Very impressive old Hamam building and a good original atmosphere. Just walk in there (no special bath clothing needed) and get your massage or relax by yourself. The 19 euro per person is not cheap (we were with 5 persons), but my 12yr old daughter could enter for free. Men and women are stricktly separated. Women get disposable underwear, men... More

I had been told by an American who works in Istanbul that you wear a towel around you when you get a Turkish massage, that you are never naked. That was what other women he knows told him. I guess I went to the wrong hamam, because at this one I was bathed naked by a girl in her underwear... More

As mentioned by previous comments, this is a typical simple hamami. The people and welcoming is simple. The procedures of hamami are followed. This place is dated and needs work. Hygiene is also a concern More

While most of the staff are all about business and can't offer you a smile, Noor will sing "It's Now or Never" and "Que Sera Sera" as she gives you an oil massage or "reflexology". I put reflexology in quotation marks because it really was just a foot and leg massage. But it was pleasant and well worth the 40... More

After a rainy day at Topkapi palace, we were wet and cold and stumbled across this hamam. Since it was our only Hamam, I can't compare the service or price. According to my guide-book the price is on the upper level. I liked the arrangement very much. The hot room is mixed, therefore I could lay on the hot stone... More

I had very unpleasant experience. This is cheap but very touristic bath. They treat you understanding that you will never come back and won't recommend the bath to others. The bath is not clean, massage is rude, masseurs don't speak English. We were promised that bath is mixed and couples can meet in the bath in a special room but... More

Based on the price this place is for tourists. We decided to do our own thing rather than pay extra to be brushed and scrubbed down by some of the women working there.The prices are exorbitant for what you get but you can't go to Turkey and not got to a Turkish bath. They know this so in spite of... More

Apart from the central marble platform being VERY small the leaflet / flyer is a con. It states that the Haman is for ladies only on one side and mixed (male / female/ family) on the other side. However after having read the leaflet when my female partner and I (male) went there one evening the proprietor stated categorically that... More

It is located in a narrow street off Divan Yolu the main Street of Sultanahmet district in front of the Sultanahmet metro stop. It's cheaper than the other more famous hamams. The massages are OK, and men and women can enter in the same bath. It's open until midnight so it is a relaxing way to finish your walking days. More
