The Cemberlitas Bath was planned as a double bath which is completely similar to each other and adjacent to each other.

There is an eave on the entrance. On the entrance gate, there is an inscription of six pagans, arranged in three rows, decorated with rum. Entrance of the women section should be on the Divanyolu Caddesi by Sultan Mahmut Tomb. Today, women also use men's entry and leave their departments with a side door opening from the inside. The dressing section of the women's section was cut off during the expansion of the Divanyolu Street (1868). The cut is covered by a wall with rectangular windows at the bottom and star windows. The dressing areas of the men's and women's sections are covered with a large dome provided with crossing corners. There are three changing rooms around it. Both domes have bright lanterns. Today only the luminescent part of the women's part is in its original state. The illuminated light, which is covered with a domes carried by arches resting on thin columns, is elegantly decorated. Today the cold section of the men's section is a calm and relaxing place to rest or wait after washing.
