Spa Sol

I don’t understand the negative reviews. I’ve been going here for years and it’s fantastic. I scrub down is wonderful and the massage great. The ambiance is fine and the service good. I love it!

This place is SHADY! They are a legit rub and tug «massage» parlor. This place needs to be shut down! They allow men to pay for hand jobs and blow jobs. How is this place able to exist? This place is absolutely all about prostitution. Disgusting!!!

I am honestly baffled by the negative reviews here. This is one of the nicest and best-​run spas I’ve come across in Manhattan, and I’ve tried quite a few. Is it a high-​end luxury spa like the Four Seasons? Of course not. It’s a Korean spa on the edge of Koreatown, and it’s got the atmosphere that goes along with that. Therapists are Asian and not all of them speak English very clearly. But everyone I’ve met have been very thoughtful and patient and skillful, and the massages I’ve gotten are among the best I’ve ever had. The front desk staff has always been friendly, never rude. And the prices are very reasonable.
Women, couples, and groups are treated in the downstairs facility, which has something like four or five massage rooms, a small lounge and shower area, a steam room and a dry sauna. Bigger might be nicer if you’re with a group, but if it’s just you and one friend (or just you), it’s more than enough.
Single men are treated on the upstairs floor, and if you’re downstairs you never even see them. Are they getting «happy endings» up there? I wouldn’t know, and honestly I don’t much care. It might as well be two separate spas. And frankly, the truth is that the finest spas in the city give them — a boyfriend got offered one at the spa at the Waldorf Astoria, for crying out loud.
Anyone who misses out on this gem because of two bad Unilocal reviews is missing something wonderful!

Omg!!! Can’t believe this place hasn’t be shut down! The place smells awful just at the entrance. The woman at the front desk was nasty the second we walked in. She got suspicious when she noticed that we suspected this place to be a rub and tug. She yelled at us to get out. when I mentioned to my bf that I needed to use the bathroom she interjected and yelled at me «this isn’t a public bathroom» oh really? She then continued yelling «get out! I will call the police» we laughed and left saying she’s more likely to get herself into trouble. Basically, this place should be shut down!

Unlicensed. Make sure you go in wanting a «massage» and not a real massage. This place is not legit, and I’m amazed that it can operate right next to the Empire State Building. Do not go here unless you’re a guy, you know what you’re getting into, and you realize that the «tip» will vastly exceed $ 40.
