Gedikpasa Historical Hammam Experience in Istanbul

This is highly recommended for relieving fatigue from a long flight. You can wash your entire body, and you may even be able to pour hot water over your head, so it's a good idea to bring your makeup, hair iron, etc., as needed. A hair dryer was provided. The entrance is in a different location than what is shown on Google Maps. Climb the slope and turn right, and you will see the entrance.

Absolutely blown away. This was not my first hamam, but it was my first in Turkey, and the difference is real. Gedikpaşa Hamamı is centuries old and you can feel the history in the stone the moment you walk in. I arrived early and the receptionists welcomed me warmly and accommodated me without hesitation. They served me Turkish tea while I waited, which set the tone for the whole visit. Friendly from start to finish. Khalsa took care of me and did a wonderful job. She was thorough, attentive, and genuinely skilled. I walked out glowing, refreshed, and rejuvenated. Afterward they brought me lemonade and Turkish delight, and both were delicious. A perfect finish. I did this on a layover from the airport and it was the best possible use of those hours. If you have time in Istanbul, even a little, go. Authentic, historic, and worth every minute.

A very good experience. The ladies inside are very strong. First is the changing room, where each person is assigned a private room with their own key, which is safe and secure. By the way, men and women are separated. Next is lying on the hot marble for fifteen minutes. Then the ladies start scrubbing, followed by a bubble massage. Finally, they blow-dry your hair, and you can go to the lobby to drink tea and eat a small dessert and relax. If you like ancient buildings, you can choose this place, from 1475 to now. The price is also OK. Recommended. Busra is very skilled. experience: This is mainly for bathing.

My therapist was strong and firm-handed. I was bathed like a baby and left feeling thoroughly relaxed and refreshed after a day exploring Sultanahmet. Tip is expected for this.

nice building and facade. good services and I did have a great experience.

I had such a great experience here! The ambiance was warm, calming, and instantly made me feel relaxed. The service was amazing — the staff were attentive, gentle, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. Overall, a really soothing and rejuvenating experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking to unwind!

It’s pricey, but worth trying once. The ambience is lovely, and the therapist bathes you like a baby, with pressure as firm or gentle as you like. The advertised extras (conditioner, skin care products, cotton buds, etc.) were nowhere to be found, though. Tipping is expected.

The front desk staff were very friendly and conversational, and communication in English was smooth. This is a perfect place to relax after a long flight. The male and female sections are separate, ensuring privacy, and the bubble bath massage was very comfortable.

Amazing experience! First time experiencing the Hammam in Turkey with wife and I chose this specifically for the history of the Hammam here. Had Turkey treats after. Both of us are very satisfied.
