Well, well, well... An authentic Thai massage in the heart of Dublin. This place was a great find…read morealthough not for the faint hearted or those after a 'pamper me' massage. This place is authentic, a basic bed (yes, it's blanketed/towelled up and the only thing that separates you from the next client is some heavy drapery. There is a few massage options, I went for thai oil massage, having had a thai massage in Thai I had insight so asked for medium pressure and my god, even at medium pressure the masseuses here work you hard. I had the full body massage (€50) and it was immense, every muscle/joint was worked on, she also pinpointed some knots in my back, I did know of them and that's what I started to take up regular massages and boy did she work them... It hurt at the time but man, I felt amazing the following day. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a truly authentic massage, a place where you will really be stretched out and provides more for your overall posture then a feel good pamper. They run offers, with things like bring a friend and get a discount, so instead of €100 for 2 of you, it's €80, etc. So be sure to check out there website.

This month marks my 10 year anniversary of becoming a certified group fitness instructor. As fun of…read morea hobby as this is, it means that I've had muscle knots in my back for the better part of a decade. I've had a number of massages over the years but it's never been a regular treatment for me as they are usually too expensive to maintain. Well after last week I'm singing a different tune... I walked in to Thai Well Centre after work on Wednesday and asked if they could fit me in for an hour long Thai Message. After glancing at the books the therapist said they could fit me in at 7.15pm. I arrived back a while later and was immediately taken to the treatment room. Once I had changed she came back, asked what kind of pressure I prefer, and got straight to work. She started in legs, moved up through the back and worked tirelessly until my body was jello. She was flexible when I told her something didn't feel good (such as walking on my calves haha) and accommodating when I asked her to skip my arms and keep working on my back. This place is no frills so don't expect to lounge in a robe while sipping fruited water; but you can expect to leave all of your tension at the door and keep money in your wallet. For €50 I was able to get one of the best massages of my life (tied with a place in Siem Reap) for a full 60 minutes. Thanks so much Dow and I hope to see you in a couple weeks!

I was in agony when I went to visit her last Christmas and she sorted me out. I went back to her a week later and I was right as rain after. My back started acting up again recently so I called Thai Well to see if I could book Mani. Unfortunately she doesnt work there anymore- she does however work in the Malahide Thai Well branch- so I told them to give me whoever was free. The girl who gave me the massage was lovely. She didnt go deep into the muscles like Mani- which I wanted - but the massage was very good. I would say for anyone looking for a regular deep tissue massage, she would be perfect. You are left to get undressed down your underwear in the masage room and then the masseuse comes in and does their thing. There is soothing music playing and it can be very relaxing. The staff are very welcoming and friendly- that the Thai way- and prices are good.

I have been going to get massages at Vivid Massage (Lina) for a few months now. At the beginning…read moreevery week and now every two weeks. I was very stressed and tense when I first went to see Lina. She has such a nice mannerism about her, she made me feel at ease straight away. Her combination of different massage styles is perfect for me. Lina really tries to understand where my pain comes from and treats my body and mind. Don't get me wrong, some of the treatments were painful because I have many knots to work on, but it's worth it. My shoulder were so tense I almost had them up to my ears! Now they feel relaxed and soft. I can't recommend Lina highly enough.

I've been at Thai Massage Dublin three times now and I'm definitely a much looser person. Looser in…read morethe good sense I hope. The first visit was the best for a few reasons. I had no appointment but they were able to fit me in. I opted for a 30 minute neck and back massage, as I'd been suffering from neck crick for a few weeks and this session really helped. The nice lady immediately found the problem areas without prompting. Also even though it was only for 30 minutes, it felt like longer. And it wasn't too painful. The next day I was definitely improved and the neck crick gone. An unexpected highlight was the hot towel. It was a wonderful touch. I've been back twice since for an hour massage each time to work on other knots in my back, however I don't think these were as good my first visit. I had the same lady for these two visits, who I don't think had the same level of experience as the first masseuse I got. There was a lot of back walking, which I think is a bit of a gimmick if I'm honest. And some of the regular hand massaging was a bit too painful at times, but I'm hoping this is the good pain! The interior is very well done, ideal for relaxation with soothing music and comfortable massage tables. Another highlight is they have electric blankets on their tables, so you won't get too cold. One useful thing to know is Tuesday is Ladies Day and Wednesday is Men's Day, when an hour massage is 40 EUR instead of 50 EUR for each day respectively. I'm still in two minds about going back again. It seems who you get here is random, but I'm not sure I could take more back walking. Let's wait and see.

The rooms are lovely, clean and warm, with heated tables and calm music and the massage therapists are friendly and answered all the questions I had. There was water and fruit on offer and a comfy couch to wait when I arrived early. They have a ladies day on Tuesday and gents on Wednesday where you can avail of a discount and they also offer a reduced rate if you book with your partner, however their rates are very good even at full price. The only minus I found was that you could hear what was happening in the reception area while in the massage room as it's a small place, but that was only a very, very minor downside and in my opinion not worthy a minus in the stars. I can't wait to go back frankly, just wish I could afford it more often!

There was no music because apparently their radio was broken. Their massage rooms are also so close to each other, and around three girls found it convenient to stand outside the room I was in, and chat for at least 15 minutes. Given that when I book a massage, I am usually super looking forward to it, this was a disappointment.

Well Viktoria couldn't have been nicer or more professional, and it's clear that she has been blessed by the Patron Saint of Hands. She literally got to every possible muscle in my back, even somehow squeezing in behind the shoulder blades! Whilst I came in tense and achey, I left with this random urge to zumba dance right there and then on the street!.. But in all seriousness, I'd definitely recommend this place if all the masseurs are as good as her. The clinique must have also gotten a make-over since the first review below (Nora M.) because I was welcomed into a lovely, clean and peaceful waiting room (albeit very small), and then on into an equally clean and calming massage room. Oh and they're open till 9.30pm, which is great for people wanting to pop in for an appointment after work.

From making the booking to leaving the salon the whole experience was very easy and enjoyable. Their bookings are done online through their website, although I think you can book by phone also. So I made my booking after a long day at work and was lucky to get the last appointment for the next day. There is ample street parking right beside the building and when I arrived I was greeted by Anita my therapist. The room was lovely and warm and I quickly became relaxed and ready for my massage. The therapist was very attentive and when she realised I wasnt too warm (wasnt feeling the best at the time and was feeling cooler than normal) she quickly got a beautiful fleecy blanket and wrapped me in it and continued the massage. She actually went over the hour by about 10 mins and after finishing left me to get dressed and offered me some nice bottled water. Will definately be back again!
