I'll start by saying, Ken was amazing !!! I did a 60 min massage and as a female you can request a male masseuse and get $20 off! I'm all for the deals, so I definitely took advantage of this one. The place is clean, quiet, comfortable, and the massage was excellent! I really enjoyed it and I will DEFINITELY return! Thank you Lotus Massage & Ken! Also, in regards to folks having issues with tipping, if you can't afford to tip properly, you shouldn't be going to get a service. Period. I had no issues as I tipped properly and paid them with respect. So I got the same in return! read more

I came her for the first time with my friend. We both booked 60 minute Swedish massage. We were told to pay for our services before the service was done. I thought that was odd but we paid for it. We were sent to a room with my friend and I together. When it was time for our massage, my friend received a Swedish massage and my masseuse was standing on top of me. The whole time they were talking during our service. I was confused why my lady wasn't doing a Swedish massage but I let it go. I wasn't in the mood to say something. They were giggling and whispering loud throughout the session. When we're done it was time for us to leave and we gave them cash tip. The lady who I tipped raised her voice on me and demanded more. I told her that's all I had. She gave me the worst attitude and stormed off. Please do yourself a favor, there are better and professional places than this. To me it felt like they don't care about the service they provide for their clients but focused on the money. It seems like a lot of people experienced bad service here. Also the lady who stood on me for my massage was a big back so I had difficulty breathing at some parts of the massage. And she was the one who kept talking and laughing during my service and had the audacity to pop off on me for not giving her more tip. Ridiculous. read more

I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience here. I booked a 60-minute couples massage, and while my husband had a great experience with his masseuse, mine was the complete opposite. The person who worked on me didn't seem to know what she was doing at all. There was no real technique or flow, just random elbow pressure on my back the entire time. I even asked for more pressure, hoping it would improve, but she just kept using her elbows in a way that felt uncomfortable and unskilled. On top of that, she kept stopping throughout the session, which made the whole experience feel disjointed and unprofessional. What made it worse is that she didn't even massage my hands, arms, or feet, which I would expect from a full 60-minute massage. And to be clear, I didn't even get the full time. We started around 6:52 PM, and she left around 7:35-7:40 PM. That's not 60 minutes. Another thing that really bothered me was how the oil was removed. She used a dry tissue or paper towel to wipe my back, which felt rough and uncomfortable. Meanwhile, my husband's masseuse used a proper warm/wet towel on him. I don't understand why the service was so inconsistent between the two of us. I left feeling worse than when I came in. My back actually felt strained, like a nerve was irritated from the random elbow pressure. I was visibly upset and honestly didn't feel like tipping, but still left $5 out of courtesy. Overall, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience, especially for something that's supposed to be relaxing. I wouldn't return based on this visit. read more

I got a 60min massage yesterday for $75 but since i paid card was charged $78. The massage was okay not the best but afterwards i tipped $20. The lady was upset saying for me to tip more. She said normally she gets $30. Thats crazy for just an hr massage. She then continued to mumble... "amigos" always... i walked out definitely wont come back read more

I just called and spoke with Lily over the phone looking for an hour of deep tissue massage. I told her what my massage therapist charges in San Mateo. She said come over and I will match and will give you a great massage. When I got there she asked for more money and said she won't give any massage for less than $30 in tips. I was shocked since she did not ask a word about anything else about me or what I particularly was there for. How could anyone ask for a 50% tip before providing any service...and she had the nerve to invite me to come and have a massage, I drove 15 mins to be turn back with no service provided. I would never go to her or recommend anyone. What a shame and what a terrible service..shame on you!. read more

On 8/23/25, I called and asked if there was a male masseur and the person said yes. When I arrived a few minutes later, she apologized for not understating what I asked. So what... do you have a masseur or not? I was going to trust the process until she told me it was $70 and wanted to be paid UP FRONT! I hesitated asking why pay up front and she said the owner wants it that way. The. She said, "What's wrong?" I told her nowhere I've ever been asked for the payment up front and then she literally opened her hand, palm up and said, "C'MON GIMME THE MONEY." I told her I've never been asked to pay up front and that wasn't comfortable with that and and I left. I don't know if this is really the policy or just this woman's behavior, but this made me very uncomfortable. read more

I was skeptical based on the reviews and pricepoint BUT they had an opening so I took it. Really good massage and overall experience. I'll be back and would recommend. My only gripe was cleanliness. The room and linens were okay from what I could tell but entry and windows were not a great impression. read more

It looks like the business has changed ownership from Ocean's Spa to Lotus Spa recently. We first discovered this place because it was the only place that did the Ashiatsu massage (walking on back) and the former owner's therapists did this very well, and used the bars safely. Unfortunately, however, the new business owners have crossed the Ashiatsu massage from this price list, which is a big reason why we would come to this place to begin with. I highly recommend that they consider putting this service back on the services list (they still have the bars for the Ashiatsu massages but apparently just don't offer it anymore). Given that, my partner and I both got the deep tissue massage from a female and male therapist. It is pricier than before $60 instead of $50, but the massages were firm and there was adequate pressure. Both therapists were experienced and I think that the massage worked well. We always try to tip the workers a fair amount since massage work is not easy. However, the main issue about this place is that it is adjacent to the T4, which of course has a lot of blenders to make drinks and blend ice so it can be pretty loud in the rooms. The music covers a lot of it, though the sounds can take away from some of the relaxing atmosphere. Overall though, we might put this place in our rotation for massages, but given that the place no longer offers Ashiatsu, we might opt to go somewhere closer to home. I think the price differences between what you pay for using a credit card versus cash is also significant, and may deter others from coming if they don't have the cash because they'd rather not pay so much more for using a credit card for their transaction. I hope the new owners do well in this venture. read more

Wow my massage with Lily was the best massage I have ever had, the pressure was perfect and she definitely know what she's doing, I am very picky with my massage and I finally found a place that I can get my massage twice a month and she is so sweet and nice. The place is so relaxing and clean. I will definitely come back and ask for Lily!! read more

Ownership changed on June 2025. The service is very good. They really know how to massage properly.

DO NOT GO HERE WALKED IN FOR MASSAGE AND PAYED FRONT DESK ASK FOR TIP I had not received my service. Once I was finished was asked once more for tip. Your business is unprofessional to scam clients inquiring on services not given. read more

Right off the bat we got charged double and the ladies at the front start arguing amongst themselves. After 30 minutes we were passed on back to the room. We booked a massage for two and they refused to give us a room together even though we had specifically requested that. The masseuse who attended me kept walking out of the room and arguing with other employees. At one point she came back and started being too tough with me. At the end of the massage we noticed the card still hadn't been refunded and once we were exiting we got called back and they demanded we give them a tip. We let them know we had been charged double and we were unsatisfied they lied and told us the charge had been voided (which it hadn't). Overall we won't be returning. UPDATE: Insanely enough these women texted us yo remove this yelp post!! Which clearly I WONT be doing. read more

Good for what it is, I have had worse but I have definitely had better. Didn't help with the tightness in my neck, rooms are run down and furniture is mismatched. People there were very nice and out of all the places in the area that I have tried this is the best. read more

We did a couples massage, were very satisfied, good value for the price. $65 per person. However, we were left in utter disbelief and appalled, when we gave each therapist $15 each in gratuity, and she started showing us a "Tip Price Chart", saying $15 is minimum, and really just started haggling us. My response was "you don't want this $30?" All of a sudden, she forgot English, and started acting like she didn't understand what was going on, but just 1 minute ago, we were being put under duress, and guilt for underpaying tips. To Ocean's Spa management: if you want to operate a service based business in America, learn customer service skills, and look at the long term, repeat business and plenty more opportunities to earn my business. However, you've lost it for good, because your personnel decided they needed more cash today. read more

This place was amazing! The lobby was super cute and clean. But the massage was so good, I came out feeling like a new person. Cece was the one who gave me a massage and I really recommend her! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Pls check your receipt for accurate charge. We were told massage was $60 for Mother's Day special and we got charged $130 for the both of us. My husband had a lady named Cece, he said she was great! I had a guy named Sam who was at the front desk (and took the payment) and instructed us to the back. I was surprised when he walked in to do my massage, but didn't think too much into it as he told us there were three of them that day. Dude was straight answering the phone while massaging me!!!! At first he was walking out in the front to answer the calls. Then he brought the effen phone inside the room and was talking and massaging with one hand! He also kept massaging me very hard when I asked him to go soft, several times! I've been sore this whole week from his stupid massage. I don't even think he was licensed to do massages!!! I still left him a $20 tip because I don't feel right about not tipping someone that provides service to you. But had I known he charged us extra AND I would be sore for a whole week, I would not have tipped him. That's on me though. If you do go here, PLEASE check your receipt and ask for a female to massage you! That numbnut guy doesn't know sh!t!!! read more

I had a good massage, not great or fantastic. It was $65 for 1 hr, good. Once I get up to leave I give her a $10 tip, when I tell you this last hassled me for a$15-20 dollar tip for 5 extra mins. Totally unprofessional! Tips n america are optional it isn't how you make money or tell someone how they should tip you! Y'all are wild. read more

Although the massage itself was good, their customer service is so bad. They talk to you with an attitude and force people to tip more than what they want. TIP IN THE US IS OPTIONAL. IF I DO NOT WANT TO TIP I CAN CHOOSE NOT TO. read more

If i could give 0 stars i would but no choice. Another typical Asian massage place that plays you for your money unfortunately. What happened was I already was laying down waiting for my female masseuse and last minute, the guy that sits at the front desk tells her something in Chinese and the girl tells me that she forgot she had set an appointment with another client so i will be massaged by a male therapist instead. I said it was fine. After my massage I go to the the front desk to give my tip, I read their sign that says "$20 off if massaged by male therapist". I ask the male therapist that massaged me if I get this deal today. He said not today next time if I call and make an appointment. I said no it doesn't say I have to call and make an appointment to receive $20 off. It just says if massaged by male therapist will receive $20 off. That's all. I had to get in an argument with my masseuse for him to finally give me my $20 off. UNPROFESSIONAL PLACE!!!! NOT HONEST WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS AND ARE ONLY AFTER YOUR MONEY! Plus the massage sucked. Never ever coming back. I came here numerous times till this last massage. I always tipped really well also. I always gave $20 because I know they are money hungry. But I thought it was well deserved cause the massage was really always good till this guy massaged me and tried to fool me! So they lost a good paying customer! Goodbye! Attached is a screenshot of the exact sign regarading the $20 offer they had at their front desk!!! read more

Lotus Massage - Massage Near Me - Hayward, California

As someone who's been here before with my fiancé at least 5/6 times before covid and even brought my parents twice and recommended this place to a few of my clients, I am SO disappointed in this business. ALL the times I've been here I've really enjoyed my massage, always tipped 10/20 dollars on each masseuse depending on how great our massage is. I've never had a complaint honestly, it's why we would return every few months before covid. Today after our 1 hour couples massage (50$ each massage) I really felt (compared to the other times I've been here) my massage with this masseuse wasn't up to par like normal. My fiancé was happy with his so we tipped his masseuse 10$. I always ask for Swedish and I just noticed lots of things were (sorry to say this) very half assed. I normally NEVER feel this way after my massage here, but today I felt more touched by an inexperienced masseuse than actually massaged. I still tipped, just only 5$ so 10%. As we were walking out the receptionist commented and said that we tipped one of them less than 20%. I explained and said yeah I tipped my fiancé's 10$ because he really enjoyed his and I didn't really enjoy mine. She says that it's custom to tip 20%. As a fellow business owner, tip is never guaranteed. I also am a service provider and this scene she created over 5$ less of a tip, was ridiculous to me. Especially if as a client/customer is vocalizing that it wasn't up to par like usual. I really wish I enjoyed the massage enough to tip 20% like i normally would and like we did for the other masseuse, but tips speak for the service you receive. As a service provider myself in Esthetics, there's occasions where people tip low or not at all, BUT I could never (and never have) ask them why or comment on that they should pay 20% tip. That's so tacky! You charge a fee and anything given extra is appreciated. If none is given, then it's a sign they probably weren't super happy and should work on things. Anyways, I'm sad to have to stop coming here. I would've came back regardless (if they didn't make it weird and make such a tacky comment) and probably would've just asked for someone else. Please run your business better, looks like from the reviews this has happened a few times (and that's just people who leave reviews) so obviously there's a reoccurring problem about this custom *damn near mandatory* 20% tip. So tacky. read more

Very clean environment and calm ambiance. Staff were friendly. I made an appointment the evening before for two 90 minute hot stone massage ($90 each). If you are a female client, you can request a male therapist at the time of your booking for a $20 discount. Plenty of free parking around the area. One star off because we booked an appointment for hot stone massages, but they forgot the hot stones and used hot towels. read more

Massage was ok. I was not asked how the pressure was for my back or what areas I wanted focused on most, so I literally just took the pressure pain the lady provided. Now I am so sore. I went with a friend and his masseuse kept burping or had some type of acid reflux issues. I understand we all have certain issues but please take something especially while giving a massage, having to be real close to your clients. It's not very pleasant to have that going on while you are trying to relax or fall asleep. The two ladies also kept talking in their language, not very professional & again not a pleasant experience while trying to relax. At the end, we tipped the ladies and they said "well if you say massage was excellent then tip more!" They literally had a tip chart printed & placed at check in/out area ranging from not good to excellent. For excellent, $30 and up is what is expected. To be honest I wouldn't say the massage was excellent but I tipped them anyway so my friend and I can get out of an uncomfortable situation. I will not be returning. read more

Very nice, no frills massage place. The service and staff was very good and accommodating. read more

Ownership changed. This is not good anymore. These ladies are money hungry. Asking more tips + charging $10 for shower. I'm not coming back.

Good hard massage. The lady recognized I had knots in my shoulders and decided to hang from the ceiling and step on me Thai style! What a relief. Your money will be well spent here My gripe is that they don't honor the check in deal unless you write a 5 star review on the spot. That defeats the whole point of yelp in my opinion, y'all can't buy 5 stars, gotta earn them the correct honest way. read more

This is a nice massage spot for if you want to treat your body to a refreshment. I read some of the 1 star reviews about TIPPING and prepared myself. read more

Decided to try this place after just receiving a facial treatment 2 doors down...hey, gotta support local business! sign at the front CASH ONLY so be aware. First time at Hadley's and didn't really see the sign from the street other than the Massage banner hanging overhead....This place is similiar to other asian masage places popping up all over the Bay Area which is more acupressure massage (use of their elbows) so keep that in mind. I walk in and its quiet with a nice, relaxing atmosphere...not sure what to try but i always seem to have a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders, head so i told the receptionist I wanted an hour with emphasis in those specific area...and that's exactly what i got which was perfect! Brought to private room with massage tables...remove everything except your bottoms...Amy was my masseuse and my first thought was 'oh boy, she's not going to do as firm as i would like'...well she was strong and got all the right places, especially with my head, temples, back of my head...awwwww....nice! Oil and massage on my back, with hot towel and used hot stones which felt really good...for the price i think it was totally worth it... Those complaining of tipping more than $5 (for an hour massage?!!!) or $10 minimum are just cheap! Really? My thought is if you received a great massage, you would be paying $75 (if not more) not including tip elsewhere...yeah, i DON'T agree with people expecting a tip and putting their hand out but with the awesome hour-massage received today and adding tip ($14) i think i made out...and heck i feel so much better and refreshed! read more

If you want a masseuse burping the whole entire time and uses their elbow for pressure then this place is for you. I'm left with a sore body.. I can barely lay down now. Plus they expect you to tip them. Like, do they even understand the concept of tipping? Not returning again. read more

I love ashiatsu massage. It targets my upper and lower back perfectly. I wish I knew my masseuse' name because she did it perfectly and then used her elbows to get deep into my rhomboids. I'm fortunate to have found her after a long day of driving and lifting. It's unfortunate that I don't live close enough to be able to see her more often. read more

Went in and asked for someone strong for my massage and they gave me a old lady. Nothing wrong with older masseuse but I literally had to ask her "stronger" every 5 minutes. I left feeling no change at all with my body. Wasted $60 including tip.. only thing she massaged was my back and it was suppose to be a full body massage. There's people that need healing and I would suggest you guys do a better job at hiring and training your staff. I don't think people would mind paying your prices if the job is done correctly. read more

Ocean Spa is close by and easy to make appointments. I usually get the Swedish or Deep Tissue. It's definitely a harder massage, sometimes not very relaxing but I always wake up the next day feeling great. Keep in mind that your masseuse will be waiting for a tip outside your room, so always have some cash handy. read more

This review is long overdue, I came here twice before and loved both of my experiences. It's on B street in Hayward so finding parking can be a hassle sometimes. I mostly have to walk down. It's easy to pass it by so make sure your paying attention. The woman who greets me is always so sweet even though I never made an appointment she finds a way to accommodate me. Both massages I got was a Swedish massage with the full body scrub and it was amazing! The masseuse really does and amazing job, I've had two different ones and they both were great. They Really listen if you want something done different. The vibe of the whole place is really clean and calm with nice dim lights and soft music, puts you in a relaxing mood. What ever fragrance they use for the body scrub stayed on me all day, and my skin was so soft, it was amazing! The prices are so affordable which is one of the main reasons I like this place! Quality massage at an affordable price. You can't beat that. read more

Never coming back!!!!! Didn't get to relax . I wanted to do a massage and ended up waiting in the lobby for sooo long maybe about 30 minutes just after someone had came out and told me they'd be right with me once I got there . I am a patient person which is why I waited but they kept coming out and pretended as if I wasn't there ... definitely walked out do not come here it is a waste of time . read more

I decided to come in for my birthday today and When I entered I noticed they posted a tip bracket being $15-$20 is the lowest, $20-25, $25-30, and $30 and up as their EXCELLENT. The masseuse answered their business phone during my massage, I could hear the guy yelling outside the rooms, and definitely hear T4 Boba spot slamming their blenders down. But these were even tolerable for me. They confronted me asking for a bigger tip. $20 is apparently not enough. I told her I didn't bring extra cash. She wanted me to use my credit card. I told her okay I will add another $10. She asked for more. Then that's when I stood my ground. This business should not be able to use the great reviews of "Ocean Spa" before! read more

I've been to this establishment 2 times before. The 1st time, I got a mediocre massage, but not so terrible I couldn't give them the benefit of the doubt and try a different therapist. My 2nd time, I had a much better experience. This encouraged me to come back a 3rd time. As usual, I requested a deep tissue massage. The therapist I got this time clearly was not trained in deep tissue, which means the owner or management mistakenly thinks strong pressure equals deep tissue. As a professional massage therapist of 24 years, trained in Deep Tissue work, I can tell you with authority it is not. So either they're hoping clients don't know better or they're not making sure their therapists can competently provide deep tissue work. Either way, they're not selling as advertised. But worse than that, my therapist didn't feel motivated to do a good job. She slogged through an obviously cookie cutter routine, not paying attention to my body. And unlike her previous 2 colleagues, she didn't even try to communicate or solicit feedback to try to give a quality massage. Finally, when leaving, she was waiting by the front desk when the receptionist asked if I wanted to give her a tip. As a massage therapist who has worked at several establishments over the years, I immediately cringed at how awkward and inappropriate it was to make this request with the therapist present. I explained to them as much, adding that I've been a professional massage therapist over 24 years, then told the receptionist that what I received was not a deep tissue massage. She wouldn't even give me the courtesy and respect as a return client of looking me in the eyes as she looked down and muttered "OK" dismissively. No apologies. Not even a false display of humble contrition, much less an effort to make it right with an offer to give me a complimentary visit in the future with a promise to provide a qualified deep tissue massage therapist. I don't think she was the owner, as I had a more mature receptionist before who carried an air of skilled management. So I hope the owner of this establishment really takes this review to heart -especially as a trained professional and 24+ year veteran in this field- and makes a meaningful effort to make amends. read more

They actually know what deep tissue massage means. Normally I go to places and they are not able to work out my tight back. This place is reasonably priced and they will work out the knots. I will be back. read more

I can honestly say this massage was GREAT! My boyfriend and I both had wonderful experiences. 1. We called ahead and we're given same day same time appointments. When we got there he could hear them preparing for us. 2. Rooms were clean and warm with in room heat control to suit your preference (also heated table). 3. Deep tissue massage was ACTUALLY a deep tissue massage. Pressure was great and therapist needed no direction! My boyfriend felt the same way.. compelled to tip double! The best thing about this business is that it is quiet. Private room or couples is also a plus! Over all we will definitely be back! This is our little jewel now... read more

Came here for the first time several months ago on a whim with my sister, we hadn't a massage other than those painful ones they offer at the county fairs...ouch. Have to say each time I come, I am more and more pleased! Tia is my GIRL! My first visit was with another woman, can't recall her name right now, but the last 3 visits have been with Tia and I will not stray. They've always been very flexible scheduling my sister and I in, we've called same day each time we've gone in and there was only one occasion when we could not be seen that same evening. We've only ever got the "couples room" because we go together. It's a large, dimly lit room with two beds. They give us some time to get undressed, and it's Swedish massage aka relaxation city from there on out. We pay for the hour massage, and for me, it's the perfect amount of time. The first half of the massage is over a bed sheet face down; second half is directly on skin using oils and for a brief part of the massage at the end, you are on your back. You MUST speak up if it's too rough for you! If you don't enjoy your massage here it is no one's fault but your own! read more

Lotus massage use to be Ocean Spa we use to get massages at Ocean spa it was great now it lotus massage and it's horrible. My masseuse kept burping and just rubbing lotion on my back literally that's it. First 19mins she rubbed just back of my head( timed it with my phone) and when I asked her to massage my back then she started rubbing my back with just her dry hands and kept pulling on my skin and burped 20times already. 8 minutes later she put cold lotion right on my back and started massaging with her fingers because I asked her not to massage with her elbows because she kept stubbing her elbows anyways she started massaging with her fingers and now her nails are stubbing me. I was so mad that after that I didn't say a word to her. I went to the front desk after to complain after my massage and the only thing the guy at the desk (Kung) had to say was "and her tip?" Oh and I did pay for my so called massage before the massage now I know why!!! Please never go to Lotus Massage you'll come out stressed out! read more
