Wall Street Bath & Spa

Awesome!

Been here 3 – 4 times always weekday daytime. Pros: location, multilevel, resting area a bit dingy but had some rustic charm to it, food was pretty decent, huge indoor pool (was odd to see people getting private swimming lesson there on 2 occasions), once came with a groupon with platsa and it was great and a guy was good at it, he offered massage but was not very pushy and simple No thanks did the job. Cons: on several occasions I saw dead roaches there so cleanliness is an issue. Twice I was there and maintenance/​repairs were done and I understand they need to upkeep the place but they open 11am-​11pm. Maybe they should start like 7am-​11am. Every time I was there place was almost empty never saw more than 10 – 15 patrons but I attributed it to being weekday business hrs. Place has video surveillance but I saw a couple getting at it in the jacuzzi so needless to say I opt out ever since that, once walk in on 2 guys at sauna. Maybe do frequent rounds Staff could be more helpful especially to 1^st time visitors. Not byob place but twice I saw groups sneak in some could be a good or a bad thing I guess. Front desk girls lack customer service skills. Place definitely got some great potentials, too bad they are not utilized.

Good things:
–Waitress downstairs is very sweet and helpful (blonde, don’t remember her name)
–On second floor is smoking room.
–Banya is always good.
Now bad:
–Place is very dirty, has mold in shower rooms, dust, etc.
–Towels are old and some of them have stains. One of the towels had a spider. Guy who is giving towels asked whats wrong. I said there is a spider, for that he said ”So what?”.
–Also new reception girl is rude!!! When we were leaving i told nicely that «In smoking area is huge dead cockroach, please, let the cleaning staff know» and she said «Maybe its time to quit smoking, so you will not see it anymore».
Totally ruined my relaxed mood!
I used to love this place, but not sure if i want go there again.

Very dirty and disgusting place. You can tell the pools haven’t been cleaned in a very long time from all the black stains everywhere.
As I got out of the pool we saw a man who spat in it, very gross.
Would never come back here

I didn’t even hold my appointment here– the Unilocal reviews scared me away. I called on Wednesday and made an appointment for the 14^th. The receptionist took my credit card for a deposit (totally normal for spas) She told me their cancelation policy was 48 hours in advance and that when i came I could use the $ 100 deposit towards services, or pay with another form and get the $ 100 refunded back on the card.
I called today a week and a half early to cancel my appointment and the receptionist informs me I may not be able to get my deposit back because it’s valentines day. I stated that the receptionist never mentioned this once, it’s not noted on their website and demanded my money back. The receptionist had quite the attitude but ended up refunding the card over the phone (hopefully). I’ll find out in a few days if it actually went through.
This plus all the claims they don’t honor their prices on the website makes me think, STAY AWAY.

Cons: 1) the receptionist most all of them not friendly and not nice, they even never will welcome you; 2) food is so so, not so delicious as usually at Russian places; 3) sometimes some rooms are closed.
Pros: 1) nice and big place; 2) has a souvenir shop; 3) has a big swimming pool and jacuzzi; 4) the waitresses is very nice, some of them, some of them is lazy.

I don’t get it with all the people complaining. I have been here on numerous occasions, always a good time. The staff is not the best but I usually just ignore them and do my thing. Food and drinks are pretty good from what I had. Blitzes are delicious.

It was my first time in such disgusting spa ever. I usually go to Brooklyn, but my friend asked me to try this place and I regret every minute I spend there. The most dirtiest, discussing place ever. Food is awful, people are not polite at all, I have no idea why people are still going there. Please if anyone want to try real Russian food with most cleanest kitchen and better service choose Brooklyn. All spas there are way better than spa 88, everything is not good, the showers are so unclean that I will call health dep on them. The toilets are discussing, service people touch your food with bear hands, no gloves. Showers are broken, smell is unbearable. Really people if u respect yourself don’t go there. I was really shocked to see such discussing place ever. True review hopefully it will help someone not to spend their precious time on that place.

We go to a lot spas. It is small, but it’s clean and the saunas are hot. Super powerful jets in the whirlpool. Go early if you want a table or reserve one in advance. A very comfortable place if you are a solo woman. No Russian guys perving on you. Like most Russian baths, I wish they had shampoos and lotion. But you can buy stuff there. Lots of towels. Cute wool hats to buy. We did not eat there but the food looked good and the portions generous. We’ll be going back.

Costumer service at front desk was very inpatient and unhelpful.
The layout of the place is bad, when you come out of the sauna, you have to enter the hallways, which are very cold.
But overall its not a total no.

Came here tonight to get away after a long week. The place was great — very relaxing — nice customers who were very friendly — staff was «ok” — not too friendly but that’s ok. The place could use a face lift in some areas as it seems a little run down and old school. Still a nice place considering it was almost empty and very relaxing. If you’re looking for a modern spa — this isn’t the place for you, but it’s still easy to enjoy.
3 stars because the pool room was a little cold, you could smell the food downstairs in the pool (strong odor) and because there was a ladder and other construction equipment visible which doesn’t help the ambiance of a spa feel. Otherwise, would have given 4 stars.

My friend decided to celebrate his birthday here. The place isn’t as big as I expected. The sauna’s here are pretty good. The jets in the jacuzzi are powerful unlike the other places I usually go to. Their pool isn’t that deep.
They have a lunch special that ranges from around $ 12-​$ 20. With this you get 3 meals in which you can pick from. This includes dishes such as borch, pelmeni, vareniki, etc. Everything tasted delicious besides the vareneki. It was too mushy and felt a little bit under cooked.
The employees are kind and friendly and helped us set up the TV so we can watch a UFC fight me and my friends anticipated.

Response from the owner like 4 months later?
«you asre full of shit, you been told our prices are change before you come in, so go f – k your self»
Thanks Dmitry

Staff were really aggressive and shouted at us.
A woman had told us prior to booking our groupon that we could swap a 60 minute facial for a 30 minute massage, then after we had ordered our groupon, we went to book and she denied ever saying that. She then went and got the manager, he started screaming down the phone at us, really, really aggressively. Up until this point, although the woman was denying saying something she said, there was no aggression. We were so shocked and asked him calmly to please stop shouting at us, and then he started roaring at the girl.
Scary place. Don’t give them business.

I love this place.
I have read reviews that this place wasn’t clean and the staff was unfriendly but what do you expect from an underground bath-​house in NYC run by Russians?
You get more than you could ask for with the $ 40 admission price on the weekend. You can ogle gorgeous foreign and domestic co-​eds. Eat delicious Russian cuisine (not included with admission) and experience skin tingling hot and cold therapies from open to close. Pay at the end.
As for the staff, they are friendly, they are just not there to be your friend. They do their jobs and they are polite but they do not waste their time with inane pleasantries. This is a place to relax, not perform.
If you go on the weekend it will be hard to get a seat, so come early and plop a bag or a book on a chair so you have a place to rest later. Or, if your in a group, rent a sofa in the lounge cave for $ 5 an hour. It is completely worth the money to have a private place to rest.
They have a lovely pool and jacuzzi where children usually play.
I have seen children in the saunas, forced to endure the heat by their parents. It was a clear example of culture collide and it was a bit disturbing.
The smoking lounge is perfect for cigars and cigarettes and is usually a godsend to anyone who has had to go outside for a smoke. At Spa88 you can smoke in your robe, in your bathing suit, while watching tv, sipping a drink, indoors.
So when you get your locker, ask for a tall one and do not keep food in your bag because you will want to hang your bag rather than let it sit on the floor of the locker. Why? Because cockroaches have been spotted. Not in the locker rooms but at a glance scurrying behind a fridge. So use your common sense and shake out your gear before you enter your home.

Nice place to relax.
Plan on spending some time here, a few hours at least. Great for small groups or couples. There are plenty of saunas and a pool.
I went on a weekend with a group and had a great time. The locker rooms are not in the best condition and the place can definitely get a bit crowded but the customers all seemed pretty respectful of each other.
I can really only compare my experience here too Korean saunas — see my reviews of Spa Castle or Kings Spa. This place is definitely smaller and does not have as much to do but still a great place to relax and spend some time. Make sure to bring a bathing suit!

This is more like a 3 ½ star review but I’ll give them a bump up.
Never had been here before but came for a friend to celebrate her birthday. At first I was put off by the low stars, however, I walked away with an overall very pleasant experience.
This isn’t spa castle, that’s for sure, but it is in Manhattan and still has a luxurious feel to it. The pool area has a decent size hot tub and a rather large indoor pool which we visited several times. There was a steam room (which I never enjoy) 2 dry saunas, a cold room and a cold plunge. My favorite room by far was the Shvitza (?) a good size dry sauna with a cold water spouts in it. I could have stayed forever in that room because it reminded me so much of the hot beach next to a cool ocean. Just absolute heaven.
I’m knocking off one star for their cafeteria area. While I thought their infused vodkas were good, the place was a perpetual mess for the 6 hours we were there. We ordered food which they put in wrong and then kept us waiting a ½ hour to correct it. Meanwhile NO ONE came to clean off the table we were at or the two next to us. It definitely put a damper on the experience but didn’t ruin it by any means.
At only a $ 40 entrance fee, I’d be happy to return but would probably skip ordering any food. Nice little find!

Was invited by a bunch of friends for a guys night out after a long stressful day at work. At first I came in with a negative mind set from previous visits years ago. As I was never fond of this place because of the much better available russian bath houses in Brooklyn.
I must say there is a clear reason why they were busy. More or less the upkeep of the place is clean and we got to relax and sit comfortably with a large group of almost 20 people.
The dry rooms arent as hot as the other spots I am accustom going to but they did the job. The dry room with the ice buckets inside hit the spot and we got a few good steam sessions in. The group that I was with for some reason is against going into the wet steam but because of one of the rooms being crowded at one point we decided to go into and it def hit the spot. There was steams coming from diff levels. The room was renovated with a modern touch. Also caught a nice session in there.
The food reviews arent as good though. There food is barely average as appose to Russian bath houses (banyas) are known for some good authentic russian meal after a great steam. Here it just doesnt do it and we had to go somewhere else to eat afterwards. The girl who serves the juices and the snacks was super nasty and acted a bit unprofessional during the couple of times I got something from the juice/​snack bar. But I guess I have to be in her shoes for a day before I judge.
Over all feedback is that this place is def good to try once especially if you need a bath house in the city you might even love it. Otherwise if brooklyn is not far for you there are much better spots in bk and I will leave some reviews about them next time I visit.
Till next time Unilocalers

Came to place after 2 years and just left feeling like a gazillion bucks. The place is well kept and still the same as I experienced it two years ago. Everything I said was in my first review so read that but yes I’ll be back again veryyy soon. Saunas are so good for your body during anytime of the year but especially during the winter months. I feel great. Now. time to have dinner.

Had a great time there! I am kind of impressed this place has such bad reviews.
Went on a Saturday afternoon. the place was almost empty, very clean, plenty of rooms to go to and also got the chance to see the VIP room as we were there for a bachelor party. We had great dumplings (so good), and a hooka for the room. EVerything was really made to make us feel comfortable and we had a really good time. I recommend it to anyone looking for a spa.
