I love Piedmont Springs. I started going to see Milena before and after my back surgery. She has made such a difference in my healing and I look forward to our sessions together. She asks questions and listens to the changes I describe in my body and makes adjustments to help me feel my best. The front staff is also very welcoming and supportive. I am so lucky to have the chance to come regularly. Thank you! read more

Primary purpose of this review is a huge shout out to masseur David Righthon, who gave me one of the best massages ever. A sure, gentle touch with plenty of careful power to apply when needed. I've not been in for some time due to health issues. The spa amenities have slid a bit since the pandemic (e.g. bathrobes are no longer provided for patrons booking tub or steam/sauna before their massage), but otherwise still a lovely community resource for health and relaxation. read more

Some friends gifted my partner and I a coupon for a one-hour hot tub session followed by a massage of our choice. The place itself is pretty unassuming from the outside, you wouldn't think much of it walking in, but once you head toward the back, it opens up into these private little pods for each group. That setup really adds a nice sense of privacy, like you have your own little retreat. There's a quick rinse-off shower on the side before you get in, which is convenient, but they don't provide slippers, so if that kind of thing matters to you, definitely bring your own. The hot tubs themselves are relaxing, and I liked that the tops are open, so you still get fresh air and a bit of greenery around you. You can hear some light chatter from neighboring pods, but it honestly just blends into the background and didn't take away from the experience at all. There are free tea bags and hot water in the hallway you pass through on the way to the tubs. It's easy to miss, so grab a cup on your way in. After the hot tub, you head upstairs for the massage... via this tiny spiral staircase that feels a little questionable, not gonna lie. I definitely had a moment of "please don't let me trip right now," but once you make it up, it's totally fine. The massage rooms are upstairs, and you can customize things like the music and even how much clothing you're comfortable keeping on. It was my first time getting a professional massage, and I fully leaned into it, ended up falling asleep halfway through and waking up feeling ridiculously relaxed. read more

Wonderful deep tissue massage with Lotus today. Very professional and it was 10/10. I will definitely be back. read more

Booking a 30-45 minute cedar wood sauna at the end of my workday is a new wellness habit. It really helps me reset. I often get an extra boost of energy to keep going for 2-3 more hours. It's only $20-22 and with the extra 15 minute cool-down window included it ends up being 45 minutes to an hour. Well worth it! I've booked the combo room, regular hot tub rooms, and these are fun with another person. The fresh air and trees above make this a nice choice on a sunny day or clear night. The staff here is always so friendly. I haven't tried any of the massages or facials here so can't say anything about those but the rooms for an hour are a treat. read more

Piedmont Springs is the perfect hidden getaway! I love booking a private hot tub to unwind and it is decently affordable too! They keep things tidy and are always so kind. They provide hot tea for you to enjoy after a massage, facial, or other services right in the hallway. Truly an amazing time and let me tell you, their services are incredible! Get your facials here because the knowledge and expertise is top level. Parking can be a bit rough during peak hours so come early to find a spot and not have to rush. read more

I've been going here for decades and love it. Quite and relaxing private hot tubs. Plus the have massage, sanna and skin services. Friendly and pleasant environment. My only downside is some of the hot tubs are difficult to rurn on and sometimes turn themselves off mid soak. So far management hasn't properly addressed this issue. read more

Very relaxing. Calm quiet tub rooms. Felt a little rushed. You pay for 1hr but cut short 10 mins before your time is up. If you go passed the hour they will add a charge. read more

My girlfriend took me to a drag brunch and soak here at Piedmont for a weekend and it was lovely!!! Best little date idea. We didn't have massages on that visit, just using the couples private tub, but highly recommended! We drive in as far as the Sacramento area just to relax and soak here. Definitely on my bookmark lists for return visits. read more

I haven't been to Piedmont Springs for a massage in some time but have booked hot tub appointments with no issue. Booked a hot tub followed by a pain/inflammation massage 24 hrs in advance. I arranged my day for this evening appointment and get a call 1-1/2 before that unfortunately they would have to cancel. They make such a point to tell their customers that they'll be changed if they cancel yet it's absolutely no problem if they cancel on the customer. I made the appointment not to relax but to hopefully get some relief. Relief I won't be getting tonight. Seems things haven't changed. read more

I soaked in a hot tub Monday evening, and awoke the next day covered in a poison oak rash. I had not been near nature over the weekend, so am positive that I contracted the rash from their tub. When I called to let Piedmont Springs know, they told me they'd look into it? They did not offer to refund my $30, which would have been the minimum gesture of goodwill. The soak was nice itself, and the moon was glorious. That's the only saving grace of receiving a one star review. The moon did a lot of heavy lifting. read more

Such a relaxing way to spend a birthday. Very professional staff and considerate accommodations--highly recommend making a reservation for any occasion read more

Loved this place. So relaxing and kind staff. Can't wait to return. Highly recommend! read more

This was a nice hot tub experience and a unique activity. We went with a group of 4 and it was $30 per person for an hour. The hot tub is outdoors but enclosed in a wooden structure. The water is very, very hot, almost two hot, and there is one jet that is angled a bit too high so that it splashes water out of the tub. The tub was also filled too full so when all 4 of us got in, a ton of water splashed out and soaked the wooden sides and floor, making everything kind of damp and wet. We got there 10 minutes before our booked time at 6:30pm but the room wasn't ready until 5 minutes after our time started, but they still knocked loudly on the door 15 minutes before 7:30pm telling us our time was almost up. I feel like the time at the beginning should have been accounted for at the end. Towels were provided which was nice but were kind of thin. read more

We've been going to Piedmont Springs for a number of years now, and have sampled their hot tubs and their combo (hot tub and sauna) room. Their beautiful wood tubs are so peaceful to luxuriate in under the starry sky, and I feel so relaxed whenever I spend an hour there. Beyond relaxed. Beyond relaxed, and occasionally, devoid of logical thought. Last week, I was so blissed out on steamy water and air that I failed to take all my stuff with me when I left! And it wasn't just any stuff, it was my wedding rings! Yeah, I know I wasn't the brightest bulb to wear them to a hot tub visit in the first place, but it was a stressful time of year/life (hence the hot tub visit!), and I didn't have time to leave them behind. But as I soaked myself into al dente noodle consistency, all the stress and tension melted out of my body, sweeping away all my customary hypervigilant attention to detail! Not to worry, because even though I know they're not responsible for lost items, Piedmont Springs collectively leapt into action to find them. Manager Ben immediately coordinated the safe return of my cherished possessions, which had been spotted, bagged, and tagged by the night staff, and discovered anew by the cleaning crew. It would have been my own fault for doing so, but it was an absolute miracle for Piedmont Springs to have thwarted my loss. Next time I go in for a combo, I'm gonna get out of the tub two clicks BEFORE my thoughts become soup! read more

I've always come here to use the combination hot tub sauna room. It's always been lovely with no issues. I booked a reservation over a week in advance for today and found out after checking my email that my reservation had been cancelled. I'm in my swimsuit ready to leave my house and I give them a call to find out what happened as I never got a voicemail or any message from them before this email this morning, day of my appointment. They said they called all the reservations up until Sunday, the day before mine to let them know the room is down. They said they were hoping it would be up and running again by today and it was not and that's fine but they should have let me know and given me a call ASAP, not an email cancellation same day. They didn't offer me anything other than a "sorry". Pretty bad customer service and I'm really upset. read more

I have had two massages from Ezra and they are really the best massage therapist. I've experienced in my 25 years of getting massages. They are so attuned, intuitive, and have great strokes and pressure. I highly recommend them. read more

Clean, professional, welcoming, and respectful. The staff are always ready to make sure your experience is pleasant and healing. My wife and I love Piedmont Springs. read more

Love this place as concept and the facilities are great and simple, but the customer service is pretty bad. My friends and I come regularly on Fridays and we are consistently greeted with blank stares and the sentiment that we are disrupting the ongoing at the front desk. I don't think we've ever been greeted proactively with a hello or even a smile, and so if there is ever an alternative option that opens up nearby we would gladly consider given the boarder line rude treatment. read more

I have been going to Piedmont Springs regularly for about a year and a half now and I just love it! After years of working on a computer 40 hours a week I started to get bad neck and back pain. I tried physiotherapy and various massage places but then I found Milena Nieto at Piedmont Springs. She gives me the perfect massage to release tight muscles, knots, and remove the pain. I now see her every second week and supplement it with occasional 1-hour sessions in the hot tub and I rarely ever have pain anymore. For 22 years I lived in Oakland and various friends said Piedmont Springs was the place to go and they were absolutely right. I'm so glad I found her and this spa! read more

Had a Great time!! Would definitely go back for massages, facial treatment, and the sauna. Very peaceful, calm, relaxing. $30 per hour and person. Up to 4 people in the hot tubs!! Staff was very welcoming and kind!! They deserve a raise!! Thank youuu!! read more

Booked the Combination Room online for a Saturday morning spa date. For just $45/hr this was very worth it to unwind in the hot tub and sauna. The facilities are clean, have good amount of space, and are easy to navigate if you haven't been here before. It's very private and quiet, we didn't notice any distracting guest noise. Great place for relaxing! Good quality for the price and easy to book. The staff is friendly and showed us the restrooms, free water and tea, and directed us to the room. They knock at 10 minutes before end of your reservation time. read more

Book yourself 2 hours in the combination sauna and hot tub room. It's really tiny space in the tub- perfect for two people. I enjoyed popping back and forth between the sauna and hot tub. It's a good place to relax, one hour feels short, recommend doing 2 hrs. They do a courtesy knock 10 min left- and are really strict about the time. read more

Having read rave reviews about Piedmont Springs, a couple of friends and I booked post-class massages for some much-needed R&R after a busy semester. We booked our massage appointments about 2 weeks in advance; while there were limited appointments, we were able to coordinate our appointments so that we all finished our massages at the same time. My deep tissue massage was excellent - the masseuse was very accommodating and targeted my tight neck and shoulders. I felt comfortable and relaxed the entire time. The 60 minutes flew by, and I left feeling completely zen. Piedmont Springs has a fantastic location - not too far from Berkeley and on a street that is packed with great restaurants. My friends and I are already discussing when we'll make our next visit. read more

Had a wonderful visit with my partner. We booked the combo room and had a lovely tub soak and sauna :) afterwards we got massages. The massage I had was top tier!! I had the sports massage with Kaitlin and felt very well taken care of. She was personable, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. My knots started melting away. One of the best massages I've ever had. I'll definitely be back! read more

The private hot tub and saunas are nice. The staff was meh. It was overall a nice experience but I have to wonder the cleanliness of this place. I found a wad of gum next to my tub which is disgusting. Are they cleaning their facilities on an ongoing basis? I told a staff member and he said nonchalantly that he would "check it out." I'm hoping that was a one-off situation. Otherwise, the ambiance is nice and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Piedmont Springs - A chewed up piece of gum by the hot tub. - Massage Near Me - Oakland, California

This is my every-so-often splurge -- a $30/hour hot tub .Typically I'm very happy with it but there are a few things I've noticed. Mainly, it's not quiet. Sound carries throughout the rooms, making it a little less peaceful. Also, the last time I was there, there were a LOT of leaves in the hot tub. And the employees were pretty sullen. Still, I'll be back. read more

Rain or shine nice little space. Not sure on the massages but imagine the place might be a bit too loud for my liking especially for the money spent during a massage. $30 per person for hot tubs each hour. Private indoor/outdoor with private shower that should be utilized before and after using the hot tub. Although we missed the memo that said bring your towel back up front when done. The front desk clerk very snappily told us so. Might want to make that far more clear or tell us upon entry what we should do. Rather than bite our heads off about it on the way out. Great place for those lacking a hot tub or friends that have one. They have jets for everyone. Super strong to super weak. Id say max of 3-4 people but two if you're trying to actually relax as they're a bit cozy. Especially maneuvering hanging up your clothes and taking the before and after shower. Two large bathrooms between front door and hot tubs, make sure you go before you hit the hot tub because they're strict on hourly rental and knock too let you know 10-15mts left. Worth it for the hot tub facilities not so much on friendly service. read more

Kaitlyn is an amazing massage therapist. Her deep tissue massage skills are very good. Not too gentle nor too strong. Very attune to her patients needs. She worked out knots in my back and legs. Very kind. I felt well cared for. My back is much better. read more

Just got my first massage ever at Piedmont Springs. I got the Relaxation Massage from Kaitlin. It was so nice! Kaitlin was professional, kind and made me feel safe and cared for. She started the session with a little consultation during which she asked me what I wanted to focus on and also asked about any boundaries I had (areas I didn't want massaged or touched). Her massage made me feel really relaxed, it was just the right amount of pressure and hit area I didn't even realize were tense. When the massage ended, I felt like I was waking up from a really good nap even though I hadn't fallen asleep. The place itself is very cute, clean and comfortable. Will definitely come again! read more

Combo room = privacy, luxury, relaxation! I came on my birthday this year. I have been before but it's been years - since before covid! It felt soo so good to treat myself even to an hour of hot tub and dry sauna. 1 hour is $40/person/hour. It's not the cheapest but it's a luxurious treat-yo-self moment lol. The jacuzzi jets are nice and strong. I could stay there the whole hour lol. There is a shower next to jacuzzi and you can come in your clothes or not and just undress /dress in your private combo room. The outdoor portion had jacuzzi and shower, the indoor portion had the dry sauna room and a small area with a bench and hooks for dressing/undressing/towels. Recommend coming with suits on to maximize your time! They provide towels which is nice. They knock when you have 10 minutes left in the room. read more

I got a deep tissue massage from Milena, and left feeling so much more relaxed than when I walked in. She was amazing! She really worked out some of my really tense muscles and was really good about checking in to make sure the pressure was good. Highly recommend a massage with her! read more

Hot tub + massage (Ezra = amazing) = so great. Such a wonderful birthday celebration that left me feeling relaxed and alive.

Extremely disappointing experience. I had an appointment scheduled on the same day the business was hosting an event. When I called to cancel, the representative was dismissive -- instead of offering to reschedule, she told me they were fully booked and abruptly hung up. The interaction felt disrespectful and unprofessional. Based on how I was treated, I can't help but feel that bias may have played a role. I do not recommend this location read more

Cold shower, a neighboring tub blasting music, and our supposedly clean towels smelling like massage oil. Unhelpful, combative, disrespectful front desk staff. read more

Had a racist moment in 2017, just after a friend had gifted me several gift certificates for my birthday! So, in 2017, I went there and was greeted with What do you want or, as Karen said How can I help you?? A nasty greeting, she only held for the few black and brown people who entered the establishment. She all but kissed the asses of all the white people. This was shocking since I had been to Piedmont Springs many times and had an appointment each time! I will never go back! I can go to the deep south for that kind of old-fashioned in-your-face racial discrimination! I do not recommend this place unless you are white because you never know when she will show her face. Prior to that racist experience, I had always been treated kindly; however, that horrible day that I was celebrating my birthday, my massage therapist informed me that she was leaving and starting her own business! I can not give those certificates away; they remind me to never go back! read more

This used to by go to place for hot tub and sauna, but it has gone down hill. First off, please clean the mold in sauna rooms. You black mold growing at top of wall, in air vents along with various other places. Secondly, staff needs better training. Twice I've been checked into sauna and towels were stink inside the actual sauna! Nasty wet towels. Do you not spray down the sauna after each use? Lastly, my partner got a nasty foot infection from the sauna area. Actually, we strongly believe it was from sauna, since we don't use gym showers or have any exposure to any place that would spread foot fungus. I tried to email them instead of leaving a review, but they don't have a listed email. read more

Had an amazing experience with Deb. I booked a body scrub. She took her time explaining the process and was very patient. I felt so relaxed during and after the service. I would definitely come back and see her. read more

I've been going to Piedmont Springs for massages for a few years now. I've been seeing Milena for maternal massages and she's great at easing my pregnancy back pain. She always pays attention to what's hurting me the most and ensures that gets the focus and attention it needs! I leave feeling much better and looser every time. It's always easy to book massages and everyone at the front desk is quick and friendly. The rooms are always clean and a good temperature! read more

I paid for a deep tissue massage but was disappointed. This was not a deep tissue massage. It was more of a relaxing massage over a cheesecloth-like blanket. I couldn't have asked for deeper pressure because over 50% of the massage was over this cloth. I spent most of the time wondering when the cloth would go away, when the deep tissue work was going to begin, and trying to convince myself to just enjoy it. I did not expect a massage over cloth with minimal deep pressure or I would never have booked here. The two stars are because my massage therapist was a kind person. My feet were never massaged. My legs were barely massaged and it was over the cloth. There was also never enough lotion on my skin when she massaged the actual skin on my back which felt like it made it impossible to press deeply enough into my muscles. I've had many deep tissue massages and never had to specify/request to massage my legs/feet after mentioning that my back is the mainly sore part. The space is a little yucky. The bathrooms weren't clean (TP on the floor) and had a muggy feeling to them. read more
