I was visiting Dublin and needed acupuncture for a sore lower back after a long flight and miles of walking. Unfortunately they were booked so I had a massage by Fiona instead. It was by far one of the best healing massages I've been lucky enough to have. Fiona is intuitive and felt that my upper back needed more care to help release my lower back- SHE WAS RIGHT. My breathing (which I was struggling with since covid I had 3mo ago) wasn't labored anymore. I only did 30min but it was perfect! Thanks, Fiona. read more

My friend and I both had excellent hour long massages at Melt. Michelle was my masseuse and she was very, very good. Knowledgeable, intuitive and just the right amount of pressure to work out my post-flight tension and soreness. Looking forward to returning! read more

Had a fantastic massage at Melt today. After 2 weeks of walking around Ireland, I needed it! Would definitely come back again when I'm in town. read more

Just an update: I have been back here 3 or 4 times now. Thankfully the noise isn't quite as bad as the first visit. I'm still giving it 3, as I had a mediocre massage from one of the therapists, it was the only appointment I could get. The place is still a bit "clinical" or soemthing..hard to put my finegr on it, but just not the most comfortable surroundings. They need to "soften" it or something... I've been back to Meave several times. She gets 5 stars!!. When I win the lotto I'm going to hire her on a permanent basis! read more

I just had a wonderful therapy by acupuncturist Michelle in Melt. Can't recommend it highly enough. I've had various therapies there over the years and the standard is always really great with excellent follow up. read more

After a long weekend of traveling and dancing till 7am every night over in London, my back was a massive ball of tension. So I decided to treat myself to a back massage at Melt. I'd heard good things through word of mouth from friends and having never been before devided to give it a shot. They fit me in at the last minute after a quick phonecall and two hours later I was there. The massage was great - one of the best I think I've ever had. I would give the experience 5 stars but for the fact that I could hear conversations through the partitioned walls in other rooms, but apart from that it was blissful and I left floating on a cloud and thankfully much, much looser. Their prices are competitive, perhaps a little on the high side, but very similier to other places in the city center. I'll definitly be back. read more

Worked in Dublin for 2 weeks with shoulder and back pain from the 10 hour plane flight. As soon as I could I looked for acupuncture to help. Got super lucky to find Melt and Michelle. Michelle normally doesn't work Wednesday but again I got lucky and she saw me after her special appointment. After an awesome massage Michelle placed accupuncture needles and worked her magic. After treatment the pain was gone and also had a great night sleep. The experience was so good I made another appointment for Monday after a surf trip Sunday to Lahinge, again the massage/ acupuncture combo was perfect for what ailed me. Will be back next trip for sure. Thank You so much for healing me body and soul read more

I walked by the other day. Having never seen this before and an unexpected free hour I popped in. I asked if there was any possibility of getting a 15 minute chair massage, and they accommodated me straight away! It was a great massage and a super nice therapist. I'll definitely go back! read more

Had a fantastic massage from Aideen. Highly recommended. When I want a massage I want more than a rub down, I want results. And I got them. read more

I'm not sure if I'm cut out for massages. I don't seem to get out of them what other people do. I tried an Indian head massage today at Melt at lunchtime and it was lovely. My masseur was Kevin, and he's a gentleman with very healing hands. I did enjoy the head massage but I think my noggin could have done with more of a pummelling. From what I understand, Indian head massages are pretty gentle and this was very nice. However it was not exactly what I was looking for. The room was lovely and relaxing, spotlessly clean and the music was soothing, so full marks for that, and for Kevin's professionalism. All in all, a lovely experience. read more

Melt yoga classes: avoid at all costs! I've purchased one the city deals voucher for 8 yoga classes at Melt. On the face of it, it looked like good value. I was a bit put off by the reception of the salesgirl who took my name down for the class. First, she never stopped eating her snack while talking to me (mid-afternoon, not quite a lunch break) then when I mentionned I'd be on holidays for a couple of the classes that were part of the 8-week course, and asked if it would it be possible to attend another couple of classes the odd week to make up for it she emphatically said no, this would mess things up. Highlight #1: Rude AND unaccommodating staff Now, as to messing things up, I don't see how it could get worse: the website stated the wrong start date for the course, so I turned up on the last class of the previous course. That wasn't spotted at the reception where a different staff member from my first encounter was only interested in getting my voucher Then on enquiring about changing facilities, that same person curtly directed me behind a curtain where various big objects such as spare massaging chairs where kept, with no light. In the dark, I had barely room to lift my arms to change my clothes . The only aternative was one loo that of course was quite busy. On the the second visit I was asked again for the voucher I had already given. There is no system in place to check in for your class: you have to queue behind shop customers doing their transactions, wasting your time until you give your name (which is then scribbled on a piece of paper - or not - the whole thing looks totally shambolic). Highlight #2: Uncourteous staff, lack of organisation specific to the yoga course, wrong information on the website, no changing facilities to speak of The studio is L-shaped, which means that if you are unfortunate enough to sit at the top of the L, there's no visibility. The class is overcrowded, which leaves about 10cms between mats. Because it's overcrowded it gets stuffy, so the windows need to be opened at the front and the back, creating a draft and letting the noise from busy temple bar in, making the instructor hard to hear in turn. Highlight #3: Facilities from hell Why, I hear you ask, did I not just ask for a refund and left it at that? The yoga instructor, Roxanna, is good. She takes the time to correct every students' alignment and that's not something I've seen in many places. I think the main problem with this place is that Melt is primarily a shop that happens to accommodate yoga classes in whatever broom cupboard they can cram as many punters as possible, and make them pay heftily (when you get that service, even a 60% off deal doesn't seem like good value anymore) for the priviledge. The second big issue is of course the rudeness and cluelessness of their salestaff. read more

I have just attended my second acupuncture session at Melt and am very impressed (and surprised!) with the positive results at this early stage. Despite my initial nerves (being an acupunture novice) I was quickly put at ease by Nina, who is both a confident and professional practitioner. In addition to the treatment, Nina also advised me on dietary changes I could make to enhance the process. The treatment rooms are quiet and spotless and provide a tranquil space in which to relax. I have found that sessions book up quickly and it is best to schedule ahead. Overall a great experience so far, nice, friendly environment and professional staff, highly recommend! read more
