Who the hell owns this company?! Our time slot for the thermal pools was 6:30pm, people ahead of us were already in line going on 45 minutes past their scheduled time. Christophe and the other young lady on the register to the left of him deserve huge raises as they remained professional, polite, calm and sympathetic to all who's reservations either could not be found or many other issues that kept coming up. Won't be visiting this space again any time soon. read more

Overall I had an amazing day at Strom! The Good: I was on vacation so decided to splurge with a facial and a massage. The facial was great and super relaxing. I also tried their head to fingertips massage. It was nice, but maybe not something I would do again. It just felt a little slow and not the most relaxing experience. I did really love the grounds. We got lucky that it was a beautiful fall day and we could spend the whole time comfortably outside. We floated around from the hot pools, to the cold plunge, to the Yurt, to their couches by the water. Overall that was truly lovely. The restaurant was an experience. I happened to ask at check-in if we needed a reservation and quickly realized we did. Luckily they were able to fit us in for a late lunch. The restaurant was very busy, so the reservations made more sense. The Nordic menu definitely had some interesting options. The poached pear was probably the prettiest dish I've ever eaten, but it was undercooked, so almost impossible to eat since they didn't give us a knife. Service was very slow and we did not have the opportunity to ask for a knife since our server wasn't around. The Bad: I've never been to a day spa where they didn't give you spa sandals to wear throughout your stay. We were surprised by that. I had to wear my flats all day and my friend had to wear her sneakers. I was also surprised that access to the thermal pools was not included with your treatment purchase. I also wish they provided more amenities in the locker room like most spas do (razors, hair products, eetc). Overall, is this place perfect, no? Did I still thoroughly enjoy it and have an amazing day utilizing the outdoor facilities? Yes! read more

Full day spa experience (without any services). There's plenty to do throughout the day with many outdoor pools and various types of saunas and other spots to lounge. The food is also delicious. Side note: We forgot something at the spa and they found it 3 months later! I worked with the corporate office to connect with our specific location to find the item. I thought it was a forgone conclusion that it was lost but they managed to find it! So thankful and looking forward to returning. read more

This was my first Nordic spa experience and after living in Asia and experiencing the likes of Japanese onsen and Korean jjimjilbang, I was not that impressed with my stay here but it was still a good experience. The outdoor spa was a lovely way to relax after doing a bit of touring around Montreal. There are two hot baths, two cold plunges, two steam rooms (each with a different style), and resting areas including an infra-red room. Because it is outdoors and co-ed, bathing suits are required. You must bring your own sandals and toiletries aside from the soap/shampoo in the showers. The locker rooms felt aged compared to the baths, but you aren't spending that much time in there anyways. GET THERE EARLY. Luckily, I entered right as they opened and was able to enjoy the baths and overall experience - even taking a small nap in the infra-red room. However, by 11:00 there were SO many people and most not abiding by the 'keep quiet' policies that it felt like it had turned into a cruise ship pool party. This was when I decided to leave. Total: $100 for day access. Steep for Canadians but the USD I have helps leverage that just a bit. Overall, I wouldn't say I'd go again but I did have a nice time for the first few hours before it got extremely busy and chaotic. read more

This used to be my favourite spa. Lately as the prices have risen the service and quality has declined. The restaurant was never my favourite but it has an extremely limited and uninspired menu. Tasteless and boring dishes for a very high price. The spa it's is aging, many parts of the hot tubs are broken and dirty. The reception is by far the worst. Slow, inefficient, and make many mistakes and charge for things I did not agree to. read more

S'il vous plaît, lisez ce review jusqu'à la fin - ça pourrait vous faire économiser du temps, de l'énergie et de l'argent. Je suis allée au Strøm Spa de l'Île-des-Sœurs avec mon conjoint pour une journée de détente en couple, après une longue période sans vacances. Nous voulions simplement relaxer. Ce qui devait être une expérience agréable est devenu une journée stressante, désorganisée et marquée par un manque flagrant de respect. À notre arrivée à 16h10, nous avions un rabais confirmé par téléphone : 25 % sur l'expérience thermale et 15 % sur le massage. À la réception, on nous dit qu'on n'a droit qu'à 15 %... Après plus de 10 minutes de discussion, une autre employée finit par admettre que c'était leur erreur. Aucune excuse, aucune empathie. Ensuite, nous avons attendu longtemps pour une serviette de bonne taille, et malgré le fait que c'était notre première visite, personne ne nous a expliqué où aller. Nous avons été laissés à nous débrouiller seuls. Le pire est survenu à la tente de massage. La porte semblait bloquée et l'intérieur n'était pas visible. Nous ne savions pas si c'était une salle d'attente ou une salle déjà utilisée. Aucune signalisation. Quand nous avons finalement essayé d'entrer, une massothérapeute est sortie brusquement, avec agressivité et mépris, en lançant : " Rentrez, vous voyez pas ? Vous êtes en retard. " Sans bonjour, sans regard, avec une énergie négative qui a tout gâché. Face à ce comportement, j'ai sorti mon téléphone pour filmer, car personne ne m'aurait crue sans preuve. Là, j'ai subi une agression verbale : " Ferme ta gueule ", m'a dit l'une d'elles. C'était choquant, humiliant, et inacceptable. Quand j'ai signalé la situation à la réception, leur réponse : " Ce sont des humains aussi. " Aucune excuse. Rien. Après insistance, on nous a finalement proposé un autre rendez-vous avec deux nouvelles massothérapeutes -- qui, elles, ont été professionnelles, douces et respectueuses. Heureusement. Mais le mal était fait. J'ai reçu plus tard un appel du Strøm Spa me demandant de supprimer mon avis Google. J'ai simplement demandé des excuses. Leur réponse : " Je n'ai pas de raison de m'excuser. " Ils ont aussi reconnu qu'il n'y a pas de pancarte pour indiquer que la pièce était une salle d'attente -- ce qui confirme le manque de professionnalisme. Nous avons des preuves vidéo de tout ce qui s'est passé et nous allons les fournir aux autorités nécessaires. Ce spa donne l'image d'un établissement haut de gamme, mais le service et le respect des clients sont loin d'être à la hauteur. Je déconseille fortement, surtout si vous cherchez la paix et un vrai moment de bien-être. read more

This is for the Nun Island location which I've been twice, once in winter and once in summer. The first time was amazing, the second time was meh... let's start with its beautiful. The lake, resting quietly, the tranquility... awesome. The pools... some are cleaner than others. One was absolutely gross. Now the first time I went, it was spotless (again, winter so given that most of it was outdoors I'm guessing less people). Summer... very different. I did the baths and ate at the restaurant. But I did relax. read more

For my boyfriend's and my visit to Montréal, we wanted to try the Nordic spa experience. So we went to Strøm, on Ile-des-Sœurs in the middle of the St. Lawrence River. We got a package with a massage, a facial, lunch (an appetizer or dessert, an entree, and a beverage), an item from the shop, and unlimited access to the facilities. While the website was clear about us having to wear bathing suits (and therefore we brought our own), they were not clear about not providing sandals that you have to wear. So the item from the shop we got was a pair of sandals each. I didn't mind too much, as I wouldn't be able to get any of the other items home on the plane. Another problem is that when we booked our reservations, they were able to schedule the massages, but not the facials, and somehow we never scheduled those before our trip, so we had to spend several hours at the spa between our massage and facial. That's okay. Part of that time we spent in the restaurant. While the menu is limited, they do have vegan options. We split a veganized carrot salad that was really delicious, we each got the mushroom smørrebrød as our entree, and then we shared a lovely chocolate mousse for dessert. (It's a good thing we like mushrooms; we ate a lot of them on our visit to Montréal.) The massage and facial weren't the best I've had, but it's always nice to have work done. And because it was a cool, clear Friday, the spa wasn't too crowded. I really loved the thermal bath and the warm rooms for resting. I'm looking for a Nordic spa experience closer to home, but I don't know if they exist. I think if the spa can work out a few small kinks, I would bump up my rating. I'd consider going again. read more

Not my favorite Nordic Spa spot in Quebec but I do get a corporate discount here. It's a beautiful place by the lake but limited space area. When there are people, it's a lot. Spa area should be relaxing but with that many people seems a party place. We asked for a massage, so our masseuse were average. Medium pressure was asked but it was the fragile kind I asked them to work a certain area but never listened to me, she just went her own way like a robot. What tops this place is the excellent service and food at the bistro. From my drink, to main dish to the desert, every single item was heavenly in taste. The front desk service is always messed up, there always some kind mistake happens. We reserved for the restaurant there but restaurant couldn't find our reservation. Then they make mistakes in the charges. But In the end, I get the discount so I try to disregard their service. read more

Ok, so this is what happened and they know. On July 10, 2025 I called to make a reservation. I was quoted $119 for a Swedish massage and $64 for the thermal experience. Then I received an email saying $164 tax in for just the swedish. When I called to ask why, they said it was still $119 for the swedish and the email was a mistake but because it was "high season" it is $94 for the thermal. I told them they are tricking me. I lodged two complaints. No one took my side. The managers claimed to have listened to the recordings which I recommended to them to do. They said the customer service reps clearly quoted the high season prices. I was never told anything about high or low season so they are indirectly calling me a liar. I canceled everything. Never going to attempt making a reservation again. Very trickster. read more

I've been to many spas but this one just wasn't it. The set up is weird and the staff is beyond annoying. They walk around staring at you as if they are the CIA... it's a spa I get it please keep it down but harassing people or staring at them is a bit weird. I called to ask if there was not a lot of people but to my surprise they were at about half capacity and that's just not my style at all at all. I would appreciate honesty when I call in and not just a sale so they can make money. The showers in the locker room weren't very clean and the shower head I got was busted. The dock outside has no bar so someone can easily fall off and won't be able to get back on. I found that the bath robes and towels were such poor quality and Mis matched it wasn't nice at all. It did the trick but i would not be back to this location. read more

En avril, j'ai dû me rendre au Strøm spa nordique / Montréal (Île-des-Sœurs) pour acheter une carte-cadeau et régler des produits. Une erreur s'est glissée dans la facture, due à un écart entre le prix indiqué sur l'étiquette d'un produit et le montant facturé par le système. La caissière a corrigé le montant directement sur ma carte-cadeau, mais sans rectifier cette erreur dans le système. Aujourd'hui, lors de ma visite au Strøm spa nordique / Montréal (Île-des-Sœurs), j'ai constaté que le montant inscrit dans leur système ne correspond toujours pas à la correction faite sur ma carte-cadeau. Lorsque j'ai réalisé que l'erreur n'avait pas été corrigée dans leur système, j'ai trouvé cette pratique malhonnête et peu professionnelle. En déposant une plainte auprès du service à la clientèle, on m'a répondu qu'ils étaient désolés, mais qu'ils ne pouvaient rien faire, même si je possède encore la carte-cadeau sur laquelle la correction a été effectuée. Je tiens à partager cette expérience sur plusieurs plateformes pour alerter les clients du Strøm spa nordique / Montréal (Île-des-Sœurs). Il est essentiel de vérifier attentivement les factures et de les comparer aux montants indiqués sur les produits. Assurez-vous que toutes les erreurs sont corrigées dans le système pour éviter de vous retrouver dans une telle situation. Ce qui est encore plus préoccupant, c'est l'attitude désinvolte du service à la clientèle du Strøm spa nordique / Montréal (Île-des-Sœurs) face à cette situation. Par conséquent, je publierai cette réclamation sur différentes pages pour dénoncer les pratiques douteuses du Strøm spa nordique / Montréal (Île-des-Sœurs), le manque de professionnalisme de leurs employés, et l'insouciance de leur service client. Je souhaite inviter tous les clients à rester vigilants et à être sur leurs gardes. --- In April, I had to go to Strøm Nordic Spa / Montreal (Nuns' Island) to buy a gift card and pay for products. An error appeared on the bill due to a discrepancy between the price indicated on the product label and the amount charged by the system. The cashier corrected the amount directly on my gift card but without correcting this error in the system. Today, during my visit to Strøm Nordic Spa / Montreal (Nuns' Island), I noticed that the amount entered in their system still does not match the correction made on my gift card. When I realized that the error had not been corrected in their system, I found this practice dishonest and unprofessional. When I filed a complaint with customer service, I was told they were sorry, but there was nothing they could do, even though I still have the gift card on which the correction was made. I want to share this experience on multiple platforms to alert customers of Strøm Spa Nordique / Montréal (Nuns' Island). It is essential to carefully check and compare the invoices to the amounts indicated on the products. Make sure that all errors are corrected in the system to avoid finding yourself in such a situation. What is even more concerning is the casual attitude of Strøm Spa customer service in this situation. Therefore, I will post this complaint on different pages to denounce the questionable practices of Strøm Spa Nordique / Montréal (Nuns' Island), the lack of professionalism of their employees, and the carelessness of their customer service. I would like to invite all customers to remain vigilant in this branch. I'm waiting to use up my gift card so I don't visit this spa again. read more

Ridiculously overpriced day spa becomes public make out spot after dusk. Located a far drive from the main city of Montreal, on Nun's Island, was looking forward to what was advertised as an exclusive, high end Saturday evening escape from the cold and bustle of the city. First, the website tells nothing about what to bring or wear. Bummer when finding out that without pool shoes, you are not only walking on inside surfaces where dirty feet have been, & also outside on the pathways that sprinkled with chemical de-icing agent. Be sure to bring swimsuit as what they sell on site is ridiculously overpriced. Toiletries like lotion, shower caps, hair ties etc. aren't available; BYO niceties. Second, the check in was a lengthy wait. The entry area was packed with people waiting to check in & process took a very long time; some people arrived without reservations had to go through the lengthy explanation process of all of the treatments offered. Over 1/2 hr to check in & too crowded to be safely Covid distanced. Given at check-in: bathrobe, a towel, and a silicone wristband with a wee locker key for small, shabby locks; sad lockers looked like public high school gymnasium, arranged with illogical process of assigning lockers sequentially; you'll be next to other women who just checked in, all of us wearing our flimsy masks and attempting to disrobe. There are over 30 lockers jammed into each section of the women's locker room, easily making for over 120 lockers. Did not feel COVID safe to me. Why no air purifiers?! Third, was told to arrive 30 minutes before my massage. Instinctually, this felt wrong as have always arrived at least an hour or 90 minutes prior to any treatment at other spas that have thermal waters, in order to enjoy the spa experience. The larger, hottest (but not hot enough, as it felt more like a very warm bath) pool, has a stone formation in the middle with therapeutic water jets, was the most popular. I took a quick dip in the water surrounded by, mostly, young-ish couples and a couple of sets of friends, with one or two solo attendees like myself enjoying the sunset and the wind blowing snow off the trees in a fine icy mist. Massage experience was unimpressive. Waiting area was shabby. Pile of notebooks with paperwork and golf pencils. Typical intake form asks surgeries & injuries but says nothing about data security. My massage technician was on time, polite, led me to a tiny room at the end of the hall. Again, how is this worth the ridiculous price of $159 for 90 min (plus the waters are EXTRA $74!) for a tiny room without an air purifier? The massage was pleasant enough but not more of just a light touch. Don't waste your money on the essential oils as the only time they use is at the very end when they waive it over your nose to inhale. After, she brought me a glass of water & I put my wet bathing suit back on leaving with my wet towel. Normally at this point I would go and get all cleaned up and head out, but as I had not gotten to experience any of the other amenities in the thermal pools for which I paid so dearly, I was determined to do so. This is where things get kind of freaky. Apparently when the sun goes down the "date" scene in the facilities goes way up. In the largest of the hot pools, the one that has the stone sculptures in the middle, and there was a couple in the middle of the stone sculptures, where the massage jets are, who were either having sex or very close to it. It was uncomfortable; the pool was so crowded that it was like we were all trapped at some sort of show. When they finally disentangled themselves, another couple went into the same center formation and a different romantic show took place. I decided to just close my eyes & not worry about it until I started thinking about the bodily fluids... yuck. Made my way to the dry sauna and while there were couples there, they were much more PG with heads on laps (face up lol). There is another water pool that is on the opposite side from the bigger one; thought this one might be a little more relaxing. Water temp not even hot as the other pool - once again there was some entanglement going on under the waterfall. It's just unsanitary haha! But that pool wasn't warm enough so... back to the hot sauna. My lackluster experience turned worse when, upon checking out, realized that Uber, ordered when I started dressing, had actually not still found a driver. I ended up chatting with a couple also trying to get a app ride. Finally Uber engaged & I gave us a ride back into the city. Our driver said many drivers are not willing to go all the way out to Nun Island. So... be ready for a hella wait for a rideshare. The couple told me they had taken the metro to the bus because it looked like it was close, but the bus stop was a long walk from the entrance on snowy roads with no sidewalk. Did not try the restaurant. TL/dr: Overpriced, overvalued for a mediocre voyeur spa experience. read more

If I could rate this a 0.1, I would. I was constantly approached by a woman telling me to whisper, which is completely respectable. EXCEPT I was not even talking because when she would approach me, she would speak to me in only French and I don't even speak French so this confirmed it wasn't me (I only knew what she was saying because my boyfriend was translating it to me.) This woman insinuated that I was speaking so loud she could hear me across the way and when I told her it wasn't me she claimed I had a piercing voice (my voice is deeper for a woman). I left immediately. Horrible service. Horrible experience. I would send my worst enemy here. Water was nice. Sauna was a little stinky. read more

I really wanted to like this place because who doesn't love the spa and getting to relax? Unfortunately with so many other options this place fell flat for me. Located on nuns island I got to say parking was way easier then place in the old port or down town. As my insurance covers a certain amount for massages I figured it was time to treat myself and with the whole city in missing electricity I researched and saw that Storm had power and were open. I made reservations and off I went. I was surprised to learn that booking a massage did not grant you access to the water circuit. So already I started seeing red flags. Once I got there and checked in I was given a robe and towels but the robe was stained or dirty with yellow and orange spills all over it. The massage portion was great they room the time to ask what areas I wanted worked on and a great intake process. After paying for access to the hour and cold tubs I spent about two hours walking around and using the different spots. Again nothing horrible but compared to other spots it just wasn't cutting it. There was derby settlements on the floor of one of the hot baths and one of the saunas doors would not stay closed. With a price I can't quite justify and services that were below bar I don't see myself returning. read more

Highlight of my weekend Montreal trip. That peppermint sauna fixed all my life problems, even the ones I didn't know I had. ... So good! Loved the wide variety of spa treatments & the delish food + cocktails. -1 for a lack of basic toiletry products in the locker rooms as the day rolled on. read more

I went to Strøm spa for the first time during the pandemic. Located on Nun's Island, the spa is situated next to a soccer field and won't catch your eye at first. The building is very clean and presentable. The counter was well shielded. I booked a classic 60 massage and thermal experience for 180$. For some experiences you receive flavoured spring water. Robes and locker keys are included. You're expected to show up to the spa, 20 mins before your appointment. (Book in the afternoons to enjoy the thermal experience in the morning). I found the directions to the locker room weren't clear (downstairs) as there was no clear signs. The spa restricted access to the locker rooms to 8 people at once. A staff member will guide you. Lockers are half sized. I started with my massage first, which was very good. The massage area is located upstairs. There were at least 5 people also waiting for their massage in the morning when I was waiting for mine. They have a bistro on site for a light brunch. The items start at 16$, made fresh. I ordered the soup of the day which was potato bases and an Asian Buddha bowl. Both were good but it adds up quickly with a glass of wine. The menu changes every week. Choose to sit outside next to the eucalyptus bath, it's shaded and nice. The actual facilities for the thermal experience is quite nice. The steam room was closed. The down side: if I made a squeak, I got hunted down by the noise police/staff. I get it's a strict quiet zone and I respected the rules but having staff constantly stop you ruins your spa experience and I wasn't even loud. There were way too many people on site. Everyone was wearing masks but I didn't feel comfortable. They had a maximum person limit for each bath. However, I don't think it helps. It was cool exploring this spa for the first time but I don't think it was anything exceptional. I prefer Sky Spa for half the price and a better experience. read more

Generally had a good time, we made reservations for a group of 6. Check in was smooth, you should make appointments for any treatments you want before arriving. (Treatments that are not included in the general admission, like facials, massages, mani/pedis, etc.) When we got in, there was only 2 massage facial appointments left for the entire day. In terms of pool options, theres only 2 hot pools and 2 cold pools. It gets packed pretty quick, especially on weekends so go early or go late. In the afternoon it gets super packed. Also, BRING YOUR OWN SLIPPERS. I wish they PSA'd this somewhere on their website. Most spa's I've been to - slippers were offered for free. But it's $25/pair here... Saunas are super small, but again - because it gets super packed you'll have to wait for people to come out within close range. Their restaurant surprisingly had a wide range of vegan friendly options. Really enjoyed the carrot salad, it's a must get! Mushroom sandwich with soup of the day was amazing. The service however though - was the best. Our server was so sweet and personable. If you sit in the 'outdoor' seating area of the restaurant though, be warned - the heating lamps are strong. You'll almost feel like your forehead is burnt after sitting there for a while. The locker and lockeroom is also small in general, once it gets packed, its almost impossible to get dressed without butting heads with someone in your quarter. Check out for some reasons was super slow, took forever! Theres only 3 counters, 2 is to check in and 1 for check out. For a group of 6 girls, they had to check out each wrist band separately even though we were all paying together. I think I would come back only in the off season so we can enjoy the facility with less people. read more

Very solid spa. Cold plunges were actually cold. Hot pools were really nice. And they had a great relaxation room where I actually managed to take a little nap. I would go back. read more

I visited this spa twice over the year, before and during the pandemic. Both times I went for a massage only and with a friend. My initial experience was terrible and never wanted to go back but I decided it was time to reexperience this spa. My 1st spa was mediocre honestly. Although the massage therapist was great, i felt there was nothing special and my friend felt the same. The second time I had an amazing massage with Vanessa. I was blown away she targeted all my injured muscles and did a fantastic job. This is a fairly smaller spa so physical distancing was difficult. Masks were obligatory on the premises and during the massage. They removed all complimentary flavored water/tea. The prices are quite steep for the spa and bistro. However the views are great. This is not my first choice and won't be either because there just isn't much to offer to the clients at their rates. read more

I like the spa and have never had a problem with staff or customer service, excellent facility, but am giving only 3 stars because I disagree with their no-changes, no-reimbursement policy for online reservations. They drive clients to book online for the thermal experience... but any serious professional spa or services business should allow for _some_ changes within a reasonable time limit, especially since they charge your credit card a non-refundable $23 fee to book, that is applied to your purchase once you arrive in person. Reservations aren't always necessary but are advised as it can get crowded at times, and I consider making a reservation a courtesy to any service business so that they can plan for staffing, etc... and I'm treating a friend, so a reservation helps smooth the check-in process. I read the policy, and based on the weather forecast of a few days ago, I took the risk. The forecast changed to thunderstorms and so we definitely did not go. I called Strom to see if their policy was firm, which it is. I understand. I accept this. I have lost $23. They advised me that in the case of thunderstorms, we were still welcome at the reserved time, but that clients would be asked to come indoors for safety. Or I could arrange to give my reservation to someone else who would go instead of me (to an outdoor spa in a thunderstorm to stay inside). Strom, you need a software upgrade. It should be possible to change a reservation online, within a reasonable cancellation period. This is not 2010. It's ridiculous to force clients to pay $23 to buy an outdoor experience dependent on weather with a no-cancellation no reimbursement policy. Only a 3-star spa would have that policy. Caveat emptor. read more

A nice day getaway. In my case, a good post car accident retreat! There was no time limit to use the baths with my "Alizé" package so I felt the price was worth it (I stayed from 10h00-17h30). A negative point: I arrived on site at 9h50 knowing the baths opened at 10h00 so that I could slowly get ready and try to spend the most time possible at the spa. I tried to open the front door multiple times but after trying so hard I gave up and assumed it was locked. I called the front desk and some people inside were pointing to me but none of the staff stepped away to help. It wasn't until an older women came to the door and failed to open it that the staff came to our aid. I didn't let this ageist action ruin my day and it didn't! The spa is about letting go so that was my first "practice" of the day ;) Great therapeutic staff: I had a massage in the morning and a body scrub/hair treatment in the afternoon. The massage therapist was so attentive and I could tell he was paying attention to the stresses in my body. I'd HIGHLY recommend having your massage in the outdoor tent. (His name was Leonard or Laurent; his handwriting was messy) The esthetician was also very attentive and personable. (Her name was Jennifer) *I will triple check their names but I'd recommend them to friends and family* Calm general vibes: It was not crowed on the Sunday that I went. There were two cold and two hot baths. There was a large eucalyptus steam room and two traditional saunas. There was lots of outdoor seating and one indoor reclining chair room. Overall/General Comments: I'd recommend it and go again. It's a lovely spot by the water, surrounded by trees and not far from downtown. I hope to check out the other Strøm locations in the future! I've been Scandinave Spa and Bota Bota in the old port but they were smaller than this Strøm location. They weren't so strict about the quiet rule so it's a place where you could chat quietly with a friend but not be too annoyed with people talking all of the time. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon and it was much busier than expected. They have 2 hot baths and 2 cold pools. Only 2 small saunas unfortunately. I really wanted to try the steam bath but it was closed for some reason. There were also a few relaxation areas but full with people sleeping. The hot baths were very nice. I didn't dare step foot in the cold ones, I'm not that brave and it was freezing out so no thank you. The saunas were nice but full of people since they were both fairly small. We spent about 2 hours here and I couldn't imagine spending any more time here. I thought this place would be bigger so I can't imagine how busy and full it gets on the weekends. Overall the place was cute and very clean. I liked the amenities in the changing rooms especially that they provide bags for your wet clothes and lotion is a definite plus! read more

Quelle journée fantastique au Strom. J'ai eu de la chance d'avoir un magnifique soleil en plein mois de mars et quelques degrés au dessus de 0c. Le matin le site bénéficie directement du soleil et la vue y est magnifique. De nombreux bains, saunas, bain de vapeur. Nous avons alterné les lieux et prix un petit repos entre chaque. Coup de cœur pour les grandes chaises suspendues en rotin. Vraiment très relaxant. Nous avons également tenté un massage qui était réalisé en extérieur dans des bâtisses en bois. Le plancher craquait un peu et je ne pense pas que ce type de setup soit idéal pour les thérapeutes car assez exigües, mais j'ai apprécié le soin suédois. Nous avons également testé le restaurant. Très bonne nourriture, santé et bien présentée, tout en étant originale et délicieuse. Globalement tout le personnel a été très professionnel et accueillant. Le seul bémol est la propreté des vestiaires en fin de journée. Probablement pas évident de tout garder propre en plein hiver alors que les clients entrent avec des bottes. read more

I would rather give no star for this place, the roaming stuffs kept watching you, these made me feel extremely uncomfortable, we were treated as prisoners not customers.

Pros: No Cons: -rude stuffs -bad equipment -expensive read more

The location at Nun's Island and lake landscape is amazing. The space is kind of small though. Staff-wise, the receptionists are very friendly and accommodating; the masseuses know what they are doing, super professional and I don't have any complaints; the manager, cold and condescending, even though she wasn't even that much older than me, she was talking to me like I was a little kid. They gave me an XXXL robe by mistake, but I wasn't mad because it was really flowy and comfy, the downside was that I would drag the waistband. I got a romantic package for two, Lempia, as a birthday present to my girlfriend which included: 90min couple massage, thermal/water experience, two smoothies and two water bottles. First of all, the staff kept referring to my girlfriend as my "friend", which was super weird. Second of all, I've been to Bota-Bota and SkySpa (Dix-30) so I know there are rules in place, but in this place it feels like you are actually being surveilled. In SkySpa, for example, staff would approach you if you were being too loud, which is understandable. But Strom was actually next-level, it was literally all the staff circulating all over the place with an earpiece and talking/observing the whole time, it kind of looked like the president's security team and it was honestly too much. The massage was great all-around and the hammocks are lovely and comfy. The water experience, they don't have as many pools as Bota-Bota does, I found myself in a Goldie Locks type of situation, where two pools were too cold and the other two were too hot! I was surprised that there were that few! The smoothies were decent, I didn't try the rest of their food, but it looked good. Also, I was weirded out by the fact that they include the water bottles as part of the package, because I saw receptionists giving them to everyone going in. I don't know if they all had packages that included water or if they just put that in the offer to make it sound like they are offering you more stuff? I liked my Bota-Bota experience way way way more. My girlfriend enjoyed her birthday despite the issues, but not due thanks to the way they run things there. read more

Strøm Spa Nordique - Water bottle. - Day Spas Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I have a New Year's Day ritual of going to spas and doing the water circuit. I like being in hot thermal baths ideally in nature. It's just not the same experience dipping in and out of hot saunas, thermal baths and ice-cold baths inside a downtown spa, indoors. Doing it outside somehow makes the experience feel more authentic, like the way the Finns, Norwegians and Swedes do it where they actually roll around in snowbanks as well. I came to Strøm today for the first time. It's located on Nun's Island right beside the pond in the back part of the island and indeed you feel like you're out of the city and not a mere 15 minute bus ride away from downtown Montreal. I came in using the Bus (#12 from Verdun) and was here in 30 minutes flat. Even in the middle of winter, it's a beautiful location so I can only imagine how lovely it must be in the summertime. It's too bad there isn't a pedestrianized bridge between Verdun's riverside and Nun's island because if that were the case, I could probably walk over in 5 minutes flat. I've been to other outdoor Nordic spas, like Le Spa des Chutes de Bolton, which has a real river and waterfall for dipping into and I have to echo other posters sentiments here. While the location is great, the facilities are clean, the design in somewhat off. Normally when you do the water circuit, you start off with getting your body very hot in the sauna or thermal bath pools then a 5 second dip in freezing water to get the heart pumping and then you chill in the relaxation area so it's ideal to have these 3 spots located VERY close to each other, especially when you walk out of freezing water. Not so here, there is a bit of walk between spots. Also, I think practically all of Montreal had the same idea as I did and showed up today. There was a waiting list to get in if you hadn't made reservations. Thankfully the wait wasn't too long but this is something they should definitely mention on their website. It was crowded, not uncomfortably so because a crowded spa defeats its purpose, doesn't it? When I come again, I'm definitely coming at a less busy time. Bring your flip flops and your bathrobe to save some $$. The lockers were somewhat small and the changing rooms can get crowded especially with everyone's winter boots taking up space. But the showers were clean and the relaxation rooms are definitely a great place to unwind with a glass of wine or rose-petal latte afterwards. Food here is pretty good. I had the French onion soup and it hit the spot. Overall, the place is absolutely worth a visit. read more

Came here with some of my girlfriends for my bday and was disappointed. As soon as we got into baths we were immediately shushed by a man that looked like a Armed guard. He stood there watching our every move in the baths to make sure we did not speak.....it was very intimidating and the antithesis of relaxtion. I am a 42 year old women and I don't think that being pursued by a employee to be silent is the right approach to relaxation. My friend finally had to tell one of the employees that going around and harassing people to stay silent was working for her. I think you need to do better Strøm Spa!! read more

If I could create a storyboard for one of the MasterCard Priceless commercials it would go something like this: - Car service to STRØM Spa: $30 - Bathing suit since you forgot yours: $80 - Outdoor Thermal Experience in negative 12 degrees Celsius weather: $38 and very cold! - 60-minute Signature STRØM Massage: $94 - Herbal Chai Tea to warm you up: $3 - Best almond cake which made the entire experience worth it: $5 (in our eyes $250) You and one of your best friends having an unforgettable and well deserved time in Montreal: PRICELESS! read more

Haha, it's a NO NO for me. Not much impressed with the customer service for the price you pay. Plus they ripped us a good 15 minutes from our massage with waiting in the lobby to check in, form filling and talking with the masseuses. I get a lot of massages but these are never included in the total massage time. plus the masseuse burnt me twice with the hot stones Kinda frustrated that I paid full price, not coming back again, there are lots of places which I will gladly spend my money. read more

After 3 days of traipsing around Montreal, mostly on foot in 100F temperatures, I was dying for a pool, beach, or somewhere else that I could cool off. Being a fan of "the thermal experience" and not being a fan of spending a fortune or getting cruised by creepers, Strom seemed like the perfect solution. Tucked away on Nun's Island, it feels isolated from the hubbub of downtown Montreal without being too far away (it's a 15 minute bus ride from the Lasalle Metro + a 10 minute walk). I opted for the thermal experience by itself. $44 felt like too much, especially when a bathrobe is $10 extra (really who the hell lugs a bathrobe from home out to the spa?), but I was on vacation so I went for it anyway. Right away my relaxing experience was not that relaxing. As I entered I smiled at the front desk staff and said "Hello, how are you?" In return I received a quizzical look and a "What?" so I repeated myself. She did likewise. "I said: Hello, how are you?" finally got the point across but all I got was "Oh, ok!" in return. After visiting numerous shops, restaurants, and cafes over the previous 3 days, this was the first time I had any trouble communicating with a French Canadian. Is it a small detail? Yes. Are small details important, especially at a spa? YES. After that it was much more straightforward and I took my wristband/keyring down to the change room. As change rooms go it was pretty small and sparsely furnished. No razors/cream available, no hair product, and no bathing suit spinner (serious oversight -_-). Still, it was clean with plenty of showers and secure lockers. The entire facility was sparkling clean and free of any funk or funny smells which is pretty important for somewhere you're hanging out in bare feet and a swimsuit. To my dismay, the thermal experience was seriously lacking. They boast 2 hot tubs - one is barely bathwater temperature and the other isn't much warmer. I honestly felt like I could jump straight in with no discomfort. The jets in both were weak. Both saunas were ok - clean, smelled great (one was 'essential oils' the other 'finnish fir'), and working timers! However they were on the small side. When I was there it wasn't crowded, but any more people and it would have been uncomfortable. In a mixed gender sauna it's nice to have some room to spread out; there wasn't much room to do so. The cold plunge pools were a welcome addition on a hot day, but I'm a bit dumbfounded as to why the have two. Both are very small (not that you would want to spend a ton of time in them). One is warmer than the other (still decently cold) while the colder one has a waterfall. After taking a few trips through the cycle, I wanted to check out the cafe/bistro. I walked inside and had a look about the menu. It may have been the fact that it was partly in French, but I found the menu scrawled all over the walls a bit hard to decipher. Nothing was truly appealing but after a few minutes standing at the counter watching employees walk around me, I decided to experiment. I stood there for a few more minutes looking over the menu thinking something might catch my eye. Ultimately I didn't want to spend $15 for a salad or sandwich and not a single employee greeted me or asked if they could help so I walked away. I guess because I don't look like a rich old guy my money is not important. Overall it's not terrible. Everything was clean and well maintained, but as a destination for the thermal experience only? Pass. read more

Gorgeous setting! The thermal jacuzzis are surrounded by stone and nature with a beautiful waterfall. I was mesmerized by the beauty here, it's all very well done. I don't really get why people go here to socialize ie "girls time". To me, this is a place to go with a romantic partner or alone. It's not a club or bar environment where you can chat and "catch up". They play soothing music and the sound of the waterfall is really loud and thankfully masks the people chit-chatting. On the other hand.. they have a group discount for 10 people or more so that kinda contradicts their "be quiet" mantra. I get that it's so close to downtown Montreal and people in Montreal LOVE to socialize but it's really a place for solitude and quietude. Thankfully, the staff is good at letting people know to quiet down. But really, the strong jet sounds and waterfall sounds do mask the talking to some extent but the sounds aren't overpowering or anything either. You can request an indoor massage or an outdoor one in the tents. I opted for outdoor :) During my massage, I heard all kinds of birds from the marshland next to the water. One bird (or toad?) sounded like a rubber band, it was so cool. The tent blocked the wind but the sound of the tent swaying with the breeze along with the nature sounds was very memorable. Yes, the showers are very basic but I think they want to discourage people from lounging around in the changing rooms. If you want to lounge, buy the "thermal experience" pass for $37-$49. The price varies based on the day and time of day. I've never seen a spa charge to use their jacuzzi if you're getting a service but I can see why they do this as they have invested a lot into their spa and it's outstanding. If you just come here just for a massage or service: bring your own robe (call and ask sometimes they provide the robe, weird I know) and be prepared for a basic shower. Of course bring your bathing suit if you're going for the thermal experience and flip flops. The products in the shower are good (from Dans un Jardin) but the lotion was a little strong scent-wise (smelled like cotton candy) so maybe bring your own lotion. They provide you with a locker key that you keep on a rubber bracelet. FYI: Friday nights they have an "under the stars" event where it turns into a lounge with a DJ. read more

Here's the thing: this used to be my favourite spa in Montreal. But that was years ago. My first massage was at Strom about 7 years ago and it was an amazing experience. I usually visit around twice per year with friends but on my last few visits, I've been very disappointed - especially during my last experience last week. Firstly, they keep putting up their prices. Not sure why because they haven't added anything new so already there, I'm not impressed. My last visit cost me over $200, which has never happened to me before and I have been to so many spas! There is no longer a discount if you combine a massage to your bath experience. I think it's obvious that it's a greedy attempt to make more money off of their customers. Their robes feel worn and are not as soft probably because this spa has gotten so much more popular over the years that even going on a Friday morning/afternoon is now way too crowded. The amounts of couples that come here to... "get in the mood" for a lack of a better way to say it is surprising. Maybe they should build a hotel nearby! I understand shushing groups of people to be quiet but it borders on harassment at times. How come I have to put up with intensely loud make-out sessions from couples stuck to me but I have to be silent 24/7? This is definitely not the kind of spa where I would be comfortable going alone. Their massotherapists are always professional and courteous - no complaints there. I especially love getting massages outside in the tents; the natural sounds of the waterfall or the birds chirping really add to the relaxing massage experience as a whole. At their bistro, I ordered the grilled halloumi cheese and fennel salad, as well as the tuna wrap. This healthy and filling lunch set me back around $30. All in all, I don't think I'll be going back any time soon unless I have a gift card or a special reason to. It's such a shame because this is the most beautiful spa in Montréal. read more

Another spa day with friends for my birthday this year. We chose Strom after showing at another one and not knowing it was going to be closed. But I had heard great things about it so why not. We tried it on a Tuesday night, so not the most busy time for spas. Yet, it was kind of busy. Very nice modern spa, clean and nice staff. You can whisper with your friends, and they have more than just one hot tub and all that jazz. Only thing is we arrived late at night, it was our first time and no one showed us the premises. So we had t try to figure it out and the place, though lit, was quite dark. Overall, I would still suggest it to friends and would be curious to go see it in daytime and discover its surrounding. --- read more

Strøm is a very nice spa and the fact that it is located 10 minutes from downtown Montreal is awesome. The Montreal area offers some great urban and countryside spas, but in Strøm you get the best of both worlds. The convenience of an urban location in a mostly countryside setting. When you are sitting in Strøm's hot tubs you would never imagine that you are minutes from downtown. The spa is located on a small lake with a wooded park separating you from the nearest residential area. You can see a couple of condo towers off in the distance, but you otherwise have no feeling of being in the city. It s a really nice and relaxing setting. As for the spa facilities, Strøm offers you everything that you would expect: two hot tubs, two cold tubs, steam room, dry saunas, various relaxation areas and massage and other services. We recently purchased a 6 month evening membership, which are available at very reasonable prices, and have been enjoying quick trips to the spa ever since. read more

The Strom Spa is not the largest spa in the Montreal area, but I love the location, I really enjoy the various events they do on Thursday nights such as the Cozy Thursday, or the All night event where you are free to talk without any worries (especially good for my ladies friends who always like to bend the rule!! :-) The bar and food are also very enjoyable! read more
