    What a great place to kick back and relax. Make sure to have your coffee if you are thinking of going at 8am because there is no acess to drinks or food of any kind until l 9am on the rooftop. Wet and dry saunas a pool on the rooftop and several comfortable seats. It's large and the locker rooms is clean.

    Tried this location for the first time w a friend and we loved the experience.. it was very relaxing everyone was nice the only thing is there's no direction on where to go n they run out of towels and slippers quickly but either then that love the pool feature they have

    Bathhouse was exactly what I needed -- a perfect mix of relaxation and atmosphere. The space is beautifully designed, clean, and gives off a calm, upscale vibe from the moment you walk in. I loved rotating between the different pools and saunas, and the overall experience felt both rejuvenating and social without being overwhelming. Staff was friendly, everything felt well maintained, and the whole visit helped me completely unplug for a few hours. Definitely a great spot for a reset day with friends or even a solo self-care escape. I'll absolutely be back.

    Came here plenty during the summer - mostly used the rooftop pool but took dips in their other pools downstairs. Rooftop pool is amazing, especially on early, random weekdays. So peaceful and relaxing. I loved how they also had beanbags so non-daybed visitors aren't restricted to sitting on concrete. I also appreciated the locker cleanliness, plus they were never out of supplies. Only thing to note is that the shower drains get clogged easily so there were some issues with that.

    This was my first time coming to bathhouse. I purchased the first timer day pass which included a personal tour. They show you around and also encourage you to try the afgus. I honestly can say I accomplished things I never thought I would prior to coming to this spa. I came at 7pm and it was pretty crowded. The place it HUGE so it wasn't like we were all crammed up. This spa is a unisex spa so both woman and men share spaces. With that being said, there was a lot of boo loving going on lol (nothing inappropriate though) I went to the cafe and had pork dumplings and a Mai tai. I honestly was not a fan of the Mai tai. It tasted like prune juice. This is just my personal opinion** the dumplings were fine but I also wasn't feeling all of the oil it was sitting in. ‍ I'm going to try their other location in Flatiron but I also look forward to returning to this location. Maybe with my boo

    I've been here a few times now and have always enjoyed coming here. This was my first time being back since they added the rooftop pool and additional baths. I recommend going on a weekday when it is less crowded. The additional space has helped with that but it still gets pretty busy. This was my second time dining in the cafe. This time there was an automatic 20% gratuity included. This is after paying at the counter, $17 for 4 wings, getting my own water, and getting the hot sauce that the staff member said "you can go grab yourself". Other than cook the chicken myself, I did most of the work but was charged a mandatory 20% tip. It ended up being over $5/wing. Definitely recommend eating in the area beforehand. I understand the automated tip at the rooftop bar where they are serving you.

    Celebrating my Bestie, we had an early Saturday spa day! Loved the facilities and the attentive and professional service. Not having to leave the Borough was certainly a plus. Glad we arrived early because it gets crowded. Food was tasty and just enough.

    Went back to Bathhouse today and they have added quite a few new features since our last visit. The most notable addition is the rooftop swimming pool, which is now heated during the winter months. The moment you step outside onto the roof, the first thing that catches your eye is the steam rising off the water. As people climb out of the pool, you can see the steam rolling off them as well. It is a genuinely impressive sight. The pool itself is quite large and we really enjoyed spending time up there. There is also a sauna on the rooftop level, though according to my wife it was not putting out much heat, which makes sense given how cold it was outside. The pool temperature is another story entirely. It is very warm and you feel completely comfortable while in the water despite the winter air surrounding you. Whenever I started feeling a slight chill, I would just dip my head under and instantly felt fine. It is a really unique experience and one of the cooler things we have done in a while. I skipped the ice plunge today. I just was not feeling up to it and spent most of my time relaxing in the regular pools instead. My wife made good use of the saunas and I checked them out briefly before stepping away, not wanting to overdo it and get dehydrated. She was in need of some solid rest and relaxation and Bathhouse delivered on that front. It was a great Saturday. We rode the train home well past midnight but left feeling like it was absolutely worth it.

    Did a day pass on the hottest day of the year. I went at 9AM and there were people waiting outside before they opened. First off, this place is huge, 2 floors of saunas and cold plunges, a restaurant and impressive Rooftop pool with a view. The Cold Plunge on the main floor at 44 degrees is huge and definitely cold. The Cold Plunge on the lower floor at 52 degrees is less impactful and smaller. The Banya and Steam Sauna were my favorites (over the Tropical and Dry Sauna). The mini sauna on the roof was not working. Locker rooms were clean enough with showers. Can definitely get busy and loud especially after 5pm and all day crowdedness on the Roof if it is a sunny summer day. There are some seats on the roof which do not require purchase like a daybed which is nice. Plenty of towels to go around. There are water fountains. I didn't have any large issues with cleanliness at the location, which was a prior complaint. A lot of staff members and were generally friendly. Nice that you can buy a Day Pass and stay there all day (ranges from $35-$85) - they seem to be implementing some type of dynamic pricing. Prices also seem to be trending higher. I did not partake in the massages, restaurants or mini bar area on the Roof. Would definitely come back on an Occasional basis.

    Wondering how big the "hang/chill out" areas are in the bath section of the Bathhouse or if there are any. I only saw photos of the tubs, the stream room, sauna and restaurant. Does this place have any lounge areas other than the restaurant?

    There are some benches and little chairs on the sides, but the best hang out / lounge area is the heated marble slabs in the center of the spa by the pools.

    Can I pay for a spa treatment such as a massage or facial without the pass?

    No. The treatments are only *in addition to* the day pass. If you only want a massage or scrub treatment you would automatically be paying for the day pass as well, whether you take advantage of the other amenities or not.

    Are amenity areas coed?

    Yes

    Do you have to be completely naked for the full body scrub?

    No, bathing suit is required

    Do you only get a robe if/while you're dining? Are robes not provided to wear around the facilities?

    The facility does not provide robes complementary. There are robes you can purchase in the front lobby. The facility requires all guests to wear a swimsuit while in all common areas, including the restaurant.

    I would like to do the couples scrub but after the scrub do I get to do everything else for the rest of the day or how long can I use the other amenities?if I purchase 2 day passes 1 for me and my man would we be able to do everything as a couple?

    Yes you can. You can do the scrub and also the amenities. It's an all day pass. I would recommend going early during the week so you can enjoy your time there. The pools are pretty small so if another 3 ppl join it will feel packed. Also I… 

    Is photography allowed?

    They don't indicate "no phones allowed" but you can photograph at your own discretion. I took pictures and no one said anything.

    Does Bathhouse have an social media page?

    They do! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watch/Bathhouse-110409387035439/… 

    For the early bird day pass you can stay as long as you want you just have to check in before 11?

    Hi Sara, yes - check in before 11am gets you a day pass during the week which doesn't have a time restriction. thanks!

    Are there any that are not co-Ed for more comfortability?

    Hi Leo, thanks for reaching out. While our locker rooms are not coed, the rest of our facilities are all coed.

    Hi, Is the Scrub + Admission package including access to the three pools (cold plunge, hot pool,…

    Hi Meah - Yes, an admission includes access to all our public features. Thank you!

    When you have a day pass, can you use spa, then eat, then use spa again?

    Hi Ada, yes you can!

    Will we need to bring our swimsuits?

    Hi there - yes we require bathing suits. We sell bathing suits as well, but most people bring their own.

    Are the saunas and pools co-ed?

    Hi there! Yes they are all coed

She makes sure that you feel comfortable throughout the appointment, informs you about what she is doing and why, and provides encouragement in the tougher sections.

I'm also surprised at how clean it was. They have locker rooms, fresh towels you can exchange whenever you want, and showers everywhere. The women's locker room even had blow dryers. Look, at the price tag of $60, you get a whole day of relaxation. It's worth it. As far as the food is concerned, their sukhariki are great. We had silotka, shashlik, vareniki, salad, and plenty of tea. Everything was good and they even serve complementary strawberry cucumber mint water and it's so good!

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 spa floor is on the third floor of the Howard Hotel, and upon entering--you're promptly greeted by the concierge and a super lush and cooling lobby. When you check in with the clerk in the hallway, (who was super nice btw), you have the option to sign some waivers, but I save some time by signing documents on my phone on the way. 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.

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 is my second time here and I have another great experience! The space is clean, well…read moremaintained and the food is absolutely delicious. We spent about 5 hours here on this trip, but I definitely could have stayed longer. There is a parking lot a block or two down the street, as a treat parking is limited. I definitely would recommend visiting and will continue to return!

    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.
