An extraordinary Turkish Hamam experience! - An extraordinary Turkish Hamam experience! Visiting Acelogu Historicak hamam was a great beginning of my trip to Istanbul. The beautiful marble interiors and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were very professional and welcoming, guiding me through each step of the ritual. The traditional scrub and foam massage was very good and the massage was a real, deep massage. We left feeling lighter, softer, and completely renewed.

Great family hammam - We took a family private hammam. After a bit of a muddle when we arrived, as two other groups arrived at the same time, the staff made us very welcome. We took a swim, sauna, steam before, the enjoyed a family hammam and massage. The experience couldn’t have been more enjoyable in such a beautifully historic setting. I would totally recommend it at the start of your trip to Istanbul. Thank you 🙏

Cruise Activity - We were in Istanbul for one day as we were on a cruise. We walked everywhere very easily. Instead of doing a tour of the blue mosque etc, we decided to see those amazing buildings from the outside and go for an authentic Turkish bath. It was AMAZING! I went with my husband and parents. This is one of the few establishments that allows mixed bathing. We remained together until we went for our massages (added extra, trust me add it on) My therapist Cindy, looked after me ensuring nothing went in my eyes and the massage she gives is pure heaven!

Great experience - Experience was just as described + more. A friend and I went with the 30 min massage option. I think maybe they won't quite ready for us so they let us use the pool/sauna/steam room area first. The resting area did feel a little rushed--I just started sipping my tea when I was taken to the massage; the resting area was also hot (I thought they were supposed to be cool--I was afraid I'd sweat again after my bath!). They could also fix a couple of small maintenance issues- ex toilet stall door that doesn't close. The staff was very nice. I would do this again if visiting Istanbul

Traditional experience - My husband and I went for our first hamman here in Istanbul. We started off lying in a private room on a raised heated table, top to toe. First was exfoliation, then a milky foam, followed by being rinsed off - warm then cold! We then had a tea and water followed by a Turkish massage in a different room. We had fun! We enjoyed the experience and had very soft skin afterwards!

Great first hamam experience - This was my first hamam experience and I was very well taken care of by Lass, who was absolutely lovely and very professional. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The package I went for included a massage, which was great. It was a really nice surprise to be offered use of the pool afterwards and there was a sauna and steam room. I felt much more relaxed afterwards.

A Truly Rejuvenating First Turkish Bath, Amazing Experience from Start to Finish - I just had my very first Turkish bath experience with my wife for our joint birthday at Acemoğlu Historical Turkish Bath with Private Options, and it was absolutely amazing from the moment we walked in the door until we left. Walking in, the host immediately put us at ease the warm marble, the lighting, the warmth of the water. The staff welcomed us graciously and explained everything so we knew what to expect. The private option was a real treat, having that personal space made the entire experience feel special and intimate. Definitely will visit again, you should try it too.

Pretty AWFUL! - I would NOT go here! The hamam itself is lovely, but products were huge vats of washing-up liquid. The changing facilities are atrocious, the staff very unprofessional and we left feeling dirty and violated after what felt like a slapdash massage, with masseuses giggling and chatting throughout, scratches on backs and covered in what was likely cooking oil.
