    World Spa is one of my favs spas in NYC, it is definitely worth the trip into Mapleton, BK. I've visited World Spa about 5 times throughout the years and the saunas, pools and locker rooms are always spotless. The staff is courteous and helpful, Carol at reception made my latest visit extra special. I love the variety of sauna rooms, the aromatherapy and hammam saunas are my favs. I've tried a few cocktails and entrees from their restaurant and all have been delicious. I always leave World Spa on cloud nine and anticipating my next visit.

    Came here for a friend's bday this January and we had a really good time. My favorite was the Himalayas salt room and the hot sauna show. If it's your first time coming, remember to bring your ID. They will create an account for you and take your picture prior to admission. The hours are measured by the time you enter the spa entrance using your bracelet and the time you exit and return the bracelet. I have to take away 2 stars because the floor and water in the pools are dirty. It's a mix of those who walked barefoot on the floor and those who walk with their outdoor slippers, and all those dirts are also brought into the pools that you can visually see. Unlike the traditional spas, they don't have strict policy on footwear.

    We had a great time here - received a voucher as a gift, and we had a four hour timed entry. The facility isn't huge but there is a great variety of saunas and pools. The locker rooms were clean and towels plentiful. Some of the rooms were under maintenance when we visited, which was a bit disappointing. Would come back again!

    This spa is very nice, clean and the staff is welcoming. The food was amazing and the drinks were very refreshing. There are so many different amenities from spa services to indoor pools/Jacuzzi. We definitely plan on revisiting.

    $120 for an admission pass seems a bit excessive, especially since they have limited facilities (namely pools). It's not bad if you go when it isn't crowded, which was the case for me as I booked for a Tuesday afternoon. They only have 1 pool (hydrotherapy) and it's not very big, although the website lists 4 pools. The others are even smaller and is a jacuzzi, a cold plunge pool, and "vitality pool". They have about 6 saunas which were pretty good. I loved the Moroccan and Turkish steam rooms the best. They also have 2 other specialty rooms. I booked the "Couple Pure Relaxation Massage 50 min" which cost $175 per person but it included admission, so that was a good deal! (They had a special running where if you booked a massage, your admission was free, otherwise, the price wouldn't have been worth it). The massage was pretty good although I didn't fall asleep as I usually do during a good massage. Food/drinks: the food was just okay and the portions were very small, especially the calamari. The drinks were much better. The lychee martini and lychee spritz were my favorite. Compared to sojo?? This only tops because Sojo doesn't serve alcohol and is all the way in jersey.

    Love the ambiance and decor of the spa. Customer service is very helpful and on point. The food is decent not anything to rave about. The drinks are alright; also not anything to rave about. The facility is kept clean, barefoot is recommended for the heated floors but slippers are available for purchase $20-$30. Lockers rooms are cleaned routinely and frequently. You may always get a crowd, but everyone respects the space and it's never too noisy.

    I've been wanting to go here forever. I finally got here and got to use my year old GC. World Spa is beautiful, everything from the wood finishes to the stone detailing feels high-quality and luxurious. The layout is modern and clean, and the saunas are truly the standout. The Turkish and Moroccan rooms were my favorites: gorgeous, love the humidity, and incredibly relaxing. Realllyyy loved those 2. It's impossible to go here and not compare it to Sojo spa. They are the same price for entry and are about equidistant from my apartment in Queens. Unfortunately for World Spa, Sojo Spa tops them almost everywhere. I think I like World Spas saunas better than Sojo though. The space overall is smaller than I expected for the price point, especially compared to other spas on the same tier. The layout is a little funky with the restaurant being the main focal point of the floor that has all amenities. No pools or sauna off the locker room. The pool and hot tub selection is pretty limited compared to any similar spa and the food was a miss for me. My avocado smoothie was small and absolutely tasteless and my poke bowl had good tuna, but everything else was weird. Especially the fake guac when I was expecting sliced avocado. One thing that I've taken for granted at other spas is SOMEWHERE quiet, somewhere you can read a book, write, etc. There was no space here and that's part of unwinding for me. The space is just too small for what it wants to be. They also charge $15 for parking when it's free at Sojo, making a weekday entrance here more expensive if you drive. I could see coming back here if I lived closer, or if entry was significantly cheaper, but as it is..I'll just go to Sojo or try the basic spa near me in flushing that costs $40.

    I enjoyed my first visit here. I do think they could have more pools and have complimentary water to drink since they have so many saunas. With that said I enjoyed the saunas they were nice. I also ate at the restaurant the food was decent i do think the portions could be bigger considering the price. The drink i had was also mixed well and good. Id come back but it's pretty pricey and I think Sojo has a leg up on them. But def check it out for yourself if you're in the area.

    A lot of money was invested into a modern, sleek, beautiful design of this brand new facility. It is pleasant to walk the floors and feel like you are in an upscale European facility. The owner is Eastern European, so he did his best and went all out with ordering materials, Décor, and all the facilities from Europe. you don't feel bad about spending over 100 bucks on a spa experience in a brand new space. Upon entrance, you pay the admission fee of $100 for a full day admission, no time limit, if you're visiting on a weekday. Weekends are more expensive. Then you also get a digital wristband that acts as a wallet. You can order additional spa services and food and drinks: all of the chargers will be on your bracelet. When you're leaving the facility, a staff member scans your bracelet and checks you out. Bring your own slippers. Bathing suits and slippers are available for rent as well. The spa gets crowded on the weekend so I would highly recommend going on a weekday. Several different saunas are available on premises, as well as Jacuzzis, cold plunge, and a large swimming pool. Good variety of options. You can easily spend the whole day here. Be aware that it gets more crowded towards the evening. Every hour, trained staff do free entertainment demonstrations in saunas to showcase, traditional Russian banya techniques. You can book those additional treatments and services afterwards as well. The one thing that was very inconvenient and for which I take off stars is that there are only three showers available in the women's locker room. A big line forms for anyone who wants to shower before leaving the facility. I was in a rush, so after waiting for a while, I just couldn't bear it anymore, so I left. That was a crummy end to my experience. When you're paying that much money for SPA Admission, you need to get free access to basic facilities like shower, without waiting for an hour.

    I came here for a spa day with my family. We came on the weekend with day pass 4 hour admission. The place was spacious so it didn't feel crowded even when more people came in the late afternoon. The facilities were very clean and well maintained. I really liked the Moroccan and Turkish hammams (steam rooms) since they were ornate and had an intense steam. The dry saunas and snow room were great as well. The cons - I appreciated the robe but people kept grabbing the wrong robe so I wouldn't put anything valuable in them in case someone takes your robe. Also, we ate in the restaurant and the service was so slow. The food was okay and there's alcohol. If you do come, bring a bathing suit, slippers, and don't eat at the restaurant.

    If you want to walk into an Oasis of calmness and relaxation, accompanied by aromatherapy and detoxification, this is the place to go! This spa has several rooms consisting of saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, pools, cold plunges etc. the food court also has delicious food and the pina colada was amazing!!! So I've read reviews online saying this place is overcrowded blah blah blah.. guess what? Go on a weekday! I went on a Friday afternoon and stayed 7 hours! (If you go on a weekday there is no time limit). On Fridays they have an "event" which is like an instructor in the main sauna who distributes heat using a towel and music and aromatherapy it was AMAZING and truly a unique experience.

    The experience was wonderful. The front desk staff were very helpful. The milk and honey scrub was professional, relaxing, and smelled amazing. My skin feels soft and smooth. The food was delicious and healthy. Overall, it was a great experience.

    World spa is a fantastic getaway to relax. Checking in was a bit lengthy because of the waiver agreement. After the check in there was nothing but smooth sailing. The locker room was well kept and I was very impressed with the robe that was in the locker. Visiting as much as I could within a few hours, I found it very relaxing. I didn't do any spa treatments or massages. The staff were pleasant and helpful. I would like to come back earlier in the day so I can experience more but when you are treated to a spa, you go with the flow. I can't wait to come.

    Are the lockers large enough to store a small suitcase? 12"x16"x2'?

    I do not think the lockers are big enough for a small suitcase.

    Is it really crowded on the weekends?

    It gets crowded on the weekends. The earlier you go the less people are there. I went on a Saturday at 10am and was able to use the saunas without any crowds. By about 2pm there were many more people.

So perhaps it was a cloud with a silver lining to be turned away. TLDR: - Awful communication. Info posted online is not honored or accurate. Info given verbally is not honored or accurate. - The space -- what we saw of it -- seemed dingy and dirty. - Staff are uninformed and extremely rude.

Before coming, I was frustrated, having called Nowadays several times on both Thursday (I left a voicemail because they are NOT open) and Friday (no answer during open hours). So I sent an email. I received a response from Nowadays staff late Friday evening with only a hyperlink and unclear info. My original email was also forwarded to the actual owners of Hot Box. They promptly answered my email and gave me clear written directions, a hyperlink with updated info, and a direct phone number to call to communicate with humans...winning! That evening, I called & spoke with the upbeat empathetic owner Paula. I received such wonderful customer service that I was intent on supporting WHATEVER project she and Jackie had going on! My girlfriend and I were psyched about coming to a "tiny house" sauna. It's housed in the backyard of the restaurant Nowadays in Ridgewood for now, but moves to various spots around the city. After registering, when your time slot is ready, you will go to 1 of 2 zip-down, enclosed changing cabanas to slip into your swimsuit and slippers. You are given a long black or short teal robe for warmth/ coverage, and escorted up onto the porch (no shoes) and into the sauna where fresh towels await you on the bench. There is an outdoor shower for the warmer months, and a fire pit for the cooler months. There is also cold ginger lemon water for your sipping pleasure. There are 2 enclosures in the sauna that vary in temperature, to cool down without having to leave the sauna. The hottest section can comfortably hold 4-7 people, the warmer section 4-6 small-thighed folks. The porch also seats 2, and is VERY Instagramable, if you're about that life! All in all, it was absolutely wonderful. Between catching up with my girlfriend, chatting with our sauna-mate, giggling with the owners Jackie & Paula & staff, and hanging at the fire pit, the time FLEW by! So I would advise booking at LEAST an hour. But there is happy hour pricing before 10pm when they are open, so Frugalistas also get to rock out!

The whole floor is rather zen, except for the cleaners you can hear outside your room. You're welcomed in by refreshing scents, think Byredo or OUAI. We booked the 1 hour dose for two and were promptly ushered to our private room, which included the infared sauna centered and the adjacent bathroom to it, with high quality hair products (Redken Acidic Line), Peter Thomas Roth skincare products, and a tea tree body wash. Included was a hair dryer, some face masks, and some takeaways provided by some of the sponsors they're currently working with (eye masks, etc). Staff started the timer for an hour and we were left to our own devices in the dim, soothingingly calm lighted room. You are able to play your own music if you connect to the speakers but I thought it was fun to just vibe out to their own chill techno zen-yourself-out music. I loved how the sauna experience came with some cool wet towels and face wipes, as well as a ice cool water canister in the corner to refill as you please. The sauna itself was exceptionally clean and well kept. Since I don't experience this often, I found it most tolerable when I took frequent breaks outside by walking around or just refreshing myself with the towels provided. I was piqued when the staff notified us afterwards that there's a 15% discount when you book your next spa day with them right after your appointment, and that deal can be started anytime you come in. I felt refreshed for the rest of the day, despite being in this heatwave and perusing around LES/Chinatown afterwards (which is usually rather overstimulating and sweat inducing). I'll def be back--the time passes rather slowly, and it felt like one of those little luxuries that set the pace for the rest of the day. Exceptional experience with friendly staff, upscale facility, and affordable cost.

I had…read morebeen to the King Spa in Niles, IL several times and absolutely loved it, so I was expecting a similar relaxing experience. Unfortunately, I left feeling completely disappointed and more stressed than relaxed. I went on a Monday morning hoping to avoid crowds and have a peaceful day. Things started off on the wrong foot almost immediately. While I was simply checking the size of the uniform, holding it up to see if there was a difference in the width, an employee came over and snatched the second pair out of my hand as if I was trying to take something I shouldn't have. It was not a great way to start when I had barely gotten in the door. Next, the layout was also really confusing. The spa is spread across multiple floors with different sections and stairways, but no one explained where anything was or how to navigate the space. I spent a lot of time in the morning trying to figure out where I was and it felt like I was nosing around someone else's house: uncomfortable. The biggest issue, though, was communication. A woman in the locker room offered my niece and me a deal for two massages for $140 ($70 each) and asked me to send the money through Zelle. I sent $170, including what I thought was a generous tip of over 20%. She arranged the appointment, but I didn't confirm what type of massage I wanted. I foolishly assumed they would ask before starting. We had lunch beforehand - the food was delicious and the portion was huge. Unfortunately, they don't offer to-go boxes, so I needed to reschedule our massages in order to finish my meal. Before even finishing my meal, I went to the massage counter to see if we reschedule our appointments. A younger patron helped translate at the massage desk, but she needed my time slot and took it for herself. She told me the woman would help me reschedule and then left. When I tried to figure out my new time, the interaction felt rushed and dismissive. I was given time without being asked if it worked for me, and when I asked about other options, I was told there were none. I would have cancelled but had already paid, so I took the L. When it was finally time for the massage, we were taken back without anyone asking what type of massage we wanted. I realized my mistake because it was a much more intense massage style and is not my preference. At that point though, after so many rushed and uncomfortable interactions, I honestly didn't feel comfortable advocating for myself to tell them I wanted reflexology. The final issue happened while I was changing before leaving. The same woman who arranged the massage came over and told me I hadn't paid enough tip. I was confused because... it was a tip. She told me I owed another $20 and (to add insult to injury) that I couldn't get my license back from the front desk until I paid. That brought the tip to over 35% on a service I didn't choose and didn't enjoy. I came to King Spa looking for rest and relaxation, but instead left feeling like I had spent my hard-earned money somewhere that never quite felt comfortable and certainly not welcomed.

    This was my first time trying a 'salt room'. I went in with an open mind, and over the years have…read moretried a number of alternative therapies. On this one, I can't say I'm convinced it does anything. Sure, the overall space is nice and 'zen'. The salt room itself, very 'pretty' with all the various white/ivory/peach/pink/coral/orange shades of the salt walls. The feeling of salt crystals under your bare feet? Nice. Relaxing chairs to sit in. But at the end of the 30 minute session, did I feel anything special beyond the fact that I just 'relaxed' in a pretty room for 30 minutes? No. Note that the salt room can also hold up to three clients at a time, which means they have the potential to charge up to $87 for three people, for just a 30-minute period. That's $174 per hour for a room that's filled with salt. Where no personal or hands-on service is provided...just clients 'sitting' in a room. I guess they also disperse 'saline aerosol' into the room while you are sitting in there. I'm not exactly sure what that is, or how it's supposed to be beneficial to you but then it begs the question...is it the saline aerosol that benefits you and/or some type of 'energy' that is supposed to come from the salt itself in the room? I don't know...I just have to wonder if this salt room thing is nothing more than an (unproved) trend that they are going to milk for all it's worth, until the next wellness trend comes along. When I first arrived and was eventually directed to the room, even though they knew it was my first time there, I was given no real direction or expectation...just told to go on in the room. (Typically you'd expect some type of introductory language...'we pipe saline aerosol into the room...this provides XYZ, etc'). I also found it odd that at the end of the 30-minute session, the woman working the desk simply came to the room and opened the door without warning. No knock, no 'bell' to let me know the session was over...just her, suddenly opening the door. (Typically at personal service places like that, they would knock on the door first, or ask if it's ok to enter, and especially considering I was in the room all alone, i.e., maybe I was in the middle of taking a weird selfie when she just opened the door?) Maybe next time I'll give the infrared sauna a try and see how that goes...but as for the salt room and just sitting in there, I don't think I'd spend my money on that again. It so happens that at the time, I was starting to feel quite sick with a bad cold. Other reviews here seemed to suggest they felt 'relief' from a cold. I felt no difference in anything, after my salt room session.

    There were 3 plush chairs in the salt room. It was very bright and warm. The session later just…read moreunder 30 minutes. By the time I was relaxed enough the session was over. However, I enjoyed the experience. I would frequent Modrn Salt and explore the other services they offer if I lived or worked in the area.
