What you see is what you will get. To give some background, I'm a male, 21 year old traveler from New York. I opted for the hot stone massage which was absolutely delightful. It's extremely hard to compare to anything else, but it's a warm, relaxing experience for your whole body. I showed up a little bit before my massage to use the facilities, which are absolutely excellent. They have a sauna, a steam room, a cold bath, a pool, a hot tub/jacuzzi, a gym, showers, and a changing room. Everything feels very clean, high quality, and new. If you're in Oslo and have a day to spend to yourself, I highly recommend Artesia.

The lady on the other end of the phone spoke English and was very pleasant. The staff at Tianlai are all very friendly and accommodating. I booked 1,5 hour appointment, splitting the appointment in half between classic Chinese Tui-na massage and relaxing oil massage. My massage therapist conducted both types of massage within satisfactonary leveles. After my massage I was taken to a relaxation room where I enjoyed a cup of tea and some fruit. I left feeling totally relaxed an happy and even enjoyed a 10% discount from checking in on Yelp. Tianlai is professional and clean. Their service is excellent and I cannot wait to be back for another massage!

There's one word that sums up Artesia: paradise. This indoor oasis is exactly what the doctor…read moreordered for a stress free afternoon. With a beautiful pool, sauna and steam room accompanied by comfortable lounge chairs and a sweeping view of Oslo, Artesia is a decadent, luxurious and stress eroding environment. While you can use the facilities without booking a treatment, I decided to splurge on a hot stone massage and am so glad that I did. It melted away every morsel of stress from my fingers to my toes. My masseuse was very attentive and professional and I believe his hands may just be magical. Absolutely brilliant massage. The only complaint I would have for Artesia would be their strange rules about using their changing rooms, lockers and robes. When I arrived at the spa I requested a robe to change into and the woman at the front desk informed me I would need to pay 100 NOK in order to use a robe and their changing facilities. While I understand that charge if you are only using the pool facility I don't think it makes sense if you have already paid for a treatment. She continued that as a hotel guest I am responsible for bringing my own robe and that I need to contact the hotel front desk to obtain one. This information was not made readily available to me before my massage, even though I did book via phone. Sort of took away from the magical and stress free oasis feel that Artesia managed to create.
