Aquarius Sauna — Local services in Beyoğlu

Hi, globe trotter from Sydney, Australia here. Just thought I’ll give this establishment a fairer review. It took me 2 days to decide whether I should step inside this sauna due to horrible reviews. This place is more of a gay sauna than your usual traditional hammam. Do not go there for hammam unless you’re that naive. I really enjoyed the experience because I went with an intention. I wanted to have a great time with as many hot sexy men as possible and I did just that. Istanbul needs tourist like me. Most of guys are hot and masculine. They are very much my type. You need to walk-in with an intention. Your generosity, fun and giving personality will guarantee you a good time. We all go to work because we want to earn to support our ourselves and our loved ones, and these guys are no different to any of us. This place definitely not new nor very clean, but like all gay saunas, they are all a bit shabby. Spent my last two days there and had a great time with 6 of them. Here’s what you expect to pay. Make sure you negotiate first. To enter is 50 liras. For a normal massage it’s 100 liras. For a happy ending massage it’s another 100 to 150 liras. To be honest, I gave them more than I should. I gave them between 250 to 300 liras each. They don’t harass you. They are there to work, thus, they will approach you to offer their service. You definitely can say NO and they wouldn’t get upset or aggressive. I felt very safe there. Have fun!...

Ok I agree this is not the cleanest sauna. The rooms in the basement are close to toilet, thus very smelly. Rooms upstairs are humid and uncomfortable. This is not a hammam but you can hire some boys here. However the quality of boys are a bit disappointing compared to saunas in Spain or Brazil. I don't know why they don't hire some sexy syrians or Africans who would do much better job. The massage is from 100-150 but if you want full service it's 250-350. 350 is your touristy price lol I have been to this three times and hired probably 8 guys. A tall muscular guy called Ali was totally useless because he couldn't get hard. Another guy whose name was turam (short guy with Ataturk looking mustache) was also bad with empty promises. I think the sauna should remove guys like them because they cannot deliver and undermine the entire experience or damage other good guys. Bilal was friendly and an excellent performer, so highly recommended if you are after for good time. Taimur was also friendly and good performer with a huge tool. He claims he has the biggest in the sauna so you might wanna try him if that is what you want. The rest were unmemorable. I hope the sauna managers hire more attractive guys with nice body and can perform and remove sluggers...

I visit Aquarius Sauna every time I'm in Istanbul, and honestly, I always have a great time! Sure, the place might be a bit run-down, but it has its own charm. The standout, and main reason I keep coming back is definitely the guys who work there. They’re all straight, hot, and genuinely charming. If you opt for any of their services, you're in good hands – they really know what they're doing! ;) The prices are already reasonable, especially compared to similar places in the US and Europe. I saw a guest trying to haggle while I was there, and it was so embarrassing and disrespectful to the guys, so don’t be cheap! It's rude. I personally always leave feeling blissful. There's no place in Turkey like it, where else will you find straight Turkish guys like this available to you? It’s also safe and discreet, which is a huge plus! I’ve had scary experiences with guys on apps and online sites in Istanbul, scammers who take your money and run. Plus, hotel staff can make you feel uncomfortable. This place gives me peace of mind and great...
