The 75 m (246 ft) long structure is designed in the style of classical Ottoman baths, having two symmetrical separate sections for males and females.

A red and a white palmette with a golden epigraph on green ground ornament the pointed arch of the monumental entrance door.

In the centre of the hot room is a large octagonal marble table called a göbektaşı (literally: navel stone), which bathers can lie on.

The large dome of the hot room, which sits on the octagonal-shaped walls, has small glass windows to create a half-light from the top.
