I found them on Groupon, and from the moment I arrived, they were friendly and easy to work with regarding the Groupon booking. When I was shown to the massage area, I was genuinely surprised by how large it was--there had to be at least 10 or 12 rooms, maybe more. The therapist was excellent. It was a very deep, intense massage, but by the end I felt great. I would absolutely go back and would definitely recommend them. I also misplaced my glasses (completely my fault), and they spent a good five to ten minutes helping me look for them. They couldn't have been kinder or more patient. read more

I was very disappointed!! I had a chair massage and almost instantly regretted it! The chairs head holder was broken and when the girl massaged my upper back my neck extended and was painful. I couldn't relax, I informed the girl and she acted like she ddnt understand so I had to stop multiple times and re arrange the head & neck part myself. I told the woman at the front and she said "I ddnt know" well as the customer I didn't know either, but the woman doing the massage did . She could've moved me somewhere else. ALSO the place smelled like pure FISH! I think they all warmed up their lunch and it wreaked! Some aroma at a relaxation session There are plenty massage places in stamford I rather go to read more

Over the course of about three months as we were visiting the East Coast I had an opportunity to visit this location. I would say overall, it was very accommodating and helpful. read more

Ambiance was excellent. The masseuse worked methodically to address my pressure spots and I left feeling relaxed and loose. I will definitely return and hope the experience is just as good. Highly recommend based on my experience. read more

Clean and professional staff. They have an excellent loyalty program that makes it very affordable. The decor is super cool and relaxing. I found them on Groupon. Lucky find! read more

I'm not one to leave a bad review, but my visit to Massage Palace start to finish was not pleasant. I booked a massage through Groupon, arrived to my appointment and was placed in a room. Was not told to undress, was not directed where to place anything. I waited in the room for the masseuse to arrive and he did not even introduce himself he just began. He started off rough-- digging his thumbs into the knots in my back. Although I appreciate the effort, it was extremely painful, but I thought hey-- I have a bad back, maybe this will help. He did that for about 20 minutes. I was sweating. Then, he pulled down my blanket and exposed my back, and the majority of my rear, which was uncomfortable. He then proceeded to use his entire force on all of the areas of my back. I was wincing in pain for the entirety and even asked for him to go softer multiple times, but he continued with the extreme force. I would assume that he was not very fluent in English. He then exposed my entire rear and legs, which was uncomfortable again. Then, he was stretching my legs across my back, he ended up almost lifting me off the table and my breast was completely exposed. I have been to many massages in my life, never had one like this. It was painful and not relaxing-- start to finish. I just moved to Stamford so I wanted to try this place out, but I was so unhappy and left very upset and uncomfortable. At the end, I left a generous tip in the room, and tried to leave quickly and go home as I was very upset. He then chased me out of the doors, and gave me a water bottle and put his hand out for a tip. The front desk lady said "tip??" I said "I left it in the room" and left. I would not recommend this place as it was not a relaxing experience in the slightest. read more

Something about this place is not right. Walked in and felt uncomfortably , with the sales pitch. I had to wait and then the reception said it would be 45minutes. I knew it was my chance to leave. Will NEVER go back read more

Regarding tipping - standard tip for basic service everywhere is $20 for an hour. 90 minutes is $30.

They're very professional and friendly. This was my first massage and the masseuse was very helpful in asking if the massage was too rough or anything like that every so often. read more

5 stars for the massage. Not so much for the payment. There seems to be a bait and switch going on.. when you come in there a big sign advertising thr massage prices, but when you pay to leave there is a smaller about the size of an index card on the table where you check out, that advises you to tip %20 read more

Absolutely phenomenal massage. I have been twice now, I had a female the first time and a male the second time. They really know what they are doing. I like deep tissue and can be picky with what I like. I never winced once from a painful movement in these massages (if you know what I mean, you know!!!). Only reason for 4 stars is I don't love how the massage "rooms" are only separated by curtains and not walls. It's not the worst things, just not 5-star luxury worthy. But the quality of the massage truly makes up for it. read more

This place has gone down hill. While the masseuse Cindy is wonderful, the front desk lady ruins it all. She tried to charge me $78 this time, even though the price is $68. When I pushed back, she finally gave in. Bad business and no wonder so many people complain about her. read more

I received a 60-min full body massage today around 6:30pm. The massage was great and the ambience was very relaxing. My only complaint is that the only thing separating me from the moaning, groaning man beside me was a barely-there curtain. I'm assuming it's like that to accommodate couple's massages but considering I didn't know the man it wasn't super romantic. He did, however, have a lovely, New York-Italian voice, so I'm open to the opportunity of joining him for a couples massage, should his face match his lovely voice. Therefore, if you're a gentleman who visited Massage Palace at the aforementioned time and would like to go for round 2 with a partner, you know where to find me. Also yes I recommend this place, and according to the sounds next door I'd say he enjoyed it too. read more

This place has a really nice ambiance and the staff made us feel welcome. Definitely didn't expect the space to be as expansive inside. After the massages, we felt so revitalized! Not sure about some of the other reviews on tipping - what we tipped was fine no questions asked. Would highly recommend this place as we do get massages fairly regularly (once a month). read more

They are liars. I booked online which promised a promotion. At the moment to pay they lied and made us pay full price claiming it was only for an hour massage. Do not recommend. This is the promotion i went in with. Which clearly stares online booking has a 30% off. The guy charged me full price and would not honor the promotion that appears on their own website. Extremely disappointed. False advertisement read more

Massage Palace - Reflexology Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

This is a great massage studio clean and efficient. I like a strong deep tissue massage. If you like that too ask for Jennifer. One of the best therapeutic massages I have ever had. Important Note: There is a very odd tipping issue here. The massages are rather inexpensive compared to swanky spas (I usually don't like those places because they are all about "nice massage" not working out the knots therapeutic massage). The expectations is that you will tip the masseuse well. They can be a bit insistent about the tips but I imagine that the tip covers whwhat they may not make in salary (given the inexpensive nature of the paying price for the massage ). I almost didn't go back because the tipping situation can be a bit uncomfortable. But Jennifer is so good I went back and now I feel I got it. A 1 hour massage should get $15 and up. A decent massage tip should be $20 and up. They work hard. Now that you know the situation it is best to be prepared. Go get an massage and enjoy. read more

Who would have thought I'd find the best massage place in Stamford, CT? I have been visiting different locations in NYC but this is the best so far. I personally like strong and deep massages so a guy masseuse was perfect for me. If you are fragile like my boyfriend make sure to voice your needs prior to laying down. Definitely pay cash and consider tipping generously. The people work inside are real professionals even though you might have an issue with the front desk/deals/coupons etc. read more

Had a wonderful 90 minute massage. Would highly recommend. My massage therapist never stopped or slowed down for the whole 90 mins. Wonderful experience. read more

Booked last-minute appointments here for my girlfriend and myself. Delightfully surprised! Would definitely go again. read more

Had a great massage. Absolutely amazing. Had great pain in my back, the massage did make me feel better. Randy read more

Clean facility and professional masseuses'. Very accommodating to my requests and highly skilled, will definitely return

Had a very good 90 min massage. Place was clean, very zen ambiance, good lighting and music. Therapist was excellent and super nice. Regarding all the complaints about tipping - yes the receptionist (who apparently is the owner) definitely pushes a tip and shows you a chart with appropriate tip amounts. You're supposed to tip on the regular (non discounted) price. I'm sure they've been stiffed, or people tip on the discount price. They probably make most of their living in tips so why get upset? It's actually helpful to have a chart. I'm sure lots of people don't realize you're supposed to leave a gratuity and that's understandable but it seems ok to let people know what's appropriate. I thought they were super nice and I'll definitely return. read more

Great deep tissue massage, very clean and calm inside. Def recommend coming here ! Also discount if you pay cash

I have just gotten back from getting a massage here. You enter in the building by Starbucks and go up an escalator. At the top, there are three different business. This being one. I was greeted by a nice lady. She gave me the option to do an hour at $49.00, though the regular rate was $60. I was on a hour lunch break so I said 45 mins. They said this would cost $45. Sound does travel here (as a previous reviews stated). A couple Spanish women were chatting away while waiting for their massage therapists. Which was slightly disruptive to my relaxation. Second, it was a bit rough without getting knots out. I felt like I was getting pushed up the table then back down then up again and then back down. **Third, I felt that TOOOOOO much time was focused on my buttock. This was slightly upsetting. I didnt say anything, which I should have. Just be aware that at least one massage therapist spends a lot of time in this area. Underwear in buttcrack and full massage in this area. And then again, and then again. No questions asked. Lastly, when paying at the end, the therapist stands there while you complete the transaction and supply the tip. The lady before me was only charged $35 (the VIP rate) for an hour massage, without being a VIP member. Which was not very fair since I had a 15min shorter massage and paid $19 more. The lady that I thought was nice, said "Only $5 tip? It usually costs $60, I gave you 1/2 off" and that customer just said ok. When I was completing my credit card transaction, she charged me $49.00, which I was originally told $45.00. She also stood there watching me fill out the tip- and made the suggestion that I tip $10.00. Overall, poor business and a front desk lady who makes things very uncomfortable and unfair. I won't be returning and dont recommend it. I will continue to visit the Stamford Mall massage place-Wellness Experts. It is somewhat loud with the mall traffic, but have always been professional and are consistent across the board with their rates. So it's not all negative- Positive: - hard pressure from the therapist - dim lighting - nice spa-like music - very okay using a lot of oil - oil washed off skin with hot towels at the end - they use hot stones at the very end for about 10 mins read more

I called to set up an appt and was seen today at 3p. This is my first time getting a massage at this location and it was perfect. I informed staff that this was my first time and they made me feel welcomed. My massage was for one hour and the massage was perfect. The place is clean, relaxing and noise free. If you pay cash the price is standard but with a credit card, there is an additional charge. I truly enjoyed it and will return soon!!!! read more

What a nice addition to this area! And talk about great prices! If you are in need of a quick or not so quick massage, this is this place. The staff are courteous and knowledgeable. The decor inside is surprisingly tranquil and well designed. The massage 'rooms' are separated from each other with a curtain / wall so there's privacy but you should be aware that it's not sound proof (you can hear clients coming and going). They give you water at the end and like I said, you really can't beat the price for a well done massage. Will definitely be returning! read more

Went in for my usual massage tonight, and will not be returning. So unprofessional, and when I went to tip (I tipped 18% based on the service) they asked me for more money. Will not be returning, and will discourage others from going here. Better off going to the place in the mall. read more

The place is super cute but it doesn't make up for how horrible my massage was. I went with my cousin and we both got massages together, it was spacious so she was only feet's away. The woman who did my massage was just not great. All she did was touch my back and jiggled my body... it was horrible. The next couple of days, my back has been hurting ever since. I needed to go get another massage at a place I always go to... Sorry for the bad review but the massage performance needs to be better. Also, the receptionist is SO eager for the tips! She will tell you how much you should tip, which I don't have a problem with but that just goes to show, if they're forcing me to tip, it wasn't that great. She was rude about it as well. read more

The massage therapists are very skilled. They don't just do the same pattern, they adjust their techniques based on your muscles and how tight they are. Nice decor, soothing space, really helps you separate from day-to-day and relax. Get the VIP card if you plan to go 4 or more times, you'll save some money that way. read more

Called for reservation abd was told to come right in.. Came over. Then was told that they made a mistake and no availability until later in the day. Talk about unprofessional. Waste of my time. read more

Pay a little extra and go somewhere where people actually know what they are doing! The grand opening special says $35/hour for a full body massage. The massage wasn't that great but I thought "okay well I'm only paying $35 what did I expect?" Turns out when I went to pay the lady tells me $49! I told her the door says $35, she said that's for membership holders only, no where on the sign does it say that... then which I presumed to hand her my card she wanted to charge me and extra $5! No only is charging credit card fees illegal but very unprofessional. Seriously don't bother coming here! Rude staff and very pushy. Nothing about this place is pleasant! read more

Worst place ever!!!! Do not go here. The lady was extremely rude.. charged us full price despite discussing 30% off during the initial phone call which was a promotion. The 30% price was posted in the store and yet she continued to lie about the price. During the massage she was frantic because she was busy and got up 4 times during my massage because they were "busy". She also took phone calls. Ohh she also charged me an extra $2.00 for using my card even though the credit price was already listed as a few more dollars than the cash price. I have so much more to say but don't here. read more

I had severe back and neck pain and decided a massage might help a little. Cynthia worked wonders and it helped more than a little! She gave me an amazing deep tissue massage! She was thoroughly professional and did not hold the pressure back (which is exactly what I needed!) The place is fairly priced and clean and well maintained. Would highly recommend it! read more

I went after they reopened , the place was extremely clean . The staff seems to always be wiping something down and they all have masks on and some have both with shield . I felt the cleanliness was well taken care of . I had a full body massage , rooms were also clean and bed was comfy and clean . The guy forgot his name did a great job breaking up my knots in the shoulders and I felt relaxed. I also notice under the bed where I put my face was connected to some hose or ventilation that went outside the room and outside the place . Seems like a great idea to ventilate the rooms and each customer. Thanks for the wonderful massage and the extreme cleanliness . Highly recommended and will return . read more

Have been there three times and they do a pretty decent job. The owner, however, is extremely pushy and actually demanded that I not only give my therapist a tip (which I was in the process of doing anyway) but she then said my 20% tip was not good enough. Her money may grow on tress but mine certainly doesn't. read more

The massage service is alright but the owner, also the receptionist, is crazy about tips. She greedily asking for tips for the massagers. This makes me not want to go anymore. read more

Absolutely loved it! The trial price is great! Definitely recommend the $35 body massage for an hour-- they treat it like a real massage and the rooms are clean and relaxing. I felt great when I left! read more

very nice place for massage with chinese style palace decoration. friendly service. read more

See all

Nice, clean and great thorough massage. Used the first time $35 coupon for a 1-hour and will return! Affordable way to treat yourself and check out for a bit. read more

The massage was GREAT, the place was very clean and the atmosphere is very spa like. I will say that my upper back was achy for about a week after, she really focused on it, I guess I had a few knots as she mentioned. Overall I enjoyed the massage, but I've been reading in the reviews and EVERYONE IS RIGHT,... that receptionist is RUDE, and a tip is something I pay according to the service I received.....that being said,... DON'T ASK FOR MORE... Its rude and very unprofessional. That's the only thing I can honestly say was SUPER annoying. I'd go back but I swear, if she ask for more, I'm gonna give her a real piece of my mind without getting arrested hopefully. I'm all about being fair but DON'T ASK YOUR CUSTOMER FOR MORE MONEY!!! It's not good business. read more
