Found this place while browsing on Yelp, and sure glad I did. Came here on a Saturday night before they closed. I'm not from NYC originally but $60 for minutes is unbelievable even where I'm from in LA. The rooms are only semi-private; there is a divider between the rooms (not four walls) so you can hear some chatter. But since I was one of the only clients, it was rather a relaxing experience. The room was also clean. The masseuse Tina did a great job getting alot of my knots out and also used hot stones as well. I made sure I left a good tip, as the service was so cheap. I highly recommend this place and will be back as I am a permanent resident here now. read more

Found my new go-to spot when in need of a massage after work! I didn't expect much from a place that sells massage services for as little as $35, but even still, these people really wowed me. I tried a half hour massage for my first go around and I swear it felt like an hour, it was that comprehensive. It started with an over-the-towel full body pat down, then went into the upper body oil massage, and ended with a delicious hot stone rub. Way more than I was anticipating and delightful every second of the experience. Now, I will warn future customers that the premises are pretty no-frills. There was a guy in the room next to me snoring, but honestly we were both in such heaven that it didn't matter. And I will go back, snoring and all, for as long as I work in the area. read more

This is the best spa in Fidi! Everyone is so friendly, accommodating and personalizes your massage based on what your body needs. It's definitely worth a visit and I go at least monthly now! read more

This was the closest massage service near my place so decided to check it out since I was in need of one after being sick for the past couple of days. The spa is located on the 3rd floor and there's private rooms with curtains instead of doors. I was able to make a same day appointment to get the 60 min massage for $60 (which ended up being $64 when paid with cc). Overall, the massage was good but was a bit hard to relax given the staff was in and out of the room the entire time to pick up the phone, translate, answer her coworkers, and greet customers (aside from going out to get the hot stones and towel), and when customers are waiting, I can hear their conversation which the staffs should inform them not to as it's disturbing. Also didn't like how I can feel the staff's nails at times which may indicate poor technique. I'd like to give them another try since it's close to my place; hopefully it'll be a better experience next time. read more

Amazing experience! Came here months ago it was just as I remembered just got off a flight and super relaxed now

Had a great massage! Took out my knots and left me feeling refreshed. Will be back soon.

When I came after I make appointment 3 women huddled over the door when I opened it confused as to why I was there . I did NOT feel comfortable or safe during the massage with other people walking in and out while I was naked and talking over me. The woman doing the massage kept answering the phone while massaging me at the same time. and kept walking out leaving me there exposed. I felt extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. At the end I was basically rushed out , would never come back . read more

They were able to squeeze me in last minute. Spa was quiet and clean. Masseuse did a great job of getting out knots she didn't know I had. I went with a bad neck ache and when I left it was completely gone. Will definitely be returning and recommending! Thank you! read more

If you're looking for a decent massage at a good price I strongly recommend coming here. It is a Hidden Gem and I must've passed by this place several times and never saw it. The mention is small outside and then you ring the buzzer and walk up to the spa. They provide deep massage and that is the only service they provide and they are excellent with it. read more

I get regular massages at Massage Envy and this place has both a better quality massage and price point. Best experience of my life.

Will not be going back. Massage was ok (not great) but when I paid in cash and tried to ask for change to tip, the masseuse repeatedly tried to keep all the change and would not give it back. I planned to and did tip 20%. But after repeatedly arguing over the remaining change. Not a good experience. read more

Mimi is amazing! I threw out my back and looked for the closest place to get a massage. I hobbled in hunched over. I didn't know I had so many knots until Mimi was working them all out! I left feeling so much better! read more

Pro's- I received a great 1 hour massage at the strength that I wanted and felt great the next day. Con's- It's not the most relaxing place as there is chatter amongst the staff, you can hear the client next to you as there is just a wall separation, the phone is going off and when I was there so was the washer. Perhaps since I arrived on a Friday night they were needing to do the laundry. Also my temperature was not checked, or asked any COVID questions. I did wear my mask throughout as well as the staff from what I saw. Overall I would return because the massage was good and the price ($50 for an hour plus tip), although halfway through a new person took over. I will have the mindset that it won't be the most relaxing experience. read more

Safe, Relaxing and affordable. I was looking for a place to get a back and neck massage, as always I took to Yelp for recommendations and found 88 Spa. I was able to book immediately and they did not disappoint. Price was very reasonable and very good overall experience. read more

Do you want to be instructed how much to tip??...Or guilt tripped for 2 extra dollars?? Then, come on down. Been to 10+ similar spas in Manhattan/Brooklyn, so I have a good understanding of local options. Above average facility. Above average haggling will turn a 4-5 star visit into a 2-3 star visit really quick. ----- ....please note owners reply ----- ....and her second review. Do you want your manhood questioned?...or go to a female owner who's gender stereotyping women as weak? Then, this is your place. read more

I walked over straight after work because my shoulders were so tight it was giving me a headache. Good thing, because the schedule filled up for the night shortly after I arrived. Now I'm woozy in that good, "woah, my neck has so much mobility I don't know if I can hold my head up straight" way. They take the request for deep tissue seriously, and with little mercy. But also work up to it. Also, this was the best use of the hot towel phase I've encountered - as opposed to just getting the extra lotion off of you, it's a new heat-phase of more massage. I even got some bonus minutes since she wasn't done when the timer went off, and I didn't feel rushed out the door. If only they had punch cards for frequent customers like my place near home... read more

I injured the top of my right foot 5 days ago. I've been limping with pain since then. Have done a lot of conventional massage and chiropractic before but never any acupressure. This was an absolutely incredible amount of pain Releaf. I was never a bug skeptic or anything, and arrived hopeful and open minded. Left with the straightest spine Ive ever felt and my foot is 10 Times better. Pain went from a 7 to a 1. Some slight tingling left but hardly any limp. read more

Been going to Spa88 for years. Consistently great massages in a clean and comfortable setting. Staff is always pleasant and accommodating. I love that it is upstairs, hidden away and always peaceful. Not sure I understand any of the negative reviews, as I said - I've been going of 5+ years and never had anything but attentive, relaxing massages from a lovely staff. read more

Do yourself and your body a favor. Serena (sp?) is amazing. Tell her where I'm having issues and she really focuses on them. She's asks soft, medium, or hard. Have done a 90 min session and a 60 min session. Both so good and very reasonably priced! read more

My regular spot was booked so gave this place a try. Was very pleased. Great therapist, Selena helped me a lot with a knee problem. Her work can be pretty deep but effective. I am a seasoned receiver of massage and she is a very good one. Reasonable price also I will go back when I can as I live in NJ. read more

Loved this place! I just ran the NY Marathon yesterday and a friend recommended! Affordable and great technique by Selena!

Fantastic service and amazing massage! The staff are such sweet people who do their best to make sure you're happy with their services. I got there before they opened with no appointment and they immediately got me in a room without even being able to catch their breath from the commute. Support this small business! I'm so glad they survived the pandemic but hopefully people can help them grow even more. read more

The most amazing massage I've had yet ! Go to Mimi ! She was so good ! Legit the best last minute decision I've made ! So relaxing ! So clean read more

The 60 min massage for $55 was such a wonderful deal! I will definitely be coming back, they truly helped with my many knots and aches. I 100% recommend this massage place. read more

TERRIBLE MASSAGE. I swear to you my necks been hurting and has been worse ever since I've come to this spot. The Masseuse has her weird way of massaging or breaking your neck. As I was laying down she was doing weird movements with my neck and now it feels stiff and hurts. Never again! read more

Came for the first time for an hour massage on a whim because I had super bad shoulder pain. I like it strong and I definitely got what I wanted. I will definitely be back, so happy it's close by. read more

Best massage ever - and I've been to a few different spots. No frills place where the technique is rock solid!

I was walking by and didn't have an appointment but asked if they had time for a walk in. They said they had time for a half hour. The women doing the massage (which not very good) left 3x to answer the phone and door in the middle of it (and didn't even close the curtain). By the third time I got up and left (only a few minutes into the half hour). She told me I had to pay $10 for the "10 minute massage" and that I should call in advance next time. read more

Love the massages here, Selina is amazing! Haven't been able to get through on the phone lately, hoping they're still open! Normally go 1-2x a month- highly recommend read more

My neck and back were very very sore and in need of an emergency massage today. My regular place doesn't do drop ins, so I was lucky to find this place. I had Angela and she was wonderful. The pressure was very intense (which I needed) and she was able to really target the tight spots. She included a short massage with hot stones at the end and stretched my back, which was amazing. The only negative thing I could say about this place is that the room was right off the lobby with a thin curtain for privacy, and the face rest in the table was not the most comfortable. However, given the great price ($30 for 30 min including tax), I expected a no- frills place, and this was nicer than similar places I've been. It is very clean and the staff are really nice. I was very happy with my experience and will definitely be back. read more

Selina is awesome. Probably one of the best massage i ever had so far. She knows exactly where to massage to ease the pain. I will definitely go back. price is very reasonable for level of service you receive. read more

Very quick and prompt service. Was able to get an appointment last minute without any troubles. Place was clean and relaxing. There is a lack of privacy, their curtains are sheer and do not cover the opening- which can be very concerning for some. The masseuse I had was very nice and pleasant . 30 min massage was 30 dollars, charge $2 for card. In terms of the actual massage, I have had better, probably wont come back. read more

Loved my massage. I paid $50 for one hour Swedish massage and it included hot stones toward the end. My masseuse was very sweet and definitely worked efficiently and effectively and the pressure was just right. I was able to completely relax to the point that i almost fell asleep! Only thing is that i wished they did more acupressure but for $50 and the fact that it's so close to my job, it's a perfect lunch getaway session! Will definitely be back read more

I ignored the negative reviews but still came, I should not have. Biggest waste, worst massage I ever had. After a long flight I Booked a 1 hour massage in the evening, got there on time and waited about 30 mins until she finished another person. Very rude and disrespectful to customers. Scolding hot stones did nothing but burn my back. She did not have a technique just randomly lightly rubbing my back. Clearly just over booking and don't care about customers returning. Will not return read more

What an amazing experience my mom and I just had here. The spa is great!! My mom and I had a wonderful and relaxing massage. Especially my back! Thanks so my Selina! The staff provided top notch customer service and was very knowledgeable.I will definitely be going back for more services! read more

I have been putting off writing this review for two years because I was afraid it would get too popular. However, the time has come. This place is the best spot I could've ever found. All the girls are great and very nice. I am always greeted with a warm welcome and provided an exceptional massage. The price is right, never have I experienced a tipping issue (mentioned below). Keep up the great work! Be in soon. read more

Selina was incredible! She gives an incredibly firm deep tissue massage. I felt beat up for a few days and then completely relaxed. I usually don't like hard massage but she was incredible. Always asking if I was ok! A lovely woman and very friendly. I highly recommend 88spa - especially Selina! The price is incredible ! 30min = $28 60min = $50 I cannot say enough good things about this place. read more

Selena is a remarkable healer. If you can process the pain, you come out looking younger. Highly recommended eastern medicine bodywork.
