Today was my first Hammam experience. The architecture is soothingly complex with its organic lines and forms. The lights PULS! how pretty :) There is a slow flow through the space that lets you take your time and space that you need before getting to the next station. The rules are clearly stated and there is signing at every spot to help guide you. It was very clean and structured. I wished however, that the peste mal (the towl you wear) wasn't mandatory for the upper body on women since it was quite uncomfortable in some situations like the Dampfbad. I was very relaxed at the end of my stay and especially loved the option to sit in a quiet area to read before going to the next station.

!! I would recommend bringing along your own shampoo, conditioner and your hairbrush if you have fine hair like me. The Shampoo from Soeder was very harsh and dried my hair out. My skin is very sensitiv which is why I would also recommend bringing your face cream. My skin still shows visible irritation 8 hours after and bumps have formed as well. My nail chipped when I got home which is why I soaked them in a hydrating oil. !!

Overall I had a very relaxing time, I enjoyed the quite and respectful atmosphere, the many soothing but also the harsh stations and the silent conversations with my partner. However the surface of my body got stripped of a protecting layer which is why I would need a little recovery time before going again and would recommend you to bring along or treat yourself at home with hydrating products.
