Fabulous experience - We had a fabulous time at the Hamam, so clean, so caring, so professional…. Our treatment was at 5pm , what we did not realise was there was a restaurant attached to the hamman which we initially thought would be a tourist rip off and although more expensive than your average restaurant was totally worth it for the food, service and ambiance, finished off the whole istanbul experience … wonderful .

Awesome experience - This was my 1st experience with a Turkish bath and it was amazing! From start to finish it felt like a pampering experience. The staff was super nice. The place was clean and beautiful. I highly recommend this experience!

World class - The experience was first class. The level of attention and attentiveness from the introduction all the way through to all of the treatments that I received was first class! I’ve told everyone back home how good it was and that I recommend your services very highly. Thanks so much for having me and I hope to see you again sometime in the future.

Professional service - This is my first hamam experience and it exceeded my expectations. All staff, from the time of check in until the service is completed, were very professional, and guided me on the steps. I would definitely will try hamam again when I visit Istanbul.

Wonderful - I would entirely recommend this service. I booked the basic service and a massage afterwards. The staff wasn’t extremely polite. The spa was gorgeous. The services were good however, my only recommendation is I requested a deep tissue massage and the pressure was not enough. However, the staff Was very sweet and accommodating. I would go back.

Over The Top Experience - Had 12 hour layover in Istanbul. Booked this hamam and added the massage. Absolutely worth the $200+. Sauna, scrub down, bubble massage, followed by transition to massage with tea and snacks. Massage followed by glass of bubbly and appetizers. Wear as much or as little as you are comfortable with. Ladies Hamam separated by mens Hamam. Had same experience in Kusadasi at Turkish Bath. This was over the top however. And left with a gift bag!

A must do experience if visiting Istanbul - My husband and I spent an afternoon and evening (in the restaurant) at the Cagaloglu. My was very unsure about the Hamam , but came out ‘glowing! and highly praising his attendants. The experience is wonderful , relaxing and energising. They are very professional and make you feel special. They explained the history of this beautiful building and it appears scrupulously clean and well maintained. We decided to stay for drinks and dinner and chose the tasting menu which was delicious ….so many courses ! Overall 5 stars all the way from us ⭐️
