk to the harbour and about 20 minutes (or 3 minutes by taxi) to the Culture Park.

We honestly cannot fault this hotel. We’ll definitely be returning for another shopping trip.

Cons:

The hotel is in the Bazaar, so you cannot get direct transport to the door. Not an issue for us, but may be for some. The walk is under 1 minute.

Great Hotel!
Pros:

The hotel is really cute, clean, and charming with an old-school feel but modern rooms and amenities. The staff was very friendly as well, and very helpful with recommendations and bookings. Looks just like the photos, rooms are nice and spacious. I really enjoyed my stay!

Cons:

The only down side to the central old city location is that once the bazaar is closed, it's a bit desolate as you have to walk through the closed bazaar to get to the hotel, and cabs can't get right to the door.

The Excellence of Turkish Hospitality
Pros:

My stay at L'Agora Old Town highlighted the excellence of Turkish hospitality. From the moment I entered the reception area, Turker took excellent care of me. He made sure I was comfortable and went the extra mile to make my stay memorable. When I missed breakfast because of a tour or early flight, I found a lunch sack waiting for me. As a woman traveling alone, I appreciated the extra attention and felt very safe. The taxi was waiting for me at the exact time I needed it, thanks to Turker. While I agree with some of the comments about the challenges of being in the middle of Old Town, and the bothersome odor of cigarette smoke that wafted throughout the building because of the open structure, the hospitality of the staff and the charm of the building more than made up for the few inconveniences. The morning receptionist walked me to my taxi, confirmed the fare with the driver, and sent me off Feeling safe and well taken care of. I would recommend this hotel 100% if you wish to experience true Turkish hospitality, the charm of Old Town and a beautiful, romantic restaurant that offers great food, live music, and good prices. L'Agora Old Town was a perfect first stop on my turkey itinerary.

Cons:

The trek From the taxi through the fish market was not what I expected, but I later accepted it as a unique cultural experience.

素晴らしい!また来ます!一択です。
Pros:

ロケーションは最高です。
アゴラの遺跡は道を渡ればすぐぐらいの至近、市場の真ん中に建っているので、ショッピングにも大変便利。
魚屋さんが集中する場所なので、ホテルまでは確かに生臭い所を通る場合がありますが別の道からのアプローチも可能です。しかし滞在中は魚屋さん方面には一度も行かずに過ごす事も出来ますので全く問題ありません。
ホテルの一階のレストランは美味しく スタバのコーヒーが何度も飲めてほんとに嬉しかった。
給湯設備も申し分なし。スタッフは皆さん親切で感じ良くてヨーロッパが初めての娘も大変喜んでいました。
また来ます。

Cons:

下のレストランも ホテルの通路にあるテーブルも全て 禁煙では無いため 夕方ホテルに到着した時には煙が立ち込めタバコの匂いが不快だった。
部屋は特にタバコ臭くなかったので我慢できた。

An inclusive option within the old market
Pros:

L'agora had a lot of options for all kind of travelers. Located in the heart of the city it is in close proximity to everything. Its restaurant is a good option for coffee, chilling or dinners, accompanied sometimes by live music which was a very good addition. Breakfast options were OK, and the staff was always smiling and doing its best.

Cons:

Its center position is also a burden at times, you cannot reach it easily, having to walk in very crowded areas, so you better not need to rush to it for any reason (hehe). Noise from the market starts from the early morning hours. The mosques around make it even more difficult to sleep, as the chanting was starting on sunrise (it was Ramazan month though so I do not know if this is regular).

Pros:

Great location, very characterful building and setting (itsndown a narrow market alley with fish stalls etc friendly, very helpful staff, good food. Right opposite the old Agora if you like Archaeology. You can follow a network of narrow stall lined streets into town the other way.

Cons:

The room was a quite noisy when the live music was on until 11pm on certain evenings, so ear plugs might be useful if you want an early night.

We had a pleasant stay with friendly staff, delicious breakfast, and a great central location.
Pros:

We had a good overall experience at L'Agora Old Town Hotel.

Both receptionist Eren and the receptionist on the night shift were very friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions kindly and made us feel welcome throughout our stay.

Breakfast was absolutely delicious! There were wonderful Turkish pastries and İzmir specialties like boyoz and gevrek, which we really enjoyed.

Overall, it was a pleasant stay and a good experience.

Cons:

The location is good and very central. However, since the hotel is located in a pedestrian area, our taxi driver couldn’t drop us off directly in front of the hotel. Also, although the area felt safe to walk in, it was quite dark at 9 pm.

The hotel garden is a smoke-free zone. Personally, it wasn’t my favorite feature, but I understand that some guests may appreciate it. On Saturday, there was live music in the garden. It was quite loud, but the singer had such a beautiful voice that it didn’t bother us much.
