Cowshed

I received a gift certificate from my husband and was looking forward to a 90 min massage. I was stuck in traffic (traveling from upstate), I phoned in to let them know and they said ok. Another ½ hour looking for parking, and a scavenger hunt to find the spa (inside a tiny dingy hotel). I was told on arrival that my massage will only be ½ hour (I’m ok with that, I was late) but they charged me for a 90 min massage. The massage was not good, and the spa experience was not relaxing. The place is just too dark and too small. The bathroom is gross (no sink with the toilet). The receptionist was very nice and offered a 20% discount on my next visit, but I can’t go back there. Not a good experience.

My review is based on my experience as a hotel guest and not a spa client.
I was able to take advantage of the amenities since I was staying here, so taking some time out in their steam room seemed ideal in mid-​January. Happy to say it was functioning (nothing worse than going into a defective steam room) and it was great since I was alone the entire time.
Lockers are available and even though I was right down the hall, I’m not the type to go prancing around public hallways in a robe so these came in quite handy. As for the showers, I’m sure they were fine but if you read my review on the rooms, I was more than ready to retire back to my own bathroom after my steam.
Although Cowshed has a wonderful full-​range of body products with seven (in the U.S., possibly eight overseas) choices, I have to say the scents I favored most was ‘Horny’, which included an ingredient I normally can’t stand (patchouli, mixed with cinnamon and rose), but it was so subtle that I barely noticed this. Although I didn’t feel quite so randy from it, this was an unforgettable scent. Topping that would definitely be the lavender and eucalyptus infused ‘Knackered’-a mood which I am more familiar with-​and only able to use toward the end of the day, as it relaxes and slows me down. Pleasant as it may be, it’s certainly not ideal for mornings!
Next visit, I would like to try a massage, but for the brief time I was visiting, I enjoyed my time here.
Looking forward to next time!

My husband surprised me for my birthday with a package of a 30 minute massage, facial, manicure and pedicure (2 hours total). We were stuck in horrible traffic and we made it there late. As soon as I walked in they told me that I was late and that they weren’t able to accommodate my 30 minute massage. I asked if we could skip on the facial and have the massage instead and they did not accommodate. So I went straight for my manicure and pedicure which took 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete. I wasn’t able to get the facial since I had to go. They were very rude and seemed annoyed whenever I would make a suggestion or request. They didn’t seem to care that my manicure and pedicure took so long and that I wasn’t able to have my facial. By the time I got home my nail polish had already chipped. I have gotten better service at a regular nail salon and massage parlor. I didn’t feel relaxed at all. The facilities weren’t very clean. I wasn’t impressed. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Went after work on Tuesday for massage and was dissapointed. It was too crowded and upkeep was poor. In the waiting room, there were at least two sets of delivered coffee or tea lying around. In the dressing room, there were no clean towels, floors had used towels and robes lying there instead, and floor was completely wet. The locker they gave me initially had someone else’s clothes in there and when I was leaving, someone came in and was looking for an empty locker… which there seemed to be none. The place is kind of cramped… and seemed like they were just cranking people in and out… without attention to detail and service. You know it is too tight when you have to reach under a naked guy to get your shoes to get out of there! And there were only 3 people in that room. Was not a relaxing spa experience at all

I took my mother here on Monday as her Mothers day gift and was very disappointed. I did a lot of research before I chose Cowshed Spa. I picked this spa because I have already went to Trump Soho and some other high end spas and wanted to try something new. Soho house is known to be a trendy hotel and I expected the spa to be up to par. Unfortunately I was very disappointed.
In my opinion the spa was not well kept. The bathroom had no toilet paper on 2 separate occasions. The shower had hair in it from the previous person.
The relaxation room and the waiting area was the same space. After we received our treatments (An hour massage, 30 minute salt scrub and 30 minute reflexology) we wanted to relax and read a magazine. However, we realized that the waiting area was the same as the «relaxation room» We weren’t offered any tea or snacks which I am used to being offered in other spas.
I enjoyed my scrub, but was very disappointed with the reflexology and back massage. The masseuse was either too rough or too light. It didn’t feel nice at all and I was counting down the minutes for it to be over. For the amount of money I spent I should have loved every minute.
I’m very disappointed and will not be visiting Cowshed again. Nor will I recommend it to my friends.

Did a Spa day package here with about 8 of my clients/​friends and it was a complete success. Summer was great and really took care of everything. Everyone was happy with their services and the goodie bags as well. We had the entire lounge area to ourselves with champagne and food we ordered. We then went upstairs and had dinner. It was one of the smoothest events I have ever had. I will definitely be back for the next one!

Came here for a couple’s massage and had a lovely time!
I was looking for a nice place to have a couple’s massage for my sf’s B day. A friend has a facial here and it came highly recommended.
I called to get info and pricing and the receptionists were quite pleasant. So, I booked it.
This spa is IN the SoHo House. You are not able to use the rest of SoHo house when you come but the spa is open to the public.
Came in and the front desk was VERY pretentious. Told them we are not members but are coming to the spa.
Once we took the elevator up to the spa, everything changed. We were warmly greeted and shown to our respective locker facilities. The ladies was wonderful. A steam room. 3 showers and cowshed products. Everything you can think of. Toothbrush, toothpastee, beauty prot\ducts, hair dryer etc etc. Slippers and a robe.
The massage was great. They were very accommodating to the bf who never had a massage and was kind of nervous. The Cowshed products are amazing. I am addicted.
I would come again for a service and I would recommend. Just ignore the front door snobs
