The staff speaks English well and making a reservation on the phone also was no problem. A kit with one-time use flipflops, underwear (and bra) and towel is included, you do have to pay 10 Euros though for the stylish black scrub mitten, which you get to keep afterwards to use at home. I have been to a other very fancy hammam before which was huge so this was very small compared. The overall atmosphere is nice, everything is super clean and lit nicely. The downside is, it's very small and there was only one masseuse so everyone kind of had to "wait in line". You first warm up on a hot stone seat, then you shower, steam room, jacuzzi, repeat. After doing 3 rounds of this for an hour we got kind of bored. Finally it was our turn but then again, my significant other had to wait until I was finished with my massage. We did get the regular washing and scrubbing along with a Rassoul massage which left the skin super smooth. All in all it was a nice experience with super friendly staff but kind of small and a little long for being in a small confined space like that. We did go home very relaxed though and and had a great night's sleep.

Il primo ed unico bagno turco nel cuore di Bologna nasce dal sogno e dalla passione di Gabriella Ieri, che ha voluto portare fin qui la filosofia e la cultura dei bagni di vapore appresa durante i suoi lunghi viaggi tra Turchia, Tunisia e Marocco, interpretandola nelle originalissime forme e nei colori degli spazi che qui ti accoglieranno. Quello che ti aspetta è un vero e proprio viaggio nel benessere, scandito da rituali e fasi antichissime per vivere le quali è importante lasciarsi andare, senza pensare al tempo che scorre, ma ascoltando solo le sensazioni del proprio corpo.

I was not happy about our room being in the newer section. They made it sound like he gave us the better room. We needed an earlier check in but that was not possible so we had to pay for the night we were not there. The room required us to take the elevator and then walk across a hallway outside and get to your room. You get there after flying for many hours and the key cards don't work. Our luggage arrived. He had to try the key cards as it's possible we don't know how to use them. Front desk clerk came up without new keys. It was quite the ordeal. Room was great! The breakfast was ok but there is much better in the area. The restaurant here was excellent.

Stayed at Portici hotel for 1 night and we had terrible experience and hotel staff did not offer…read moreany professional or concrete solution Here the facts informed to concierge: - Fairly good location but not the best one in city centre. Very noisy and on street with high traffic. - The room was extremely small (probably 160 sqf), and had an unbearable smell of sewage coming from the bathroom. Even when keeping the door closed, the problem persisted. Concierge staff has been promptly informed but they never came up to check and no solution has been provided. - From 10pm to 2:30am continuous noises came from the upper floor. Trolleys, chairs, metallic noises, footsteps, etc We notified concierge twice at 11:10pm and 12:00am but the problem was not resolved by staff. We were told that there was a restaurant/tavern above the room. Brilliant decision for a location where people are supposed to sleep. - Although we parked the car in hotel parking lot, the car was moved and was parked on the street at 3:40 am. All without asking permission. Very professional and safe decision. To offer fair and complete perspective, we presented verbal and written complaints and, in summary, the hotel response has been "We apologize, you have to pay full price anyhow, we will cover parking costs of 25E and we offer you a one level upgraded room next time you visit again". Have travelled for 40+ years, internationally, and always in 4/5 stars hotels. Never seen such a un-professional management and response. In summary very unpleasant experience, overall hotel quality absolutely not at the level of the 200+ Euro price and very passive/un-professional staff attitude. They advertise themselves as offering "emotions of a unique experience"...undoubtedly very uniquely negative stay indeed....

The day of my massage, I got lost trying to get to them in the pouring rain. I arrived to my appointment 1 hour late and soaked to the bone from the rain. They were amazing! Not only did they welcome me with open arms, they took me in right away kept my appointment. Luna was my massage therapist and she was amazing. She did a fantastic job and even made some suggestions on some problem areas that were holding tension. If you are looking for a spa and need a massage, be sure to stop into this place, it's worth every effort to find them, they CARE about the people who find them. Luna is amazing but they are all kind and gentle with their guests.

The scrub was surprisingly relaxing & I was like butter by the wrap. Veronica was extremely professional & has wonderful strong consistent pressure without pain. Spa facilities are wonderful.

If you're not a hotel guest, you can pay a little extra for use of the swimming pool & gym for the day. You can also walk around the hotel lobby & large gardens. I recommend just spending the day here. Next time I want to try the facial & hair treatments also.

Although not cheap, this has got to be the most luxurious spa I have ever been to, and I would definately recommend it for a special occasion, like a wedding or hen party. I did a facial treatment with their exclusive Rephase products and technology and the following week someone told me she could not believe i was in my late 30s, so I like to think that the facial played a role in this sudden youth, or perhaps the lady in question just needed glasses. In any case, the facial was relaxing and I do think my skin looks firmer as a result. The ambience at this 5* hotel is incredibly classy and the service is unbeatable. It is possible to purchase a day's access to the pool so that after the spa you can hang around here and in the verdant gardens, which really is an oasis in the middle of the city.
