Great 4.0
the location is pretty close to Taksim Metro. you can find a lot of Turkish foods around, from doner, baklava, simit, balik emer etc, but the price is a bit higher around the Taksim Square. the staff is friendly. the room is clean, but if you manage to laundry, the hotel does not have washing machine. they only provide wash and dey service: 150 lira per piece.

I booked 3 workshops for the same day and all were amazing! This was my favorite part because I could create my own Turkish lamp!

worth the money, affordable price, full guidance. so relaxing and free flow coffee, tea and cookies. place is at uskudar, so need to take ferry from europe side, but still worth. place also so warm and comfy. there is a small cafe behind it.

Learning how to make Turkish coffee was so interesting! The part of boiling the coffee in the hot sand was very satisfying.

Overall a very pleasant experience. HOWEVER - do take note of the location. The instructor was experienced and friendly, and we had a good time trying different scents and blending them into a unique perfume. However - for the organisers, please update the klook listing to reflect the actual workshop location and timing (i.e. the cafe in Uskudar rather than the meetup place in Sirkeci). Note that you'll either have to meet at Sirkeci 30 mins earlier, or go to the workshop yourself.

instructor helped with difficult tasks like cutting and also trimmed all loose threads and uneven cuts towards the completion of the piece. great place to chill and do art

We were lucky to have a private session just for us, held on a beautiful inner terrace filled with calm and peaceful vibes. The host was incredibly kind and shared the story and secrets of Turkish coffee making. After tasting the rich, aromatic coffee with sweet Turkish delight, we even had our coffee grounds read — a fun and magical touch that made the experience unforgettable.

I bought a Klook pass, which averaged out to about 1400 NTD per experience, super high CP value! Otherwise, other Turkish baths start at 2000 NTD. I experienced it with my 10-year-old son, and it was a bit crowded for two people to lie on the platform (this platform should be designed for one person to lie on!). Girls can wear bikinis, but I'm a backpacker and didn't want to bring so many things, so I just wore underwear. They scrub your whole body first, then lather you with soap, and the most fun part is squeezing a bunch of bubbles all over you. Finally, they wash your hair and apply a mud mask. It's a very special experience, and you must try it when you come to Turkey. Because you can't take pictures inside, I'm only posting a picture of the entrance. The rest are pictures of Istanbul!
