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 The rooms were outdated and not particularly clean, which was disappointing for the price I paid.
