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 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!
It was a pretty interesting experience. However, I felt the body scrub and hair wash were a bit rushed... Everything else was okay, though.
