I got the Pain Relief Massage (their most expensive one) for targeted pain and muscle tension. Before starting i specified that i have upper back and lower back tension (i work at a desk). The majority of the massage was only on my shoulders and traps, NEVER targeting the two tensions i had mentioned. I even brought it up halfway in case she forgot. There were a lot of gentle generic massaging all over, rotating limbs, and wiggling fingers/toes.. It felt more like the description of their Classic Relax Massage where it's mostly light pressure and slow strokes. Very few good moments but overall disappointed with the experience. Also the massage started 30 minutes past the time i had scheduled and ended 10 minutes early, which is unusual in my experience. Maybe it's a one-time bad experience, but i'm not willing to drop another couple hundred dollars to find out.

I am very, very irked by Brooklyn Banya. We traveled approximately two hours to get to BK Banya…read morebecause it's one of the few places that allow those under 18 into the baths. We called ahead and spoke with a gentleman who assured us (1) they were open on Yom Kippur; and (2) they were happy to accommodate my children and friends of mixed genders. When we arrived, the extremely unpleasant older woman at the front desk told us that Thursdays were for men only and turned us away very, very rudely -- despite the fact that the website says that men's only hours begin at 6 p.m.!! We were there around noon.) From the website (https://www.brooklynbanya.com/m): Men only hours: Tuesday 11am-11pm $60pp Thursday 6pm- 1am $60pp From what we could see and smell from the lobby, the place was dark, threadbare, and dingy, with a funky odor of mold mixed with perspiration and other unpleasant, unidentifiable things on top. So perhaps it was a cloud with a silver lining to be turned away. TLDR: - Awful communication. Info posted online is not honored or accurate. Info given verbally is not honored or accurate. - The space -- what we saw of it -- seemed dingy and dirty. - Staff are uninformed and extremely rude.

I recently visited during their community hydrotherapy hours, which include access to the hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, steam room, and outdoor space. When the weather's nice, the lounging areas outside are especially lovely. They offer small, thoughtful touches like strawberries, almonds, and tea to sip between rounds. The vibes are truly calming and the staff are warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. You can rent a robe or bring your own, and there are lockers, rain showers, and great-smelling products available to use. It may not be the fanciest spa in the city, but I always leave feeling grounded, cared for, and reset.

I visited World Spa during my trip back to Brooklyn over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate my…read moresister's 47th birthday. It was my first time, and overall, it was a fantastic experience! There were a few minor hiccups that were completely out of the spa's control. Apparently, the entire system went down on Memorial Day. Honestly, I thought they might close for the day, but instead they stayed open and made the best of a difficult situation. They went old school--writing everything down on paper! Despite the inconvenience, the staff remained professional, organized, and did their best to keep everything running smoothly. I really appreciated the effort. We purchased the VIP Experience (Monday-Thursday, entrance between 12-1 p.m.) for $138, and it was absolutely worth it. It included unlimited access to all of the spa amenities for the entire day, plus access to an exclusive private lounge on the top floor. We could order food and drinks, and the staff delivered everything directly to us in the lounge. I believe there are 14 different spa experiences, and we made it our mission to try every single one--multiple times! We spent the entire day there and enjoyed every inch of the facility. My favorite experiences were: The Grand Banya The Cold Plunge The Snow Room The Himalayan Salt Room And my absolute favorite--the Event Sauna Ritual The Event Sauna Ritual was incredible. It's a 30-minute aromatherapy experience that promotes circulation and relaxation using hand-tied oak leaf bundles and snowballs infused with essential oils. This group experience was very invigorating and therapeutic you leave the room feeling completely refreshed and relaxed. It was honestly one of the highlights of the day. According to their website, the herbal steam rituals are offered: Monday, Tuesday & Thursday: 1 PM, 3 PM, 5 PM Friday: 6 PM Saturday: 4 PM (Grand Banya), 6 PM (Event Sauna) Sunday: 1 PM, 3 PM, 5 PM Now, let's talk about the food--because it was surprisingly delicious! Since we spent the entire day there, we had both breakfast and dinner. Unfortunately, I only took photos of my breakfast and then my phone went back into my robe. I was there to technically relax not review. For breakfast, I ordered the Countryside Breakfast Plate, which came with fried sausages, eggs, crispy home fries, toast and a fresh salad of arugula, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers. They even brought out an assortment of jams upon request, which was a nice touch. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. Because the system was down, they were gracious enough to give us our breakfast for free. By the end of the day, the system was up and running. For dinner, we shared the Korean-Style Crispy Fried Chicken Wings with the sweet chili sauce on the side. They were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. We also ordered a side of fries. For my entrée, I had the Miso Salmon. It normally comes with asparagus and quinoa, but I substituted the quinoa for mashed potatoes. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the mashed potatoes were creamy, and the entire dish was delicious. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would absolutely return the next time I'm back in Brooklyn. Between the relaxing spa amenities, the excellent food, the attentive staff, and the way they handled an unexpected technical issue, World Spa made for a memorable day. If you're looking to spend an entire day relaxing and recharging, I definitely recommend giving it a try.
