Hammam des Bains du Marais

On level -2, there’s a small but clean dry sauna and a fairly spacious Turkish bath—both function well and serve their purpose. There was jelly inside the Turkish bath with camphor and other aromatic spices to rub it into your skin. However, anything involving humidity, like the Turkish bath and showers, had a noticeable moldy smell. It wasn’t overwhelming, but definitely present. The relaxation area on the same floor didn’t meet my expectations. It’s quite dark, with damp couches and poor air circulation. Between sessions, I found myself heading up to level -1 just to get some fresh air and breathe more comfortably. We paid 50 euro/person on a Sunday evening (weekend price).

Absolutely incredible and luxurious spa experience. The facility is so nicely designed and cleanly kept. The progression from steam sauna, exfoliation, massage and cool plunge and ice room were the perfect escape from the hot spell in the Paris summer (though it’d be great anytime of the year). The staff is so accommodating and made sure we enjoyed the most of our experience. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth the service and experience and I would certainly go back next time I’m in Paris.

I found out about this spa through a recommendation and I was really surprised, it's a wonderful and very comfortable place, I was very well received from the moment I booked my reservation until the time I left!

I hate to write bad reviews… but I found the experience disappointing. The staff was very nice, though the services - pregnancy massage and facial - are not at the standing, or level, of their (high) price. I paid 170 euros for a 50 minutes massage and a 30 minutes facial. The massage was shorten by 10 minutes without explanation, she forgot to do my other arm, someone showed up in the room in the middle of the massage, and we could hear all what was going on next door (bikini hair removal, sic.). At some point she was checking her phone, the skull massage was a joke, and I did the last half of the pregnancy massage flat on the back… to eventually discover, later during the facial, that the table could actually lift the upper part, which would have really helped me breath better. The facial had no interest what so ever, no explanation or extra care, and I kept getting product in the eyes. The place is very well-redesigned, furnished and the atmosphere is clean and nice. But I wouldn’t come back, and I wouldn’t recommend the place either. Sorry…

My partner and I each booked a 50-minute deep tissue massage. Mine was pretty good— firm pressure, professional and kind masseuse. My partner however, got started 10 minutes late and ended 10 minutes early (30 minutes of massage in total) and was really just slathered in oil with zero pressure, claiming it was the worst massage she’d ever had. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t go again.

Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed in my service. I paid €95 for a facial. The room was pretty, and the lighting and ambiance was nice. The facialist was nice, but didn’t seem very intentional. I could hear her opening the products, squirting them in her hand and then throwing the products back in the bag, which just took me out of the moment. The bed did not have comfy, warm sheets like I’m used to at a spa. It was a bed covered in tissue paper (maybe for hygiene? I’ve never seen this before though) and a bath towel covering me. The products used on me were not shown to me beforehand but they were burning my face and when I looked at them, they looked like products you would buy at Monoprix, not something you spend €95 on a facial for. The facialist also kept drying my face with paper towels instead of a dry towel, which felt awful. I wanted to sit down and drink the tea/water they offered me afterward but an alarm began blaring, however nobody seemed concerned and I ended up leaving. I understand this wasn’t their fault, but it just ended on a sour note. If the alarm had gone off during the actual facial, I would’ve been really upset and felt bad for those that had to experience that. I’ve gotten many facials in my life, and for much cheaper I’ve experienced better. For the price, I was expecting a lot more and although I wanted to return to try the hammam, these reviews are making me thing otherwise.

It was a very nice travel to traditional Moroccan hammam. Khadija did one of the best scrub experiences I’ve got so far! My skin is now clean and soft. You need to be aware and conscious that it’s an oriental way of doing it before hurrying to write a bad review, for me it was a very positive experience today and I’ll be back, inchallah !

Usually I don’t write reviews, but I have write one because this was the worst most expensive decision I made on my entire trip. Unfortunately I jumped to book a massage and scrub here after seeing it was available on a major French holiday, but maybe that should have been a red flag. Then I was reading the reviews before going and man was it scary what I was reading, but since it wasn’t refundable I hoped for the best. But my low expectations were met and it was even worse than that. I booked a hammam and scrub that was 1 hour total with a 30 minute scrub, but without exaggerating the scrub was 10 minutes long, absolute rip off. I even tried to ask at the front desk if it was the wrong service but the conversation didn’t go anywhere since I don’t speak French and she didn’t understand me. Then after I sat in the sauna and I saw at least 4 cockroaches, of course now totally freaked out. Then I got the massage and while it was nice there was almost no pressure and I had even paid more to have deep tissue. And to top it all off, while I clearly cannot prove it, immediately after leaving (we’re talking 15 minutes) someone stole my card info (they had my card, name and address on file) and spent 250 at lululemon, tried a second order but it was declined and tried another charge at some E Global company. Needless to say the card flagged it, but not before the 250 went through. Gotta love having a horrible experience and now having to deal with a declined card while on vacation and disputing 250$ that you did not charge. I emailed lululemon to cancel the order so they don’t get the clothing, hope that happens!! I hope it wasn’t them honestly, but it’s just suspicious since they are the one place that has ALL of my information.
