Good to know

The Hammam & Spa Oktogon is not wheelchair accessible.

You can pick up drinks and Middle Eastern snacks in our bistro. You can pay for your food and drink cash-free with your wristband.

Warm waters soothe the entire body – making this a relaxing experience for pregnant women, too. How your body reacts to hot water during pregnancy may vary. We therefore ask you to consult your doctor in advance.
