“I really enjoyed the new open evening event, it was great to see the fresh spaces and they all look really premium- the salt stone experience sounds great and I love the new products, I feel the oud smell could be stronger as I didn’t get any distinctive fragrance from this
It would be good for further events to have smaller groups with a properly timed treatment for each session, as some sessions made us early for the next one by 30 minutes as they went really quickly
It would also be good to have some sort of dinner/grazing or food options available as it was right between dinner time and the snacks provided were quite limited”
“I am always impressed by the service I receive when I visit 1877 . I don’t go on a regular basis but the staff still remember my name and always make me feel very welcome. The spa is the perfect size so that it feels that you can have some quiet time but is also perfect for visits with groups of friends. There is a very calm , relaxed atmosphere and everyone is very respectful. I only attend the women only sessions and greatly appreciate that these are provided. The only reason I haven’t awarded 5 stars is because of the lack of any decent imaginative vegan options in the cafe. If these were available I would probably eat there too.”
“This is a lovely place to go on your own to rest and recuperate. The mix of hot and cold is wonderful and the relaxation room is beautiful. I had a scrub which was totally amazing experience to end.”
“We had a lovely mornig at the Turkish Baths. The facilities are good and great value for money. We also really enjoyed our massages, will defintiely be coming back. It's great having this kind of facility in the city.”
“Small but perfectly formed! The baths are really beautiful and everywhere felt clean. The staff were lovely. The cafe had a limited menu so we chose to have lunch elsewhere but would definitely visit the baths again.”
“It is a gem. You leave feeling you’ve escaped the chaos of the world for a few hours. My only criticism is that some groups of women see it as the time and place to shriek scream and talk at a volume that literally made my head ache. There are several notices asking for peace and quiet but it’s completely ignored. People of course need and should talk - but at that deafening volume? Perhaps the staff could reinforce this request at booking?”
“I really enjoyed a women's only morning in the spa on Thursday morning. It was quiet and relaxing. The spa was clean, and products used were high quality. I would like a stronger 'spa smell' throughout, but the aromatherapy room smelled nice. A larger choice of magazines in the relaxation room would also be nice - I forgot to bring my own. Towels and robes were provided, and were fluffy and clean. A facial with Olivia was really excellent, and she kindly offered to wait 5 minutes after my alloted time to give me time for a drink, which was very thoughtful - my skin was glowing after. There are some finishing touches that would make the non-spa spaces (toilets, corridors) feel more luxurious rather than clinical/office-like (e.g. nicer soap dispensers, fragrance/plants/ornaments in the toilets, hand towels instead of noisy hand dryers, artwork on the walls) but that's more about feel - everything was functional and clean. I'll definitely return.”
“Although the services and the baths itself was amazing, the ambience was to be questioned. There were groups of women who were talking so loudly that it ruined the atmosphere of calmness that I would expect within the spa”
“Visited for a massage which was fantastic. Overall the facilities are great, but there is a lingering damp smell in most areas which isn’t very pleasant.”
“I love it here: calm, relaxing, beautiful. However it seemed like the steam room was less steamy than normal, and the plunge pool not as cold..
Still a very enjoyable experience though. Also had a great full body massage from Georgie.”
“Had a lovely visit to the Turkish Baths this week in a mixed session. The experience was great from start to finish. Easy to register, change and access the baths. Plenty of drink options available throughout the session. Rooms were pleasantly quiet. Will visit again and try a treatment next time”
“We love the Turkish Baths and always have a lovely relaxing time. Recently we went on a Sunday evening. It was great but a couple of things were not quite 5/5. Firstly the Niagra Falls shower wasn’t working and the cold plunge was quite ‘hairy’ and could have done with being colder. I realise that it might not be easy to do anything about those but worth a mention.”
