Turkish Baths in Istanbul

We are trying to decide between Cemberlitas Hamami and Cagaloglu Hamami baths. Do you have a recommendation about which to choose?

Love, love love Cagaloglu! It's not cheap, but I felt like Ottoman royalty the whole time I was there. Of the five hamams I have visited in Turkey, Cagaloglu is the nicest.

When I was researching hamams in 2021, Cagalaglu's reviews indicated that it was the better of the two. There is another one close to the Hagia Sophia that is also supposed to be very good.

Cagaloglu is the best and oldest I think. They have Sultan package which cover almost everything in the hammam.
