The family room with bunk beds was too small. The kitchen is not included in the room, instead it is a shared kitchen for everyone.

Very helpful and friendly people. Very central location. Clean and safe place. Old wooden İstanbul house.

This is a lovely space to stay in a great neighborhood. It’s quiet and peaceful but very close to the Kadikoy ferry and bus stations and all the bustle and fun that Kadikoy has to offer. The beds were also extremely comfortable.

Lovely, cute, friendly clean hotel/ hostel with such an attentive host! I asked a million questions, and he was very prompt in responding and gave great advice! The place is in a quiet area and I didn't hear the call to the prayer in the morning. They gave me a list of restaurants to visit in the area and even helped with public transportation. The other guests knew that the sound travelled and they were very quiet. Also, the kitchen is great. Feels like a real home )

The street from Kadikoy station to the hotel is a bit of a hike, but that's not specific to Tilas. There's no elevators, so accessibility would be an issue for some users.

The full-floor suite felt more like an apartment than a hotel room, esp with two balconies overlooking the street. Tilas has a very homely vibe, with the shared kitchen and laundry facilities, and it makes for a very comfortable stay. Emre, the manager, is super helpful and proactive, and messaged every morning to check if we needed anything, before, during and after the stay.

Highly recommend!! Stunning property, impeccably clean, charming decor, helpful staff. If I could give you one piece of advice about travelling to Istanbul it would be to stay here over the other overly-touristy areas of the city (Galata, Taksim, etc). There are so many wonderful options for restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, etc. (the owner Emre will kindly provide all the recommendations you need). With the metro, busses and ferries nearby you can easily get to anywhere you need to go.

There is no soundproof, but it’s expected in the historic building and it’s fine.

My best experience in Istanbul boutique hotels for now! Absolutely loved the place!! So convenient and simple. We had a suite on the last floor of the house, it was super cozy, authentic and nice to see. Facility has everything for comfort stay: laundry, kitchen, balcony… Bed was comfortable, hosts were welcome. Liked the recommendation list in google, access by qr code

Can't remember any disadvantages.

The house was interesting and cosy, while the room clean and good looking. Quite interesting architecture. We were staying in 2-person room on the second floor. There are two of those: pink and green, we've chosen pink. The hosts were welcoming and supportive.

As this is a wooden house you can hear guests walking above you. But it didn’t bother us.

The house was recently renovated, very nice rooms although a bit smaller. It is located in a more quiet area of Kadikoy, but only 5-10 minutes walking distance to the center. The host was very kind and helpful.

Everything - my room Pink Judas was super cute, the location very convenient for me with plenty good restaurants/ cafes close by, good access to transport - and the kindest & helpful staff (esp Emre). And luckily they even let me check in earlier, which was great after an overnight flight…Will definitely plan staying again! Thanks!

Everything was great : the beauty of the place, full équipement of the kitchen, the location and of course the kindness of Emre 😀

Absolute delight from start to finish! We were greeted by Emre, who was exceptionally friendly and attentive. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, sending messages to see if we needed anything or had any questions. The location was perfect; Tilas is situated in a very safe and quiet street but in a bustling neighborhood with countless bars and restaurants. The port is a 5min walk away which makes going over to the European side really easy. The room itself was perfect, comfortable and cozy. We will be back!

The hotel is located centrally in Kadiköy (Anatolian side) and you can reach everything afoot. Emre, the owner, is very caring and you should definitely plan in some time to have a coffee and a good chat with him. The rooms are on the small side, but if you are in Kadikoy and with such a nice host, you don't want to spend too much time on your room anyways.

When you check the room descriptions, the kitchen is described as "private kitchen". This might be misleading as there is one common kitchen in the property. The rooms are not cleaned throughout your stay.

As soon as you arrive this beautiful historical building, you feel like you are at home. Emre is absolutely a perfect host with his friendly and kind approach. He is always ready to help. The common kitchen area is great, it is fully equipped with all the kitchen utensils. I love the interior design of the common lounge area and rooms as well. The streets closeby the property are lined with chic cafes and many supermarkets. It is very close to the harbour as well. I stayed here with my 8-year old daughter and had no issues of safety in the area. This place has become our new home in Istanbul. Het was helemaal gezellig!

The street in reality I think is very safe, but again this is not even an air bnb on the Main pedestrianised street of a European city - this is close to the centre and along the backstreets of the Asian side of turkey - and so while it was safe, on first arriving there I was conscious of being careful.

It was very well taken care of, location was good and host was very responsive. Remember this is an air bnb not a hotel, so it is not a massive luxury bed and daily sheet changes, but everything was clean and functional and most importantly the host was available for anything needed.

Emre was very welcoming, communicative and friendly. The location is excellent. The ferry, busses, train and metro are quite close and easily walkable. The room was clean and looked great. Also I enjoyed the filtered tapwater and coffee in the kitchen.

Stayed in February 2024

The rooms are really tiny, not much space to walk around or put luggage for two people around. If you like your place tidy, this can pose a challenge.

Tilas is located very centrally, yet on a rather calm street, offering easy access to public transport. The area is surrounded by a plenitude of hip cafes, restaurants, bars, and shops. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is very kind, welcoming, and available for questions. They'll even let you know when there is fresh coffee or tea downstairs in the morning.

Had an incredible stay in a charming, historic house in Kadikoy. Emre, our fantastic host, made us feel like friends. Would absolutely love to stay again.

Beautiful building, cute apartment, comfortable bed, heated very well, great host

Because this is a wooden house, there is some inevitable noise if other guests are not careful about quiet hours. The owner will make his best to keep the order, though. My bed was a little bit creaky (but I am sure the owner will have a look, and fix it).

Not much to add to the earlier comments. This is a really good, well maintained little hotel at a perfect location. The owner is very attentive to your needs, and does his best to keep you happy.

Impressive old house with cozy furniture and decorations. Extremely clean room and wc. Many lightbulbs and electric sockets to every guest. Heat provided by air conditioner is enough. Gentle and helpful owner There is separate waste collection in house

Tilas was the perfect place for us to discover the city. Tugba and Emre are the sweetest hosts and offer daiy support with anything you need. The location is perfect, 5 min walking distance to the port were you can take the ferry and reach any other part of the city. The room was bright and clean. The bed, the bathroom, everything felt confortable. We fell in love with Istanbul and would not hesitate to stay at Tilas again when we come back!

Stayed in January 2024

Everything was perfect!

What a cosy hideaway in the hustle and bustle of Istanbul, and in the most beautiful building! Emre and Tugba will do whatever they can to make your stay as comfortable as ever, and you will feel very much at home with their graciousness. Little touches all down to the recommendations of restaurants and gorgeous artwork adorning the walls and windows… I would highly recommend staying here for a delightful stay, the location being nice and close to the train and trams for the city centre but also in walking distance from the lovely and happening Moda neighbourhood.

This is truly a perfect place to stay. Mainly because of the hosts but the building is also beautiful and the location perfect.
