I really enjoyed my stay at Tan Hotel. The location is literally unbeatable, right next to the Sultan Ahmet tram stop and a stone's throw from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. However, the noise from the bustling street outside was a bit distracting, especially at night. Overall, the friendly staff and stunning views from the breakfast terrace really made the stay special.
