Very friendly and professional, Thippawan was extremely attentive and gave one of the best massages. Highly recommend this massage and well being place.
Had a last minute massage from Aree, a very warm and sweet lady. It was absolute bliss, my back has felt like a brick for a week, I now feel like I am walking on a cloud on my way home from my massage! All the ladies here are lovely, very friendly and welcoming . A real gem! I will be back. Thank you
The greatest massage I’ve ever had the last 5 years in Edinburgh. Highly recommended and the ladies there were so friendly. Thank you ✨
I I walked in here on a Sunday afternoon and I was able to be seen straight away. It was such an incredible massage and it really got the knots in my back out. It was reasonably priced and the staff are absolutely lovely!
I would give 10 stars if possible!! While visiting Edinburgh, my daughter and I decided to go here for massages. The massages were absolutely amazing!! We didn't want to leave. Thank you so much! We will come back when we visit again!
AMAZING!!I booked a Thai massage this morning for sore tense muscles. The lady , I didn't get her name, was absolutely fantastic. She focussed on my key areas asking me how I was throughout. She worked so hard on me, leaving me feeling 100% better. The room is clean and good temperature. Such a friendly place, I wish I could visit more often but I'm in Cardiff! I've had some massages in my time , but this was the best by far.
This place is fantastic. I get massages regularly and this is among the best I’ve ever had… and absolutely the best in Edinburgh. I highly recommend Aree. She is intuitive and attentive… always with the perfect pressure. I would give 10 stars if I could.
I had a massage here this week. Beware, they are not professional masseurs and they are largely inexperienced. I have had hundreds of massages in the past mostly from trained massage therapists. The woman I had was very nice but could barely speak any English so it was difficult to explain what I needed. She applied a lot of oil and rubbed a lot but it was not like a real massage. She had no knowledge of anatomy like a professional masseur. A trained massage would know how to work a muscle to relieve tightness and pain. Sorry, but I wouldn’t recommend this place.
Got a massage and it was amazing!!! Staff is very sweet and welcoming. We booked an appointment for 90 mins and had the Thai Combo! Asked about the pressure and focus areas to cater our massages. Loved how clean the place was and felt very relaxed after our service! Thank you!!!!
The very best massage I’ve had in my life. The Thai/Swedish combination massage takes the best of both. Amazing! Highly recommended!
