Best Spas and Hamams in Haseki

Haseki is a residential neighbourhood in Istanbul's Fatih district, on the western side of the historic peninsula between Aksaray and Fındıkzade. It is named after the Haseki Sultan complex and is known today for Haseki Hospital. We do not currently list any spa or hamam in Haseki itself; the traditional bathhouses that visitors usually look for are in Sultanahmet and Laleli, a short ride away on the same tram line. Haseki suits travellers who prefer a quieter, local-feeling area and don't mind a short tram ride to reach the old-city hamams.

12 spas and hamams in Haseki that we reviewed and listed. 9 of them are traditional Turkish baths. Ranked by editor score; sponsored entries are clearly labelled and never affect the score. 12 of them sit just outside the area boundary and are shown with distance.
