Awesome! - Perfecr first time Turkish bath! We wanted to try this so bad on our trip but we traveled with our children ages 11,9,7 and so we needed a Hamam that accepts families and this was it! They gave us a private room with the do-it-yourself option and it was perfection. They walked us through all the steps and it was super easy to follow 💜 the price was also right on point! Highly recommended.

Genuinely authentic, best thing I’ve done in Istanbul - Unreal Hamam Experience in Istanbul, A Must-Do!
As an Aussie travelling through Istanbul, I was dead set on finding a proper, authentic Turkish bath none of that tourist trap stuff. After asking around and doing a bit of digging, I ended up at Kılıç Ali Paşa Hamamı in Karaköy… and honestly, it blew me away.
The place itself is stunning, Ottoman era architecture, with these massive domes and warm marble everywhere. You walk in and immediately feel calm. It’s not some flashy modern spa it’s traditional, classy, and really well looked after.
I went for the full treatment, warm up room, then the proper kese scrub (seriously, they scrub off layers you didn’t even know you had), followed by this dreamy bubble wash massage. Afterwards, they wrapped me up in towels and gave me sherbet and tea to chill with.
What I loved most?
It felt genuinely authentic. The staff were respectful and professional and everything ran smoothly without feeling rushed or commercial. I’ve done spa treatments before, but this felt like something way deeper.
You leave feeling lighter, both physically and mentally.
Quick tips for fellow Aussies:
• Book ahead it’s popular for a reason.
• Go with an open mind the scrubbing’s intense but worth it.
• No need to bring anything they sort you out with all the gear.
• Don’t skip the tea!
If you’re after the real hamam experience in Istanbul, this is it. It’s one of the best things I’ve done on this trip felt like I got a piece of the culture, not just a fancy bath.

Such a cool experience! - The ladies who gave us our Turkish bath and massage were wonderful. It’s such a cool experience and makes you feel like royalty. Great customer service from start to finish. Ladies bring your hair brush and make-up if you’re not going back to your hotel afterwards, as you are literally scrubbed from head to toe.

Overestimated for the service - 25€ per person for the service. This is very overrated. Contrary to the photos highlighted, there was no access to a pool, no swimming pool.

Needs upgrading - First thing is that the haman is located in the hotel, but is not clearly labeled. If tou ask for the spa you get sent to the hotel.spa which is not the same.
Second is that the place is in need of some upgrading. It is pretty dingy.
The locker room are two closet sized room with multiple lockers. There is no place to sit while you change or anything. They are only big enough for one person to stand and change (two if you're small and don't mind being up close and personal) so if you go with a group there is that.
We also each booked separately but somehow we were placed in the massage rooms as pairs which was not anticipated. They also kept opening the door and leaving it open as we were lying there naked from the top up.
The ambiance is also not very relaxing. During our massages blaring commercials frequently interrupted the spa music. They need to invest in ad free options.
And lastly there was nothing semi private about what we experienced. The scrub itself was nice and well done but overall it wasn't the expected experience and I would definitely pick a different bathhouse next time
