The pool needs a complete refurbishment: tiles are missing, there are very bad smells, steam room and showers are in ruins. Aspria is planning to refurbish them but I think a deeper renovation needs to take place. As far as the fitness room is concerned there are too few bikes and elliptic machines for the number of members. In addition, screens on some of them are broken. The carpets are dirty and not very hygienic. Recent renovations are mainly small fixes (new paint on some parts of the walls and sofas in fabric which make little sense since many sit on them with their wet bathing suits). I would not recommend signing up as prices are too high. Wait and see what management does... Team (especially reception team and the lady cleaning up the ladies' changing rooms) are very nice.

I…read morehave tried out dozens of different places worldwide and I can safely say that this is a great place to go and treat yourself. When it comes to massages price is no issue. I like cosy, clean and tastefully decorated spaces. There needs to be a warm, safe and luxurious feel to the place and I avoid clinical over the top contemporary modern style or places where the girls have these vulgar manicures - no offense. Spasiba is well located on Boulevard de Waterloo. There is plenty of parking outside, so no stress. On arrival you are given a thick cotton dressing gown and comfortable slippers. Then you go through the doors and enter a safe haven of calm. A waiting room lit by candle lights, with oriental sofa beds filled with cushions and curtains for privacy. A sauna and a hammam are also an option prior your massage. After using the spa facilities, relaxing and drinking a infused tea which is placed at your disposal on a table in the waiting room, you are called for your massage. By the time it is finished you can go back to the waiting room and relax, use the spa or take a shower and go home. Last time my massage was so relaxing that I slept for 2 hours straight after! I would give you the names of the masseurs I recommend but if I do that then I might not be able to get appointments for myself any more! I recommend this place and for you to discover!!

DO NOT GET WAXING DONE FROM QUO VADIS BEAUTY & WELLNESS CENTER. I dislike writing negative reviews,…read morebut I had such an awful experience that I felt it necessary to warn those who are looking for waxing while in Brussels. Honestly, I have NO idea how their waxing reviews are so great. I'm no stranger to waxing, but have NEVER had an experience like this. The woman waxing me didn't wear gloves and by the time I realized that she had been REUSING THE SAME WAXING STICK THROUGHOUT THE SESSION it was too late for me to do anything. During the wax, the woman kept opening the door and leaving while I was bottomless with my legs spread apart and wax left on my body. And then, even though I specifically kept asking, gesturing, etc. for her to leave a little hair on my labia because I have sensitive skin, she waxed it anyway. To add insult to injury, it has now come to my attention that she actually lifted patches of skin off of my pelvic area, leaving me with painful red blotches and an obvious burn. To her credit, when I expressed how upset I was with the wax, she didn't charge me. Thank goodness, though, because it has cost me that much at the pharmacy to pick up anti-bacterial sprays and creams just to try soothing the damage that had been done. Needless to say, I'm still livid. The kicker? When I asked to see the manager, it turned out that she was the manager. Thank you for not charging me, but this should never have been an issue.

Went with a friend who had a Groupon to visit (with the Groupon deal, not expensive, otherwise this…read moreplace can be a bit pricey). Located in Tour&Taxis, nicely decorated and relaxing feel--although this is my first Hammam, it had a more authentic feel according to what others told me traditional Hammams are like. Women and men have strictly separate visits/times (as this place is mostly frequented by Middle Eastern women/men) so it makes for a more comfortable atmosphere being around women. People tend to go in groups, whether with friends or family members. You are able to go nude or wear a swimsuit. Towels, slippers and bath robe are provided/included in the price. Must speak French, very little/no knowledge of English or Dutch (some, those doing the gommage don't speak much French either) but this is not a problem as you are there to enjoy yourself and have little interaction with those working there. I would definitely recommend the gommage, which is a sticky scrub you put on your body and exfoliating glove is needed too. After you put the sticky scrub all over your body you are basically scrubbed to death with your glove by a woman, which removes all your dead skin (disgusting to see all the dead skin you have on your body!). It hurts a bit when being done, but my skin felt so nice after! Sauna and hot room are also in the spa. I enjoyed having the sauna offered as a dry, hot place after being in the wet rooms most of the time. I would also recommend having a pot of sweet Morrocan tea afterwards as there is a nice area where you can sit (and eat too) to enjoy your drink, which consists mostly of soft couches. One criticism: in my experience the customer service wasn't that great as they forgot to give us the towels, robe, slippers so we were waiting around for them to be taken to us, when in the end, we went back to the front desk to get them. Also, after paying for my glove and gommage scrub, they forgot to provide this to me as well. This was a bit annoying but in the end not a problem or anything that ruined the experience. Would recommend as a half-day, day getaway in Brussels!

But, it you are seeking a deep tissue massage; this is not the place. I asked for their strongest person, as I am a big man with musculature and wanted to be worked, deep. Made an appointment for a 90 minute massage for the following day. I was assigned to kinesiologist Sara who, while certainly knowledgeable, is simply too small and not strong enough to dig deeply into the body. She found and worked on some trouble spots and did that well; but the overall massage went barely below the skin. It was pleasant, but eminently unsatisfying. I think this is more a women's place and that men are "extra." I saw many women there, many in hijab, giving me the post-impression that it is more a luxury spa than a place for active massage. Worth a try, a tad expensive, relaxing if that is what is sought.

It was a wonderful experience and they really take their time and don't rush their process which is nice if you want a relaxing hour or more at the beauty salon. I will be coming back! My feet are as soft as a baby's butt now, exactly what I needed! And the paint job was flawless.
