Nuture yourself - It's worth taking the time to experience a luxury hamam with close to 300 years of activity. Nurcan led me by the hand through the entire experience of hot sauna, scrub, clay, bubble massage, relaxation, scented massage & lunch. A true inside/outside life contrast & self-care event.

Heavenly - I went with my mother to experience the hamam. The staff were warm and friendly. The facility was beautiful and treatment felt amazing. Our only problem was that our booking was at 12:00 and the hamam insisted it was 13:00 ( I had a ticket that said 12:00). Nevertheless they started our bath 30 minutes after we arrived and served us tea as we waited.

The ambience and service justifies the extra price - The Hamam was unique. The location is beautiful and the service was top notch. The treatment includes shampoos, creams and amenities such as cotton swabs, a comb, etc. The hairdryers available are strong enough for thick, long hair. There was tea and Turkish honey to relax with afterwards. The Hamam has separate men's and women's areas.

Awesome experience! - We had the most incredible experience at the Cagaloglu Hammam. We were welcomed by the kindest gentlemen. He explained what the hammam would entail. My husband and I went our separate ways to the male and female areas. Both of our therapists were incredible. The bubbles that I experienced were wonderful. The massage was fabulous. Afterwards we had tea, treats and some sweet Turkish wine. This truly was the highlight of our trip to Istanbul. I highly recommend it to anyone is visiting the area.
