Türk olarak önerim

It is the most well-known bathhouse due to its location. Yes, it is comfortable inside, but unfortunately it is very old and needs to be cleaned and maintained. A friend of mine says he got a fungus.

Relaxed atmosphere

Really nice Hamamm, prices clearly laid out. No pressure to have addition services however the scrub and massage are inexpensive and worth the prices displayed on entry.

Relax and enjoy

The second hamam I visited during my vacation in Istanbul. Very traditional hamam/sauna. Both dry and wet sauna full of actions with local and tourists. Again great service and nice and very friendly staff with inexpensive prices for scrub, oil massage and foam wash. All was done very professional and I enjoyed it in full. No extra services was offered, which was good. It was very busy at around 3PM but also up to New Year. No real dark rooms but actions in the saunas which was okay. Also a place to visit again.

Busy on a Sunday afternoon

A local on grindr recommended going about 4pm on Sunday. He wasn't wrong, it was very busy, a wide range of guys, I would say the crowd was skewed more younger than you may find in british/european saunas with not many seeming to be over 55 or so. Most of the play was of a discrete nature, people were hanging around the toilets (which was the entrance to the showers) so I think most people use the showers for sex. It had a decent sized dry and steam saunas, then a few rooms where you sit and throw water over yourself. But some of these were very brightly lit and didn't really feel all that sexy. Entry was 200 lira, cash only, can't remember the prices of the various massages, but these took place is private rooms.

enjoyed myself

met a local on grindr and he asked if I had been to the gay hammam. I enthusiastically agreed to go as I didn't know a gay one existed. It was a Sunday evening around 5-6 and it was busy. We had to wait to get a room where we changed into the peshtemal they provided along with shower shoes. My friend then led me to the main room where you dump hot/cold water on yourself. The room was pretty cruisy and brightly lit. There are a couple of similar but smaller rooms. Next we went to the steam room and sauna room. Lots of action (groping mostly, some making out, nothing too hardcore) in these small rooms as well as nearby showers. Next my friend signed me up for a scrub and bubble massage. All done on a marble slab with a guy in a peshtamel smoking a cigarette. Was a great experience. After he offered an “erotic” massage but wasn't interested. When you are done you sit in the main room and the attendants dry you off. I think it cost 200 lira to get in and the scrub/massage was like another 80? Very inexpensive. Guys were all over the place in age and body type, mix of locals and tourists. I think you need to meet someone and take it elsewhere unless you just want to play with someone. Was told sex in the rooms was frowned upon. It was a real experience, and would definitely go back. If cigarette smoke or an environment that may not be the most sanitary (scrub pad is reused I’m sure - are peshtemals laundered or just dried between uses?) then this may not be the place for you. I found it to be authentic and was great fun. Luckily I had a friend who spoke Turkish but got the sense that it’s easy enough if you don't.

Busy and lots of fun

The tiny little cloths leave nothing to the imagination as many of the men sit there deliberately revealing themselves. Lots of different rooms to move between. Some rooms hotter than others, some rooms more private too. Mixture of different ages, shapes and sizes and nationalities. Lots of fun to be had

It’s a must in Istanbul

It’s a very nice old hamam, a little bit old building but you get very nice service and the employees are also very nice. Men of all ages visit the hamam. Don’t worry about the area, it was ok for foreigner as well. Definitely the next time I visit Istanbul I’ll be there again.

A must during every visit to Istanbul

Have been to this place several times over the years. It is now even more popular than ever and the patrons seem to have shunned the shyness and are more ready for action! A mix of old and young as well as local and internationals - people quickly find out their own match. The managers are friendly and accommodating. Sunday afternoons is the best time to visit - the entry price doubles after 4pm. The only down side is that the showers often don't work or have ran out of water! Also, all of the rooms are too hot and there is no place to cool down, short of leaving the baths and waiting in the lobby.

Nice place for fun

Everything was clean. Staff was okay. I went on Wednesday at 11 p.m which is definitely not the best time to go so there were only a few guys. You can definitely find a good match when it's busier (Saturday-Sunday 5-9 p.m). I guess showers or the darker room with blue walls are used for action. In the big steam room guys only show off and communicate. Try not to be shy, or the guy you like will be taken by someone else

Old cheap and local

Went today Saturday around 3pm. Massage is extremely cheap not the best one but for this price is good just for relaxation. Staff very friendly, once leave zone with entrance there are 3 saunas (hamam, steam, dry). There were around 15-20 guys very different types, mostly locals 30-40, some very hot, very open, at some point all 8 guys in steam room... good place to watch and show off but not much place to play, just showers as I understood. Next visit I will go again.

Disappointing massage

At one point the masseur yelled ‘I am not gay, this is just a massage’. Considering there was someone fooling around in the shower, could be a little nicer.

Nice place and nice atmosphere

Nice place with a good atmosphere, to see and be seen. I was in november with a Brazilian friend and we enjoyed it a lot. We did the treatment for an hour and a half and it was really worth it.

Relaxing place

I went there on 29th of July, I don’t speak Turkish, but guys understood me and explained everything, very nice and polite. Entrance is just 50TL. Place isn’t fancy, but good. Mostly Turkish men. You can just enjoy hamam or other men. There’s no place for action which is good (usually if there’s a dark room the whole place is filthy). I enjoyed it. Definitely go again a few times before I leave.

No longer gay as such

My 1st visit was in Nov 2018, went back in mid May 2019 which was reopened after refurbishment. Brighter with shower cubicles but dark rooms were gone. Still some gay/bi men go there but nowhere to have fun. The atomosophere changed a lot and the price went up by 10 lira. Not sure this place will ever have the same gay friendly feel again. Going back again in October so will post another review.

Crowned but rude staff

On the week end the hamam is very crowned with guys of all the ages and a lot of good looking dudes but Turkish men have a bad attitude and the staff is very unpolite and rude especially the guy with Grey hair.

Very small and no privacy but it was fun

Went at 17:30 on Saturday and walked in for a scrub. The guys there were older and fat mostly with the odd young and attractive guy. There is no privacy at all here which is a shame because I hooked up with a guy there. The hot guys are super hot. Not super muscly but really hot sweaty fun. We found one small cabin to play in. There is no shower so you leave the place dirty. Take some towels and soap with you and use the steam room to wash down. I would go again cause the atmosphere is nice but it’s not clean!

Very nice place

Easy access from Tophane tram station. People working there, very polite and helpful. Weekends mostly younger men 20-40. Cruising atmosphere, men there looking for action but a discreet way if that make sense. Worth the visit!!! 50 liras entrance and 2 liras the water;-)

Did not disappoint

Granted that everyone has their preferences, expect to be turned down by some of the visitors. Other than that, the were a lot of action happening all around. Not five minutes in from the reception area and I was already pulled by someone.

Best experience never had

I went there 2 days ago. Friday 1st March at 17:30. With a Colombian friend, which I get know thanks to Grindr. It was a great experience. Inside there are so many cabins with private rooms, where I think it’s not allowed to have fun. Inside there is a main area where it’s not allowed to have fun. There are other 3 small areas (classical turkısh bath style), 1 sauna, 1 steam room. Where you can do whatever you want. But mostly there is no any private area. Just ONE small cabin. If you want to have a proper fun one to one it’s not your case. If you like to watch and be watched, if you like group play. It’s paradise. So many hot guys, actions almost everywhere. Mostly group stuff. I played with a Moldovian guy who was super nice, like Hercules, super tall, super muscular and masculine. There are guys from every age, every type. At 17;30 we were around 10 guys. At 19:30 maybe 39 guys even more. Mostly from 30 to 40. But there were also some from 18-25. French, Italian, Mexican, Turkish. Russian, Arabs reassured men from everywhere. I think Friday it’s best they to go. Tomorrow 4th March I will go back. And I will leave another review.

the best time ever

I went here with my boyfriend and it was simply one of the hottest and incredible sexual experiences we have had. It was full of guys including a large number of young guys in their 20's. We are both in our early 30's and from the minute we entered we had sex with incredibly hot guys. there were older in there also but no attitude at all. I cant recommend this place enough. We will be back in early Feb also and can't wait!

Great Place

I was there today December 9 and although it was early the place was in good shape. The staff was accommodating as Turkish is not my first language. The place was clean and there were a few guys there. Overall, the atmosphere was positive. Good job to the staff.

Super nice

I was there on Friday around 6pm. I was sceptical at the begging because of the reviews here. Stuff really friendly, super nice!!! The place is small but very clean. Men mostly in their 30s-40s and bear type. Nice friendly atmosphere! Definitely, a place to visit in Istanbul.

Not the most glorious place

Visited this Hamam. Waited a little bit more after I had read the reviews here. Well. It's a Hamam. Not the most clean one. Different type of guys there. Can say all type of guys. Some action, but honestly speaking guys were more watching eachother than making action. But if you want to visit a gay Hamam this is your place.

Good place

It is a traditional Turkish bathhouse. 40TL for the entrance with a locker or a private room (generally full). There are a steam room, dry sauna room, some shared cabins and some bath places. Most actions in the cabins, or anywhere if not shy. Crowded and easily meet your type.

Friday fun

I am an older American who visited Firuzaga last week on Friday evening. I found the place exceeded my expectations. There were probably 50 men enjoying themselves. All sizes shapes, attitudes and ages. The reception was helpful and the service was great as well as reasonably priced. I don’t speak Turkish and as far as I can tell, one of two foreigners yet there was no problem communicating. I strongly recommend a visit...I left clean, relaxed and very satisfied.

Friday frenzy

It’s Friday evening and I’ve just returned from a 3 hour visit to Firuzaga Hamami, what a place! Being an older gray-haired foreigner will not give plus points in most places, but I took the full program and left very relaxed and satisfied. I don’t speak a word of Turkish and very little English is spoken there. However, it was not a problem. Reception personnel quickly helped me with the options available and ushered me into a spotless cabin to change into my plaid wraparound. Upon entering the bath area it’s obvious where to go...the heated center stone room...saunas...dark alcoves...easy to get the hang of it. My guess is that there were at least 50 guys in Residence...all ages, shapes and sizes. Earlier posts suggested that discretion prevails, I found that to be largely true except in the dark private areas where it was possible to view a mixture of action should you choose to watch..all very polite and nonaggressive . Every man was well behaved and respectful. I was impressed that nothing occurs in the public hallways or waiting areas. It amused me to note that when the towel is thrown over the top of the door it actually did mean men working so do not disturb! If action is your goal, you have found the place that surely fits your needs. It won’t pay to be prudish but it isn’t necessary to be a wallflower unless you simply prefer to watch. I truly enjoyed the experience and certainly expect to return on my next trip to Istanbul. To top the evening off...the reception guy went outside and hailed a taxi for me to take to the hotel...what more can a guy ask? I still have a smile on my face!

Cruising place

I went there about 3-5pm, Entrance fee 40 and i had oil massage 40 lira, the place was clean and spacious, mixed crowd bears from 30-40 years and I only one Asian. The action take place in small room for two closed to Hot sauna. I couldn’t match with the local guy which may be the Asian guy is not their type. Small action take place in small hamman as the group and many guys went there to watch and play.

Bears Rule

I went to this sauna on a Saturday evening, around 7ish. It was crowded with around 30-40 men, 80% bears, a few Asian guys and rest were local. Reception was not very courteous; not very clean either. Action took place in the dark room, but things got heated in the hammam, too. I did not enjoy because I'm not into bears. If you like bears and older Turkish men on weekends, this is the place for you.

Worth a visit

I was there on Sunday, 4/1/2018 afternoon. It was crowed with lots of people: young, old, smooth, hairy, toned, bear, but the major part was local Turkish guys. You can request scrub, oil massage ( optional with extra fee ) there. The local people looks for fun and you just need an "eye-contact" with your "target" because the people in general is shy It's worth to visit.

Hi guys if you want to go to Istanbul u just need to try this hamam. It's really good place as hamam and not only. Staff is really friendly, price is 40 lira for a person (it's only for hamam), and almost all people in this hamam want only one thing - fun...

Hammam typique mais intense

Je vous partage mon expérience...ce n'est pas forcément le plus beau des hammams et on est très loin des exigences européennes. Mais c'est clairement ce que je recherchais. La porte est grande ouverte, vous descendez et hop on vous prend en charge...la serviette autour de la taille et des claquettes et on est partis ;-) Le lieu est divisée en deux espaces : la grande salle où tout se fait (payer, se sécher les cheveux, boire un coup, se réchauffer près d'un poelle central, demander un massage, etc) et le "hammam" en lui-même avec sauna et des petites pièces devant avoir leurs fonctions... Quelques prix de mémoire : - entrée 40 LR - massage 40 LR (pas fait) - gommage du corps 15LR (top !) Un bon endroit...

Old and Charming!

I went today (an October Saturday at 5pm) for my first time. I paid 40TRL for entrance and 1TRL for a bottle of water. Very friendly staff - there was a very cute very hairy guy in the entrance area, he showed me to my room and overall was very sweet. He also gave me towels at the end and dried me off. The hamam is laid out in several small rooms. A cool room, a warmer room, and a very large hot room each with buckets to dump cool water on yourself. There is a dark dry sauna as well. Yes the hamam is old, but Istanbul is an ancient city and I quite liked the charm of the place including the sky lights. I did not get a massage or scrub, but the masseuse was quite charming and popular. I could see him working on men as I passed by his room - it all looked very nice and legit. The guys - there were about 30 guys, most of them extremely attractive, hairy, Turkish men. I expected the guys to be more bearish (based on the reviews) and while there were some, most were just as described above. Overall, I quite liked this hamam. Being an American bear, I felt quite comfortable. I loved the variety of guys (from six packs to bellies, from trimmed to hairy). It would be a fun place to come with a friend.
