I, and many friends of mine, had a great experience! The trick is to not expect too much, especially when reading the advertised durations, and just let the experience happen. I think we spend about an hour for the traditional scrub, bubble massage, head washing and just relaxing in the heat. A small part of our group felt like their experience was clearly more rushed than the others. So things might depend on who's assigned to take care of you.

The Turkish bath experience in a building of the 16th century Ottoman architect Sinan was exciting. Being my first time in an experience like this, I can't compare, I tried to live it and observe it. I have been to different Spas and I know it is not comparable, if I can say something negative it is that it lasted less than an hour.

Too expensive for the less than 1 hour treatment! I loved the venue and the masseurs were good but it was just too little for the cost. Probably twice as expensive as it should be. And then to cap it off the masseurs wanted tips and stood around waiting for it. They did nothing beyond the basics so why should I give a tip! Finally the juice was an extra cost, really?!
