Amazing hammam! Very polite staff, authentic atmosphere, oriental music. I liked everything - basking in the hammam, scrubbing, and soapy massage. I have been here twice already (last time in January 2022), and I will definitely come again when I come to Istanbul next time.
Booking via the website.
The whole program - warming up, scrubbing, massage is designed for an hour, then you can go up to the relaxation area, relax, drink tea with lukum, and also treat yourself to non-alcoholic tincture.
You don't need to take anything with you except a swimsuit, a towel and slippers are provided. There are dyson hair dryers, hair sprays, and some other jars)
We took a hammam, foam massage, oil massage and a face mask for two. 5 thousand liras were paid in cash for each of them.
The website, the booking process, and the confirmation are excellent.
The building is supposedly 15th century, spacious enough inside, 3 floors.
Hammam: large, spacious room, hot stones, high ceiling with dome, clean, warm, as it should be.
Washing and scrubbing: separate room for 2 men, women are washed separately. The performance was disappointing, the cleaner rubbed me with a washcloth like sandpaper in one place, rubbed my knee almost to the point of bleeding. I replaced the cleaner, the other one was better, but not as I would like.
Massage: another person has already done it, it's generally fine, but everything is fast, he kneaded, smeared oil, and hardly massaged his back.
Mask: clay was smeared, then washed off, nothing unusual.
Overall: it felt like everyone was rushing to go home. I do not recommend a session at 20:00. Disappointed. In Alanya, they did it for 35-50 euros per season and without complaints most of the time. And here it's expensive and you can't relax.
A gorgeous place 👌 historical hammam, pleasant memories from this place. I liked everything! Reception, service and of course massage, I advise you to visit! The price is not small, but it's worth it. Thank you very much!!!
We booked a session in the hammam in the morning for the evening. The confirmation was received by email within two hours. Now it cost 2,300 lira - hammam, scrubbing, foam massage. At the end of the procedures, tea was offered and taken to the recreation area.
I was glad that I didn't have to take anything with me. They had everything they needed - slippers, a towel, a Dyson hair dryer, hair conditioner and moisturizing body milk.
A good, atmospheric hammam, everything is done promptly and without delay. Convenient registration via the website. When paying in cash, it's a nice discount.
I give 4 stars not even for the lack of a sauna and the fact that in Russia it is customary to call a hammam (a room with wet steam). The questions were raised by the person who actually did the washing procedure.
Let's just say that for this money it would be possible to be more cheerful.
We came from reviews that this is the most ancient Hammam in Istanbul, but one disappointment immediately came from the threshold:
The administrator, pretending that he does not understand the Russian language, offers to visit the hammam in English at full cost (and this, attention, is about 15 thousand rubles for two adults). The cost of the program includes: sitting in a hammam, soaping and massage for about 20 minutes.
And there was also a wait of about half an hour before visiting, although there were no people in the hammam at all.
In general, I do not recommend visiting.
Terrible attitude towards customers, the owner (pictured) communicates rudely. You can't just come, just a reservation. They don't do it, only through the site themselves. If you did, it does not mean that it is there, it will still be occupied. To book and receive the service for sure is not here. If you respect your time and you have a short vacation here, don't come here! The owner, instead of helping, says you don't like it-go to another hammam.
A wonderful, beautiful and clean place. The young man and I were very pleasantly surprised by the price-quality ratio of the service. I definitely recommend you to visit!
This historic hamam is suitable for those who want to visit it in a family format. Since there are no separate visiting hours for women and men. If you are alone, then I would recommend a place where there are such women's watches, otherwise you risk being in a steam room with 4-5 men and will be there in proud solitude. Massage and pilling were done by a woman in a separate room, which somewhat brightened up the impression. But it didn't work out to relax in the steam room, because men's procedures were done there. Although it was also interesting to watch the work of bath attendants from the outside. The cost of the visit is 1,650 lira (steam room + pilling massage). Convenient recording via the website.
The authentic atmosphere is preserved in the hammam. It's like you've been transported by a time machine for several centuries. At the same time, it is an excellent service:: a good captive and classic massage
We went with our girlfriends. A very authentic place. In an old building and with the feeling that we have returned to the Ottoman world. The stones in the center of the hammam are hot, there is a steam room. Then they are taken away for scrubbing and foam massage. The skin is delicate. After the scrub, the glove was given away as a souvenir. We really liked it. If there are three packages: 1100 lire standard (hammam, scrubbing and foam massage), 1600 lire plus oil massage and 1900 lire plus head massage.
good service, great location.not far from the metro. everything is very clean and tidy. they provide a lot of towels, you always feel comfortable. I put 4 stars because of the price, because 700 lire per person for a minimum set is somehow expensive. there is tea, hair dryer, air conditioner spray, combs, slippers.
Excellent location, you can feel the history and grandeur of the building, I would not say that I liked the washing, But it was unusual and interesting.
I would definitely NOT go back there again, and the price of 1100 lira for a minimum package of services is unjustified.
I got here by coming across an article on the Internet.
I signed up-I was confirmed in whatsapp-I came.
Later, by the way, I found out that you can just come without an appointment.
First, they are escorted to the locker room.
Then go to the hammam for 30 minutes. The hammam itself is cool. There are both men and women there.
The sauna is so-called cool, you can pour a little on the stones. The humidity is really good.
Inside, everything is generally very colorful. Clearly the visit itself has a history. Well, it's very interesting under the domes, you can see the thickness of the walls, and these small windows in the roof. Cool.
But it is impossible to relax and unwind.
I was taken for a foam massage and a wash. Interestingly, they rub you with a washcloth first and only then with foam. Usually the opposite is true.
It all lasted about 15 minutes. And that would be all right.
But somewhere in the 5th minute, 2 more employees came into the washroom. We discussed something very loudly and emotionally -we changed clothes at the same time. At this moment, you feel like an empty place.
It feels like in a conveyor belt-washed -next! The next one was washed!
Although the girl who washed did it well, with elements of massage, I would say.
There was no washed body effect after the visit.
Of the advantages: atmospheric, they gave yours
The same washcloth, friendly staff.
Will I go again, no. This is just for once.
I gave 700 t.l. According to the minimum program.
Not the best hamam. Visiting with men and women at the same time in the same room where the hammam itself is located. It is not very pleasant and convenient to be naked in a towel and know that other men are nearby. Women who rub with a washcloth and soap massage are tired and unhappy. The only thing I liked was a 20-minute massage. The interior is pretty, but because of the service, I would go to another one. Massage, rubbing with a washcloth, foam massage and a visit to the hammam cost 950 liras in July 2022.
