Step beneath its elegant domes, where marble halls and soothing steam set the stage for a rejuvenating ritual. Enjoy the traditional kese scrub, a luxurious foam massage on heated marble, and unwind with herbal tea or homemade sherbet in the cool room.

It was my first time visiting a place like this and everything was great. It's near the Blue Mosque, so it's easy to find. The staff was very attentive and friendly at all times. Everything we booked was done perfectly, and for a moment I was transported back to my childhood when my mother used to give me a bath, haha. I recommend it to anyone passing through Istanbul.
The place is a historial place and you can experience the Turkish style peeling - I wouldn't say it's very comfortable but definitely works! My skin is still smooth aftering coming back from Turkey for 2 weeks. Also, the owner was very friendly - my friend and I had a really nice chat with him!
We really enjoyed as a couple in the classic package. the place was easy to find. It isnt like a 5 star spa, but truly a traditional type of hammam bath. loved the host. Was cool and composed. Liked the procedure of steam, peeling and foam massage wash. please opt in klook as in person it would be highly expensive.
It was a pretty interesting experience. However, I felt the body scrub and hair wash were a bit rushed... Everything else was okay, though.
Since it is a mixed hammam, you drink chai in the lobby wearing just a towel, and it is for both men and women. No privacy is considered. I chose a massage plan, but the female therapist chewed gum noisily the entire time she was giving the massage. It was very unpleasant, and she didn't even smile. The owner kept approaching me and trying to strike up a conversation as a solo female traveler. I felt physically unsafe. Solo female travelers should be careful. I want this listing removed.
