great new spot I found them friendly and the chairs are very comfy. Support the business!

Joki gave best massage no lie I even pass out and I was there for 1 hr.best so far around that area

This place has been my home since 2023! I went in today and the owner was so sweet, she welcomed me back and provided me a new VIP card since I lost my last one. Miya was the person who gave me my massage today and she did an amazing job. This place is always checking on my comfort, making sure I feel welcomed and safe. Please stop by if you have the chance, they'll never steer you wrong! Thank you Amenity Spa 85 for your wonderful services. read more

Found this place thanks to a Groupon deal I got the massage & facial Groupon for couples. We had our rsvp, came in & we're almost immediately brought into a room. The room was separated by a curtain which can be used as a single or double for couples. Once we got settled they stared first the lady game me the facial it was nice & relaxing, nice cleaning job on the skin. Once she was done she switched with the guy & he game the massage it was very nice he did a good job. Small location, good experience overall the Groupon was definitely worth the try. read more

This was my second time getting a service. The place is pretty small. The front desk is right when you go in and people getting foot massages right there which can be kind of awkward. It was me and my partner and they take you downstairs which is like a basement and kind of run down. The room we were in is good but they kind of rush for us to get undressed. The first time we went was for facials and light massage which was great as they actually went into getting my pores. The second time we came for just massages and it got the time job done after a long day at work. Service is friendly and we always manage to get hey great deals on Groupon and can book an appointment with it so very convenient when we do not want to travel too far read more

Amenity Spa 85 - Sign at entrance - Massage Near Me - Manhattan, New York

I've been going to Amenity Spa 85 regularly for over a year for foot/leg massages and I've found the service to be competent and courteous. I prefer chair work to table work for foot massages and so I like that this Spa has 3 comfortable lounge chairs in the front of the Spa with ottomans. I usually read, but I've seen others fall asleep, which says a lot about the comfy chairs! Every therapist has been professional and good and every one has given the full time that was booked, unlike many other spas where they cut 10-15 minutes off and hope you won't notice. Foot massages end with a hot stone massage, which feels great at the end of a long day on my feet. In sum, I recommend Amenity without hesitation. In fact, I'm going again this weekend. pa. read more

This is my first yelp review because it was THAT bad and I need them to make a change. I was hoping this place would be good. I just went with my boyfriend for a couples massage. Genuinely the worst massage of my life. For example, first it hurt (and not because of pressure but because of technique), then I would have one arm massaged and not the other, and none of it felt enjoyable. But the worst part was that my masseuse kept LEAVING. She left 7 times for about 3 minutes each time. She then would answer phone calls and text during the massage with the ringer on full volume. I also would be fully aware when she was texting because her hand would be on me but no massage would be happening. Just a hand resting on me. THEN people / employees kept coming in and out of our couples massage room to chat with them. None of them even attempted to whisper. It was so crazy and also invasive because were barely clothed keep in mind. Lastly, they cut the massage short to 45 mins even though we paid for an hour. And this place was Extremely dirty. Even for the low price point that wasnt even close to worth it. I left irritated instead of relaxed. read more

I got a Swedish massage at this place called Amenity Spa 85 on the Upper East Side. I've had a lot of massages in the past and know that they can vary quite a bit. I don't mind getting massaged by a woman or a man, and I know that there's a level of intimacy that comes with being touched like that. However, a few things about this massage felt wrong. Firstly, I was told to undress down to my underwear (normal), but when the guy left the room, I realized there was no towel or blanket on the massage table. Interesting, but not altogether that concerning. So he asked if I was ready and came back in, with me lying face down on the table with my underwear on and no cover. I've never not gotten some sort of cover at the beginning, so it seemed odd. He spent the first ten minutes putting me into various positions, including straddling my butt while massaging my back. Also not completely unusual, although I had only ever experienced that during a Thai massage, not Swedish. It was at this time that I also thought I felt him having an erection, but figured it had to be something else. Then he started working on my "back." As someone who has bad upper back pain, it was immediately noticeable to me that he was focusing primarily on my lower back and butt and neglecting my top half. Despite being told in the beginning to keep my underwear on, he pulled them all the way down to below my butt. I kept feeling something brush up against me that felt like an erection. At one point, when he was working on one of my arms, I feel pretty confident that he essentially rested his erection in my hand. I thought maybe all of this was just my imagination (despite having had 30+ massages in my life and never really experiencing this), but then I looked at online Google reviews afterwards and saw two one-star reviews that mentioned similar experiences. Super concerning. This man and this practice definitely need to be evaluated. read more

The absolute best around at the most reasonable pricing, I use Joey and Coco for my services, I get the best waxing I get the best massage I get the best ear cleaning, there are a fine example for everyone to follow. I really recommend you try it. I personally like going during the day. read more

Came here two different times through Groupon: 0 stars for deep pore cleansing facial. It was rushed and painful. I should have known better. I left a $5 tip for a terrible experience and they just looked at me like wtf. 4 stars for massage. Left a $20 tip. It's at a convenient location, will rerun. No frills place. You can hear everything. read more

If I could rate this place a zero I absolutely would. I would rate this place 0 out of 5 stars. This place is an epic certified disgrace of a spa, to the point I don't even know where to begin. First of all, Joki is horrible, one of the worst managers I've ever encountered at a spa. She will routinely hang the phone up on you, lie about who's working that day and she will schedule appointments for you, only for you to show up on time and on schedule, only for your appointment to get cancelled for one reason or another. In fact, all of the front desk people do this, not just Joki. She's just the worst offender. For example. Each time I try to book with Coco who is a pretty good masseuse, Joki lies to me over the phone telling me that "Coco doesn't work here" (she does). Apparently this is a problem as I've had other people try to make appointments with specific therapists only to be given the run around as well. It's like they pick and choose who they want their customers to see and I don't quite understand it honestly. There have also been several instances in which I've had to dispute numerous charges with my bank from them as they still charged my card at times for massage appointments in which THEY cancelled. I only recommend paying wish case here because they'll likely try to scam you. Lastly, they have a lot of groupon deals here, which highly attracts all of the riff-raff of course obviously. Dirty people from off the street and low-class individuals in general tend to frequent this spa. Not to mention the spa itself is rather dirty also. I've seen roaches crawling around on the register/counter, and sometimes the towels have certain smells too, as if they haven't been properly cleaned. I've even heard from folks who have been here that they don't always change the sheets in between appointments. That too is a red flag. Crazy to think they are the sister store to Amenity Spa 90, which is a VASTLY superior spa. Just save your money and time and simply go to the better Amenity Spa, which is Amenity Spa 90. Don't waste your time on this dump. Amenity Spa 85 is garbage. read more

It was dirty, the lady who came to give me a facial didn't wash her hand she was going to bathroom and other rooms back and forth and and wanted to give me the facial with the hand she was touching everywhere, then the way she was giving me the facial was kind of aggressive and more like hitting therefore from the first moment I went there I was counting the seconds until I finish. read more

Last week was the first time I've been to a spa in over 5 years. But best believe I needed it. Went in for a full body massage along with a hot stone treatment and it was an amazing experience. The masseuse was excellent as she knew where all of the pain points were. The hot stones were new to me and with a extremely sensitive back it was a shock at first but then I was able to adjust and I see why it's a option in the first place. As soon as you entered the place there is a sign on the wall that says " No sexual favors! So don't even ask! " I was like wow.. that stuff really happens huh?. At the end of the session there happened to be an issue with the price total which to me was a Lil embarrassing since I thought that was settled beforehand. Nonetheless it was a pretty good experience and would definitely suggest it if your ok with massage therapy. read more

Amenity Spa 85 - Massage Near Me - Manhattan, New York

My boyfriend has bruises from the couples massage we had this morning. He asked her to go softer but the touch never reached a relaxing place. Awful. My massage was with Ray and it was good but now my back is tingling like I decided to tolerate too much. Seeing my boyfriend's back makes me realize you could get injured in a massage. The place was clean and they were welcoming but the lack of English seems like a liability They put us in a room with our toes facing each other instead of being side to side. The phone kept ringing which she answered or let ring with caller ID blaring (I suggest they turn down the volume). We used a Groupon which did NOT mention we'd need to pay for tax yet they wanted us to pay. I tried to explain they should add that to Groupon but I do not believe I was understood. And MOST IMPORTANT: I suggest they ASK what people want and ADJUST more to people's requests and body reactions. read more

Amenity Spa 85 - Bruises from massage with one of the female massage folks - Massage Near Me - Manhattan, New York

My boyfriend scored us a 60 Min couples massage off Groupon for $79 so obviously decided to check it out. Let's be clear at this price in Manhattan you can't expect to be walking into a boujee spa. Lol My friend Called 30 mins prior to confirm our appointment, from the sounds of it there was a lot of confusion. He clarified he had made the appointment Friday prior and after this they took his number and said we were still confirmed. So if you do make an appointment I suggest CALLING to CONFIRM to prevent a wait time. They took us to the room right upon arrival that was closest to reception. The beds were not side by side but in a line with heads at opposite ends. Wasn't given any direction but stripped and just laid face down, they have a paper towel over the hole that they split open for you to put your face through and not touch it. I felt there were still cloth parts in the hole that touched me and I prayed hard it was just blanket that they wash and change every time. Lol I didn't say or request anything and honestly it was the perfect amount of pressure, Towards the end they even incorporate HOT STONES. were a few times it hurt, but I felt she was working on a knot in my shoulder so that can be expected. However the following morning my Friends biceps were very sore and he did wake up with a bruise on his inner thigh. Candles, smoothing music, and scents would really give this place a nice touch in the rooms to add some warmth! :) Especially since they are FAR from SOUND PROOF and reception is less than 3 steps away. *Note if you have the Groupon there is a $3 tax / person. Obviously Gratuity not included. read more

Groupon deal Well worth it. Gets 3 stars mainly due to the appearance of the location, it needs to be brought up to date. Also the background music loop needs to be extended to have more variation after the first 20mins i figured out the pattern. Now the staff HAS SKILLS!!! Wooo! Hit all the right spots with adequate force. Felt great afterwards... Walking on clouds. read more

I got a chair massage with Coco and she was excellent! She was able to seek out exactly where the tension in my neck, shoulder, and back was, and she used just enough force to knead out my knots but not in a painful way. I highly recommend Coco! I will DEFINITELY be back and will request her again! read more

Massage was okay. I mean it was $50 so you're going to get a basic massage. However, I believe that if you go to get a massage the masseuse should ask you if there are any parts of your body that they should be careful with. The massage was a bit rough and rushed. Also I received the worst facial of my entire life. The facial was $150.00. The masseuse lady also performed my facial, I explained to her that I have sensitive skin and my skin gets red really fast, so to please use products that would do my skin well, she recommend a facial microdermabrasion, she performed it and I swear to god she kept using the same product for the whole facial and I knew she was because the scent of the "facial cream" was the same every time she said she was using a different one. Then she put me a mask, terrible is an understatement. Nonetheless; my face was more irritated, was left really dry and more redness. She also the squeezed the crap out of my nose as if she was trying to take out blackheads, which I most certainly do not have, left me with a scar on my nose for 3 days(due to my sensitive skin). I don't know if I came on a wrong day, but I will never come here again. My total price for everything was $214.00. They also prefer cash. Hopefully you all will have. A better experience. This was my true and honest experience read more

Amenity Spa 85 - Couples massage room. - Massage Near Me - Manhattan, New York

I came here for a 60 minute massage via Groupon and thought Steven did a great job. I waited about 15 minutes for the massage to start but had a full hour massage. As an FYI staff preferred $5 upfront in cash and cash tip-it was an okay space but thought it was reasonable for price. You receive a punch card and I would consider going back again read more

Clean, no frills, quality on time massages. Can't beat the price. There are many choices for length of treatment - just ask what's possible. I find the staff friendly and open to accommodating preferences. I bring and keep in my EarPods with my own music and relax. The rooms are not soundproof so you can hear what's happening if people are talking. Easy on line booking. read more

Been here twice - this past week for a 90 minute massage (60 minute back and 30 foot). Was really good. Worth the money. And who doesn't love a punch card (11th one free). read more

I went to this place for the first time with no appointment They squeezed me in after 15 min which was nice. I give 3 star because I entered the room before it was prepared and I noticed he was folding the same towels previous customer used in place for me. I asked him to change everything, and he did. I wonder how many times he's done that to customers. I feel reluctant to go back. read more

Booked on Groupon by a friend and gifted to me, never even got to the table because they needed a barcode voucher to scan, the proof of receipt wasn't enough and this was a gift to me not something I booked myself. When my friend requested the voucher from the Groupon app it said the order was still processing yet we received confirmation emails of the booking. 3 workers came out, grabbing my phone out of my hand to show each other the screenshots I have then using a tablet to google translate that I need a barcode. I tried explaining that the barcode never showed up on the app and I have confirmations of the booking. I believe this is a scam on their part because there was so much confusion for no reason and I just wanted a massage that was already paid for. read more

Excellent Massage Experience. Visited Amenity Spa 85 twice for Swedish massage and the masseuse was wonderful. She asked how deep and hard I preferred and asked if she should know anything about sensitive body parts. She did a perfect massage for me with lavender oil &hot stones for 60 full minutes. The venue is a bit dated but the rooms were tidy & pleasantly dim with flower garland decorations, the music soft and unobtrusive & tidy; towels were clean & neatly folded. The spa gives you a 10 spot punch card for future discounted massages with the 11th being free. Very pleasant place with pleasant friendly staff. read more

I purchased a Groupon for this establishment. I came in today for a 60 minute facial. I informed the woman in the front that I had an appointment and a Groupon. She informed me that I had to pay a $3 tax fee upfront which was fine with me many places do this with Groupon. She made a comment "people buy groupons and don't want to pay fee". I never complained about paying a fee so her comment was unacceptable. I paid the fee and redeemed my Groupon before service.They took me to a room and I took off my jacket and mask. Another woman came in told me to remove my top, bra, and jeans. I was confused and told her I shouldn't have to undress because I'm getting a facial. She got upset and someone else came in the room and I had to show them my Groupon again. They began laughing never apologized for the error. The facial is mediocre. They use a machine on the nose to remove blackheads instead of doing a regular extraction. She kept answering her phone while doing my facial. The women then proceeded to massage my feet I was again confused because I purchased the "60 minute facial". When I was leaving I approached the front desk to leave a tip. I was asked to pay for my facial. I was livid because my Groupon was redeemed prior to service. I showed them that it was redeemed they took my phone from me and was saying I had to show a code. Another woman stood up for me and told them they were wrong that once the Groupon is redeemed the code doesn't show. They then proceeded to tell me I had to pay the $3 tax fee which I paid when my Groupon was redeemed. I told them how horrible they run a buisness, snatched my phone and walked out. If you want a great facial in the area where you're treated respectfully, have a quiet space please go to Kamilas nearby. read more

We showed up here for a 90 mins couples massage purchased via Groupon. After redeeming the Groupon, they told us that the Groupon was for 1 person even though it clearly said it was for 2. After much back and forth we got up and left and had Groupon refund us for the massage. They also wanted to charge us a Groupon tax of 5 dollars each. As we were arguing, another couple came out of their massage and were shamed into tipping more than they wanted to. All of this was on top of getting our appointment time wrong. read more

great massage. masseuse did just the right amount of pressure and everything felt great. she included my head which is something i always look for as someone with chronic headaches, but don't always get. staff was friendly. it's not the most privacy i've had- they do curtains instead of rooms with doors, but otherwise everything was great. I will come back read more

Nice, clean massage spot with attentive staff. They asked what were our problem zones , what hurt the most and they did great job!

This is the most unsanitary filthy "spa" I've ever seen. I came for a facial and was ushered into a basement room that smelled like mold. They made the room so dark that I actually couldn't see the equipment that was all off to the side. Nothing was plugged in and ready. They gave me a towel to cover myself. The towel was damp, stained and had holes throughout. read more

Based on the reviews I was expecting loud noise and chaos. Happily, I didn't get either. I called this morning and asked for a facial appt. for today, with a Groupon. I got there a little early and was taken a little early. I went to a room downstairs. Everything looked clean and new. There was another station next to mine (separated by a curtain) but it wasn't in use while I was there. Nice relaxing music....I was dozing off (that's how I measure a facial...if it relaxes me). The facial itself was very good. Lisa did some massaging while my mask was setting. All in all, a very good experience. read more

I've been to another Amenity Spa location, but this location was super rough & rushed. My feet felt like she was trying to tenderize them or something. I will never go back to Amenity Spa 85, the chairs are hard, they do not recline & they person had no clue what "stop that hurts" meant read more

I got hit with the groupon 'tax' and was basically bullied and shamed into tipping more than 20%. The owner started showing my tip to the other massage staff and commenting on the amount. The massage itself by 'Cherry' was excellent (besides the aforementioned chatting going on during the couples massage), however the proverbial slap in the face at the end left a sour taste in my mouth. So much for a 'deal'. read more

Wow. This place was so disorganized. I should have known because I read Yelp reviews that said they didn't have the customers' appointments on file, but I naively assumed my experience would be different. When they had no record of my appointment for a couple's massage, I was told to come back in two hours. Which was fine, I guess. We killed time and waited. When we came back, they were not ready for us and gave me most of my massage IN THE LOBBY. I couldn't believe it. It was so awkward. People were walking in and trying to use their Groupon vouchers (and I saw firsthand how many people had their appointment times messed up by the poor organization at this spa). The receptionist basically gave me a 45-minute foot massage (not at all what I paid for, nor what I wanted. My shoulders are the issue, not my feet). She was answering the phone on her Bluetooth headphones as she massaged me, making appointments and... not writing them down. Which probably explains what happened to me. Finally, they found a room for me to get massaged in (not with the person I came in with, but whatever). I received a very cursory massage for maybe 10 minutes. Then as I was getting dressed after my terrible massage, they opened the curtain and started setting up for the next appointment. I said "I'm not done getting dressed," but I was told "that's okay". Um, not really. I paid for a full body couples massage. Definitely did not get that. My friend who came with me dropped her phone on the floor and it was covered in dirt, so also seems like cleanliness is an issue. She also said that they massaged her boobs... a lot... which is a little weird. Despite that I think my massage was worse than hers, since it was in the lobby and one of the most awkward experiences of my life. I left feeling FAR less relaxed than I had beforehand. After the massage, I told them it was hands down the worst massage I'd ever gotten, and the receptionist's only response was to ask for a tip. I didn't want to leave one, but I was going to anyway just because. I gave her my card to do the tip, and she just put it on the counter, started talking to other people, and basically made me wait around for even longer in this godforsaken place. After waiting a while, I just took my card and left without leaving a tip. I feel slightly bad, but I also feel incredibly ripped off. I wish I had gone to my usual local place, but I had plans at the Met and decided to try a new spa. Terrible idea. Don't go here. Just trust me. I'd read the bad reviews and thought people were exaggerating... how wrong I was. read more

This place is fantastic! My boyfriend and I got a couples massage through groupon and it was such a great decision. The masseuses were very professional and skilled. We are so limber now.

Amenity Spa 85 - Massage Near Me - Manhattan, New York

This Groupon is misleading. The room was very cold (I was shivering throughout), they took us into a weird room in a basement next to storage, the massage therapists (couples massage) talked to each other through the massage, there was nothing "spa" like about this service. Honestly, it's not worth the Groupon by any means. We left feeling more sore than when we arrived. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I've had a lot of massages, but this was THE BEST deep tissue massage I've ever had. It was exactly what i needed. I will not be going anywhere else. Ever. read more

Excellent massage and great service! Arrived a few minutes prior to my appointment and they got to me immediately (so even got a few bonus minutes over my one hour!). Went via Groupon and they were incredibly accommodating in explaining how to redeem it when I was unsure. Only downside to mention was that, because the massage area and the front aren't in separate rooms, I was able to hear the noise of the check-in area and the microwave from the break room during my massage. This was by no means a deal breaker and the massage was more than worth it! read more
