Do not miss this! - This was a wonderful experience! The staff were warm and welcoming. Having same sex staff made for a very comfortable massage and a wonderful time. The historic building only added to what was already a wonderful time.

Well deserved pampering! - AMAZING experience. Felt clean and fresh from head to toe. Scrubbed dead skin off and lathered and got bubbled up, and massaged. Just remember to take a brush or comb.

Pampered like a sultan and sultana - This experience should not be missed on your trip to Istanbul. The Hamam is one of the oldest in Istanbul and brimming with history. The place runs like a well-oiled machine from the reception area to the final snack area in the restaurant. Baking on grey-blue marble, being covered in thick warm bubbles, doused with water of varying temperatures, receiving a thorough scrubbing, eating numerous small snacks, and a final massage - what is not to like? Wonderful. Our children, ages 9 and 11, loved the experience too.

A magical place to see at least once in your life! - A beautiful hamam, one of a kind! It was a fantastic experience that I really recommend to everyone. It is located in the old city of Istanbul, just minutes from the main monuments. As for the reservation (mandatory) I booked from the site quickly and easily. The staff is reserved, very professional and extremely competent: they gave me a warm welcome explaining everything in detail. If desired, you have the opportunity to integrate the package purchased online with other small services for a fee (eg clay treatment, collagen masks, massage with oriental oils, etc...). The treatment was really taken care of in every detail: initial sauna, skin scrub, bubble bath, final rinse, tea. The reception and hammam are spotless and beautiful: I think at least once in your life you have to try to go to such a place, a truly magical place! I remember that it was also reviewed by The New York Times as one of the places you absolutely must see!

Great experience, highly recommend - If you’re looking for a tradition hammam experience in Istanbul, I highly recommend this. My husband and I came here during our honeymoon in Istanbul and it was an awesome experience very traditional. Men and women are separate which we anticipated but the service was great and it was clean and organized.
