O'Kari Hammam (spa)?

Does anyone have experience with O%26#39;Kari Hammam? The TA reviews are either in French, or the one English reads like an ad. If this spa is as fantastic as this review claims, I just might go, but otherwise won%26#39;t waste the time and money...

If it%26#39;s a true hammam, it%26#39;s not exactly what you would perceive as a spa. It%26#39;s a steam bath and you%26#39;ll get a massage, but there%26#39;ll be no champagne and strawberries, or anything that remotely resembles the sort of luxury establishment the term spa implies in the US. If it is a spa as you know it, it really won%26#39;t resemble a hammam as they exist in Turkey.

With a google search, you can find first hand reports of experiences there. In fact, there%26#39;s an active trip report on Fodor%26#39;s right now.

I don%26#39;t like that they limit your time. Here is a luxurious one that lets you enjoy the steam as long as you like. And the staff is nice.



But for a real taste of Hammam, which implies many women, not a private experience, there is Les Bains du Marais, the Mosque and Hammam Pasha

o%26#39;kari hammam spa is a wonderfull place where you can enjoy steam bath and massages. The staff is nice and you have all the time you want to enjoy your session.
