I had a 1 hour deep tissue massage with JJ and she was the best! The location was easy to find, warm and welcoming. 10/10, great price. Ask for JJ. Will definitely be back! read more

Located very close to Herald Square, very easy to get to. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were given a paper to fill out, basic contact information and preference of the intensity of the massage, type of massages, and concerned areas. We booked a couple massage which was done in the same room for $280 for an hour. The room has a home-y feel to it, the lighting is dim, the scent is clean, and the music is soothing. Overall, the atmosphere of the place is very relaxing. read more

Wonderful experience at the E 43rd St location. I made a last minute appointment because I found myself with some free time and they were easily able to accommodate me. The location is in an unassuming office building, but the staff was very friendly and room itself was outfitted perfectly... but the massage by Teddy was the highlight. It was maybe one of the best deep tissue massages I've had. Strong, but not painful. Very therapeutic for my lower back and behind my shoulder blades, which was exactly where I asked him to focus. He checked in repeatedly throughout to make adjustments to the pressure as needed, but overall it was a 20 out of 10! Will definitely be back next time i'm in NYC. read more

Great Thai spa with a very effective massage. The therapist used strong, therapeutic pressure that really relieved deep tension. The scalp massage was especially excellent--both relaxing and targeted. Perfect if you want a powerful, results-focused treatment. Will visit again. read more

Great service and skilled staff. The massage helped release muscle tension and I felt much better afterward. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because the scheduling system could be more convenient. read more

The staff was welcoming, and the room had a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. The four-hands massage was truly exceptional an experience worth every moment. I left completely relaxed and already thinking about booking my next session. read more

This is one of the best massages I've ever had! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Great traditional Thai massage with stretching that made me feel relaxed and eased my muscle tension. Will definitely be a regular here! read more

I went for a deep tissue massage and had a wonderful experience.The ambiance was very pleasant and they always made sure l was comfortable! I would definitely recommend read more

I got the deep tissue massage after getting several Charley horse cramps in my calves and thighs, and no amount of stretching helped it out. It hurt to even stretch or self-massage that area. I found this place on Yelp so I went in, filled out the paperwork and asked the therapist to focus on calves and shoulders and after, it was much better - no pain when walking or stretching, and I felt much looser. read more

Not terrible. Not great. I've had deep tissues massages before but unfortunately, I did not walk out feeling stretched, relaxed, or womanhandled. By the time I got to the lobby, my body felt no different than when I walked in. My masseuse spent the better half of the massage talking about her kids, her family, and some other masseuse she worked with who went on vacation. At one point she paused the massage to show me pictures on her phone. Someone knocked on the door and interrupted the session to communicate with her. After voicing her shock, I *believe* she texted them to let them know she was inside. The phone vibrated a few times, which I felt, so I suspect it was on the massage table. I also had to pay for the massage before the session. When she got to the tip page, she was barely a foot away so I felt pressured to tip well, which I succumbed to, hoping it would work in my favor. I was wrong. For reference - male, former prof. dancer, athletic, NYC 20+ years, get a massage maybe once a year. read more

The massage was really good. The atmosphere welcoming. It was quiet and the lighting was perfect. I would definitely go back.

I just a facial and massage from Alin. She was amazing, spa itself look clean. Receptionist was very friendly and welcome. Definitely recommend this place . And I 'll back again read more

Believe the hype on this one. Don't let the location deter you from the best massage this side of the Hudson. The staff here is so kind and really so attentive. They immediately knew who I was when I walked in, offered me water, a bathroom visit before we began. I had the pleasure of being massaged by Sue. We went through a Thai combination massage which was heavenly. Within 5 minutes a massive crack could be heard from my upper back. Thai massages stretch you every which way and require body pressure from the masseuse, but it is well worth it despite its obscurity. Once I was done, I felt so light, I swayed. I wanted to sleep. In a haze I ended up walking two blocks in the wrong direction. But totally worth it. read more

Note: accepts spafinder not spa and wellness giftcards. I made an appointment for a 60 minutes sports massage with an option to increase to 90 minutes dependent on whether the masseuse thought I needed it. After you enter the location, you walk into the common room where you are asked to change out of your shoes and into a pair of slippers. They give you a cup of tea to enjoy before your massage. I was shown to a private room. There are 2 other rooms with 2 beds for couple massages. It was nice to find the bed was slightly heated. Tran (if I remember correctly) helped me with my knots though it felt more like a deep tissue massage more than a sports massage. Before you ask how I know, I had sports massages previously so I know the difference. She helped me with my knots and aches so I was fine though next time if I go again I will go with the deep tissue instead of sport massages, which are more expensive. There was relaxing music playing in the background so its easy to fall halfway asleep. I felt relaxed though I still have knots remaining and might have to come back. Afterwards, they have me a cup of warm water to flush out the toxins. They accepted credit cards. Cute place though the non-descriptive door might be confusing if you ring the door and no one answer. Give it a few minutes and ring the doorbell again. read more

It was horrible. She literally stood on my back and rubbed me with her feet. 0/10 experience felt better BEFORE massage

Received a gift card as a gift and finally got to use it! My boyfriend and I went for a couples massage and it was amazing from as soon as we walked into until after the massage. We received small bottle of Prosecco to share and nice chocolates plus a cute Instagram photo moment. Then the massage room was decorated so nicely. The massage was the right amount of pressure as I requested and didn't massage my head as requested. It was a very good massage. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! Highly recommend. Best massage I've had. Super clean and welcoming place.

I REALLY enjoyed my massage here! The masseuse knew what she was doing when we requested relaxing massages! The service is really patient and friendly, we ended up being a few min late and they ensured this did not have us miss part of any experience! Next time I'll likely ask for a deep tissue massage, to concentrate on knots and painful areas versus a more relaxing surface massage, which is also a great option! read more

Charl was the best masseuse ever! He did his best to remove my stress and I actually fell asleep on the table, I never do that! We found this place because they were the closest spa that took our Spa Finder gift card (20 minutes away) but regardless, i will definitely be back. read more

I am shocked, upset, disheartened, enraged and a slew of other adjectives that capture my disgust after your rebuttal to my wife's review on Mother's Day. I booked my wife's appointment last night past your work hours. While it was a late booking, it was confirmed and nowhere on the booking email does it say that the massage couldn't be paid for by the card provided at booking. I've attached your confirmation receipt for reference. You replied to my wife claiming you spoke to me. We did not. You replied to my wife that I refused to provide an additional card. You did not. Your confirmation email is nothing other than a receipt, and while it shows a balance was outstanding, it does not stipulate the physical card would need to be present at the time of transaction. As a new client and possible repeat user of your spa, I'm astonished that you didn't attempt to apologize or even seek out further clarity on the matter. To point the finger at myself immediately, as I was only trying to gift my wife a relaxing experience on Mother's Day is really disappointing. We were looking forward to utilizing your spa continuously, but integrity matters and we cannot do business with liars or unfair business people. I hope you reflect on this and make changes in your policy to reward and encourage paying customers, as well as provide clarity and accountability to all your clients. We will not be using your services or recommending other to in the future. Update: I added an additional photo regarding your reply to my review. It seems you are continuing to lie even though you have been in business for 5 years now. My issues aren't around the service. At this point, it is too late to get the experience back I was trying to create for Mother's Day. My main concern at this point, is the way you are choosing to continue to lie in this review. You never called me. I booked the appointment on Sunday night (5/14) past midnight. My wife's appointment was at 10am on Monday morning (5/15). Even though your hours of operation on the site says 11-8. I'm sure you were open by 10am. When did you call me and ask me for another card in between last night when I booked the appointment and this morning when my wife arrived? Please be specific. read more

My sister and I booked a couples hot stone massage therapy session (60 min) and it was amazing!! The place is beautiful and relaxing when you first enter.

Great spot! The massage really helped with the stiffness and pain I was coming in with.

This massage place made my boyfriend ask me out. We came for a couple massage because there were no places in the entire state of New York with an opening for 2 individual massages. By the end of it my now boyfriend asked me out, we just came back a year later for our one year anniversary! Only downside is I wish they would have taken a Polaroid of us again like the first time so we could add it to our collection. read more

I had an aromatherapy combination massage. Rosalyn did a great job massaging my problem areas. She identified that I keep a lot of stress in my shoulders and lower back, partially from my desk job. She even advised as to some stretches I should do to help loosen me up. I have been coming to GCB regularly and every massage therapist I have had has gone above and beyond. They really are worth every penny. Very highly recommended! read more

Good all around experience! Had christy as a massage therapist, and she was great. This is one of those places that's in an odd building location. The space was perfectly okay. Very clean, and clear they make an effort to make the experience a good one. To be clear, this is somewhat of a no frills location, so if you're here for a high end experience this isn't quite that. Come here for a solid massage, go somewhere else for the luxury lounge. read more

This was such a beautiful experience. They were so accommodating and kind. I was running late after a snow storm and looking for parking and they showed no signs of aggravation or annoyance. They welcomed us with a warm energy and had champagne and chocolate waiting for us. We took a cute couple picture, courtesy of the spa and then we're taken to our room. It was truly relaxing and the massage hit all of the spots I had requested needed attention. I would definitely recommend and return! read more

Excellent massage, friendly staff, and left feeling so refreshed! Will definitely be returning. Highly recommend grand central bodywork - fantastic massage place in NYC! read more

This place was really cute but hard to find when you first come in. It's inside a building on the 3rd or 4th floor, I forget, but it was hidden on 29th ave. When you first walk in, you're greeted by two very lovely ladies who were so friendly and helpful. The entire place, although small, was very quaint and clean and had soothing, relaxing vibes all throughout. My boyfriend and I got the couple's massage. It was a bit pricey, but it came with chocolates, a champagne toast, and complimentary polaroid photo at the end. We both felt light as feathers after and we were never rushed to leave the room when enjoying our champagne. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who was looking for a massage to treat themselves. Self care!! Price: 3/5 Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

Only good things to say about Grand Central Bodywork. The waiting room and massage rooms are beautiful and put you at ease as soon as you get there. I had Teddy, who was great. He was very intuitive and checked in to make sure everything was good throughout. Definitely will be back! read more

I got my first massage ever with Freya and my experience was amazing. She and the receptionist were very professional and made me feel comfortable from check-in to check-out. If you're nervous about getting your first massage, I'd highly recommend starting your journey at Grand Central Bodywork! read more

The staff was very welcoming and friendly upon arrival. The massage was great. The room felt slightly cold when she used the hot towel to remove oil residue. The checkout system is horrible. My husband booked the massage with his card as a gift for me for Mother's Day. The credit card was only to HOLD the reservation and the same card cannot pay for the service. I've never heard of a system that does that. They explained they've experience fraud. So they said next time buy a gift card to pay for services. I asked if she could process the gift card for me with my husbands card, she couldn't do that. His card wouldn't not allow me to add it to my Apple Pay. I ended up paying for the massage with my card because no cards could be entered manually. I needed the actual physical card. This checkout system ruined the whole experience for me. It's suppose to be a gift and at the end they were asking me for payment. I was confused. The same card to make the reservation should be able to pay for services. They need a better UPDATED system. Updated: I never spoke with anyone on the phone nor did my husband about this issue. The receptionist called someone while I was there trying to see how I could make a payment, speaking in another language so I have no idea they were speaking about. The owner is lying in her reply. She clearly does not care to show any remorse about this issue but continue to lie and make up stories about that is matter. It must clearly be an issue of color to be treated this way as if our review doesn't matter and make up lies that never even happened! This is sad!!!! read more

First time getting a massage here and I love it! The place looks clean and the staff are friendly. I'm a very tense person and I have knots in my shoulders and neck. Thanks to Vicky; my shoulders and neck feel less tight. Definitely would come back next time! read more

I get a fair amount of massages and I can say that this is easily one of the best I've had this year, if not all time. The place was welcoming, clean, and relaxing from the start. The massage itself was pure perfection. Rose really impressed me with how in sync she was with my body and needs. She hit on all the points I needed and at the perfect pressure and cadence. I left feeling a lot better than when I came in. Will definitely be going back here. read more
