Avoid the popular / touristy baths and ask for recommendations. The guidebook recommended ones are certainly architecturally nice with plenty of history, but the ripping off rather grated, not to mention the perfunctory service.
I like a sweaty man giving me a vigorous wash as much as the next man and found getting suggestions from a bloke in the hotel made for a more authentic affair. The bath culture is dying out, and is becoming more the preserve of old guys and tourists, but it is a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
Enjoy.
