First impression- clean, quiet, peaceful. The front desk lady made me pay as soon as I walked in and confirmed my appointment. I was a little take aback as usually they will allow you to pay after the service. She then asked me for a tip, I told her I usually don't tip until after I see how the service goes... if she was going to demand a tip as soon as I walked in, I was only going to tip 10% She relented and said she would wait for me to finish. Already off to a terrible start. The massage: I had the 60 min massage. the lady that did my massage was named Cindy. 10/10 did a fantastic job. I wish she had asked me in the beginning if I prefer a lighter or more firm massage, but she remembered in the middle so that was nice. Also, she takes feedback well, I pointed out a the locations of a few knots in my back and she always made sure to go back and give the areas extra attention In Conclusion: I had a fantastic massage. Thankfully the abruptness of the front desk lady didn't affect the rest of my appt. Also, be aware that if you use your credit card, they charge you a "tax" of $5.25 so with tip I ended up paying 25% but a good massage place is hard to find, so whatever, I'll still come back lol read more

I asked for medium pressure but the masseuse did it so hard that now I have bruises in my back

Great spa in UWS NY. Most technicians are well trained so a consistent experience for a good value. Almost always worth an extra tip for the value they deliver. No equivalent option in the area from my experience. read more

amazing spot!! i was a walk-in and they were so nice to fit me in. no frills place with great massages! will definitely be coming back and making sure to book an appointment!! read more

That was a great massage. I left feeling like a new woman. I appreciated the care I received. This is the type of service I like; efficient and pleasant. It'll be making my monthly appointments here. read more

Updating my review to one star because it seems at this point I'll have long lasting nerve damage in my foot from the reflexology....its been a month and it still flares up. The business has also made no effort to remedy after literally damaging my body with those ratchet techniques. I wish I could get my money back and my foot before this massage back. I will now make it my life goal to get shut this place down. Toodles NY Renewing spa! Better hope everything in your business is up to code read more

Best massages I've had in YEARS! And I have had many. Very clean, professional and absolutely transformative. I feel like a new person every time I go! read more

Here's another Groupon find, I got a 90 minutes couples massage. I called & made our rsvp, when the day came we arrived a little early by like 25 minutes they were not ready no biggie so we walked around & came back. Once they checked us in we were brought Inside, nice set up inside very calming. We settled into our beds & had a pretty great massage, the ladies were really working the muscles, neck & back we felt great after it was done. Your Groupon covers the massage no additional payments needed here aside from tipping the ladies. This was the best of the Groupon's finds so far, everything was nice & clean. Staff was nice, attentive aside from a little bit of a language barrier w one the girls everything was very good we had a great massage really worth the try. read more

Go with a groupon and you will have a good quality massage for rock bottom prices. My dd and I had the 90 minute massage with hot stones for $130 with the groupon. Both of the women were well-trained and sensitive to our needs - I like hard trigger point massage and my dd prefers only light pressure - and we were both happy. Also the quality of the rooms was a step above average from the super basic massage places. The walls were not paper thin, the lighting was adequate, and it was not a basement. If you are used to fancy spas, then this may disappoint. The staff spoke barely adequate English - but they did understand our instructions. The hot stone massage took about 10 minutes, think of it as a massage with a side of hot stones. And the place was still no-frills, even if it was sparkling clean. But the price is right. Just please, tip on the original amount of the package - which was $300. read more

Called last minute this morning for an appointment for a Body/Foot Massage Combo and Anna was so helpful and able to get me in. This is not a fluffy day spa, for lack of a better comparison. The place is clean and modern, and the massage rooms are nice (as seen in the picture). Yes they use a paper liner on the bed and the room isn't dead quiet, but for the price and skill of the masseuse, it's a hidden gem! My masseuse was Lily and she did a wonderful job. Ensured the pressure was good and that I was comfortable. She was absolutely wonderful and I left the spa nice and relaxed from my services. My feet needed some TLC and they left feeling like a new pair! read more

Thank you, Deborah and Joy, for leading me here! The business is bustling (or at least it was for the time that I was there) so appointments are recommended. But happily, I was able to book a massage on very short (15 minutes) notice. I apologize profusely for forgetting my masseuse's name a week after my visit, but she was excellent, adjusting her strong fingers to provide the "medium" pressure massage I requested. I tend to have a lot of tension in my shoulders and back, so tuina- / deep tissue massage-trained therapists (as I'm fairly sure she was) are inclined to use a lot of pressure. Thankfully she dialed back when I asked and the result was enjoyable rather than punishing! You are massaged on your back and front, including use of some Thai massage-like techniques on hips and lower extremities in my case, which I quite appreciated. The facilities are very clean and quiet except when other patrons disturb the peace. There was an unpleasantly loud and obnoxious woman who was there for part of my visit, who berated her masseur for not providing a hair clip among other things. She spoke to him as though he were stupid since he didn't respond immediately to her (very loudly shouted!) demands. English did not appear to be his first language, but that should have been navigable. (How many of us know how to translate hair clip into a second or third language?) She was so racist and abusive that I was close to intervening despite my state of undress -- but thankfully she left after her short session. The fellow who had to deal with her was absolutely kind, professional, and unconfrontational. It is hard to fault a business for an obnoxious patron. I quite enjoyed my massage nonetheless and my masseuse powered through with full attention despite the disturbance. Looking forward to a return visit. read more

Amazing local spot. Easy to book and great massage. I had Sarena and I would go back in a minute. Can't wait to find the time to go again read more

Someone here said it best, it hurt so good! I came here for my birthday and that massage was excellent. When you first walk in, you can feel the serene ambiance and the staff is super friendly. They do ask where you want the masseuse to focus on, but it's totally up to you. Their room set up is super cozy and comfortable along with the soothing music. I will definitely consider coming back here. It's not too far from where I live and would not mind doing the commute. Excellent service !! read more

This is my go to when I can't go downtown. They are nice and price is probably one of the best uptown. I have found one needs to double check the price list as it's not always in sync with either what's posted or what's online read more

I was looking for a spa that was open on December 25th, and was so excited to see that this place's booking calendar was full of appointment on that day! After commuting 1.5 hours, I was pretty surprised/bummed to see that the spa was actually CLOSED. I'm guessing they forgot to disable their online booking calendar for the 25th. I called the phone number a couple of times to try speaking with someone, but apparently their voice mailbox is not set up yet. Weird. I really enjoyed going to this spa years ago, but it appears their customer service has diminished? Too bad. read more

Absolutely love this place. Emma is my go-to - she knows exactly where all the sore spots are and gets a good feel of how much pressure to apply (plus will also ask every now and then to make sure you are comfortable). You can also tell them in advance if you want attention focused on a particular area, like your shoulders or neck. Prices are reasonable and they offer a loyalty discount card, which I intend on making abundant use of, now that my back is so messed up from using my couch as an office chair for the past year or so. The environment is comfortable and clean, particularly by COVID standards. Everyone wears a mask. I felt safe the entire time. (And for the reviewers who mentioned hearing other people talking - I mean, what do you expect? The walls are thin. Unless you're going to an incredibly fancy spa, you'll hear sounds.) Definitely worth checking out if you live around the neighborhood. read more

It was a good experience there. I would highly recommend this spot if your usual spot isn't available.

It was easy to make a foot massage appointment via phone on a weekday the day of - $38 not including tip. The place was clean. They finish the foot massage using a hot stone. I've been here a couple of times and always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. read more

Serena is the best. Great masseuse and clean facilities, try to make it there monthly

I had an excellent massage with Emma. The pressure was firm but not painful. She worked out all the kinks and I left feeling great. This was my third visit and I can't wait to go back. read more

I do enjoy going here. I've been going here for the past year. I work in the area, but I find when the new lady started working in the front desk very aggressive very mean, forceful and rude about additional tips to a point where I do feel uncomfortable providing tips because of the rudeness I have no problem tipping my amazing male masseuse, but when I call and I'm purposely being ignored(this being the second time) I find that very disturbing, especially as a woman of color that works hard for her money as a single mother. I find it off putting and disturbing, especially when I'm putting money into an establishment consecutively the card that I received when I first started is full, I should be treated better than this! read more

I've been meaning to go get a massage here and was finally able to last Labor Day weekend. I spoke to Andy on the phone who was really nice and asked him to give me a really good massage therapist. I went on Sunday afternoon for a 90 min aromatherapy hot stone massage and Emma was my massage therapist. I was impressed by the Covid-19 protocols, taking your temperatures, masks all throughout the massage (you can remove your masks while face down), and really clean facility. While I'm used to the luxurious spas, here in NYC I'm pretty much good with the no frills ones as long as I'm getting an excellent massage, that's what you're truly after anyway right? I was really surprised that the place actually had a wonderful spa ambiance, really clean, soft lighting, and gentle music playing. Emma was also really good and while I prefer deep tissue or hard, I always like starting with medium to see their level of strength and her medium was ale pretty strong to begin with so we stuck to that. She also checked in a few times to see if it was just right for me which is always appreciated. The hot stones were wonderful! Honestly one of my best massage experience here in NYC. It was so good that exactly 24 hours after, on Labor Day, I decided to go for another 90 mins massage, this time with my husband for a Couples massage where we tried CBD oil. We loved it and planning to make this a biweekly date! Thanks Andy, Emma, and Mary, for taking good care of us! Cannot wait to be back soon! read more

My friend and I came here for foot massages, which were a great deal at $38 for an hour! I called ahead to make appointments, and when I let them know I was running 15 minutes late, they were very accommodating. As we entered, we were greeted by a cheerful man who reminded us about wearing masks, then took our temperature and asked us to use hand sanitizer. The lounge chairs in the foot massage area were super comfortable and there was pleasant piano music playing in the background. The foot massage itself was great and ended with a hot stone rub! Overall the environment felt very safe given the COVID regulations. The facilities, including the bathroom, were all extremely clean and our masseuses wore face masks and shields. read more

I can't gate keep any longer. Emma at Renewing Spa II is a magician and one of the UWS best kept secrets! Her hands are magic and she gives one of the best massages I've ever had. She is intuitive and just naturally gifted. RUN, DONT WALK! read more

The masseuse know their craft. This is really worth a visit. The place is clean and we were in and out quickly like how I wanted.

I've gone here twice now with my wife, and we both have nothing but positive things to say. The massages are excellent, and tailored to your needs - just let the staff at the front know which areas you want them to focus on, and the pressure you'd like and they will take care of you! They also let's you choose aromas which is nifty - when I went they gave you a choice of lavendar or rose. read more

The staff here are very sweet but like some others my massage was a bit torturous. The lady was incredibly sweet and even requested to find someone else but they were almost closing so that couldn't happen. I ended up shortening my massage from an hour to 45 because when you've had a good massage it's just difficult to stay through a bad one. About the massage itself - all I can say is it felt like something was being done but I just don't know what. I couldn't feel a thing although I asked for a firmer touch when asked if it was ok. read more

I love this spa!! Prices are great. Masseurs are exceptional. I usually ask for Emma or Monica. They are a massage rock stars!! I have problems with my back and neck and have tried multiple places and techniques other my life span. No doubt after this place I feel the whole week like a newborn). read more

Great spa. clean and very quiet ...quality masseuses work here ...sometimes hard to get an appointment as a walk-in so best call in advance. I've been here at least five times and I always leave happy. read more

Wonderful place with a clean and recently remodeled interior. Easy to get same or next day appointments, massages are great and very reasonably priced at 55/hr for bodywork at the time this review was written. The hot stones are always a nice touch, and they're one of the few places that will consistently provide enough pressure for my wife's preference. We had been going to Renewing Spa in Chelsea for years when we lived downtown, and I'm so thankful we've got this here now that we're in the UWS. So good we are keeping a standing monthly appointment! read more

My partner and I was in need of a massage. We found this place through Groupon. Honestly, this place exceeded my expectation for the price. If you are someone who prefers closed door and sound proof body massage then this place isn't for you. You will hear other customers talking. The staffs there tried to keep their volume low to not disturb you. They have a couple room. I ended up with the couple room. Let me tell you, if you don't want to hear your partner snore or getting a massage then go for the individual room. The massage was good as my body was super sore. I prefer hard pressure and it met my requirement. I would come back for another one. read more

First time was excellent, second was horrible. They do have different stuff and everyone is different. I couldn't feel a thing and i asked for more intense approach, nothing happened i asked again and nothing. I couldn't fee a thing. Whats more disappointing is manager didn't say a word when i complained.nothing. I should t have stood up and left after 10 mins. The good professionals were Emma and Cindy, the other one kept pressing on my glands which led to pain after what she did on a back was a joke. I asked for name and the manager said Coco. They could easily change that name so you aren't protected. Just watch out someone with short hair and in her late 40. If you see her -do not go. read more

Very no frills place but I had a great 60-minute aromatherapy massage with hot stones. My masseuse was so thorough and really got out all the knots I had in my neck/shoulders. Would come back, especially considering the affordable prices (they're on Groupon!). read more

Im not understanding all these reviews. They were the reason i booked in the first place. Maybe i am used to nicer places? I know that sounds bad but idk.. i wasnt impressed with the presentation, only a sani paper sheet on the table, no linens, a small towel to cover yourself with..? I really wasnt impressed. The lady was nice but i wasnt totally comfortable. No doors, just curtains that dont shut all the way. Can hear everything happening within the "spa", music was kinda loud.. idk this place was not for me. read more

Very friendly staff. The place is clean and inviting. They kept the noise to a minimum which allowed you to fully embrace and enjoy the massage. They are a cash encouraged place, so come prepared to pay in cash. After that, the experience was worth going back for. read more

Wish I could give this place a million stars. It hurt so good and I'm so beyond excited I found a place with reasonable prices and amazing massages. I was greeted nicely and told about the covid precautions. Instantly impressed. My massage by Henry was painful and perfect. He knew exactly where to work the most. It was a very clean and zen vibe in there. Can't wait to go back. read more
