If your days around Sultanahmet are packed with museums and mosques, this hammam is a deliberate step away from them: it is across the Bosphorus in Üsküdar, on Doğancılar Street. The operator says the building dates to the late 15th century, though that could not be independently checked. Women and men use separate sections, and the treatments on offer are a kese scrub, massage, steam bath and sauna. It is a standalone business rather than part of a hotel, bookings can be made through its website, and the doors are open daily from 07:00 until midnight. Google shows 4.4 from 867 reviews.

What to expect on a first visit

The hammam has separate sections for women and men, with its own entrances and contact lines for each. The listed services are kese scrub, massage, steam bath and sauna. The website also mentions a 'vitamin bar', but what it covers is not specified, so ask. Treatment lengths and prices are not given in text; confirm them when you book.

Fitting it into an Old City trip

Üsküdar is on the Asian side, so plan it as a separate outing from Sultanahmet rather than a quick stop. From Sultanahmet you can take the T1 tram to Sirkeci or Eminönü, or Marmaray from Sirkeci; the onward connection to Üsküdar is not covered in our transport data, so check your route. Since it opens at 07:00 and closes at midnight, an early morning before the sights or an evening after them both work.

What works well

  • Very long opening hours: every day from 07:00 to midnight, so it can be fitted around a full sightseeing day
  • Separate women's and men's sections, with a clear treatment range of kese, massage, steam and sauna
  • Online booking through the website, and an independent operation not tied to a hotel

Worth knowing first

  • Prices and treatment durations are only shown as images on the website, so they are not listed here; ask before booking
  • It is in Üsküdar, not in the Old City, so it takes a separate trip across the water
  • Steam room
  • Turkish bath
  • Scrub and foam
  • Massage
  • Sauna
