Thank you for clarifying the design of the tub​. I still don't think floating is for me. If the tub is concave for a reason that I can't complain about it. Your facility was very nice. read more

This space has great, calming energy. The staff were warm and welcoming. I got a microdermabrasion (Groupon) treatment and thought they did a great job - zero skin irritation. read more

Very peaceful and clean environment, the staff are kind and professional. Shower in the sauna room and the privacy makes it super comfortable. read more

I had high hopes for my first float tank experience, and Floating Lotus blew those high expectations away! The facility was clean, the staff was extremely nice, and the float tank experience left me feeling amazing and rejuvenated. I even purchased a future treatment on my way out. read more

What a disappointing experience! I was looking forward to getting the infrared sauna - I had purchased a Groupon for $29.20; the price is $65.00 so I assumed this would be a nice service but was I ever wrong! I had been to Floating Lotus once before about a year or so ago and had the floatation service; it was fine, nothing great but the place is nice and the staff was fine. Yesterday was a completely different experience: I arrived at 2:55 for my 3pm infrared service, was told to TAKE OFF MY SHOES which is fine, I gave the somewhat spacy receptionist my Groupon and after several minutes she says, "oh, you've been here before- you can't use this Groupon, you have to pay the difference between the Groupon price and the $65.00 price." I explained that I never had the infrared service before and the mean girl glared at me and said "it says it on our website!" I explained I purchased a Groupon from the Groupon website but the mean girl wouldn't budge. I said it makes no sense and she said. "I'll get my manager" Long story shorter, the manager said that I can use the Groupon since I had a DIFFERENT service in the past. Mean girl did not apologize and seemed irritated that she was in the wrong. At about 3:20, mean girl takes me upstairs in a huff and shows me to the sauna room- seriously it was so small that one could not comfortably lay down and I'm short! I tried to make the best of it and I tried to lay down but these wooden boards kept falling on me and parts of the walls kept burning me when I inadvertently touched it. After about 20 minutes of a bad claustrophobic experience, I washed in the shower - no hair dryer BTW so be prepared to go out with wet hair in the cold, and the manager asked me if I liked the service and I told her exactly what I thought about the mean girl and that that set the stage for the experience. I then asked the manager what the girl's name is and the manager, looking frightened and stunned, said that she didn't know what I meant- she was clearly terrified of mean girl, so I asked the girl myself what her name is and she said, "EMMA" glaring indifferently at me. The manager, whispers , "let's discuss this in the elevator." She (the manager) said her name is Ricky and that the girl (Emma) gets yelled at by everyone using a Groupon which is why she behaved in such a manner - what has that got to do with me? I never yelled at EMMA , I just wanted a nice professional experience. I then told Ricky that the wood boards kept falling on me and she said, "I know, we're getting all new saunas" Well, then why not shut them down until they are safe? Ricky was young, nervous and clearly not trained enough but she was pleasant at least. Why would this establishment keep a clearly nasty girl like EMMA there. I wont be back! read more

Sometimes I think that I should just be selfish and keep this place to myself! Yup, it's THAT great, and I am very picky. What's really amazing is that it is only two blocks away from where I live and yet I never knew about it until I saw it on Groupon. I bought the Groupon deal for 30 days of yoga and, unlike many places that treat Groupon customers like second-class citizens, I was welcomed warmly. There are only a few yoga classes offered each day, but the instructors are all topnotch and really nice too. I have practiced yoga for the past nine years and have gone to many different yoga studios in the city. None have the beauty or charm of this studio, which is small but cozy and warm, with a glass skylight roof that adds to the ambience. Best yet, they don't charge you for a loaner yoga mat in the event that you forgot YOUR mat, which is something I also appreciate. In addition to offering yoga, Floating Lotus also offers facials, massages, laser hair removal, acupuncture and two flotation rooms. When you come for the first time, you are offered a deal to purchase whatever the monthly specials are (three or four different spa services, offered at a substantially reduced price). The place is immaculately maintained and the reception staff are all very nice. read more

This place used to be good. However, recently the quality went down a lot after they lost a few people, and they have had consistent scheduling problems. I have been rescheduled three times in a row on my facial appointment. Each time 2 days prior to the appointment. And every time the appointment has been pushed out to a month out. This has been very frustrating since one is supposed to be sticking to a schedule of facials. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Floating Lotus. Going in, I wasn't sure what to expect as I've never done the Salt Cave treatment before. Upon arrival, I was given a thorough overview of my visit and the treatments, as well as the tour of the spa. It's beautiful, peaceful and welcoming. The décor and ambience are very relaxing, everyone speaks softly and is very respectful of everyone else's experience. The staff is very helpful and friendly and it's clear they love what they do. I also loved the privacy of the treatments and the late hours are definitely helpful to not feel rushed. Before leaving the spa I purchased 2 other treatments and just scheduled my appointments. I am very much looking forward to coming back, and possibly also trying out their yoga/meditation classes. Highly recommend Floating Lotus! read more

Beautiful experience in all aspects. Float room is fantastic. Owners and employees are very nice, helpful, and well organized. read more

I hate leaving this establishment one star but there are some really funky things that Yelpers should know about my experience here. First let me start off by saying the staff is accommodating & the space is cool with a zen vibe. They have great tea offered in the waiting area. I came here for a floating session. I was given a mini tour & everything was explained to me. The room was perfectly set up with toiletries & a great shower. I wished there was some music but no worries I had my phone. I showered & settled into the tub. The temperature was good & it really was tranquil. A little water got into my mouth & holy hell it was bitter!! I went to sit up & as I put my hand on the side of the tub there was a rim of slimy gross residue. I inspected the whole tub just to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me. Let me tell you guys there was a gross dirty film along the water line around the whole tub. I freaked out & bolted the hell out of there!!! Upon my rushed exit the front desk girl prompted me to tell her what went wrong. I did tell her & she told me it was cleaned this morning & offered me a free session to accommodate. Now here is the disconnect for me: it is a nice size tub but not huge, so I personally think it should be drained & cleaned after every individual especially if they are charging $150! Secondly you better believe I am NOT coming back for another floating session, however I find the space charming & perhaps would try a different service. It was a no go for me, but the concept is great and I can see how it could be a very pleasant experience. read more

Great, fast service and prompt answers to all questions. Attention to detail. Made you feel comfortable and always suggest services that you'll benefit from! read more

Staff was very polite and thoughtful. The place was very clean. I really enjoyed my experience there!

Jill was beyond amazing! She understood all my needs, accommodated me, prioritized my skin, and my well being due to my personal needs and made sure everything was 100% safe and made great recommendations to help me out with my skin concerns. It was the best interaction I have had with a facialist and I can't wait to keep on coming back! read more

My treatment that I had was amazing for my first time, my skin was smooth and glowing afterwards. The person that worked on me was very professional and helpful. The front desk associate was also very informative...I booked 4 more sessions and purchased some cream before I left. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Love the tranquility and peacefulness of this spa. Its super clean, the staff is nice and the services are wonderful and well priced. Great place for a facial, had microdermabrasion with Arielle and she was wonderful, will def be going back! read more

The place is really relaxing and the facilities were very clean. I wish there was an option to listen to meditation music while in the sensory deprivation float tank. Would visit again! read more

It was my first time doing a float session and I was definitely not disappointed. The ambience is what you would expect, calming. Chelsea at the front desk was immediately friendly and gave me the full explanation of what to expect when I told her it was my first time. They certainly hire the right people to do the job. She was awesome! Once in the room, I spent my hour in complete sensory deprivation. It is hard to describe but my advice would be not to go in with expectations. Also, try to keep your eyes open long enough to forget your eyes are open (it is completely dark). Overall an excellent experience and one that I would recommend. read more

What a serene space. You enter a private room with hair and body products, towels, a rain shower and the rectangular like tub. You first shower to remove any lotions, etc and then you enter the adjacent pod which feels like a grotto. The lights in the room are off and a gentle green light is on in the grotto like space. Once you settle in and float, you can shut the light so you're completely in the dark which I recommend. Between the dark and the earplugs which you put in before showering, your left in a warm womb like space and you just breathe and float letting thoughts flow in and out of you. I left feeling relaxed in mind and body. I look forward to another session. read more

Natalia is a well-educated esthetician with passion for her work and takes great care of clients needs

Great place, very clean and the personnel very helpful and well informed. I will highly recommend the place and the floating experience!

I found Floating Lotus through a Living Social deal and I will definitely be returning! I was looking for a a float spa in the city and this one was highly rated. The space is really nice and clean and the floating room itself is gorgeous. The staff were very helpful and thorough guiding me through the process of how the float session works, and after my session when I wanted tour of the space, the staff was glad to show me around. Plus, for first time clients, you are eligible for more AMAZING discounts on future services! I wound up purchasing 3 more float sessions with significant savings! This is an excellent demonstration of customer service and a great way to keep people coming back for regular self-care. I'm glad I found my floating spa! read more

This place is amazing. I had booked a floating session for myself and a friend. I had floated before but that was years ago so I was excited and a bit nervous, but Joel and Jackie immediately made us feel at home. The atmosphere was warm, calm, natural, and super welcoming, and the float rooms are really nice - a far cry from the pods I had used before (of course once you're inside and the light is off your surroundings don't really matter, but the whole before-and-after was very nice). A fantastically relaxing break from everyday life. I would recommend this place to anyone, and can't wait to go back! read more

My Deep Cleansing facial with Ariana in the fall through Groupon was fantastic! She used a great gentle mix of products that effectively cleared my clogged summer pores. Also the extraction part wasn't painful at all and was done entirely by hand, which I really appreciated. Thank you!! read more

I started out at the Floting Lotus about a month and a half ago. I started the sensory deprivation tank. It quickened my healing time on my injury in my lower back. I hadn't been able to sit, stand or walk for 4 months. I started to get the sessions twice a week. They worked out a great deal with me to help me through this challenging and painful time. There were many benefits that I felt. First I had an hour of complete meditation and relaxation. Helped ease my anxiety and made me feel less hopeless about my medical situation of being temporarily partially paralyzed. I also noticed within 3 weeks, going twice a week that the speed of the injury recovery was so much faster. After each session I'd feel a tad sore because the treatments softened my muscles and there are some benefits neurologicaly as well. I can walk and sit again at ease..I'm standing better but continuing with my sessions now going once a week. I have started going to the gym again. My physical therapy said this was great and at this point I hardly needed it. I can't explain how I feel about having this help me and give me my life back. At the time that I started this therapy all others forms only caused pain. I tried everything. The sensory deprivation tank sped my recovery time up so much. I noticed a huge difference by the 2nd week. Jackie really helped me create a feasible budget and this may have saved me. This was a great experience for me.. Thanks Floting Lotus for helping me heal a horrendous debilitating injury without having to go through with surgery. Thank you, Anna Magdalena h. read more

I loved the layout of the floating room, everything you need (the float tub, shower, a place to put your belongings, and lovely toiletries) all in the same room. It put the experience really in your control and I liked that. Clean facilities and helpful and kind staff. I booked two more while I was still there! read more

Floating Lotus really is a beautiful oasis in the heart of busy midtown Manhattan. The minute you walk in, you can sense the heart and soul that has gone into creating it. It has a warm, friendly and inviting atmosphere that is completely unpretentious. The facial I received was one of the best that I've experienced. I highly recommend them. read more

I tried the one hour flotation therapy for the first time on Sunday and was overall very pleased. The staff were both kind and helpful, and the facility was clean. The experience itself is obviously subjective but I enjoyed it and would definitely try again. read more

After my first time visiting Floating Lotus through a groupon, I've definetly decided to become a client. I loved the facilities,the energy of the place, and was also very pleased to see that the staff is super nice, no matter if you're a groupon first time user or a regular client. I highly recomment it! read more

I love this place. Absolutely unique yoga approach. I enjoyed Mon class, and Movement class was also very interesting. The instructions have been very friendly and suggested modifications -- thank you! read more

My deep cleansing facial with Natalia was wonderful! She was very attentive and showed she cared about the health of my skin. Highly recommend! read more

Floating Lotus provides a unique and peaceful space to practice yoga in the city. The instructors have been caring and knowledgeable regarding modifications during my pregnancy. read more

I have a bad back and the instructor couldn't have been more concerned or gentler. She helped me with the poses and watched to make sure I was in a good position so I wouldn't hurt myself. It was my first class and I'm not very flexible but I felt very comfortable and welcomed. It's in a great location, the space is beautiful with a glass ceiling. It's a lovely experience and I will be going back. I highly recommend it. read more

The first time I went and was taken for a tour, I felt very welcomed. It was a place I would visit again. The next day I went for my first appointment. While I waited, I was able to read,relax and enjoy the quiet, pleasant aroma and relaxing environment. I would recommend floating lotus if you are looking for a pleasant and welcoming experience.. read more

This review is long overdue. I actually had my first appt on July 4th after I bought 2 deep cleansing facial on groupon. I made my appt with Angel although she is really busy so its hard getting appointment with her. It actually took me a month wait before I got to see her but she was so worth the wait. The owner was really nice when I got there and took me on a tour while I waited. They offered free tea and water in the reception area. On to the actual facial and she was so good. The facial itself was actually very relaxing. But the massage at the end was probably the best part. I love that when she puts on the mask at the end, she uses that time to get you a shoulder massage. She explains everything as she goes but she wasn't overly chatty. She also explained the products she used but did not push me to buy any of it. Angel gave me samples of the products she used so that I can try it out for myself before I buy it. The products that she used are actually made just for their spa so it is not products you can find in the store or online (except their website.) Angel also followed up with me after the facial to see how my skin was doing. After my second facial on Aug 23rd, I ended up buying 5 additional facial for a very reasonable price. I also ended up purchasing the cleaners, and serum from her. I am definitely a fan of Floating Lotus and will be back for my next facial. read more

I went to Floating Lotus twice for the flotation therapy. The first time was great, it's very clean and has a great atmosphere. The second time, a red light in the room was on the ENTIRE hour (which if you don't know flotation therapy is all about sensory deprivation.) I spent the first twenty minutes of my session trying to find a switch in the room to turn the light off. After it was over, I told the staff about this after my session and they told me to email. Then went to check out and the service was $65 more than my first session, which I now understand was a first timers session, but I was not told that over the phon. I emailed a very long email to the address they gave me and never heard back. I don't often complain and I wasn't looking for something in return, but to not hear back at all was pretty inconsiderate. They lost an almost loyal customer because I did enjoy the vibes there but the price is too high for it to be inefficient. read more

I tried the 30 minute infrared sauna session. It's located in a small room with a shower, sink, towels and plenty of toileties. It was a perfect ending to a long day at work. I will be returning soon. read more

Floating lotus is the full service experience-friendly staff, prime location, and beautiful setting that places value on a superior customer service experience. I highly recommend anyone who wants to have a floating experience to come here. I also combined it with the salt sauna which was incredible as well. I hope to take the yoga classes at some point too because the studio looks amazingly peaceful. Thank you so much Jackie, Amanda, Selena and the floating lotus team to give me the relaxing experience I needed during a time of extreme stress! read more

I had a great time at Floating lotus. All the staff was very friendly. The beautician take good care of my skin. It was my first microdermabrasion but must say that my brown skin scares look already lighter and the general shape of my face better. It will surely take several sessions but I can see that it is going to work on me. Very good location , just closed to Central Park. highly recommend this spa!!! read more

The Floating Lotus space is wonderful! Taking s yoga class under the glass ceiling and seeing the stars was magical and the teacher (Payal Perekh ) fantastic! I'll be back for more classes and floating at this one-stop holistic wonderland! read more

I wish I read the reviews on floating before I came here. The spa itself has a great review, but if you scroll through and read the comments on flotation then you would know NOT TO COME HERE. Let me start with the worst part of it all. The jets were running the ENTIRE TIME making it sound like extremely loud running water. I couldn't concentrate or lose my senses because of this loud running water. I ended up leaving the tank after 20 minutes which is about 19 minutes longer than I should have stayed. The receptionist asked me why I left early and I explained that the jets were running and it was too loud to concentrate. She responded and said the jets were only supposed to be on at he very beginning and the very end of the float!!!! Which means my tub was DEFECTIVE. However! After basically telling me my tub was broken, she didn't offer any solution or reimbursement. I said "it was so loud and I couldn't concentrate" and she says "..yeah.." End of conversation. I plan on contacting the owners of the spa for my full money back and if they don't give it to me I will apply for a fraudulent credit card transaction and alert them to the BBB. Some other negatives and red flags that I wish I listed to before I wasted my time and money here... They give you no information beforehand on what to expect or how to prepare. I had to look at websites of other floatation companies to learn about the process. Additionally, the whole thing seems ridiculously unsanitary. The tub feels like a warm dirty pool of water that others have bathed in naked. I'm legitimately concerned that I contracted something from this experience. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
