Best places: Public baths in Istanbul, Turkey

👍👍 If you’re looking for an interesting cultural experience, I definitely suggest this Hamam. I did the scull experience and it was extremely fun. You get covered in bubbles, a relaxing oil massage, and amazing smelling shampoo. My masseuse found knots in my neck I had no idea I had. Amazing service!...

👍👍 Well worth a visit to this branch with Salt Cave. It is very accessible at the Sultan Ehmet area and close to many hotels so you can crash after being treated. Do the Full 2hour deal or 1:30 minutes deal. Ask for Minma, she’s speaks fluent English and very helpful. The ladies who do the actual bathi...

👍👍 Initially, we had an appointment foe a more popular and more expensive Hamam.. luckily we had found a driver to take us to that location and while on the way we found put our apps was closed. Graciously he told us he would take us to a very good place. We were a bit skeptical but agreed. Upon our a...

👍👍 I made a same day appointment using the live chat functionality because I didn’t see any available appointments online. They were very accommodating and were able to get me in. I also learned they have massage only options which aren’t listed on their site. I had the 90 minute experience (40 min H...

😠 I would not recommend this place. You go down to the basement of the hotel, and it feels very dark and dirty. The receptionist was not friendly and did not make me feel welcome. She said the card reader was broken and we had to go back upstairs to make the purchase, and the whole thing felt a bit sc...

😠 My experience at Felicity went down hill after I laid on the table. The spa is located in the hotel at -2 level. Upon entering the spa, the receptionist wasn’t dress professional. She had a very short miniskirt on, and a very low top with her breast, cleavage exposing (that was interesting) the faci...

🫤 The place only has 4.8 stars because after the whole bath, they force you to put a positive review from the staff phone, otherwise they don't continue with the clay mask. The hamam bath was okay, the people working there did a good massage. The negative thing is that the place is quite ugly, bad ve...

👍👍 My mom and I had a great experience there. We booked full program, so we had sauna, turkish bath and massage. At every stage service was great. The place is clean and comfortable. Women who perform bathing and massage were very friendly, nice and professional.

👍👍 I found this place via Google maps after reading the positive reviews i decided to give it a go . The reservation was super easy . I went with the full spa package which includes 40min sea salt Cleopatra hamam treatment + 50min traditional baliness oil massage and a full access to pool , sauna and s...

😐 I went for the traditional Turkish hammam with my husband. This place offers a mixed group hammam. There was one more couple along with us. The place was decently big. It was clean and elegantly done. The changing rooms were comfortable. The experience was quite relaxing starting with pouring warm...

Impressive Ottoman-empire hammam, finished in 1741, with domes supported by arches and columns.

Traditional bathing, exfoliation & massage services offered in a restored, dome-topped landmark.

👍👍 I contacted them before going there and they explained everything to me, I went in the evening, the Classic Hamam session lasts 40 minutes, 10 minutes in the sauna, 15 in scrubs, 15 in foam massage and then a shower at the end, all very clean and organized, you can book a few days before going and y...

👍👍 We decided to visit this local hammam based on its positive reviews and coed nature. However, it's important to note that initially, they attempted to charge us an excessive 2000 TL per person. After expressing our intention to leave, they progressively lowered the price to 1750, 1500, and eventuall...

👍👍 Amazing place❤️Excellent service, friendly staff(don’t speak English, but it’s possible to understand). There are salt room, jacuzzi , pool, wet and dry steam room, hammam. Also I take full body oil massage - very nice and professional, I enjoyed a lot👍Highly recommend to visit this place

😠 Just wasted an hour of my time, asked on whatsapp if they had massage available now, they said yes, went there, they said take sauna I said no I asked for a massage and you said it was available, they said wait 5-10 minutes. Waited for 35 minutes, was another couple who waited for an hour. The lying...

😠 To therapists, Be proud of your job, please. Focus on the client in front of you. Take care of your body and mental. Long nail can hurt other skin. Clean the room. Low massage skill is okay, but Low responsibility is not okay.

👍👍 Super relaxing and a unique experience. Must have a reservation which can easily be made via their website and then confirmed via WhatsApp. Payment is via cash only. Everything was efficiently organized with little waiting time. The spa house is very clean, nicely decorated with ottoman style furnit...
