This was an absolutely amazing experience. Going from the bustling market just a few minutes walk away, stepping into the baths is like taking a step back in time. It's totally quiet inside, the sauna is the perfect temperature. It's quiet, not crowded at all and feels just peaceful. The scrub and massage were incredible!!!! Honestly the best spa/massage/scrub experience of my life, the therapists were lovely, they made us feel very comfortable. We chose the 45 minute package, sauna, scrub, massage because we didn't have much time but it didn't feel short, it was perfect. We will definitely be back!!

Nice place, friendly staff but frankly 190 Euro for one hour of water splashing / washing is prohibitively expensive. Incredible! Same price like a 4 to 5 hours tour in Morocco on hot Air balloon incl. Hotel pick-up Marrakesch and Berber breakfast. No Relation, No Connection. Just mad price in that Hammam, I am sorry to say.
