The area
Address
Neighborhood: Princes Street and Gardens
Glaswegians tease Edinburghers that their High Street is only half one, since buildings only line one side. But what they don’t say is how extraordinary the views are from Princes Street as a result. From here you look onto expansive and decorative public gardens beneath the mighty basalt cliffs on which Edinburgh’s Castle stands proud above the rest of the dramatic old town skyline. Yet many of those on Princes Street look the other way, as they’re concerned with chain store shopping or catching the tram or a train at main train station Waverley. But it’s not all utility here; the Scottish National Gallery rewards purposeless wandering, and December’s huge winter market in the gardens begins a season of revelry which ends with Hogmanay, Britain’s largest New Year’s street party.

- smnthkllyReading, United Kingdom181 contributionsIncredibeThis is a beautiful spa. The atmosphere is great, dark, warm, tranquil immediately upon entering. The room is warm and also dark and smells lovely. The massage was amazing and I felt very comfortable even with the current covid regulations. Bianka was very friendly and helpful and she did a great massage. I would highly recommend a visit here - I personally believe the price is very reasonable for a good 60 min massage. When I am next in Edinburgh I will return for sure.Hi smnthklly, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Bianka is delighted you enjoyed your treatment and felt safe with our covid measures.Written October 2, 2020This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited September 2020Traveled with friendsWritten September 27, 2020

- RuaraidhStornoway, United Kingdom152 contributionsFirst massage experience and won’t be my last!My first time having any form of massage so I was a little bit worried and sceptical that it would make any difference. I play rugby and do weight training so a constant few aches and pains in my body has been the normal for years. My girlfriend and I went for the couples massage and it was absolutely amazing. They make you feel at ease on arrival and let you get ready before starting off slow with some stretching and warming up before getting stuck right in. They were both small ladies but my god did they put some pressure down. She worked multiple knots in my back and asked regularly if I was feeling the difference and worked the area until I did. I don’t stay in Edinburgh sadly or i would absolutely make this a regular visit!Hi Ruaraidh91, Thank you so much for your fantastic review and feedback. We are really happy that we could help with your pains, and that you both had such a positive experience here. Hope to see you next time you are in Edinburgh..

Wonderful massage and treatment yesterday by Puy. I didn’t realise how stiff I was until I found myself moving around more easily and feeling more relaxed today. I chose the rose oil which smelled beautiful. I was so impressed by the way my joints were checked for movement and any problems before starting. The foot scrub was very relaxing and has done wonders for my hard skin. My son had a massage at the same time and was very impressed too. Unfortunately I don’t have the name of his therapist but he said she was excellent. I’ve booked another session next weekend and am looking forward to continuing treatments.
