My partner and I had an 8 hour layover at Istanbul airport, so I can only speak about the spa. The transfer was cheap and took about 20 minutes each way. We paid about £200 for a fantastic experience, compared with £400 at the airport spa for the same thing. Our 75 minute Swedish massages were incredible, probably the best either of us has had. The pressure was just right, and the room was relaxing, fragrant, and softly lit. The therapists were excellent and really talented. The Turkish bath was clean, beautifully decorated, and had lovely warm marble. The sauna and steam room were clean and well equipped as well. There were good changing rooms with lockers, plus showers for freshening up before a flight in both the men's and women's rooms. I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone in the same situation. The one thing I'd change is letting guests tip staff by card, since tips are cash only.
