Other than that, it's just women all day errday. I got the exfoliating scrub and massage. It was one of the best add-ons I could have asked for -- especially that massage! I feel like the massages in Germany are much different compared to that of the US? There's somewhat of a physiotherapy approach that you would find more or less at a clinic in the USA. Anyway, you can bring your own bathing suit or go around nekked. It's up to you, it's a judgment free zone and those Germans are very accepting of everyone you know! You're given a locker, and you can choose to get some towels and sandals for a small fee. There's also a shower, a dry sauna, wet sauna, and cooling room. I pretty much did everything I could in the 3 hours paid for. After you are done, dressed, and return your things (if you rented anything that is), you can relax in the front area with some Turkish tea. I slept sooo good that night. Can't wait to go back!

I love the idea of German Saunas. It's relaxing and feels amazing. And the Germans have absolutely…read moreno problem enjoying this while being naked with members of the opposite sex. I really appreciate that. They really don't see anything sexual about the experience. The sauna on Schoenhauser was known as a "wellness lounge". You enter the facility, and you are given a key to a locker, and a towel. You go into your gender's changing room, strip down completely and put your clothing in a locker, emerging with only a towel. From there, you wander into one of the saunas, placing the towel on the wooden seat. Forget the towel, and you'll most certainly be corrected by one of the attendees of the proper protocol. Germans are very polite, but they won't hesitate to tell you when you are breaking the rules. If you are lucky, you'll get to experience the Aufguss ritual, in which an attendant will come into the sauna once everyone is seated, pour water on the hot stones to create steam, and then expertly whip a towel around to hit each person in the face with the hot steam. I'll never understand the point of the ritual, just that it appears to be an essential part of the Germany experience, and I didn't want to deny myself this experience. An hour later I leave the wellness lounge, fully refreshed and warmed up - the hangover from last night now a distant memory.

I started out with a massage (which was interesting because I don't speak any German and the massage therapist didn't speak any English!). Needless to say, the massage wasn't the best ever since I couldn't really tell the massage therapist what I wanted. The actual main room with the saltwater pool is pretty cool. There are pool noodles there to grab and then you float on them and listen to the chill music being piped in to the pool. I took one star off because I didn't like that I had to pay extra to borrow towels and a bathrobe while I was there. It was a unique experience at the Liquidrom and I really liked going there to relax in the large pool!

I am back in Berlin for the week and decided to treat myself to a few spa experiences. During my…read moreresearch I honed in on 2 spas in particular (and I'll write a review for both) - Liquidrom and Vabali. I went to Vabali first, and Liquidrom second. Liquidrom: The pool is within a quick walk from the U Bahn. It's a cool building (though the spikes belong to Tempodrom, not the pool portion). Upon checking in and getting changed in the locker room, I felt like it was basic, but functional. Their shower gel in the showers is nothing special or premium, but it works. Once showered, you enter a long hallway. And this is where the confusion begins. There is not a lot to do here. It's bizarrely disjointed since it's partially clothed partially nude. The clothed portion is the salt water pool. This is what you're paying €22.50 for 2 hours for. It's one pool (and I guess a tiny outside pool to sit in, but you'll mingle with nude people from the spa, if you're expecting to stay clothed). I think this whole space would make a lot more sense if they don't upcharge you for the spa, but make it one holistic no clothing experience for the full pool and spa. The pool itself is decent. It's moody with LED lighting and music playing. But it's not really that big. And it's circular, so I am not really sure what you're supposed to do here for 2 hours. It's the only thing you've payed for (other than optional massages and whatnot). Anyway, over to the Spa I went. €2.50 upcharge (once) and you're in through the turnstiles. And again I am confused. Where are you supposed to put your swim trunks? There are open lockers, but I saw a few people schlep their garments around all the time. In the spa. you have 4 saunas. 2 of which are pretty nice (the Aufguss Sauna at 90c and the Kräutersauna (I forgot the temp). The other two are a steam room and a 60c salt room (that I found to be kinda useless. It was not warm enough really to do anything). I was able to join one infusion in the Aufguss sauna, and that was hot and decently nice. The issue I was having (and the reason I only got to do one) is that signage and clocks are not super obvious. Apparently they only do these once per hour at the full hour. I got there shortly before 10am. I would've liked to at least have a chance to join the 10am one, but I didn't know, nobody tells you anything, and signage is hidden right by the Sauna, so deeper into the spa. I left after reaching the 2 hour mark, since I didn't want to pay for 4 hours (which is charges you if you go over). I won't come back. I think this place is crazy expensive for what you can do here. The spa facilities are confusing and not that great. Going to Vabali is not that much more expensive, but you get SO MUCH more. Don't bother going here, seriously, just don't.

Had a wonderful experience getting a pedicure today. Incredibly relaxing, clean and wonderful…read morestaff. I'm heading back tomorrow to get a body-scrub massage and spray tan, so I'll do a final update then. A few notes today: *The spa is located on the 6th floor of the Weinmeister Hotel (in the general area of U-bahn Weinmeisterstrasse, the M1 tram stop for Weinmeisterstrasse/Gipsstrasse when you go south and Hackescher Markt going north or Hackescher Markt S-bahn stop itself). When you enter the front door (with the "street art" on it), you have to have the staff let you into the elevator/lift area since you don't have a keycard. You just say that you have an appointment at the BeautySpa and hoped they could let you in to the elevator. I speak German, but the hotel staff speaks English very well. *Pedicure was excellent. You have your own private room and recline with cookies, tea, lemon water. Good quality color selection. Service was excellent. Cost was 55 Euro for pedicure and color. Most of their prices are online, though, so you can check those out. The woman I worked with spoke some English but we stuck to German since she feels more comfortable with that. She is Italian, so she speaks that as well. *They accept cash, Visa, Mastercard and EC-card (which is a German/European type of card). Overall, recommended.

The therapists are very thoughtful about the application of heat, and considerate of the requested pressure and area to be treated. We were perfectly relaxed after our experience. One funny thing happened afterwards, which is that while we were waiting for the facials, we discovered there had been a booking error. Darn!

Since my husband is a very busy man and couldn't change the date they offered instead, he took the swimming pool floating. But IT WAS NOT WHAT HE CAME THERE FOR. He said it was nothing special for that money. What was the most disappointing that they didn't call beforehand to say they had a problem with the capsule!!! That's just a bad service. And they didn't seam sorry, didn't offer any extras as a consolation. I will never recommend Tranxx to any of my friends, nor I will ever go there myself.

The only reason why I'm giving it two stars is because the actual spa itself is beautiful and has a majestic feel, perhaps one of the most beautiful spas I have ever been. But the therapists don't live up to the grandeur of the actual facility. Aside from there being no jacuzzis or pools and amenities, the welcome drink was mediocre with too sweet of fruit. I came twice. Because they seemed to always be booked and it had great reviews I thought maybe I had an unfortunate experience the first time. I was wrong, they don't have any pressure and I had to ask a couple of times to use more pressure and both the male and female therapists both times didn't use a pressure I felt comfortable with. But what made me the most upset was the fact that I had requested an Indian Head Massage at 2pm. I didn't get into my room by 2:15pm and the massage ... or err should I say petting session of my face, ended right at 2:45pm actually it was 2:44pm -- so dissatisfied.

Katrin has a really calming presence and I felt very well cared for, like I wanted to just move in. Wouldn't that be great? Highly recommended for all of the above services. The nail stuff was a bit different than what I've had in the past (you get used to things!) but in the end, my hands/feet are smooth as butter with nice polish to match.
