Visited twice in May 2026 and my experience was rather mixed. I would high five it for its cleanliness, low price for cabin, dry warm towels and the tiny darkroom in an unusual shower setup. I also ventured to try the massage with a good-looking well-built guy inside the massage room near the toilets but regretted it very soon since the massage was below average. I ran out of liras at checkout but they did accept US dollars at front desk. I would recommend newcomers stay in the common area of this place.
Turkish baths are number 1 and so is this bath. A very pleasant atmosphere and awesome service.
This isn't a traditional Turkish bath or sauna; it's more of a meeting place frequented by middle-aged and mature men. Inside, there are plenty of shower stalls and a sauna – the sauna isn't bad, but the main reason people come is for the dark room next to it. Especially on weekends, you might witness or participate in some pretty wild moments. Aside from that, the staff are helpful, and other customers don't pressure you into anything.
I don't understand the negative reviews. This sauna is completely decent. The staff is very friendly and smiling from the moment you enter. The locker room is large. It's clean and odorless. The clients are mostly mature men. No one forces you to use any additional services. I can honestly recommend it. It's simply a great place.
