Royal Turkish Hamam &Spa — Local services in Fatih

I was skeptical after reading some reviews but decided to give it a try.

It was my second time to do hamam during my visit. The hammam and massage was good and the masseuse was attentive and checked if I was ok.

My previous hammam didn’t provide sauna or shower facility while this one did. The sauna was quite private. It was a good and the experience which proved that the reviews about bad experience were fake.

The owner told us that the bad reviews were caused by extortionists as he refused to pay them. It was such a pity as tourists could be misled by these fake reviews.

It’s better to check with the owner by WhatsApp if there’s availability. He was very responsive compared to others that’s why we chose his hotel.

The view of the rooftop is absolutely stunning. We didn’t try for the food...

Awful! It’s not a sauna -instead there is a very tiny cabin from OBI I guess-impossible to lay down. Haman -they call it hamam -it’s a room with marble ( kind of) in the middle to lay down-not hot ( they say it takes time to get hot ), not steaming ( they say it should not be steaming).

Came by good ratings-have no idea who are these people writing such an amazing reviews, guess it’s some kind of self written/cheating reviews. Complete disappointment. Left in the middle of “hamam”. Can’t say anything about massage. Very sad, took the best package and wanted to relax and...

Massage only: I booked a one-hour massage after walking 8 km, expecting it to help me relax, but the results were disappointing. They are not professional masseurs, and I don’t think they make any real distinction between a deep tissue massage and a Balinese massage. If you ask for advice on the matter, you won’t get much more information. I’ve had many massages around the world, but this was the first time the masseuse had rough hands despite using massage oil — needless to say, it’s not pleasant on the skin. The movements were far too fast, as if they wanted to get it over with quickly, even after pointing it out twice. I do not recommend it, as it is far too expensive...
