If you're staying in the Old City and want a hamam without crossing town, this hotel in Alemdar is one to look at. It sits in a restored historic building within walking distance of Hagia Sophia, and its spa, Turkish bath and pool are all inside the hotel. The pool looks out toward Hagia Sophia. Google shows 4.4 from about 7,200 reviews, though that score covers the hotel as a whole, not the spa alone. The website gives no service list, durations or prices, and doesn't say whether the hamam is separated by gender or mixed, so those questions need a phone call or an email.

Your first visit here

The hotel has a Turkish hamam, a spa and a pool. The treatment list, session lengths and prices are not published, so ask before you go. Also ask whether the hamam is separated by gender or mixed, whether non-guests can book, and whether a reservation is required, as none of this is stated. Opening hours are not listed either.

Fitting it into an Old City day

The hotel is in Alemdar, close to Hagia Sophia and also tied to Divanyolu and Cağaloğlu. The T1 tram stops at Sultanahmet and Gülhane, and Sirkeci and Eminönü are a few stops further. Since the opening hours are unknown, confirm a time first. A sensible plan is to see the mosques and museums in the morning and book the hamam for late afternoon, when your feet need a rest.

What works well

  • Restored historic building in Alemdar, within walking distance of Hagia Sophia
  • Hamam, spa and pool are all in one place inside the hotel
  • The pool has a view of Hagia Sophia

Worth knowing first

  • Services, durations and prices aren't published on the website, so you need to call to find out
  • Whether the hamam and spa are gender-separated or mixed isn't stated, and neither is whether booking is required
  • Turkish bath
  • Pool
  • Inside a hotel
