Full description
The Turkish bath is a long-revered custom, centuries-old; perfect for those looking for a truly physical and spiritual cleansing experience.
Cağaloğlu is the last big hamam built in the Ottoman era and was put in the list of 1000 must-see places before you die by New York Times!
The Cagaloglu Hamam, finished in 1741, is the last hamam to be built in the Ottoman Empire. It was constructed in Istanbul Eminönü, in Alemdar, on Hilal-i Ahmer street as a public hamam to raise revenue for the library of Sultan Mahmud I, previously situated inside the Hagia Sophia.
Prepare to leave the chaos and humdrum of life behind as soon as you enter the Turkish bath. Immerse yourself and embrace traditional custom by wearing the waistcloth and clogs provided.
Not quite for the faint-hearted, inside the temperature can reach up to 50 degrees Celcius under the central dome of the building.
The combined intense heat and humidity encourage the pores to open and impurities to be extracted from the body.
Following which, your skin will be gently exfoliated with a Turkish scrub and you will receive a soothing soap massage.
Finally, after resting, you can enjoy Turkish tea before being taken back to your hotel feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and refreshed.
About Cagaloglu Hamam
Turkish baths have been considered an art form for hundreds of years. Step back in time to 1741 for a scrub under the stately domes of Cagaloglu Hamami, a bathhouse popular among locals, tourists and even Hollywood royalty.
Close to the massive dome and four minarets of Hagia Sophia (once the world’s largest Christian church), Cagaloğlu Hamami was the last hammam to be built during the Ottoman Empire, in 1741, by Sultan Mahmud. By far the most spectacular of Istanbul’s hammams, it is absolutely stunning and a must for spa pilgrims, or merely curious tourists.
Tourists in search of an authentic hammam are the main customers here, but they are in good company: Florence Nightingale, Kaiser Wilhelm I and Tony Curtis are all said to have come here.
As Cagaloglu Hamam is near the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, it is a good place to refresh after a day of sightseeing and exploring. In the old days women and men had separate days to visit, but now it offers separate baths for men and women and a range of services.
Address: Alemdar Mah. Profesör Kazım İsmail Gürkan Cad. No: 34 Cağaloğlu Hamamı 34110 Fatih, İstanbul/Turkey

A magical experience in Istanbul's historic district. A truly wonderful experience and definitely one of my fondest memories of Istanbul. The hamam itself is beautiful and has a unique, historic atmosphere. You can truly relax and take a break from sightseeing. My therapist was Tuğba, and I'm so glad I found her. She was incredibly kind and professional, making me feel at ease from the very beginning. The entire ritual was very relaxing and enjoyable. A beautiful place, a great atmosphere, and wonderful service. I would happily return.

History, culture and tradition made tactile and luxurious I hadn’t had the Hamami experience before but everyone should try it here! The place is just gorgeous. It has such a feeling of tradition and culture: it’s also run efficiently and the staff are kind and welcoming. My wonderful attendant/washer/masseuse was Dilek. Although it was my first Hamam, I know a good massage and she was so skilled. I went in feeling very below par, I had sinus pain and a lot of aches, and I came out feeling that I could walk on air. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. I’m a new woman!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A dreamlike place to be pampered What a spectacular treat! My attendant Melek was absolutely wonderful and the entire process was truly so very lovely. The only wee downside was that I paid for a collagen facial treatment that was never administered. I’m certain it was my fault for heading into my changing room rather quickly after being served the tea, sherbet, and Turkish delight because we were heading to the airport soon after and I was moving quickly. I wish I’d remembered in time to say something, but alas. Perhaps on a future visit. Otherwise, an incredibly interesting and rejuvenating experience. I shall visit a hamam again, but it will be difficult to find a place this beautiful to do so!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A memorable experience We both enjoyed the 30-minute treatment in this beautiful and very old hamam with separate areas for men and women. It was a relaxing yet invigorating treatment and my attendant Tugde was so kind and put me at ease. You don’t need to bring anything and all your belongings are locked safely in your changing cubicle when you go through to the bathing room. A special experience to enjoy when in Istanbul.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

great experience! We initially purchased the basic package just to try it out, but at the recommendation of the lovely staff member who assisted us, we decided to add the clay mask treatment to our package as well. Both my daughter and I were very happy with the results. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the environment was spotless, peaceful, and relaxing. We will definitely be coming back! ( Even the aesthetic itself will be enough to get you back there! 🤭 ) For anyone considering going but still having doubts, I highly recommend giving it a try without overthinking it and experiencing this wonderful service for yourself. We’re sure you won’t regret it! :)Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An ancient place and ritual, contemporary efficiency, and profound well-being: the true hamam. A fantastic place, you can sense its history and ancient origins, its respect for rituals and tradition, and its modern-day meticulous attention to detail and hygiene. All the staff are very efficient and helpful, from check-in to treatment (English is spoken, of course). I had the basic treatment, Istanbul Dream, which was exactly as advertised online, including the length and timeframe (considering the large number of people requesting access). What's hard to describe and truly express is the profound sense of well-being this experience provides. I especially thank Tugba, the assistant, who took such excellent care of me. I'll definitely repeat it.

Very nice experience I visited Cagaloglu Hammami in August 2026 and could not have asked for a better experience. It exceeded all my expectations. The space and the ambience where you can actually feel so much history, the reception from the staff and the treatment itself, all make you feel like a royal. The professional, Mr. Fark was extremely diligent and attentive. You actually feel clean after the treatment and taken care of. There was no hurry and you are able to relax and unwind at your own pace. A nice touch was the Turkish tea and delights that they serve you at the end. Thank you and keep it up.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Too bad... Dear Spa, I'll start with the good news: the place is beautiful. Not as majestic as it appears on the website, where it feels like entering an imperial palace, but pleasant nonetheless. What left me perplexed, however, wasn't the structure but the experience. It began with the offer to pay in cash for a 10% discount. We accepted, handed over the money, and the note counting machine informed us that 200 lire were missing. After a thorough double-check, it turned out that the sums were indeed correct. A curious start. From then on, everything seemed to follow a fixed script: efficient, certainly, but with the warmth of an assembly line. Each step was carried out correctly, but without the care you expect when spending over 150 euros per person for an hour-long experience. More than a guest, I felt like a tedious task to be disposed of with gentle speed. I'd like to point out, however, that it's not the fault of the "staff," who are kind, polite, and courteous, but rather the management style. They do exactly what the manager asks, with no option, I imagine, to do otherwise. Last but not least, tea: two tiny, rather unremarkable cakes, served as a grand finale. A bit like leaving an opera and finding yourself listening to a lovely cell phone ringtone. It's a shame, because the potential is absolutely there. Perhaps it would be enough (and appropriate) to remember that true luxury isn't the furnishings, but making people feel truly welcomed. With affection, but without the desire to return.

Wonderful location 😍 An unforgettable experience at Cağaloğlu Hamamı in Istanbul! ✨🇹🇷 What impressed me most was not only the beautiful historical atmosphere, but also the exceptional service and professionalism of the staff. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth, respect, and genuine hospitality. Every member of the team was attentive, polite, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. The staff were incredibly professional and knew exactly how to make the traditional hammam ritual feel both authentic and luxurious. They paid attention to every detail, explained the process when needed, and made sure I felt relaxed and well taken care of. The treatment itself was wonderful — the traditional exfoliation, foam massage, and overall ritual were performed with great care and attention. You can really feel that the employees are experienced and passionate about what they do. I especially appreciated the kindness, positive energy, and respectful attitude of the entire team. Excellent service can completely change an experience, and here it truly made a difference. Cağaloğlu Hamamı is not simply a place to visit — it is an experience of Turkish culture, history, hospitality, and relaxation.

Yes, but I've been to several hammams in Turkey because I love the experience, and while it's a good place, it's not the best I've ever been to. Not finishing the basic package (almost 100 euros, which is quite a lot) with an oil massage seems like a mistake to me, but it's all a matter of taste. The best thing is the ladies who attend to you. They're lovely.

She scrubbed my entire body front and back- then she did a bubble batch with massage followed by wash and rinse. We headed then to the main room where I lied down and enjoyed tea/turkish delights.

Meh… but 5 ⭐️ for the experience. So everyone talks up a storm about how great a Hammam experience is. I didn’t get it. You sit in a sauna with other dudes (I do this at the YMCA), then I’m invite one down on a heated marble slap for the rub down with bubble while getting cold and hot water poured over me. Then I move to a common area for tea. For the experience they were the best but for therapeutic value… meh. It is what it is. Would I do it again? My taxi driver the next day couldn’t believe I would spend €125. He said you can great ones for half.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Relaxing time at Calaloglu My partner and I signed up for a session as soon as we checked in at our hotel, through the hotel. We made it for a few hours after arriving in Istanbul, which was great! When we arrived they separated the men and women, and took us to different sections. The concierge of the women’s side, Münire, guided me as to what to do (it was my first time at a Hamam) and made me feel comfortable. When I went for my treatment I was paired with Sema, who was very professional and obviously well-practiced. She gave me a good scrubbing, but never too rough. She easily guided me through each step, literally leading me by the hand! Overall it was a wonderful and relaxing experience. If there was any downside, it’s that there is a lot of single-use plastic. The towels, slippers, and (for women) disposable underwear are all wrapped in plastic, which is a bit disconcerting. I hope that they can find a way to get rid of all this excessive waste.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Must-Do Istanbul Experience Went at 10:00 on a Thursday, for the Ottoman Luxury Service (€220), and was treated by Uğur. The whole experience from start to finish was thoroughly enjoyable, well paced; not rushed, but thoroughly efficient at right about two hours. The facilities were spectacular and reminded you this was a legitimate experience, not just a trope for tourists but a historical experience. It’s helpful to note this space has been used as such since its founding in 1741. It was nice that there were only a few others receiving treatments at the same time, but more people certainly wouldn’t have diminished from the experience, as you’re reminded it’s a community affair. Uğur was excellent, really knew how to make the massages both relaxing but also invigorating and rejuvenating. Whether you’re in for touristy things on vacation or not - and I’m generally not - it’s a must-do.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A sublime experience I had a 24 hour overnight stay in Istanbul (after a longer stay at the beginning of my European trip), and decided to be brave and book a Turkish bath experience at Cağaloğlu Hamami. What an amazing treat! The experience from start to finish was delightful - so relaxing and lovely in a truly beautiful and immaculately clean historic setting. Ayse was my attendant and she was fantastic, so warm and attentive, and great at making me feel comfortable (without a word of English). The kese scrub and foam bath were amazing, and I felt surprisingly at ease being almost completely nude while being washed by Ayse in a female-only room among other clients and attendants. The snacks with tea and leg massage afterwards were a lovely way to complete the evening. I most highly recommend the Cağaloğlu Hamami Turkish Baths, and will return when I again visit Istanbul. Everyone should experience this at least once in their lifetime! Don’t be shy - GO!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Turkish Hammam Experience From the moment I walked into Çağaloğlu Hammam, I knew I was about to experience something truly special. The atmosphere is breathtaking, combining centuries of history with exceptional hospitality. My therapist, Sema, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly professional, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. Every step of the traditional Turkish bath was performed with care, and I left feeling completely refreshed, renewed, and relaxed. A special thank you to Sema , whose knowledge and passion for Turkish bath traditions made this experience even more meaningful. She took the time to explain the history, customs, and benefits of the hammam, transforming what could have been just a spa visit into a rich cultural experience. Her warmth and expertise made this an unforgettable memory. If you’re visiting Istanbul, Çağaloğlu Hammam is an absolute must. It’s not just a spa—it’s a journey into Turkish history, culture, and hospitality. This was one of the highlights of my trip, and I will cherish this experience forever. I can’t wait to return!

Far Exceeded Our Expectations This was our third Turkish bath, and by far the best! Isil and Kismet were our therapists, and if we could figure out how to bring them home with us and open our own hammam, we absolutely would. From the moment we walked in, everyone was genuinely friendly, warm, and welcoming. Isil and Kismet were exceptional. The care, attention to detail, and quality of both the Turkish bath and the massage were unlike anything we've experienced. We left feeling completely relaxed and genuinely cared for. If you're looking for an authentic hammam experience with incredible therapists, this is the place. We can't recommend it highly enough, and we'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Istanbul!

Highly Recommend!!! A friend of our travel companions told them we absolutely needed to treat ourselves to a Turkish massage, and this is DEFINITELY the place to go! It is not for anyone prudish, but it is an experience like none other, and probably one you won’t get anywhere else! You get completely nude, though they give you a tiny paper g-string thing that is almost non-existent. You wrap a towel around you & they assign you a person, who takes you to sit in a sauna for 15 minutes; there may be other people in the sauna, also in towels, so you have to be comfortable with that. Then they bring you back into the large bath area, where there’s a giant marble slab “table”, for lack of a better term. They dump water on you and lay you down along the edge of the marble, and you lay head to toe with anybody else. They basically exfoliate & wash you, head to toe, (including your hair), almost like being bathed by your mother when you were little! It was an experience like nothing I’ve ever done!!! My “handler” was Dilek, and she was the sweetest!!! Most of the folks there speak very little English, but the managers are fairly fluent. It was really a transcendent experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who has a sense of adventure & interest in other cultures!!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

The best service and atmosphere. This was our first time at the Cağaloğu hamam, having previously visited other local hamams in hotels. This was a completely new, amazing experience! I experienced complete relaxation, the gentle and soft touches of masters Suzan and Cigden, who treat their guests with a smile and care, and with the utmost care and attention! The unique atmosphere of antiquity transforms the spa program into an incredible cultural and historical immersion. I wish they would play older, traditional, yet equally calming music occasionally!

Wonderful first time experience It was my first visit to Istanbul & I had never visited a Hamani before. Reviews on TripAdvisor made me choose this one & what an excellent choice it was. I felt well taken care of, each step was explained to me & I was treated with dignity. When in the heat room I chatted to two young ladies who were regulars when visiting Istanbul & they said this was the best one. It felt wonderful to be pampered in such a beautiful, historic building Following my ‘Istanbul Dream’ I boarded a cruise ship. Six days into the cruise I started with a streaming cold. The complimentary face & hand cream was wonderfully soothing for the area around my nose. Don’t look at the others, just book this one. Relax & enjoy!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Worth it for the vibes! I had attempted a previous hamam in a hotel and was very off put by the joint reception and general money making demeanour and speed. I booked this instead and am so glad I did! From the moment I entered the vibe was way more peaceful and the architecture was beautiful. Minute greeted me at the front desk and she was so lovely, explained what was going to happen and didn’t make me feel rushed at all. I went at 11am on a Tuesday and it was so peaceful and quiet, I was in a session with one other lady who I had a lovely chat with. Take your makeup off before you go!! They had bathrooms and areas to do this but don’t always explicitly say, but they’re great with questions so ask for whatever you need or want re place to wash or pee. You don’t wash yourself before hand but you can use one of the basins on the side if you want whilst you’re in the hot room. (Ladies) They give you disposable underwear for bottom half, nothing for the top but you can wear a bikini top and they’d be fine. You have a private room to undress and then go off in your towel to the hot room. Sit there for a bit and get sweaty then it’s bath time. You get led around by the hand and it’s very hand movement gestures from this point. You get naked and then lay down for the scrub Personally I wish the scrub itself was a tad longer, but the massage that came after was genuinely perfect. I got the most basic package and didn’t regret it as the massage was already so nice. They do wash your hair but it’s not super heavy on the hair conditioning so I’d either wear a hair conditioning mask before (this will 100% be washed out) or bring your own conditioner. I’d also bring your own moisturiser. Massage was v professional but really nice, hands will be everywhere tbh so prepare yourself. But professionally. Nazanin after was great at answering all our questions on the architecture and history etc and made us feel very comfy. Would recommend, and I think worth the prIce (basic package) for the ambiance and history, but do bring makeup remover, hair conditioner and moisturiser.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Worth Every Minute and Every Penny ★★★★★ An absolutely unforgettable experience at Çağaloğlu Hamamı. I chose the Ottoman Luxury Service and added a full-body clay mask and collagen face mask, making the experience even more indulgent. From the hot room and kese exfoliation to the bubble massage and aromatherapy massage with linden oil, every step was expertly delivered and incredibly relaxing. A special thank you to my therapist, Isil, whose skill, professionalism, and warm nature made the experience exceptional from start to finish. I would also like to thank Seda from Guest Relations for her kindness and outstanding hospitality throughout my visit. The traditional treats, Turkish tea, homemade sherbet, Turkish delight, fruit, and appetizers, were a lovely touch, and finishing with à la carte appetizers and a glass of red wine made it feel truly luxurious. The thoughtful gift bag at the end was the perfect finishing touch. A beautiful blend of history, tradition, and luxury. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Delightfully relaxing and perfectly peaceful This was an awesome experience. The mystery and intrigue of a Turkish bath lead me to Cagaloglu Hamami and I was not disappointed in the least. I was made to feel welcome and at ease. The concierge took my bags and made me coffee and called me a cab when I was finished. The guest receptionist. Nazanin was very attentive. The therapist, Bade, was excellent scrubbing and massaging every inch of me from head to toe!!!😁Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Choose THIS Hamam This experience was incredible! If and when I come back to Istanbul, I would choose this hamam again instead of finding a new one. The feeling of being in a hamam centuries old was indescribable. My therapist, Tupba, made me feel comfortable during the new experience and took amazing care of me. 10/10!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Returning to the Cağaloğlu Hamamı was <strong>spectacular</strong> . I thank the wonderful Samir, who for an hour took possession of my body, making it new and lighter. If you've never had this experience, it's hard to understand my enthusiasm. The first time I went, it was a complete discovery; this time, knowing the procedure, I completely let myself go, both mentally and physically. My advice is to come see Istanbul, a city I'm in love with, and not miss this place of rebirth.

The atmosphere is beautiful, warm, and full of character—you can truly feel the special energy of the place from the moment you walk in. As a mother, I spend every day taking care of my little girl, and for the past three years I honestly haven’t had many moments where someone took such genuine care of me. Neslihan made me feel completely nurtured, pampered, and looked after. She was incredible: kind, attentive, and able to bring me exactly the sense of lightness, calm, and relaxation that I needed. Her caring presence made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, and I left feeling refreshed, recharged, and deeply appreciated. Thank you for such a beautiful experience.

Must-do experience in Istanbul The Cagaloglu Hamam was an unforgettable experience. The historic venue feels otherworldly. My attendant was Kismet and she was so wonderful, warm, welcoming and treated me care. I was softly led by the hand so as not to slip as we moved between the hamam areas. I was very self conscious to be almost naked but was quickly put at ease. By the kindness of all of the attendants in the area. The bubble massage, laying on heated marble slabs, being vigorously scrubbed and washed down with tipping pans of water is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. The experience began with sitting silently in a heated marble sauna room, where there was absolutely no sound, no stimulation and no distraction. It was a full nervous system reset to sit in peace away from the throbbing pulse of the city. After the hamam I was led to a quiet space to lay quietly with treats or nuts and fruit and Turkish tea. Afterwards we were treated with a complimentary drink and canapés at Lokana restaurant which we appreciated. We were also given a gift back which was a lovely souvenir of our time at the hamam. There was something almost sacred about experience knowing the deep history of the venue and the tradition of hamam. I’d highly recommend this experience and my next recommendations are not complaint, just to share what to expect and be well prepared. The pant I was given to wear is tiny (and I am not) - it’s a strip rather than a full disposable pant, so if you are extremely self conscious you might want to take your own underpants. Expect to be naked other than the pants around others. There are so many bubbles and it’s very discreet. Bring a hair brush - there is a comb provided but my hair was so knotty afterward, the comb wouldn’t work at all and I wished I had my own brush with me to tidy up before going back outside. Bring makeup to redo your face - you will sweat it all off or get it washed off. Arrive barefaced - I didn’t. If you have a massage after the hamam, know you don’t shower after it so you will leave with oil on your skin. On a hot day it’s a bit uncomfortable.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Not to be missed What an experience. We are so glad that we made the time to experience the Cagaloglu Hamam. My therapist (Nusret) made me feel completely at home and relaxed.

The Wandering Reviewer4 June 2026Verified
Come for the experience, leave with peace Sometimes the best travel experiences happen because somebody takes the time to leave a comment. After one of my Istanbul posts, a well-travelled friend suggested I try a traditional Turkish hamam before leaving Türkiye. I replied that I simply didn’t have time. Four hours before I needed to be at the airport, the concierge smiled and pointed down the street. “Just 150 metres away.” @cagalogluhamam Challenge accepted. What followed was one of the most extraordinary sensory experiences of my travels. The building itself is over 300 years old. Before you even begin, the architecture takes your breath away. Domes punctuated with tiny windows. Marble everywhere. The sound of running water echoing through cavernous spaces. It feels more like stepping into history than entering a spa. I chose the “Istanbul Dream” experience and added a detoxifying organic clay mask. Yes, it was expensive. And yes, it was worth every cent. Without giving away too much of the experience (because half the magic is discovering it yourself), there were hot marble rooms, bubble massages that felt like being wrapped in clouds, clay treatments, continual rinsing, and moments lying on warm stone staring up at centuries-old ceilings while water splashed gently around me. For a little while, the outside world simply disappeared. A special mention to Hasret, whose quiet professionalism and gentle care helped make the experience feel both luxurious and deeply personal. And then there was the hospitality. Tea and snacks while waiting. Turkish tea, homemade sherbet and Turkish delight at the end. Everything provided - towels, pestemal cloth, disposable slippers, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and traditional Ayvalık olive oil soap. The Turkish seem to understand something many cultures have forgotten. Looking after people is an art form. And at Cagaloglu Hamam, they’ve been perfecting it for more than three centuries. Still wandering. Still learning. 🇹🇷Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Authentic & Freeing What a surprisingly fantastic experience! The steam bath, scrub down and foot massage was next level. Erdal my masseuse knew how to find all the right places to release my muscles and tightness. Great personality and created a comfortable atmosphere. I would do this daily if I could! I'll be back for sure.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An Unmatched Istanbul Tradition An absolute must-do in Istanbul. Being from the city myself, I can confidently say Cağaloğlu Hamam never disappoints; the service and quality are consistently flawless. I had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Ms. Hasret this time, and she was phenomenal. It remains the mandatory first stop on all my trips back home. Highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Hamman paradise in Istanbul Wonderful place atmosphere fantastic. Staff very professional. Had the most amazing sauna, then body scrub then bubble massage then foot massage from Tsubla. The best body Scrub I have ever had. The massage was fantastic. At the end they wash & condition your hair This was followed by foot massage with relaxing time on leather couch. Spoilt with tea/ herbal potion, Turkish delight,nuts & dried fruit. Plenty of time to relax. You change in private room, keep the key & return to your room after wards to change, dry hair, use the body lotion etc supplied. One use underwear is supplied, plus robes/ towels & non slip shoes All you need is you ! An absolutely fantastic experience in a building that’s one of the oldest in Istanbul, if only walls could talk. Definitely would do this again if I had the opportunity. Everyone was so nice, the trainee Manager Naz was on duty when we were there on 22 nd May. Could not do enough to make sure everyone was happy, knew where to go etc. The restaurant in the building is also amazing, we had a tour including the terrace, beautiful place to go. A fantastic experience not to be missed.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Absolutely fantastic! A superb experience, I highly recommend it. I had the Ottoman massage (foam and aromatherapy massage) just before my departure to give me a boost before leaving and to recover from the long and fascinating walks around Istanbul. Thank you to Ayse, who was very attentive and had magic hands.

Must visit when in Istanbul What an incredible experience at this beautiful Turkish bathhouse. The Ottoman-style services were absolutely wonderful — relaxing, authentic, and performed with such care and professionalism. The facility itself was stunning, with a peaceful atmosphere that made the entire visit feel luxurious from start to finish. After the treatment, we were served delicious Turkish tea and fresh Turkish delights, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. Every detail felt welcoming and elegant. I left feeling completely refreshed and relaxed. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for true Turkish hospitality and a traditional spa experiencePosted on Tripadvisor![]()

A relaxing experience. This is a wonderful experience especially in the historic bath house. The whole team are very welcoming and you are well looked after during the 90 minute experience. Nazamin greeted me and made sure I had all I needed and Ayse did my treatment which was very professional.Load more
