Great hotel but not a great location
The hotel is very good. Staff very friendly especially in the bar and cleaners. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety . The pool area was good . The actual location of the hotel isnt that great and can be a bit intimidating which is a real shame. However Taxis and uber are cheap and plentiful so use them especially at night.

Employees were very kind. We arrived very late (3am in the morning), but check-in was possible without an problems. The Agora is only a 15 min. walk from the hotel. Perfect place for leaving the car parked at the hotel and walk the city.
