I've had massages many times before, but this one was really one of the best. Ender knows exactly what he's doing; he has so much experience and empathy, so you can just let yourself go and relax to 100%. After the massage, I felt so light and well. Everything is very clean, they even served us cay and some fresh snacks like organic carrots and cucumbers😊. I'll definitely be back!

I can't recommend this place enough. It was my first time experiencing a hamam and this place set a standard for me. Everyone was very attentive and made sure I got the best experience possible. Full Turkish bath experience and tea, fresh cut vegetables, and Turkish delight after words. It was the perfect start to my time in Istanbul,especially after an 11 hour flight. Dr Orham and crew are top notch.

This was a great experience. The best scrub and massage ever. It is not bougie and you are scrubbed and massaged by men that are 100% professional. You will get your moneys worth. Much more so than the places on the European side. Highly recommend.

They dont have this ANYWHERE in the U.S, this was hands down the best experience ive had at any Spa/Massage therapy center/Sauna etc. This was perfect for a long trip out the country, with lots of walking. Dr. Orhan was truly amazing, from the beginning starting with the wet sauna, moving to the dry sauna, to the turkish shower, and then finally moving to the deep tissue full body massage. A mix of laughter and relaxation. After the massage the bubble foam therapist guided bath was a life experience ill probably never find in the the U.S. Hamams are where its at.

Even the walk to the sauna was an experience. We walked from Kadıköy Iskele and really got to feel a genuine part of Turkey along the way. The sauna itself is a bit hidden, which makes it feel even more special. From the very first moment, the welcome was warm and friendly, and we immediately felt comfortable. Everything is very clean, and the massages and treatments are simply amazing. I highly recommend booking a full package – it’s worth every lira. If you want to experience a real, authentic hammam and avoid overpriced tourist places, this is exactly the right spot. Thank you for this great experience!
