I must have been particularly lucky as, when I went to Cagaloglu with my friends the place was not too crowded and we didn't have any waiting time at all. We chose the complete treatment for 60 euros which I highly recommend. They send you to a private room on the first floor (overlooking the beautiful hall) where you can... More

I went with my 2 teenage girls with all those negative reports from Tripadvisor in my head. But I asked a Turk that highly recommended it... So decided to go anyway and our experience was a good and relaxing one. True that the smile is not a big part of the package but isn't it like this overall in Turkey... More

This place was recommened by our hotel when we asked about "the best" Hammam. It was kind of awkward initially when they tell you to get undressed and then lead you into the room and drop you off. I didn't know where to sit or what to do as it seemed very busy and no one instructed me on what... More

This was my second visit and m y friend's first visit to Cagaloglu. It was a blissful experience where we spent about 2 hours. From reading a number of the lower rated reviews here I would have to say that going at the right time will have a huge impact on your experience. To avoid crowds we went relatively early... More

Not bad, but I expected more for the price of 50 euros. The whole service lasted about 40 minutes from where I sat alone 20-25 minutes in the hammam. Massage was short and not very good - my attendant certainly wasn't skilled masseuse... but it probably depends on who you get. All in all, it was nice to experience turkish... More

Tip: Go in the morning when it is not too busy - or at any other time of the day as long as it is not too busy. The location is very central so you could go check and decide then if ot is a good time for you. Dress-code: No need for a bikini; local women go naked. You... More

The Deluxe treatment provided me over an hour of pampered treatment by an attendant that was skilled in massage and providing a truly therapeutic service. Liberating experience as a woman. Recommended HIGHLY.

All the guide books insist that you experience the traditional hamam. I went with my sisters and enjoyed the experience but it is really pricey and not very good value for money. We had good fun though. A good scrub and the massage was ok. You really HAD to tip as they were not letting you go until you did......
