There I was! Jet lagged and needing recovery!…read more I stumbled onto this Thai Massage place. GREAT massage using tiger balm and very strong pressure as requested. Price was amazing as was the massage. Don't let her size fool you. Tavi is very technically affluent and can find the knots. Totally legit massage....no funny business. If that's your thing go somewhere else.

Services rendered: One-hour deep tissue massage…read more Pros: 1) I was able to get a one-hour massage through their online booking calendar, which was quite handy. 2) Their website is great since they have mini-biographies of all of the massage therapists. I was able to read a little bit about mine. 3) I was assigned to Jason, who gave one of the most effective deep tissue massages I've ever had. I told him how sore I was, and he worked my neck and shoulders very well. 4) Jason was very communicative and professional. I will ask for him again when I go back. 5) The facilities were very clean. Cons: None. Summary: I decided to take a chance on a cheaper massage place in the heart of Helsinki, and it was a major success. I highly recommend this place.

We made appointments for the next day thru the Facebook message app. We still don't know why we only got 60 minutes when we always do 90 but it was still wonderful. They really helped get the kinks out & helped w/ all the knots we had from traveling. We highly recommend the Chiva Thai Spa for working out the kinks.

I told her I don't care what the person looks like, I just need reflexology because my feet were KiILLING me. She stood in the room while I undressed to my underware (yes, this is weird, but I'm a mom so I'm not shy) the lady leaves and a young guy comes in. He asks if I like hard or medium. He starts walking on my back. Then starts massaging me way too hard. I say "stop too hard" several times, but he didn't understand, and was almost bruising me. The massage was okay most of the time, but when it became super painful, it wasn't good or relaxing. He never rubbed my feet, which was the reason I went for a massage. Part of the massage was good, and it helped me feel better, but really I needed reflexology, not a torture hour. The experience was strange.

It gets really busy so if you want to ensure a place in their heavenly warmth get there early (especially on weekends). You can bring your own drinks (beer is the choice of a true Finn).

I love this place. Where else you can sit naked downtown on the street after a good sauna? The…read morevisitors are a friendly mix of long time local regulars and foreigners. Towels and sauna seat covers can be rented at location. There's also a fridge for your beers. The place can be very crowded, so if you want a more peaceful experience, come early and avoid Friday and especially Saturday. Note: at the moment they accept cash only - so remember to visit an ATM.

Probably the worst facial I've ever had. The facial lady literally rubbed my eye lids with cream…read moreand my under eyes which you are not meant to do and I feel like any one in the beauty industry knows that. She also patted my face instead of massaging it. So over priced for such a poor quality facial.

This SPA survives for sure just thanks to unaware tourists since they completely lack in competence…read morebut not in greed. I booked a pedicure+head massage and a full-body massage. The pedicure was very low quality: the lady put my feet in water and went off the room for 20 minutes instead of giving me the head-massage. During the body massage I felt they were just taking away the dust and not massaging at all. During the WHOLE time the lady kept asking if I wanted to buy this and that product... yeah, very relaxing, thank you. This whole experience for the humble price of 220 euros. Uh-uh, no thank you.
