Beverly Hot Springs Spa

This is the most amaaaazing place! It’s kinda old world, and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Bring flip flops and leave jewelry at home as it will just get in the way. I had a Body Scrub Body Cate combo, and you lay naked on a table and a professional Korean lady (I had Helen) scrubs, massages, pours hot water over you body while you change positions. It’s exhilarating! She ended up washing my hair so there went my blow-​out, but who cares! Totally worth it. Ended up having an amazing facial by Kristen who was lovely. My face feels great, and I’m glowing.

Took a friend for her first deep sports massage. I was disappointed at the condition of the facility. Run down, dingy and dirty. I asked for 90 minutes deep tissue SPORTS massage $$$ 150!!! I told the massage therapist I hurt my lower back yesterday and it’s in a lot of pain. She decided to give me Shiatsu which I DID NOT WANT. When I spoke up she told me «she knows.» She lifted my leg while I was face down. She hurt me so badly I can not stand up straight. Then she was bad mouthing me to other people in the locker room while I was trying to get dressed. I could lift my leg into my pants!!! I didn’t even want to waste my energy writing this review. But after read all the other bad ones below I thought I should. SORRY I didn’t read them before I went. Don’t waste your money here.

The stars are for the services here… One star off because I don’t feel like they are as clean as some of the other saunas out there. They do the body scrub better than anyone else, in my opinion. Massages are pretty good, too. However, I like the wider selection of saunas in other spots…

OK, Kang– you are amazing! I don’t envy your job, but you sure are a skilled man! I went about 2 weeks ago and treated myself to a body scrub. Incredibly relaxing and felt so clean and new after. I doubt there was a piece of dead skin left anywhere on my body– next time I will ask if they can do it for an hour. The pool is very relaxing, but I was hoping the tile beds in the Moraccan spa were heated, and they weren’t. No worries, I’ll be back to see Kang.

The only thing this place has going for itself is the fact its the only natural hot spring in Los Angeles. The facility is old and not the cleanest. Its too bad because it has a lot of potential. But if you want to soak in a natural mineral water you grin and bare it, make sure you bring slippers here and your own tote with toiletries. it might as well be in the middle of the forest because the facilities aren’t great. The water though is another story. The water is supposed to look dirty so don’t worry about that. Towards the back of the pool the water tends to get hotter. Make sure you wear their ugly shower cap or you might get a scolding. Besides the natural mineral pool theres not much else I can say is good. I wouldn’t get a service here, I’ve gotten a massage before and it was horrible. I don’t know how the mens side is, but I’m sure its not any better. Also $ 25 entrance fee for really nothing and they close at 9pm. I really wish they would have someone buy this place and give it an update deserving of this natural phenomenon in our city.

Don’t be fooled, the facility has now turned into a gay meet & greet hookup spot for men. Lots of scandal going on in the open pool and relaxation areas. It’s like a PORN bathhouse. Not homophobic but there is a time and place for that stuff specifically. The massage staff is rough and not friendly, they have an alley door that with people walking in & out while you’re naked on the table. The front desk staff tried to bully me into leaving a tip when I knew the person who paid for my services already put money in the envelopes. The only offer man-​on-​man scrubs. The don’t offer any birthday specials like most facilities. If you book online, they don;t call or email to confirm. had to call and re-​book. No upgrades to the facility in years. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND INTEGRITY

Love this place. They could do a slightly better job keeping the men’s area clean. The hot springs are so refreshing and wonderful. I recommend the Thai Yoga massage.

I thought since my best girlfriend just broke up with her partner it was an amazing idea to take her to BEVERLY hot springs just for quality. When I checked in they had not taken my plus one in reservations, and the ladies up front told us there were still spots. I was having a great time until I started listening to the masseuses in Korean talking about switching to their regular clients who wanted to move their times to ours, 4pm. We later realized that as we were anticipating out release through our deep tissue massage, we were suddenly assigned male masseuses, and no one let us know of asked us. I’ve never in 30 years had a deep tissue massage at a Korean spa from a male. It’s way too intimate and I feel like they pushed us aside and switched without letting us know. Initially they said it was just my masseuse so I sad it’s ok since at least my best friend could have a female. Later after a disturbing almost (lawsuit level) traumatic experience during my massage as i tensed up the entire massage, we ran out of there after the worst massages (we both had men). My friend had to go upstairs to a cold room to get her massage and she wore her gown cuz it was cold and she didn’t know what to do but stay til the end. We complained and the front desk was rude and general, not owning anything. We didn’t want to be annoying customers on Christmas. We just wanted to heal and pay extra for it. We ended up paying for crap. There are tons of mom n pop original spas that surpass the service at BEVERLY hot springs. I regret going there and feel wronged and it’s a disgrace. All surface, over priced and no quality. Go to the smaller spas.

Awful. I had a scrub, massage, and sauna.
I contracted MRSA (Staph) Infection here. I ended up on 30 days of antibiotics and extensive scaring on my back and buttocks. This is a dirty infected place. For your own health do not visit.
Dec 21^st — the infection has resurfaced. Another 25 days solid antibiotics. It’s so hard to get rid of MRSA as its resistant to so many treatments. This spa has screwed up my health for he next year at least. Horrible dirty place. Staff don’t care I have been infected by their spa. MRSA is a scary dangerous infectious disease. Stay away from this place.

My friend introduced this place to me and My boyfriend, i definitely like this place. very clean and beautiful. female and male in seperate floor and have hot and cold spa, unfortunately the cold one feels like Ice water too cold for winter. the hot Spa little too hot to stay over ten minutes. if they can have a spa more like room tempurturre then people will definitely enjoy more in the Spa. the locker dont WORK on number 30, but the server has the key. overall, everything is great!

Ahhhhh!!! I feel like kneaded dough & silky smooth to boot! =D. As always, life keeps me from visiting more often. But I do make it here, never a disappointment! Here to see my favorite practitioner, KJ & feel humbled when she says, «Long time! Missed you!!» My choice treatment is the body scrub/​body care. It’s so good! I only wish I could sleep over afterwards, I’m so relaxed & rejuvenated. I have yet to ever regret coming here & will always be glad that Yoshi found this mini retreat spot for us =)

Treatments, the best !!!
Real spring hot water, great,
Rest of spa, could be bigger ‚
Could have more facilities,
Rest area Etc ‚
Still,
For the treatments, for the hot water …
They get my 4 stars.

I visited Beverly springs for the first time two days ago and got a body scrub/​care treatment and spent a little time in the pool. The area where I got my treatment did not seem hygienic upon entering but, against my better judgement, I proceeded with the treatment. I now have follicitious and am off to urgent care to test if it’s bacterial or fungal. Lovely!
Two weeks later. Back to the doctor. Still have a systemic infection that may leave scars.

I had not been here for years an noticed the prices went up considerably. I was a little concerned because the Thai massage was $ 110 which I thought was a little pricey, especially since my memory of this place was that the massages I received were hit and miss. (That’s a lot to pay for a miss.)
Upon arriving, I noticed they definitely spiffed the place up and it certainly felt more clean, with newer showers and seating. I still think it could use a paint job on the ceiling (it’s gross to see mold/​discoloration) and the rugs on the floor could use some swapping out). However, it was very noticeably improved.
Best of all both of my services were top notch. Choi with the scrub, started off furiously hard but then adjusted when I grimaced and Jenny did an amazing Thai massage, really relieving my soreness. Service — from check-​in to towels was much friendlier than I remember, too.
Could this be a five star experience? It’d be great if they offered shower shoes, had water closer to the mineral baths and could enforce quiet in the baths. That said, I fear this place could get too fancy and then cost way too much. As it is, it’s just going to be a rare treat — though I did see on the website they have some off hour pricing at 15% off.

All these years I would pass by this location and never had the chance to go until today. The best Vitamin Massage w/​Aroma oil! Great service and easy reservation and best of all, Ms Park — my Masseuse! Got most of my stress released on my upper body-​amazing!!! I can turn my head all the way to my left and right without strain! Great when you work a high pressure job and need to relax naturally. Price is reasonable in the area and i love the hot springs pool. They are open until 9pm. Works for me after work. I’m coming back! Keep up the great job!

I’m just giving this place some stars for their awesome waterfalls in the lobby and upstairs wowwww! We had the couples massage with nice korean women. It was hard to communicate with them, but my sports massage was good. It wasn’t the best but she focused on my lower body as requested. It’s definitely not worth the $ 100+ They give you envelopes with their name on it and you could drop it off in the tip box at the front desk.
The women only spa areas were great. There’s a steam, sauna, shower, hot springs and relaxing beds to enjoy for a few hours before or after your massage. There is also a vanity area to get cleaned up and pretty up. There are lockers, towels and robes to use for the day. It was a nice way to relax on a Sunday.

Nice clean and tranquil environment enjoyed my scrub and massage the pools were absolutely Devine a great place to come relax and meditate

Where do I begin!!! I am SO not a long winded reviewer I leave that to the «Elites» but since there are so many negatives I wanted to rave about the Body Scrub: totally naked on a table with no doors so passers bys CAN see you.
The feeling of being a freshly caught tuna from the ocean, thrown on a table to be scaled quickly & then plastic buckets of water from a plastic trash can are thrown on top to rinse. But in all seriousness I LOVED IT! New experience at a new place doing it their way. If you want dark secluded treatment rooms w/​candles & elevator music this isn’t the place for you!
You WILL get your hair wet
I thoroughly enjoyed the roughness of it I wouldnt have wanted it any other way! I can guarantee there isnt 1 dead scale on my body! She got them all!

Since I have walked out on my therapist, gotten a refund and am waiting for my sister to finish her massage, I have plenty of time to write this review. Negative star ratings would be more appropriate but a 1 is the lowest.
Admittedly we were told to arrive 30 minutes in advance and arrived within minutes of our appointments. The dressing room leads to the pools. When I tried to remind the attendant our appointments were in minutes she said she didn’t know where the therapists would be meeting us.
In lieu of robes we were given towels. Initially no slippers were offered. The towels we were given left little to the imagination when worn by a plus size woman such as myself. Eventually we were given slippers and robes. The attendant laughingly said to me they didn’t have any robes that were big and recommended I put a towel over the robe which I did.
I noticed a woman leaving the pool area in a bathing suit. I saw her minutes later in therapist attire and she was my sisters therapist.
My therapist told me to wait for her. This was frustrating because we were now 11 minutes into my session and I was still in the dressing room area.
Eventually my therapist returned and said to follow her to the elevators. At the elevator a male associate met us. It was clear to me by his attire he was not a massage therapist. Before the elevator came my therapist eyed me up and down and said something to the effect of «look who I have to massage» or «I have to massage her». The male employee replied my therapist would be «okay because she’s a strong lady».
The massage area looks like a series of dressing rooms. Cloth curtains serve as «doors». The therapist stayed in the room while I disrobed and once I was face down on the table she covered me with a sheet. The deep tissue massage was more like motions used to apply lotion. The bamboo treatment added on is a heated bamboo stick which was ~4 inches long.
At this point I told the therapist I was uncomfortable and wanted to end the massage. I had to ask her to leave so I could redress in private. I had kept my bra and panties on with the robe/​towel combo because the robe didn’t feel secure at all.
After getting back downstairs and fully dressed I was given a refund with no question. When I explained to the manager what had happened he did apologize. Within my ear shot he find the therapist to never say that people are fat.
As an FYI I wear a 2X or size 18 – 20 in pants. I certainly could lose a few pounds but this experience was terrible. Both the therapists comments and her managers coaching were in poor taste.
I would never come here again. I get massages monthly and have done so all over the world. This easily ranks as the worst spa experience I’ve ever had. From the manager to the therapists customer service was absent.

I am a spa junkie and Korean. Grew up in LA and tried out spas all over Socal, Arizona, SF, Pasadena, Santa Barbara, San Diego and so on. Mud bath, hot springs, name it and I’ve tried. My fav is Beverly Hot Springs Spa… been going there for 13 years.
I moved to San Diego and I still go there every month or two when I can swing it only because of Mrs. Choi. She is the best body scrub therapist EVER. I grew up in Korea so my parents scrubbed me and my brothers weekly. This is what Korean families did. A ritual weekly cleaning. All for that baby soft glowing skin.
Anyways I love hot springs water and Beverly Hot Springs water used to smell of sulphur soon as I stepped into the spa front door but no more:(I guess nothing is forever but water still seems to have sulphur content. So that’s good.
I drive up to LA 2.5 hrs to soak, sit in wet sauna, dry sauna to get ready for body scrub session and it calms my entire being. Always same great feeling and Mrs. Choi makes me feel cared (I know it sounds weird since I don’t’ say a word and she doesn’t say a word). Just kind and great.
Oh, and I like a good intense scrub so I always ask her before she starts to use a roughest scrub clothe for me.
I give Mrs. Choi 5 stars and 4 stars for the spa because it’s not the most beautiful place but because it’s authentic in that volcanicesque hot springs pool even though it no longer smells like rotten egg/​sulphur. Voohoohoo.
Oh and add the cucumber facial and milk to your scrub. Very nice!
