    The steps are simple: Pay the money, take the towels, go to the dome room, lay down for 10 min, the washer will come inside to do the hamam, do the oil message - in 200 - and finally have the shower.

    The 200 liras package is useless, I will come next time to choose only the lowest charge as this is what you want really to do.

    Most enjoyable experience! I loved the hard foam rub and the heat and the atmosphere! Maybe you can go cheaper but this was most amazing...try the fresh pomegranade juice :-)

    Amazing experience, a must-do. Very professional. You go topless for the traditional. Cafe is a rip off. Make sure you have plenty of time if you wish to do manicures etc.

    Located in historic Çemberlitaş in Old Town, the hamam was built in 1584 for Nurbanu Sultan. You will feel the history when you walk through the arches in the building.

    Great experience, I would go there again although the price is a little bit high .. but it's considered responsible compared to other hammams. It's very clean and the staff members are friendly.

    Great experience. Appears to be a better value than the others we explored on the peninsula. We went for a 2 hour hamam, oil massage and Indian head rub. All were solid.

    It is a hygienic and very typical Turkish Hamam frequented by the locals as well as tourists. Slightly pricey for the kind of care yet it is hygienic

    I got the DIY package and it was really great. After the whole day walking it's nice to go there to relax. The place is beautiful.

    If you want to experience a Turkish bath this historic venue is the place to go to. Prices are reasonable & the experience is worth it!

    Historic location, worn out looks (on purpose or not); hamam service & massage were very good; tip expected; crowded place; free poor wi-fi; decent prices;

    Go for the full service – you deserve it. I can't compare it to other hamams – but the venue itself (by Sinan) makes the experience special.

    Nice massage and scrub experience. Remember that the attendant will ask you to tip him. 5-10 TL will be fine - depending on the service.

    Get the whole experience and splurge. The oil massage is worth it and the best part. Bring cash to tip.

    This is a bath house near the Grand Bazaar where you'll get the unwinding you need. Some of the services offered are the traditional method, reflexology, oil massage, etc.

    A crowded, impersonal scene -- really a production line. Disappointed that scrub was superficial, only fronts & backs of limbs & torso, not sides! No exfoliation of hands, feet, heels, fingers, toes.

    Says it's open until 12am but don't arrive past 9:30pm. Upstairs lounge was already closed & the female staff was already packing up to go and left by 10:30. My 15 min 'scrub' was more like 7 min.

    It's a particulary good place to come if you've never visited a Turkish bath before and are unsure of the etiquette.

    Strongly avoid this place!!! They just stole my money from my bag in the locker while I was in the hammam. Staff very rude. To be reported to the police. Do not go!
