Visited Çukurcuma Hamam this morning to experience The Sultana for both my wife and I. What a fabulous experience it was! First of all a Turkish Bath ‘ritual’ with a rigorous body scrub, and relaxing bubbles. Followed by a thorough all body massage. It was a perfect way to end a visit to Istanbul with a lot of walking tours all week. I would highly recommend and would definitely book again if I get the chance to return!

My wife and I had the most wonderful experience at Çukurcuma Hamamı 1831! From the moment we arrived, Yuliya and Kübra at the front welcomed us with such warmth and kindeals. Their hospitality immediately made us feel comfortable and welcomed Our hammam experience with Gülçehre and Tungaa was truly unforgettable. They were incredibly professional, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable and cared for throughout the entire experience. For my wife and me, this was more than just a visit to a hammam, it was a genuinely special and memorable experience that we feel fortunate to have shared together during our time in Istanbul. The beautiful atmosphere, the history of the hammam, and especially the people made the entire experience exceptional. From Yuliya and Kübra welcoming us at the front to Gülçehre and Tungaa taking such wonderful care of us during the hammam, the level of service was outstanding from beginning to end. We already know that we want to return the next time we are in Istanbul! We highly recommend Çukurcuma Hamamı 1831 to anyone visiting Istanbul. Everyone should experience a traditional Turkish hammam at least once in their life, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place for our first experience. Thank you Yuliya, Kübra, Gülçehre, Tungaa, and the entire Çukurcuma Hamamı 1831 team for making this one of the most memorable experiences of our trip!
We did the Sultana experience here as a couple. Songul and Tunga were our therapists and offered an exceptional 60 minute deep massage after the scrb and hammam and relaxation with tea. Don't miss while in Istanbul!
Wonderful experience, very relaxing and the staff helped us feel totally at ease on our first Hamman experience. The design is beautiful and cleanliness 10/10 Tonquil and Zebo were especially lovely they treated us respectfully , both had a good sense of humour and we would definitely return here next time we visit Istanbul . If you are in any doubt just book it you will love it here and even a week later our skin still feels incredible.
We loved our Hammam experience! It was so relaxing and the massage really worked out all those walking kinks! The place is beautiful and comfortable and the people are wonderful. Definitely an experience to enjoy!
We enjoyed our time here--we were the only ones receiving treatment which made the experience even better since it was private. The facility is beautiful and we felt pampered and relaxed.
Incredible experience with my wife. We didn’t know what to expect and were not disappointed. From the U.S. and the experience is not something we see offered, so we had to try. We would 100% visit again!
Amazing experience. Very clean and super well executed. Would definitely come again
Me and my partner visited the hammam for a relaxing evening. The facility is clean and tranquil and the staff was kind and accommodating. Tunga was my personal therapist and was professional and attentive about checking in with my comfort throughout my session.
My mom and I absolutely loved this place. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with such a warm welcome and made to feel completely at home. Every member of the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making our visit special. A special thank you to Erkul, whose hospitality and kindness were outstanding. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We also want to give a huge thank you to Lora and Serda, who gave us the most amazing hammam experience. They took such great care of us we didn’t have to lift a finger! Their skill, attention to detail, and calming nature made the entire experience so relaxing and luxurious. We left feeling completely refreshed, rejuvenated, and honestly, we didn’t want to leave! If you’re looking for an authentic Turkish hammam with exceptional service, this is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back!
Amazing experience from the reception with Erkul that explained all the treatments to me and the hamman with the excelent terapist Ibrahim. I fully recommend the place!
It was very nice experience a good body message and people are really friendly
I had the most amazing experience there, my masseur Gül was so friendly and professional and made me feel very taken care of. I was a bit nervous because it was my first time experience but she definitely made me feel at home. Strongly recommended!! :)
We had a wonderful couples hammam experience and couldn’t be happier with our visit. The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and the therapists were incredibly attentive and professional throughout. Sharing the experience as a couple made it even more special, and we loved spending time in the relaxation room afterwards. The location is also fantastic, right in the heart of beautiful Çukurcuma. A truly relaxing and memorable experience. We would happily return and highly recommend it.
We had our first Turkish bath experience here and it was an incredible experience. After researching so many different places available in Istanbul, I chose this one. It was walking distance to our hotel and had really great reviews. It was honestly the highlight of our short time in Istanbul. Our check in was great with Doga, she was so sweet. My therapist was Tunga and she was wonderful. It was the most luxurious experience I have ever had. The hammam is beautiful and decorated in all white which felt very calming and relaxing. If you are searching for a place and don’t know which to choose, this hammam is what you are looking for.
Beautiful surroundings. Outstanding staff and service.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. We both had the Traditional Turkish Hammam and found it relaxing and peaceful. It was my first time having a hammam and I would definitely go back. The atmosphere was not intimidating and very professional ( a shout to Fethiye and Mehmet )
I had a great experience at the Turkish bath, my therapist was fantastic and the whole experience was relaxing and invigorating at the same time. I would recommend it to anyone.
From the moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into another world — the décor alone is stunning, intricate tile work, and that calm, luxurious atmosphere that just melts the stress away before you even start your treatment. The staff made our whole experience! They were so warm, attentive, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing — we felt genuinely taken care of the entire time, never rushed, always comfortable. It's rare to find a place where the service feels this personal and thoughtful. We cannot speak for other local Turkish bathhouse but our experience here was more than we ever expected - it the very best way possible. The treatment itself was pure indulgence. We left feeling like a completely relaxed, refreshed, and honestly a little sad to leave. If you're even considering treating yourself, don't overthink it. This is one of those experiences you'll regret skipping
Go now: book a ticket to Istanbul, make a reservation and go. Thank me later. Heritage hammam in a beautiful part of town. Staff were friendly, professional and kind. The facilities were spotlessly clean and modern but also capture the feeling of stepping back in time. Privately changing rooms with mixed gender spa and lounge facilities. We left feeling clean, relaxed and already planning our next trip.
I highly recommend Cukurcuma Hammami. In general people and therapist are very gentle and attentive. The place is impecable.
We had such a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and the traditional soap massage was one of the highlights of our visit. Duğa took great care of us from the moment we arrived, explaining each step of the Hammam ritual and making us feel comfortable throughout. She truly made our experience extra special. A lovely surprise was the birthday gesture they even gave me a birthday discount, which was such a thoughtful touch! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul and looking for an authentic and relaxing hammam experience. Just a note for future visitors: this is a mixed-gender Hammam.
So relaxing and invigorating at the same time. Very discreet and professional. Super hygienic premises, would love to have time to do it again.
Wonderful experience. Cannot recommend it enough. This was our first time, and I spent hours trying to find the right one to book. I liked how this was private, so you could go with any gender (our therapists were opposite sex, for example). Great experience.
Unbelievable. Got off our overnight flight like zombies. Came here after researching couples Turkish baths. The spa was phenomenal. Great staff, beautiful spa, super relaxing. And we were able to share a room. Came out walking on air
This is a great experience and something I would do again. Very relaxing. Only confusion was we thought a longer massage was included at the end.
A wonderful experience from beginning to end. The hammam treatment was deeply relaxing and authentic, and the staff were incredibly kind and professional. Highly recommended.

Çukurcuma Hamamı was a wonderful experience. I went with my husband, and we both really loved it. It was our first time trying a Turkish bath, and the staff made us feel comfortable from start to finish. Gul and all staff were attentive, pleasant, and professional. Overall, it was a great experience and a highlight of our time in Turkey. Looking forward to returning!

It was very nice and excited evening. Specjały for Gumiz i Fezila, ❤️💋
It was my husband and my first time at a Turkish bath. We choose it because we can go as a couple. They provided us with disposable bikini and shorts for husband. The each room has a traditional look and beautiful with herbal scent that made me comfortable and at ease. The staff member are very professional from beginning to end and I felt I am a queen. We relaxed with a cup of tea and Turkish delight. I had a facial while my husband dosed off comfortably. It was a superb experiences and we will definitely recommend to try this Hamam. .
I went in for a sports massage and body workup. For an amazing time.. The marble and building were beautiful. Floors and tables were heated, water temp perfect. Never experienced a bubble massage before it was something I look forward to trying again. This was one of my best experiences in Istanbul.
My husband and I had the Hamamm followed by a massage. Tunga and Gul made the experience so amazing. It was the best massage I have ever had in my life and my skin has never felt so amazing! Add on the face mask! You will not regret it.
What an experience. Beautiful building and marble. The people were so great. I booked a water treatment, bubble massage and sports massage. There was some other stuff in there too. Some of it was lost in translation but I would go back in a heartbeat. It's been about 24 hours and my skin's So soft. Slept so good. Thanks so much
I had a very nice massage and relaxation. Moderate strength massage was just right. I suggest having the cold water splash, as very invigorating. Massage followed by some nice Turkish delight. No hard sell for extras. Thoroughly recommend.
I had a very pleasant experience at Çukurcuma Hamamı. Everything was very clean and well maintained, and I received a warm welcome from the start. The service was professional and enjoyable, making you feel at ease right away. After the treatment, you leave feeling completely relaxed. Highly recommended!
Thank you very much for the wonderful experience not only for the body bit also for the soul a perfect balance. Definitely all come back Thank you Best regard s I.B
We had a great time at the Cukurcuma Hamani 1831. Everybody was very kind and happy to help. The treatments were fabulous because they were performed very professionally and friendly at the same time. All of this takes place in a wonderful setting and atmosphere. We will be back.
A have-to-have experience. The atmosphere, the massages (especially the bubble massage), the personnel touch for a family experience, we absolutely loved it. 100% recommended!
Amazing experience. Beautiful place. And Abraham was so good. I get lots of deep tissue massages and his was one of the best!
I am so glad I chose Cukurcuma Hamami for my first hammam experience. The architecture and tranquil atmosphere are stunning. A special thanks to the lovely Fethiye for her amazing energy. It was also a fantastic experience for couples, as we loved being able to share this moment together in such a beautiful environment.
We found this Hamam because we stayed near the Galata Tower and made a reservation super quick on-line. Upon arrival, they were very helpful, friendly and after a few instructions, we got placed in back room for a warm soak, which was followed by a full body scrub and a bubble massage. The bubble massage was new to my wife and I. We opted for the extra facial goo-mask type of thing that my wife wanted. So I tried it and was pleasantly surprised at the results. We were both well taken care of pampered.
Great experience to do in Istanbul. You will enjoy of a foam and exfoliant massage. The facilities create the perfect environment to relax with their hot stone baths. After the ritual you can enjoy a relaxing moment while you have a tea.
overall I really cant complain because we are in Istanbul on vacation and the facilities were beautiful and the experience was "nice"; however I have done Hamam before (shout out to Maxamium Hamam in Kudasi!) and I felt that this experience was way more overpriced, rushed and less friendly or thorough then what've ive had before. The facilities are stunning. We opted for a longer experience - the Sultan package as a steep price of $270 EU pp plus the face mask option. I was happy to pay ALMOST DOUBLE what i've paid in the past for the same experience elsewhere; hoping it would be fantastic and might have just been Istanbul big city pricing; however the experience was overall just a little rough around the edges, felt rushed or timed and just lacking a bit of hospitality. I felt the scrub was not as thorough as what i've had before. To start, they put us on the heated marble to SOAK OURSELVES. I felt this was strange as previous Hamam's THEY did the work of pouring on us and it was quite nice. With this experience I felt they sort of abruptly placed us there on our own to do it ourselves. We were confused but obliged. Then they returned to do what i thought was a very quick and not very through scrub with the mit. Once again, I felt that previous hamams ive done did a better and more thorough job of the scrub. This one had us sitting which i felt was less relaxing then previous experiences where I have been laid down even for the scrub part. I also felt that they didnt take the time or extra care on the feet/heels like other comparable experiences. The attendant I had was "nice" but a little direct/ abrupt. Perhaps a language barrier? but once again, ive had previous experiences with a difference in language that were just generally kinder/softer and more attentive in their approach which overall made you feel more calm, relaxed and cared for. She got soap in my eyes during the shampoo which burned. The massage was good and likely the best part. I could not image going all the way there and spending that kind of money just on the Hammam part and not getting the massage otherwise it would have been a complete waste for me. On a positive note, I liked that this Hammam offered for couples to be together (although massages were only offered separate) AND they could accommodate a FEMALE therapist for both my husband and I which is not really traditional. Overall i don't feel this was worth the hefty bill. The venue itself in beautiful!
Had an hour here - bubble massage - really fun experience and a really nice setting. Excellent Englis. Recommend if you have a few hours free
The ladies at Cukurcuma were phenomenal! Ms. Fazeali (sp?) was lovely!! The scrub and massage were on point. The wind down after with herbal tea was a extra luxurious treat. Don't miss treating yourself at Cukurcuma!!!
My husband and I shared a lovely Hammam experience. The service at this Hammam is excellent. Therapists Sara and Dilara did a wonderful job.
This is one of the few places where couples can go together for a hammam. It is a modern version of a classic Turkish experience. The hammam was done together and then we did massages separately. The different treatment providers were all excellent. The facility is very clean and well appointed. Highly recommended.
I love this place - the staff was amazing and the treatment as well. Me and my friends did the whole experience and we adored the vibe.
