Eden Day Spa

Went today for the 80 minute essential massage from Groupon. It was great. It started with this back srucb cream, you know the one with the little balls… which made it all tingly lol. Then it was a mix between a Swedish/​deep tissue and she did hot stones on my legs and feet and it was soo relaxing. She was not too talkitive she made sure I was comfortable with her technique and said a little but she could tell the times when I didn’t really want to talk the décor was ok it was a little crowded in there and when I went for the massage it was on the same level as the lounge area and near the bathrooms so I was a little nervous that it was going to be loud but the room has its own music playing and the doors to do a pretty good job of blocking it out so it was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. I started dozing off! I know I will definitely be back with my husband but I will be requesting the same lady just to be on the safe side.

DO NOT GET A MANI/​PEDI HERE! (And you couldn’t pay me to get a massage here either).
I cannot understand why this place has so many positive reviews. It must be a scam.
The staff was very nice, so I feel bad for writing a negative review. In fact this is the first negative review I’ve ever actually written. It’s also the first time I’ve ever been uncomfortable enough to leave a pedicure after it started (and I’ve been to a lot of suspect places in NYC). So I feel like people should have a clearer picture of what they are walking into amongst all of the glowing reviews on this page.
If you go to get a mani/​Pedi, you’ll take an elevator to the basement. The whole place was dark and dirty, but the basement was especially dark and grimy, which is pretty scary in the middle of New York City. About 15 wide armed foam (I think?) chairs lined the perimeter of the large room. It had a dark cement floor covered by a gross old area rug in the middle from what I could tell. No foot baths or sinks or comfy reclining chairs. Each chair was covered with an old bed sheet to hide who knows what. The girl doing my nails opened a door to what looked like a huge garage and grabbed a dirty old basket with DEFINITELY NOT SANITIZED tools. Then she turned on two different air purifiers /​noise machines (which added to the «this is where we kill people ambiance»). She then brought out a wood bucket with hot water for me to put my feet in that had a couple of rose petals and a chunk of a lime. By the time she pulled the dirtiest nail file I have ever seen, out of the dirtiest basket I have ever seen, while I was sitting on the dirtiest chair I’d ever sat on, in the creepiest basement I had ever been in, I had almost had enough. Out of respect for the very nice girl giving me my pedicure, I was still going to stay. That is until it became clear that she had no training and didn’t know what she was doing with the very dirty cuticle clipper in her hand. It was obviously not her fault, but after 10 minutes in that basement I was so creeped out, I decided it was time to go. I said I was sorry but that I needed to get on that elevator, go upstairs and get out of there.
I basically sprinted up, changed, settled at the front desk as fast as I could and ran away.
People who check Unilocal first expect that they know what to expect before they go places. I was mislead and I hope someone else reads this and doesn’t make the same mistake.

Came here with my Fiancé to experience our first couples spa massage. We had come across this spa by Groupon. The place is easily accessible by subway. It isn’t the fanciest spa but it is clean and well maintained. The locker room was a bit tight but again clean and well kept. They have a nice lounge room while you wait for your service. The massage was such a great experience! Very relaxing! And the masseuse would ask to make sure I was doing ok but it wasn’t smothering at all and rather reassuring. They also provided complimentary lunch after where we opted for the lo mein. Tasted good! I recommend!

Well I really disliked the massage.
I went with my husband same feeling!
So disappointing when you want to relax and be chilled but it’s the total opposite
Don’t ever take a meal there
I bought a groupon it might be the reason but even with a voucher it shouldn’t be that bad

The first time I visited Eden was because my body was so sore from work. Since the massage Groupon was sold out, I bought the massage + facial deal and I’m so glad I did because both services were amazing. My masseuse had a golden touch and really worked out the knots I had. She also used hot stones which were relaxing. My facialist was so thorough when she cleaned my pores. It was refreshing. My skin had never felt so clear. Eden also feeds you, which was different, and I personally liked it. I always get the chicken salad sandwich.

My husband and I got massages at Eden Day Spa from Travelzoo. We enjoy getting massages and trying different spas in the city and I must say, Eden Day Spa is up there on our list of great spas in NYC.
It’s in a great location and the receptionists and staff are all very friendly. After checking in, we gave our shoes to the receptionist for slippers and then she showed us to the lockers to change.
After changing we were brought to their relaxation area where you can sit, relax, and enjoy a plate of fresh fruit and lemon water before your massage. The chairs in the relaxation room were AWESOME and oooooh sooo comfy! They’re like huge comfy reclining chairs the you would have in a media/​movie room if you are rich! Seriously, after a day of cardio boxing, I was in need of some relaxation and sure enough, I was relaxed and ready for a nap the minute I sat in their comfy chair!
We were given a plate of fresh fruit and lemon water before our massage, which I thought was nice as a litle snack before you’re off to relax. And as for the massage, it was AMAZING!!! Again, we’ve been to a few spas in the city and I have to say, I truly felt relaxed during my massage. Normally, it takes me a minute to get comfortable with my masseuse, but I was completely relaxed and ready to sleep during my massage.
After our massage we were given a choice of either a tuna sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, or pasta. We selected the pasta and OMG, I was expecting like Italian pasta but we were given this delicious and tasty lo-​mein. I inhaled my dish because it was sooo good and because I couldn’t wait to eat! My husband couldn’t get over how quickly I ate my noodles considering he got his bowl before me and was still eating. LOL
After our delicious bowl of noodles we were treated to another plate of fresh fruit and lemon water. If I could take a short nap before leaving, I totally would have… after a full belly and a wonderful massage, those comfy chairs were inviting enough for a little nap.
Now that I’ve been to Eden Day Spa, I’m going to look out for my specials/​vouchers on Groupon, LivingSocial, and Travelzoo.

I really needed a massage after not having one for the longest time (and plus I did a lot of walking in the last week due to my family being in town). I used MassageNow to book a massage last minute at this place.
It was wonderful! They bring you to an area to change and put your clothes away, and you sit in the lounge area, full of comfortable chairs and dim lighting. I then had my masseuse come bring me to the room and I almost fell asleep because the massage was THAT comfortable (I think I might have actually fell asleep).
Afterward, she offered food to me: sandwiches or spaghetti. The thing was, I actually had a lot of food earlier that day that I decided not to eat. Perhaps next time! I just ended up drinking some water and eating some fruit.
Service is impeccable here. Will definitely come back soon!

I’m reviewing this place as someone who doesn’t go to spas or gets massages often. There’s a good Groupon deal that is $ 65 which comes with a 65 minute balancing massage and meal. My friend made the appointment and at first glance, the spa looks small. You change into slippers (not the most comfortable) before you head inside and that’s where the magic happens. You walk into a zen of tall plants, sound of waterfall, plenty of cozy recliners and dim lighting that sets the mood for a spa. It’s a long hallway of space. The locker room is all the way in the back. I wish they had the combination lockers versus holding onto the key with the wristband. A clean robe was already folded and waiting when we opened our lockers.
Once we came outside, someone got us and took us to the massage room which was on another floor. We got lucky with the duo massage room and they got to work quickly. I’m going to guess the balancing massage is a mix of everything. My masseuse Nancy gave me hot stone, head massage, what felt like deep tissue at certain points and some swedish moves too. I enjoyed the head massage and hot stone a lot. The pressure points in my back, which bothers me and during the massage felt quite intense, feels much better after the massage. I didn’t get a headache as I have in past massages at another spa. They let you know when you’re done and take you back outside to the lounge area.
The masseuses took our order for the meal which is either a sandwich or pasta. They also provide a plate of fruit and lemon-​infused water. We got the pasta and it wasn’t shabby! It came piping hot where you could see the steam rise. Chicken, shrimp, mushroom and assorted vegetables were mixed in the pasta. It’s no gourmet pasta but does a pretty good job for a spa.
They don’t bother you for how long you stay. I would definitely consider going back, especially with the Groupon deal. Relaxing experience and great deal!

one star because yvonne is terrific, anyway zero stars not possible.
i had waxing here. they use talcum powder which is carcinogenic.
the waxing room was dark & filthy.
i hope yvonne finds a better place to work.

Groupon introduced me to Eden Day Spa and I liked my first experience so I’ve been coming here ever since.
I called to make a same day appointment and the spa was able to squeeze in two appts — one for me and one for the bf. A locker, robe and slippers are provided. After you change, you can relax in the waiting area with cozy chairs and fake trees and dim lighting. I’m all about the massage so even though the place can be cheesy, I’d come back for the massage.
My masseuse was well experienced. I got a body balancing massage that including hot stones, knuckle cracking and deep stretches. I always come out relaxed and refreshed. The food is pretty decent– I’ve had the pasta and it’s quite flavorful. There’s a shower you can use to wash off all that oil. Come here if you want to unwind with a massage and enjoy a relaxing experience!

Dear Yvette,
Thank you for you response. I think you should listen to what clients tell you. The nail buff was very dirty and old, with greenish stuff on it. Even if the therapist had sanitized it, nails buffs should be clean and new! If you get infection it’s very hard to get rid of it.

Extremely satisfied with all here.
Highly professionally trained massage staff.
By far the best massage ever received by someone who had never met my issues before.
Staff serious and kind. Highly effective, respectful and honest. I had forgotten my watch in the locker at closing time and the next morning they readily recuperated it for me.
I highly recommend it.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Paid approx $ 178 for two 55 minute 4 handed massage. Not including tip. then they spring an additional tax on the full value before the discount on groupon so we were double taxed.
This spa is a rip off considering that
1– they massaged my face and foot for 55 minute
2– after asking to massage my back they said it is not included in the groupon. No exception to that rule.
3– they were unskilled and untrained masseuses. They can hurt people.
Do not go to this place.

Found a Groupon.
The place is a little janky and after tip it wasn’t that much of a steal on the massage. It’s dated, dark, dirty and the whole free lunch thing is bizarre.
The lounge area if filled with retired pedicure chairs. It’s like sitting in a garage with random plants and a fountain.
Spend a couple extra bucks and head to a nicer spa. You’ll thank me later.

This was my first time getting a massage, I chose the Lava Stone 60 minutes for $ 120.
The massage itself was great! The lady (not sure about her name) was very thorough and friendly, she asked if I was comfortable, if there were any spots i’d like her to focus on, etc.
At the end they offer food options (tuna sandwich, pasta, chicken sandwich, etc), I just had the fruit which was kind of gross/​not fresh.
The décor is kinda rinky dink so I don’t think I would come back.
Bottom line–
Pros: Customer service & massage
Cons: Atmosphere & food selection

I had a groupon deal for a massage and a facial.
The facial:
I have acne and am taking accutane. My dermatologist suggested that I get a facial to moisturize my face and help things along.
The spa asked for no paper work regarding my medical history and skin concerns. I assumed that the esthetician would ask, but she didn’t. When I told her that my skin was sensitive because of the medication, she clearly did not know what it was. I would have assumed that trained esthetician have some knowledge of acne treatment especially ones that have such a large reputation for complications.
In response to my dry skin, she suggested that I stop applying the medication to my forehead, which is absurd as it is (1) taken orally and (2) taken for a set number of months. She also kept getting product in my eyes, which has never been a problem for me before. Naturally, the next day I have a breakout on my forehead.
Plus of the facial: my skin is no longer quite so dry. The esthetician was very nice.
The massage:
The therapist did not ask what my problem areas are. Pressure was inconsistent, sometimes it would be really light and other times she would press very hard on areas that did not have muscles causing pain because only bone was there.
The worst part was that the head rest was sunken into the table, causing pain to my neck – the very problem area I had hoped the massage would address. I moved my head to just lie on the table because of the pain, she moved my head back to finish certain spots.
The room was also freezing and the blanket was very small.
Amenities:
There are no bathrooms inside the locker room. The sauna smelled funny and the water bucket was empty, so I didn’t use it. I enjoyed the jungle/​waterfall area, but I would not really call it the typical upscale spa environment, as in spots it appears rundown. Lunch was very good though. I would have enjoyed it more had I had time to shower off the gunk from the massage but oh well.
When I was checking out, I was asked to pay tax, which I wouldn’t have a problem with normally but nowhere on Groupon (that I could find) stated that tax was not included.
Overall, I felt like it was not really a customizable spa experience as neither the facial nor the massage was really adapted for my issues.

My friend and I came here yesterday for a «spa» manicure and I am not pleased. I wanted to do something small with my best friend and had $ 65 store credit. Their least expensive service was the manicure ($ 30), so we both decided on that.
My friend got a solid color, while I opted for French nails (extra $ 5). For $ 30+, this is rubbish… I could have gotten a mani-​pedi around my neighborhood in Brooklyn; with tips included and a longer lasting manicure. My friend’s polish was out of line, my manicurist was constantly erasing her mistakes and did not seal the polish at rim. I have done my nails enough to know a competent process. Today, three of my ten nails are cracked and ready to chip.
The cleanliness of this place is an illusion. The manicure area was in the basement and the floor reeked of ass. The sofa cover and towels were filthy! Maybe it was washed but I certainly could not tell. Bleach it for that clean look… please! No one is going to look at a stain from 10 years ago and think it is clean. They would not analyze or ponder on that possibility. Furthermore, from what I seen, the manicurist just wiped down the tools on my towel after my use. I am praying that she sanitized it before using it on me and had sanitized it after my use.
Hospitality was great, which reflected my 2-​star rating rather than 1. The way they answered their phone and accommodated me was satisfactory. The staffs were friendly… however lack the skills necessary.

I’ve been to Eden Day Spa about 10 times and couldn’t speak more highly of it. The massages are always great, and the spa is welcoming and relaxing. Appointments come with a complimentary lunch, which is pretty good!
I also hosted part of my best friend’s Bachelorette Party here, and it was great for a large group. We all got our separate services then hung out in the downstair lounge/​spa area where some girls got mani/​pedis and others just relaxed with tea.
Lastly, there are always great deals for Eden Day Spa on Groupon/​Living Social worth looking out for.

Eden Day Spa is really kitschy. I’m having trouble reconciling the mismatch, so here we go.
It was the end of another semester of teaching, and my sister and I came upon this through Groupon.
We arrived late, like 8PM late. The lockers were kind of small, but again, whatever.
Regina gave me an insanely relaxing deep tissue massage. Highly recommended. You feel like a different person.
Then you’re ushered into this dark lounge with palm trees and waterfalls and offered pasta or tuna fish sandwiches. What it really feels like is you’re going into a garage with plants from home depot laying around to set the mood. While you’re eating your food in your robes, you really just want to get up and go home to retain the blissful memory of the massage.
Still, I’d go back. The extra trimmings were a little over the top and silly, but I dig.

This is my favorite spa. I love the atmosphere they create with the plants and massage chairs in the middle. The peaceful music combined with the waterfall noises and dim lit room makes it much more relaxing. After you finish with all your services, you get to relax in this area with food, a variety of fruits and a beverage. They give you a few food options to choose from. I personally enjoy the pasta.
The services are a bit pricey for regular price. I’ve paid full price before but I’ve also been here another two times after with a groupon. The groupon is a much better deal and is offered quite frequently, just be on the look out for them.
