I visited during the months Centralbadet's original location was under construction and as such the…read moretreatments available were limited. The inner space had a very calm vibe and I enjoyed my head and foot massage, but would have liked more neck work and less facial, as I assumed scalp massage would be a larger part of the treatment and not just 30 seconds of dry frictioning. Since the options were limited, I wasn't able to book treatments I would have gone with and didn't love the oil and lotion being left on me at the end of the massage, but I enjoyed the red light mask, cold gua sha, and foot massage and my masseuse was incredibly friendly and personable. Overall I liked the experience, but it was difficult to book online and I'm not sure I'd recommend visiting until all their treatments are available and the space is a bit more luxurious.

Centralbadet truly is an oasis in the middle of the city. While here, you can leave the hustle and…read morebustle of the world behind for a little while. The energy is quiet and mindful. The surroundings are historic and gorgeous. The saunas are plentiful, the pool area is relaxing, and just for a few hours, you don't have to do anything except exist. I'll admit that was difficult for me at first, but wonderful once my nervous system caught up. Bring a book and read in one of the little nooks surrounding the pool. Breathe deeply in the herbal sauna or bask in the glow of the infrared one. Enjoy the roman baths, or book a treatment for the ultimate relaxation experience. Whatever you choose to do, do not miss a chance to visit. You will love it.

Toaletterna: under all kritik, saknas ofta toalettpapper, luktar illa/kiss, går inte att spola, finns ingen tvål Gymmet: Bra utrustning för både cardio och styrketräning/muskelbyggande, men ofta flera i personalen som står och hänger i gymmet och gör ingenting utöver att stirra på de som tränar, man känner sig iakttagen och blir störd i sin träning. En obekväm och trist upplevelse. Har man tränat här ett tag så vet man nog exakt vad jag menar, tyvärr. Utöver detta är det ofta förekommande barn och ungdomar (skolklasser?) som "provar på" träningsanläggningen utan vuxen uppsyn. När detta sker är det väldigt frustrerande att träna då varje maskin/redskap blir taget. Att de oftast inte har vuxen uppsyn är under all kritik då de kan skada sig själva och utrustningen. Duscharna: är helt OK dom med, bör rengöras lite oftare.

Biggest swimming pool in Stockholm. There is one 25m pool,…read moreone 50m, a recreational area and two outdoor pools in the summer. It's preferably to come at unusual hours because it gets really crowded. Check also the schedule of the swimming pool on their website, since it's the national arena there's often professionnal swimmers training then you can't access the 50m pool. Jacuzzi are often overcrowded, and not so fresh.. use at your own risk ^^ Hammam and sauna available in locker rooms. Cheers

I thoroughly enjoyed the Grand Hôtel Nordic Spa & Fitness. When you check in, you'll get flip…read moreflops, a robe and disposable underoos if you're getting a massage. Treatments: I got a classic Swedish massage, which was really relaxing. I had just finished listening to the Moth podcast about Russian massages, which can be bonecrushing. So I was a little nervous. However, my massager was strong, but gentle. I was relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Totally recommend it! I also got a mani/pedi with varnish. I didn't realize that either you get no nail polish, or they sell you the nail polish bottle! It was a funny surprise to get some nail polish to go! The Day Spa is free with any treatment, so I stayed from 9am to 4pm, and emerged glowing and joyful! Facilities: They have fantastic facilities. They were really clean - their staff were constantly cleaning and refreshing towels, water, fresh apples and slices of orange. Coed area: They have a beautiful little pool, hot tub with bubbles and a waterfall, steam room. In the women's area, they have a sauna, freezing cold pool with a waterfall, spacious changing room with big lockers. They also have lots of showers, WCs and extra towels, flip flops and lotions and soaps. Loved it! Fitness Bar: They also have a fitness bar upstairs, complete with smoothies and a food menu. Tip: wear real clothes, not your robe. Also, call the phone in there if there's nobody there to serve you. I got confused by all the members serving themselves, and wondered if they were staff members who were just ignoring me! Turns out, I should have just called downstairs. Fun Times: When most people left around 3pm, I had fun playing with all the buttons Harry Potter style, to turn on waterfalls and bubbles in the in the pool and hot tubs. Most of the time, there were people in each area on a Sunday. However, I noticed that there was a slight dip around 2-4, but more people were coming in around 4 when I left. Staff: The staff were all really friendly, polite and helpful. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and sometimes I don't get the best response. But in this case, they were quite happy I chatted them up, and even offered me some tips for where to visit in Stockholm. Reservations: I emailed them 3 days before I arrived and they offered me their only reservation for the Sunday I requested. They even called me later to say that they had two back-to-back openings open up for the other treatments I requested. They emailed back promptly and answered all my questions. Prices: I found the prices to be fair considering it's in the middle of Stockholm and in such a nice hotel. Final Verdict: This has been one of my favorite spas because it's quiet, clean and not overrun with tourists. Their staff is professional and friendly.

I had to have a Swedish massage while in Sweden! Is it really a trip to Sweden without one (and…read moremaybe some meatballs!)? I of course took to Yelp to find the best place to do this. Definitely found the right one! This was a magical experience. The hotel is beautiful, and just screams luxury. I checked in early, because I wanted to have some extra time in the wet areas, and not feel rushed. Everyone was friendly, and I was greeted with a robe, flip flops, and a locker to place my items. The pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub, and cold plunge were all fantastic additions to prepare me for my massage. The massage was wonderful (it was a guy, which at first made me nervous but turned out great), and I left feeling completely relaxed. I did mine in the evening, which was perfect because I was able to shower and go straight to bed! My only complaint would be that it was quite warm in there, so I did sweat, but who doesn't want all the toxins out of your body?! Especially after all the lovely wine and mead on my vacation!
