Our stay at Agora Life was excellent. Our room was clean and comfortable. The rooftop terrace was truly a highlight. Breakfast was included with a large buffet as well as cooked-to-order options. It was a great way to start the day. I would be remiss not to mention the staff on the front desk. They were exceptionally helpful and assisted us in arranging transportation and tours, as well as providing support for the use of public transit. Kudos to the team! This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of many major attractions. Shopping and restaurants are readily available in the neighbourhood.
