Great massage. Best In Exeter by far. I Recommend you all to visit, you won’t regret it !!!

★★★★★★★★★★JDec 2025

Feh (not sure how to spell her name) was amazing. She knew exactly what I needed when I asked for "good pressure" and really sorted out a bunch of knots in my upper back and neck. When I stood up, I nearly thought my head was going to fall off from how relaxed I felt. I haven't had that good of a massage in years. Amazing!

★★★★★★★★★★Lily StanleyDec 2025

Don’t like leaving bad reviews however I’ve had many massage at different places and this was the worst massage I’ve ever had. Arrived and the woman just said ‘pay me first’ which initially is off putting I clarified twice neck back and shoulders and RELAXING she proceeded to massage my legs, I asked her please only back etc and she continued to do the other leg The massage was too rough and rushed , moving too quickly erratically the complete opposite of relaxing Then she started doing my head which I never asked for and roughly scratching my head didn’t feel nice for one second genuinely could’ve done a better job myself would not return or recommend

Hands down, the best masseuse I ever had the pleasure of getting a massage from. Ask for Nung when you book. She only works after 4pm I think. Place is very nice as well. Super clean and friendly too.

★★★★★★★★★★Cynthia D'CostaJun 2025

The best massage ever. Masseuse was very attentive and thorough. Felt completely relaxed after the session. Staff were kind and welcoming. Tailored the massage according to my needs.

Me & my husband had deep tissue massages in the double room and they were the best massages we’ve ever had! Lovely staff and room. We’ll definitely go back, amazing value for money.

My previous reviews have always been so positive of this place and I have always recommended this place for 2 years now. Very loyal client I must have spent over £800 with this spa over time. The ladies are amazing and so kind here and they’re so great at their job! However, the older lady at reception who I assume is the manager? Was absolutely rude, no customer service or curiosity with loyal clients. Point blank arrogant and dismissive. I have called multiple times and massaged to book an appointment and no response. I turned up to book in for an appointment as I assumed like many businesses there are busy times, So I went in to book a massage and the older lady around the age of 50’s/60’s didn’t even approach me in a respectful manner no eye contact or smile, just pure arrogance. Told me to stand to the side and wait. I assume this was because she was waiting to see if the gentleman was going to book the slot or not, he ended up booking in which meant there was no availability. Which is fine, but when I asked when was next available she was talking to me so disrespectfully, which did upset me because I really enjoyed coming here and have been such a loyal client over the years! I asked her how I can book, and she was adamant I have to message/ call when I told her I have multiple times she became even more defensive to the point she turned around and said “ we’re busy we don’t have receptionists here talk to her” which was her colleague who was so kind but just a therapist and was quite embarrassed at how she spoke and reacted. How can you run a successful business on the basis you’re telling clients to make appointments if you don’t respond for days/weeks and when you arrive to make an appointment you’re spoken to really bad… I was really confused by this woman and it’s such a shame she lets the whole business down. I won’t be returning here for the reason of her disrespect and rude dismissal but the ladies here are so sweet! If you like Thai massage they’re great, but if you see this particular woman, AVOID her. You need to work on how you communicate with another human and customer service to paying clients. You let your wonderful team down. Also if you’re the manager you should be ensuring communication/ booking systems / clients satisfaction. I have found a new salon in Clifton that does Thai massage now and will be spending my money where I am spoken to in a polite decent manner. You couldn’t even respond to my text when I raised the matter. Which could have easily been resolved.

The skilled lady who treated me knew exactly what she was doing and it felt like she had years of experience. The cozy decorations created a welcoming atmosphere, making me feel at home and transported to Thailand. Highly recommend it!

★★★★★★★★★★Ed DavidOct 2022

I had a delightful massage today, much needed! The room was really quite beautiful, and I felt very special from beginning to end. Very professional, kind, and caring staff. I'll definitely be coming again. Thank you for today. Near the end of the massage when it came to my head and hair I felt like I was in heaven I was so blissfully relaxed. 5 🌟 definitely well deserved!

1st time go to Sawadee Thai Massage, with Anna as a therapist, she is very friendly, well done job. All the staff are very nice; also the lady maybe she is an owner, she is very kind and welcoming me as a newbie here in Bristol. Absolutely i will come back again. See you soon 😁.
