I had mixed feelings about my stay at Hotel Agora. The location was fantastic, right in the center of Amsterdam and just a short walk from everything I wanted to see. However, the noise from the club next door was quite disruptive, especially at night. The rooms were outdated and not particularly clean, which was disappointing for the price I paid.

The room I stayed in was quite old-fashioned with minimal amenities. There was no kettle, just one English TV channel, and it felt cramped. I expected a double room but ended up with two beds instead. Overall, it needed serious cleaning and updating.

Breakfast was quite minimal, with just hard-boiled eggs, toast, a small selection of fruit, and some pastries if I arrived early enough. It sufficed to start the day, but I was hoping for a bit more variety.
