Kösem Sultan Hamam (Byzantium Hotel)
If you are staying near Sultanahmet and have never been to a hamam, this one is on Akbıyık Street in Cankurtaran, the quarter that also covers the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque area. The place is tied to the Byzantium Hotel, though whether it is inside the hotel or next to it has not been confirmed. You choose between three packages, Silver at 55 euros, Gold at 75 and VIP at 90, and the site also lists a sauna, a steam room and massages. Doors are open every day from 11:00 to 22:00, so it can fit around a day of sightseeing. Google shows 4.9 from 716 reviews, but what each package contains is not clear from the site.
What to expect on a first visit
The offer is built around three packages (Silver, Gold, VIP), with hamam, sauna, steam room and massage listed as facilities. A scrub-and-foam treatment appears among the features, but whether it is part of each package is not confirmed. Package contents, session lengths and the separation of women's and men's areas are not stated, so ask when you book. Whether a reservation is required is also not stated; the site offers booking by phone or online.
Fitting it into an Old City day
The hamam is in Cankurtaran, close to the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque area. The nearest T1 tram stop on the list is Sultanahmet, with Gülhane as the next one; the walking time from either is not given, so check it on a map. With opening hours of 11:00 to 22:00, it suits the afternoon or evening after the museums and mosques. A late slot also works as a way to end the day.
