| - Hammam Spa used to be my favourite spa in the city. Unfortunately, I need to find a new favourite spa. I went on Friday evening, after work, with a few girlfriend's. Our spa experience didn't start out very peaceful, as we had to wait to speak to the receptionist for about 15 minutes, and then when we went to change in the rooms, all of the lockers had not been stocked with towels or robes, so we had to go ask the front desk for assistance, and then wait another 10/15 minutes for her to restock the lockers. When you arrive early to enjoy the steam, it's annoying that you're pushed back almost 30 minutes due to Hammam. Moving on, when we finally went into the steam, which is normally my favourite part, it stunk so incredibly bad. It smelled like someone with bad BO on the subway.
My massage, however, was amazing. No complaints there. But afterwards, when we went to relax in the relaxation room and to have some tea, they were out of tea. They were just not restocking anything. When spending $150 + tip (so $180 for a 1 hour massage), I expect to have a smooth process from start to finish. And it was just a flop.
There are other spas in the city - I think I'll explore those ones.
