nice spa, bad massage – I got a thai massage as part of the spa week special. The lounge was nice but very small, I had to stand becuase there wasnt enough seating area, however, the lighting was nice, magazines, fruit, pretzels, ice water, tea were all provided in the lounge. I had to wait a while before I could actualy get my massage because there were many clients at the time and not enough staff. The locker room was very small and cramped. But what I did like about the spa was that it had many showers with shampoo, condi... read more

Will Never Go to other Spa but Banyan Citi Spa – I am a frequent spa goer (at least once or twice a month) and it was my first time visited Banyan Citi Spa. I found them on the spa week website and I am so glad that I picked them. The spa was a little busy on the day I visit (hey, it's spa week, everyone is taking advantage of it), but the receptionists were very polite and sweet and I waited may be or less than 5-10 minutes. The facility is very beautiful and clean. I had facial and massage, which are TOTALLY AMAZING.... Wo... read more

Weird masseur, okay massage – The receptionist at citispa was very helpful when I walked in without an appointment on Saturday morning. The place was empty at 9:30 as the the spa opens at 10. The changing area, sauna, locker, & steam room are very small considering the number of people the spa seems to accomodate, so I can imagine it could get quite busy later in the day. The lounge area has 2 televisions which I found very distracting from the relaxing atmosphere one expects from a spa. The massage room was lit by candlelig... read more

Great message, rushed customer service – I went there at the end of a busy work day. The locker rooms are small, changing area uncomfortable and the sauna is the size of a closet. However, once I got a Thai massage, it was one of the best massages that I have received. If you are looking for a sanctuary to spend a few hours in, this is not the place, if you are looking for an excellent message, look no further.

The best facial, a little crowded though – My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary and although he made appointments for massages, they goofed and somehow we each had a facial. It was the best facial I have ever had though, relaxing and skin-specific (I have very sensitive skin so that is pretty important to me). The women's locker room is crowded and kind of stressful especially after your treatment when you are relaxed and out of it. So before your appointment, get ready to knock elbows in the locker room and stea... read more

Best spa in NYC – One of my coworker kept raving about this place so I decided to give it a try. I went without knowing I had to make a reservation but the receptionist greeted me with a friendly smile anyways, what a good start, she then thoroughly explained all the different kinds of massage they have and I went for their signature thai massage. I was told I was in no hurry so I went into the steam room, which was just what I needed. My therapist was absolutely incredible, she knew exactly which area I was in pain and help... read more

just plain icky – ok, i believed the hype and scheduled a much needed massage. the reception was fine, if not a bit distant, but it was the treatment that was beyond bad. the massage therapist asked what type of massage i wanted - swedish- and proceeded to pinch and poke and tug at me with the tiniest dab of oil applied - when asked to lighten up she said, oh, ok, but proceeded along the same route. she actually straddled me to cross the table (rather than going around!) and straddled my neck (while i was face down, thank go... read more

Never been spa-ing before . . . – . . . but this seemed pretty nice. I got a facial and a mani-pedi. The atmosphere and decor were really beautiful. I liked the dim, relaxing waiting room with lemon water and little snacks. Having nothing to compare it to, I'd say it was good, but nothing I can't do myself with the right products and a magnifying mirror.
