Update 12/22/21 - the owner reached out to me to apologize for my experience. He said that the room…read moretemperature was not up to their expectations and that they would look into it. He did explain because it is also a medical office that there will be loud bangs and moves and there wasn't much they could do to change that. Which I understand. It just depends on how quiet you want your massage setting to be. I changed my rating from 3 stars to 5 stars because they took the time to reach out, they showed true care and consideration, and they gave me a refund for the massage as they said they want to ensure most of all that I was happy. 12/18/21 - I came here for the first time ever to get a deep tissue massage. My appointment was early morning. When I walked in the front desk associate greeted me kindly and had me fill out paperwork. It wasn't long after that I was called back for my massage. The room setup looked nice. However, the room was ice cold. It was on the second story of this house. It was so cold that even the heated bed barely had an effect. The masseuse had ice cold hands too. So it was far from relaxing because it was like ice cubes touching you every time you are trying to relax. I don't blame her because I'm sure she was cold too. Obviously. What I didn't like was that I could hear my masseuse chewing her gum the entire time. Christmas music was playing the entire time too. I like Christmas music but not when I'm getting a massage...that's far from relaxing lol. You also could hear every noise in the building. Customers walking in downstairs and talking, loud random bangs, etc. I would not recommend coming here for a massage.

This is a lovely little spa inside the Marriott Falls View hotel. My wife and I went for the oasis…read morethermal journey and were pleasantly surprised with all they mange to fit into a small space. The indoor hot tub and salt sauna were both quite spacious, and while the three outside pools were much smaller, they were great for working through the circuit of varying temperatures. There's also a dry sauna you access from that area. You get unlimited use of the facility for three hours, which is quite a good deal. We are big fans of nordic contrast circuits and have visited plenty of similar spas in various cities and countries. For the price, this one covers all the bases very well with few frills, and that's okay with us. The service was good, and the employees friendly, even if they did seem a bit overworked at times. This location isn't as luxurious in its other amenities as some other options in nearby Niagara-On-The-Lake, so if you're after a full pampering experience, you might look into one of those, but the much lower cost here made it a worthwhile trade-off for us. Plus the location is convenient to a lot of other sites and restaurants, and free parking is included. All in all, good facilities, good people, good price point. We will be back again for sure!

We both had our inferred session same day together Monday afternoon. He had his facial same day Monday-he said he really enjoyed it. He face was very dewy and moisturized . Pleasant experience. My spa session on Tuesday was good; I'm am so glad i booked early morning bc I had the place to myself for almost two hours. Remember I said petite.Yes it a cute space to relax is you have an hour or so. Tried the Himalayan salt sauna larger pool; open shower, dry sauna and hottest whirlpool(it was mild). The cold plunge whirlpool was good. I enjoyed my time. They have three whirlpools outside fits 4 comfortably maybe 5 strangers. I had them to myself so it was wonderful. Overall it was a great experience for me. They seem to offer full spa services from what I saw as I walked around. The spa gets a 4 star due to amenities cleanliness and offerings. Although small the space was utilized well. I very big on customer service and the Tuesday staff was clearly not morning people; thus the reason for the overall 3 stars. If you're in the hotel area yes visit during off peak times to have the best experience it gets crowded quickly due to small size.

The special deal…read morewas for an ultimate spa package, including a massage with hot towels, back cleanse, and salt scrub, and a one-hour signature facial with essential oils and hot towels. The spa is inside the Green Street Wellness Center and Spa. The place was very clean and quiet. Room was decorated nicely and plenty of room to get changed. The massage table was heated which was very nice on a freezing cold day in Buffalo. The facial was done first and then the back rub and scrub after. She advised me after she got started that the way the advertisement was listed made it seem misleading as far as the "massage" part goes. It is a light massage. If you are looking for a real massage I would suggest to look elsewhere as that is not offered at her spa. The facial was very nice and relaxing. I loved the smell of the products she used and most importantly they felt good on my skin. I felt we had just enough conversation throughout my services and she is very polite and professional!

It's a classic European style sauna where you can sweat in a large sauna, take a cold plunge in a salt water pool, shower, shave, and enjoy an informal meal with your friends. The facility is very clean and includes a kitchen where the staff will prepare food you bring. We had steaks. They were expertly grilled and waiting for us after the sauna. Delicious! They also offer other things I did not try like massage, birch leaves for the sauna, and a relaxation room. All together is a great place to unplug, relax and socialize. I left feeling invigorated with a glow on my face.

With the entrance fee, you are given a towel, bathrobe, and a bracelet for a locker. You can also opt for different add-ons for your experience such as an exfoliator/scrub or a sauna hat. They do not offer slippers so bring your own if you prefer them. I found the saunas hot enough as I have a low heat tolerance. The cold bucket plunge was also refreshing after the sauna. The cold plunge is a well that states a one person limit, though many people went in with 2-3 people at a time. The entire atmosphere reminds you of a cottage getaway. Afterward, we went to the dining area where they offer complimentary tea at the cutest tea station. They also make homemade kombucha and offer pickle vodka shots. We ordered the borsht, cabbage rolls, dumplings, herring, and the sourdough pancakes. Right off the bat, everything was delicious. The borsht was probably one of the best I've ever tasted, especially with the sour cream and the tanginess of the broth. The cabbage rolls were juicy and seasoned well, the sourdough pancakes tasted like fried dough and had a rich buttery flavour as opposed to the sweet, cakiness you would expect from a pancake. But the most surprising was the herring, which came with pickled cabbage on top and was incredibly tasty. Definitely give this a try if you visit. The drinks were also made strong, despite the low price ($11-15 for a cocktail). We all agreed that we should return just for the food alone!

I had an absolute blast at women's night which is every Tuesday at Southwestern Bathhouse!…read moreAdmittedly because it was my first time I was confused as hell and the front desk didn't really walk me through any of the rooms or what their functions were or what to do first etc, but all the info was on the website and there were only three rooms and one cold plunge so it ended up being kind of self explanatory. Scrubs are five dollars for purchase which actually is kinda crazy considering the size but I came for the full experience so you bet I bought one for the steam room. The sauna and steam rooms were INSANELY hot and the cold plunge was INSANELY cold. It was FANTASTIC lol! It was so foggy in the steam room I literally could barely see anyone else and my nostrils were burning from the heat. The water in the pool was nice and cold though and really helped keep cool in there. The larger sauna was super relaxing temperature wise and more for chilling out. If the cold plunge was too extreme there was also a chain and bucket that release cold water that was not nearly as freezing. There was a lovely cozy rest area with dim lights and a tv and in the nook of the dining area a plethora of stunning herbal, aromatic and fruity teas. As for the food itself, AWESOME. There were plenty of options for me as someone who only eats halal meat and has to otherwise be vegetarian or pescatarian in the event meat is not halal. I had potato pelmeni and the bowl was LOADED. I was in absolute BLISS. The mushroom julienne was a pool of cheese, cream and mushrooms, what was there not to like there??? The bread was the only meh part of it all. The sour cream cake was lovely and fluffy. Very homemade vibes. I loved the experience and would absolutely come back again!

This place isn't fancy but it has everything a sauna lover would need for a relaxing time. It's…read morevery nondescript from the parking lot entrance but don't be fooled by appearances. Inside, there are 2 Finnish saunas, 2 Russian banyas, a large steam room, big cold plunge pool, hot tub, salt room, restaurant and multiple lounge areas. Value is the best I have found (I have also gone to the now closed Sanduny Sauna and Southwestern Banya). The change rooms are basic but you get a full sized locker. There are only 2 shower stalls and they only provide soap, so bring your own shampoo/conditioner. The lounge areas have free tea and filtered water. It's mostly muskoka chairs and a few lounge chairs. You can sit by the pool area (I enjoyed sitting there are seeing people's reactions to the freezing cold water) or there is a big back area with TV's or there are some other tucked away areas for something quieter. The Finnish saunas have higher temperature but lower humidity, so they don't feel as hot. The banyas are HOT. I started in the Finnish ones before working my way up to the banyas. They do not post the temperatures the way the Korean saunas do, so I have no idea how hot they actually were, but in one of them I couldn't last more than 2 minutes - I literally felt like my skin was on fire!! This place is for the serious sauna aficionado, for the people who go to the sauna at the gym and complain it isn't hot enough. The big banya has a bench by the entrance for venik (the leaves on a stick that you can ask someone to hit you with... look it up). They have buckets of water in the hall to store your venik so the leaves don't dry out. I don't think they offer massages right now due to staffing issues. The crowd was mostly men when I went on a family day. There were a few families with kids, although the kids did not go into the saunas. It seems like there are a lot of regulars and overall the vibe is friendly and welcoming. Robes and towels were in good condition and the facilities were clean. I was there almost 3 hours and saw staff walking around and making sure everything was in order. The restaurant serves Russian/Ukranian dishes like soups, pickles, perogies, etc. I tried the chicken carburek which was nice, if a little bland. I would've gone for beef stroganoff or chicken kiev but didn't want to be stuffed before going back into the saunas. If you are look for a legit sauna experience without the frills, this is your place! I recommend bringing: swimsuit, flip flops, shampoo/conditioner, body lotion, a book, water bottle, a sauna hat if you have one.

Having learned about all the health benefits from Saunas and Cold baths recently from all the…read moreexperts that go on podcasts I decided to give it a try. It looks like its more tricky to find a place that offers a cold plunge as well and luckily this one does. I will say though I did not expect it to be this pricey basically $50 per session. While you get to stay up to 4 hours I feel id rather pay $50 for 4, 1 hour sessions. I guess however with how packed this place was ( I went on Saturday) the price is not something that is affecting most customers. I enjoyed the experience and did feel great after, If I could do a 30 min session after waking up every day I feel like I would be super productive. Sadly there is no real membership, a 10 visit pass is $350 its great if you can afford it but for now I will have to wait until Saunas become more widespread in the GTA and the competition brings the prices down.

I'm so glad I was able to do two sessions here and honestly, I think about this place every day. The guides here are so special. The concept of other ship is contrast therapy: there is sauna, and cold plunge. But it's unlike any contrast therapy I've done. It's a 75 minute class where you go in and your swimsuit and it's coed. You take part in a version of Aufguss - a sauna where they break balls of ice infused with delicious essential oils. I took a Gacha class where you do lymphatic drainage and then I also took a heart opener class. They also have free flow where there's no guide. The cold plunge is really special - you get paired up but if the class is small you can go alone. I've cold plunged a lot, and this experience transformed me. I was able to stay really, really calm and have a euphoric experience. The guides also use a tuning fork after the cold plunge to get you to calm the nervous system. The shower and changing room is not ideal for anyone that wants to go about their day after the experience but other than that, I wish I lived in Toronto to do this daily. The staff is also super friendly. They gave me their signature incense for my first visit. I love, love this place.

The co-ed area is one huge room with hard wooden seats, 1 projector that was showing a hockey game, 2 treadmills, 1 pool table that is $2 a play, 2 flat screen TVs that were off, a snack shop and eating area and an area leading to the sauna room. Snack shop had instant ramen of course, hard boiled eggs, and ice cream among other things. Free WiFi and water is also available. The sauna room is also one big room that lead to 6 different sauna rooms: Elvan stone, Salt, Crystal, Jade, Loess and Germanium. The temperature ranges from 45-100 degrees Celsius and each have a security cam inside. There were plenty of mats and blocks available to use. In addition there is 1 Ice room but it was just cool. It was not cold enough as not all of the wall froze over. The other Korean saunas I've been to had seatings except this one. This room was the only one without a cam. The men's locker room was big with access to several shower stalls, 1 cool tub (not cold), 1 hot tub, 1 body scrub room and 1 steam room. I found it weird that the staff doing the body scrub would periodically look out the window into the shower and steam room area. It's $55 for a body scrub for 30mins and goes up from there. The front desk lady was nice and the entire place was fairly clean.
