awesome experience, staff was very nice and accommodating! I would highly recommend anyone want to relax!

I had a massage yesterday with Jackson and it legit changed my life. I've had lots of massages over the years and this was definitely the best. He has a cupping technique that is different than any I've seen before- moving the cups around to continuously raise the muscles. The result is muscles that are released AND no weird red circle spots like Michael Phelps had at the Olympics lol. Seriously, go see Jackson at Wat Massage. read more

I have visited Wat Massage twice now. Both times my therapist was Alex. I mentioned that I have a lot of lower back pain and he focused in on it right away. Almost three weeks later and my pain is very minimal. I was hurting every single day until I got a massage. I work out a lot so my whole body was very tight. I was the last appointment for the day and I left there feeling so relaxed that I could have slept for two days. Time wasn't an issue as well. If I had a problem area Alex focused on it for me. I am a chatty person so the conversation is always great as well. Alex knew all of the pressure points to work on and knew exactly where I needed extra work. Wat Massage is definitely the best around if you're looking for a deep tissue massage. Both experiences were the best I've had to date. I will definitely be visiting Alex at Wat Massage again! read more

Wonderful massage very tuned in to what worked best for me. Clean atmosphere and very relaxing.

Amazing experience! Alex left me feeling so relaxed. I would give this place 10 stars if possible!

Visiting from out of town, I called last minute to see if there were openings. Originally there were but, but they called me back shortly to let me know they had a therapist available. The front desk staff was very friendly ad welcoming. I was escorted to the room, which was super clean and had good decor. Paulo was my masseuse and he was incredible. I had a deep tissue and he worked out all the knots. My only complaint is that it was not long enough! Great service, great massage!! read more

My wife and I had a couple's massage. My therapist Iriny was fantastic. Very good, strong massage. Very professional. I would definitely go back and request her. read more

Great service and experience! Sheena was very professional and took the time to make sure my session was tailored to my needs and tension areas. She found knots I didn't even know I had. I can't believe how much better I feel after only one session. Highly recommend! read more

I've had many massages but none as good as Luther's!!! I highly recommend this place and Luther in particular. I was welcomed by a staff member opening the door...which was more than welcomed on this fridges day! From the time you enter, the experience starts. The environment is set up for true relaxation. You're offered tea or water and sat in a cozy seat overlooking the rode while you wait for your appt. The massage itself...HEAVENLY! If you're ever looking for a great experience, look no further! read more

If you're preggo, you need to book a prenatal massage with Irani. Both times, my fetus and I were transported to a blissful state of peace. She's warm, friendly, and attentive to untangling those pesky little knots! read more

I was blown away, and so was my husband with the quality of service that we got in this wonderful place. First of all let me explain that I have had one massage in the US before this one and it was so terrible that I decided I would never try it again in this country. My husband and I live in Florida and we went to Washington to visit my sister for Thanksgiving and knowing my previous experience and being a "massageaholic" she gifted us with a couple massage. At first I was very tense, didn't even want to go but my husband was going to be there so I gave it a shot and I'm so glad that I did!!! From the moment you enter the door you're hit with a ambiance that is very clean and smells great! The front desk girl Eve, greeted us with a warm smile and she was super friendly and knowledgeable about the massage world! When we got to the room I was a little tense because I noticed that I was going to be massaged by a man. Long history short I wasn't tense for too long...Jackson makes it easy to relax with his strong, deep, warm but absolutely respectful touch and it was so amazing that I kept trying hard to stay awake so I would not miss anything of what I was getting. Thank you Jackson, I loved every single minute of your massage you're amazing!!! My husband have back problems and because of this he can't get deeper massages. He was absolutely pleased with the massage he got from Madeleine, he said that she was right on with the amount of pressure needed for him to relax and that he enjoyed every single minute of it thank you Madeleine my husband says that you're the woman with angel hands. Well the result of this massage is I CANNOT WAIT TO BE BACK IN DC!!! THANK YOU WAT MASSAGE! read more

Love this spot! I don't often indulge getting massages but I am so glad I booked one here on a whim. Latrice is amazing and so knowledgeable, taking time to really understand what areas to focus on. She made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed! The space is calming and welcoming, and the booking process is very easy. read more

I have been going to Wat massage for over 4 years. The service is always excellent and the masseurs are great. My go to person was Jackson (he is excellent). I recently returned to Wat and saw Latrice, I am going call the knot whisperer. I had a wonderful massage and felt very relaxed after the session. read more

By far, one of the best massages I've ever had. Its beautifully decorated inside and a sanctuary in the city. I will be back during my stay in DC. read more

I've been looking for a good massage place for quite some time. Wat Massage was recommended to me by a colleague and I'm so glad I went! Julio listened as I talked about my constant back pain and provided a clinical massage that I haven't been able to find anyone nearby. Mostly using pressure points and stretching the tight muscles. As the week went by I could feel a big difference. I don't need to go often but I will definitely go again. read more

As a full time worker on the service industry, an amateur weight lifter and a performer I cannot begin to express how helpful and altogether awesome my Ashiatsu massage with August was. Two very relaxing hours that left me feeling brand new, a much needed reboot. The session left me feeling great and ready to take on my activities next day without the horrible back and neck pain I was experiencing from being on my feet so many hours a day. August was exceptionally professional and responsive and the places ambiance is very delicate and balanced. I highly recommend it. read more

First time reviewer but just had talk about the great massage I had with Julio. It was one of the better ones that I've ever had. He really focuses on the entire experience and thoroughly works your trouble spots. I think my back is longer today. I will definitely be back! read more

LaTrice is amazing! She took the time to really listen and I feel so much better after our session. The spa itself is really relaxing and they have a lot of COVID safety precautions in place. Ask for LaTrice, she's great! :) read more

Today was my second visit with Jackson, and I highly recommend him. I am a musician who overuses her shoulders/arms/neck area as part of my job so I consider getting therapeutic massages a necessity. Jackson takes the time for you to explain where your pain is and how it came about. My shoulders/neck area is extremely tight so it's quite a project to tackle when I come in for a session. It's hard for me to find a masseuse who is able to release the tension in an effective manner that doesn't snap back to being tight a few days later (has happened to me many times). Jackson recommended his use of cups, which cost extra, but I am willing to pay for if it means a deeper muscle release. He manages to not only fix the area of tightness but really get into the deepest layers of the muscle and tackle the root of the problem. If I have had tension headaches, for example, he'll make sure to release the shoulders/back which are the foundation of that problem. This gives much relief to my upper body area but, more importantly, keeps them released and relaxed as time goes on. Book Jackson and he will listen and customize his session to your needs. He'll explain throughout the session what he is doing and why and give tips for how to maintain your body between sessions. Highly recommend him! read more

I've been here twice now and they are amazing!! They make it a very personalized experience! I had Madeline and I can promise you I will be seeing her again! I run and have shoulder, neck, it band problems and she made me feel ready to get back running! The thing I appreciated the most was that she took my body on a massage journey not just going over areas because you are supposed to but really recognizing what my muscles were saying and what they needed!! read more

Just got out of yet another fantastic massage with Aaron. He does deep tissue therapeutic massage and since I always have one issue or another it's just the best! Left this serene spa feeling like a new woman today. read more

I had a great vibe from the second I arrived. Latrice was awesome and very professional. I will be back. I felt covid safe it was very clean as well. read more

Great 90 minute massage. Very professional and clean facility. I had muscle spasms that did release after the massage. I would definitely go back. read more

Great place excellent massage and service. I will definitely go again. I was surprised that it was so nice inside and the therapist did an amazing job. I felt calm and relaxed afterwards and the pain in my neck and shoulders were much better than before. One of the best massages I've had in DC. read more

The therapists here are incredible. I have been back several times and I always come out feeling amazing. Never a disappointment. Sometimes I have gone in for relaxation and to de-stress, other times with significant injury or pain that the therapist has been able to work around and help my whole body feel better. So grateful for Wat Massage!! read more

Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and therapists that are very knowledgeable. My masseuse was Jackson and he is amazing. He understands physiology well and applies different techniques depending on your body needs which was so interesting and effective. I am already scheduled for my next sessions. Highly recommend. read more

Alex is amazing! I have gone to him twice now and I will definitely be coming back. The place itself has a very relaxing vibe and I think it's definitely one of the best in D.C. They are almost always booked in advance so be sure to call early. Love love love this place. Alex did a great job of listening to my concerns and also incorporating stretches which I think helped really balance out the massage. Lifetime customer! read more

WOW! I scheduled a 90 minute massage for myself and my mother. I typically get a massage once a month so I have had many experiences to compare this one to. Both my mother and I agreed that the massage at Wat was the very best. The techniques used were different but effective. The room was comfortable and the therapist was fantastic. I will definitely come back to Wat when in town again. read more

I went and seen Madeline, recommended by a friend, and she was excellent. very professional, and attended to my needs very thoroughly! The location is easy to get to, and the ambience is nothing short of peace and tranquility. If you go, ask for Madeline, I will be going again and booking with her! read more

I've been going for a few months now and absolutely love it. From the moment you walk in, it's very calm and serene. I generally get a 90-minute deep tissue massage with Jackson Miguel. He is amazing and very professional and interactive in a non-intrusive way, which ensures the pressure is always right and that I am enjoying the massage. I always leave feeling very relaxed and rejuvenated. Before Wat, I tried a few other places around DC, but never returned for a second visit. Once, I found Wat Massage, I knew found the best. I can't wait until my next appointment! read more

I am in DC for short work conference. Looked on Yelp earlier today to find this place. They were able to fit me in, same day appointment. Was VERY pleased with my whole experience tonight! The guy at the desk was very helpful, informative & professional. The atmosphere of the place was relaxing and inviting. Julio gave me a spectacular massage!! I have 2 slipped disks, scoliosis & neck strain and he addressed all of those issues in my 90 minutes. Rarely do I find a massage therapist who knows how to lengthen ALL layers of muscle to relieve my pains. He was attentive to my needs, alleviated my pains and helped relax me as well. Too bad I can't come back often. I feel Julio would help me be in less constant pain if I could come to him regularly. Definitely worth every single dime!! read more

Excellent spa! I had an amazing experience. All the rooms are very welcoming, charming, and clean which collaborates for a very relaxing ambiance. I strongly recommend as I am definitely coming back. read more

I had been under a bit of stress with planning two family trips and work. I could feel the tenseness and stress in my shoulders and it was starting to cause me to have tingling in my arms. I went online in search of a massage place with decent prices and was surprised to see the yelp score of five stars along with a good price for a massage. I was even more surprised to find an evening appointment. I am so glad that I gave Wat a chance. The therapist was able to work out the kinks and knots in my neck and I immediately felt better and less stressed. It was a clean and relaxing environment and the therapist was very nice. I also like that it is in Adams Morgan so you can grab dinner or dessert afterwards. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place. read more

I lift and stay active quite a bit. I came to Wat because I got tired of tension headaches from my neck/shoulders, and knew my hamstrings were pretty tight. Amber was friendly, asked if there was anything I had hoped to get out of the session, and did exactly that. I walked out of there feeling so relieved and relaxed that I had no idea what to do with myself! I will certainly be going back and will be requesting Amber for all of my sessions. I just hope she doesn't get tired of working through these knotted muscles! I would recommend taking a cab or Lyft, though. read more

If you're looking for a Thai massage , look no further ! I received a massage from Ratchanee - the one who specializes in Thai massage at this beautiful spa - that was better than the massages I've gotten at some of the most upscale places in Thailand ! She stretched my muscles in ways I didn't think possible and I felt like a million dollars when she was done with me . The facility is breathtakingly beautiful and super clean - the perfect mid day escape from the hustle and bustle that is DC / I will be coming here once a month for sure to keep my body feeling well stretched and limber . Was definitely money well spent :) read more

The best massage I've ever had, without a doubt. I would recommend this place to anyone. Other reviewers have pointed out that it's not really a high-end spa. That's true. However, it is very clean, professional and relaxing. I just briefly explained what was bothering me and John did the rest. He knew my bad sleeping habits without asking. My wife and I had a couples massage. She said the same thing about her experience - incredible. He warned me that I would be sore for a few days. I was, but it was that 'good' kind of sore. The last two nights of sleep have been so much better. The first night I slept about 11 straight hours. I never sleep longer than 3-4 hours without waking up. Last night I slept about 6 hours and woke up feeling 10 years younger. I will definitely be back to Wat. read more

This place is incredible! I got a massage here with a friend, and it was absolutely amazing. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. Its definitely worth every penny. Now everytime I walk by I want to go in and get another massage. The customer service is great, the place is relaxing, and the massages are top notch. read more

I had just finished a hockey tournament and felt pretty beat up and sore so was looking forward to a deep tissue massage. With help from Yelp to find a well regarded local purveyor, my wife and I visited Wat Massage in Adams Morgan. First, I have to say Wat's strongly positive reputation on Yelp is well deserved. Second (and most importantly), my masseuse Mike had an IRON grip that didn't wane over the course of 90 minutes - incredible, and just what I needed! Lastly, the atmosphere in this three story 100 year old townhouse was impeccable - quiet, clean, relaxing, softly lit and nicely appointed, and the individual treatment rooms were comfortably large with high ceilings, individual sound systems and very comfortable beds. I know I risk revealing a gem that might make future appointments tougher to schedule, but this business deserves the praise. I plan to go back (and will call further ahead now!). Enjoy! read more

This is my favorite massage spot in Washington DC. I will be back and definitely would recommend this experience to my friends and colleagues! read more

Im an out of towner in DC for a conference. I had so much neck and back pain I left in the middle of the conference to get a massage. I initially scheduled an hour but ended up extending to 90 mins because Stacy was so amazing. The staff is courteous, professional and prompt as well. Im in the Uber going back, but I feel like a million dollars and had to leave a review. Thank you Wats Massage!!!! read more
