The experience was wonderful; every detail was taken care of. At the entrance, we were greeted by Munire’s smile and kindness, and she explained everything to us with care and professionalism. I was there with my mother, and our attendants, Kismet and Gigdem, made our experience even more enjoyable. Professional and kind, they guided and pampered us throughout this wellness journey. A wonderful experience.

I was very impressed about the very famous place with his history brought to live. The Prozedures in the hamam was very hard ... but also very funny and relaxing. Erkan had arms like stone-pilars... My wife felt also very much a home at Dilek. I want to go back! Tobias

I really enjoyed the hammam experience — it was relaxing, authentic, and left me feeling completely refreshed. The whole atmosphere was calming and beautifully maintained, which made the experience even more special. A special thank you to Janet for the wonderful massage. She was professional, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the treatment. Her technique was excellent, and I left feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a high-quality hammam and massage experience.

A wonderful experience, a beautiful setting in a hammam dating back to 1741, and a warm welcome: I loved the exfoliation treatment followed by the bubble bath—something I’d never tried before! A must-try ;)

The experience is truly comprehensive, from the moment you arrive until you leave. The setting is stunning, and everyone who attended to us was incredibly friendly. It’s a very authentic experience. They make you feel comfortable at all times. It’s definitely worth it.

Enjoy entry to Cagaloglu Hammam and traditional Turkish bath treatments in a historic marble setting, where Ottoman sultans once relaxed.

Kick off with 15 minutes in a steam room, a 10-min kese scrub, and indulge in a bubble bath with a foam massage.

Go for the 60-min session to extend the bubble bath or choose the 80-min treatment to enjoy a 20-min foot massage.

Treat yourself to the 105-min spa for private aromatherapy and Turkish snacks, or opt for the 120-min package for a collagen mask glow-up!
