January 1897, Newspaper “Kaspy”

In the newspaper "Kaspiy" dated May 14, 1897. an article about this bath was published in the section "Third-party message" It gave an excellent description of "Fantasy": the majority of Baku capitalists prefer to invest their capital in oil enterprises, which give up to 30% of the dividend. The owner of the Fantasia bathhouse is unlikely to earn 4%, if we take into account the perfection and solidity of its technical devices, a special water supply system from Shamakhinka, and so on.

It is impossible not to thank for the fact that all the requirements of hygiene are met in it, namely: the baths are supplied with perfect fresh living well water; the bath is kept in perfect cleanliness and tidiness, and linen is disinfected in special chambers

Live and artificial flowers, a lot of multicolored Edison and Gram light bulbs, figurines, moldings complete the pleasant impression.

As soon as we leave the room, our guest immediately finds himself in the hands of a bellhop who carries him to the braid and passes him to another. This one carries him five steps to the doorman.
