Casa Spa London Reviews


Most stressful and unfriendly spa - Myself and 2 friends bought vouchers to have Hammam treatments here for £20 each. We arrived at the pre-booked time to this dingy fronted spa.

The grubby and run-down assistant manning the spa by herself was horrified that one of us only brought along the code from her voucher, rather than a print out.

She said her boss, Helen, would not accept it. We thought she was just being over-zealous. But when my friend called this Helen to explain, the woman went balistic and started shouting at my friend! Terrible customer service over something so slight.

We went to a nearby print shop to print the voucher, and were prepared to over-look this poor start.

But the rest of the treatment was a farce. Sitting overly-long in a small steam room while the sole assistant went to deal with other customers. Being flicked with cold water when the assistant could spare the time. Then a desultory body scrub from the same assistant, who did not change the scrub mitt between customers.

We then queued to use the single shower, and were asked to sit and 'relax' in towels in a cushioned area. However, the assisant asked us to listen out for the front doorbell upstairs and answer the door if it rang.

We said we would come find her if anyone came to the door, as we didn't want to go upstairs opening the door to the street, in nothing but wet towels!

We left the spa after a final enlightening conversation where the assistant bemoaned her working conditions and said how much she wanted to quit the place.

Btw - I am suspecting that the 'Helen' who wrote the first glowing review for this spa, could be the same Helen who yelled at my friend. In which case, it's a bit underhand to review your own business in such a blatantly prejudiced way.

Weirdest spa I have been to - This is the strangest place I have ever been to. The manager is crazy and is not clear about the offers and treatments and tries to get you to buy more than you've booked. I found it very stressful here, though funny. Not the place to go if you want tranquillity and the spa is mixed sex and tiny so no privacy even when getting changed. All the therapists do amazing treatments.

This is hell - don't go there! - I recently went to this spa after seeing good reviews on this website. I was due to experience a hammam and a mud bath and was much looking forward to it! Where to start? Well, this is certainly not a spa, it's a con trick all the way. I didn't experience at all what I was supposed to. I don't see a single benefit in my experience. The staff was really bad. During it it was very awkward and I really wanted to leave. I have been to many spas in London and I wouldn't even say it's the worse one in the city, it truly does NOT qualify as a spa. I won't describe all my experience but I wanted to give you sone advice: don't even consider going there and don't take notice at the good reviews: obviously these have been written by the staff themselves.

ABSOLUTE TRANQUILITY - This place is such a tranquil peacehaven hidden in Edgware Road. The stairs are lit up with candles and so is the downstairs where the hamman begins. I was there with friends and we stripped and went into the steam room. After 20 mins we were drench in cold water which caused us all to scream but that is needed to open the pores in the skin. After that we were rubbed down with black soap and this was rubbed into our skins quite deeply. We were left with the black soap on for about 20 mins and then we were rinsed off with warm water.

Daisy our beautician, then used a loofah to scrub off the dead skin and scales. this was done to the front and back of the body. we were then rinsed again and fed melon, bananas, oranges and water. After 30mins we were then covered in mud and left for 15mins and then rinsed off.

This was such an exhilarating experience and one that i will definitely repeat. My friends and i just put on towels and lounged about on the huge bed that was there. We were given wine and herbal tea. We all left feeling wonderful and i know that my body truly appreciated that experience. This is going to be our chill-out zone that we will go to every other month.

Try it out ...you wont regret it. Lovely atmosphere and ambience....wonderful friendly and hospitable host..helen and daisy....fabulous!!!!

Ultimate Moroccan Hamman in London - Casa Spa, Paddington, London
A homely spa beneath the Edgware Road offers a hammam and massage experience for a steal

Alice Fishburn
USP Visits are really about stewing in the tiled steam bath, reputedly the only one in London. Helen Murphy, the spa owner, trained in hammam techniques in her native Tunisia. Try them out – though traditionalists can opt for a range of more customary spa treatments including a Bio Oxygen facial.

AMBIENCE Think local rather than luxury. The spa is situated on the Edgware Road and its surroundings and entrance are somewhat shabby. But the gritty exterior fades as you walk down candle-lined stairs to a spacious room at the bottom. This will become your own little grotto for the duration of the treatment.

Inside, there is a raised sofa bed with scattered cushions – perfect for lolling on Roman fashion between treatments and large enough to accommodate a gossiping group if you are on a hen night. Kitsch statues will provide many a talking point while the mosaic walls and candles strike a more traditional note.

Off to one side is the entrance to the hammam. The tiled room can fit seven people although you’d be hard pushed to see any of them once you enter. Clouds of steam completely obscured my therapist when she walked in, adding to the mystery.

Although you are mere metres from the Edgware Road, the spa manages to create an atmosphere that is more Arabian nights than London traffic. Casa Spa is not the place to go if you are after opulence, glamour or a hint of Hollywood excess. But its relaxed approach is perfect for stressed-out city workers in search of something a little unusual.

QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE Given that my only prior streaming experience involved dumplings, I was determined to make the hammam my first stop. My fear of humidity melted away as I realised that I could relax and, more importantly, breathe. Not even the clunking sound of the steam-making machinery disturbed me.

The full hammam experience includes a series of wraps applied while you stew. First came the honey hair mask. It contains only natural products and smells good enough to eat. Resist the temptation. But what it lacks in taste, it more than makes up for in effect. My hair looked unusually shiny afterwards.

Next up was the olive oil soap (don’t try eating that one either). After a good slathering in the stuff, I slid around my stone slab waiting for my pores to open.

Then the scrubbing began. This is not the sort of exfoliation offered by spas that tip toe around their customers. Prepare yourself for an all-over rubdown with a Moroccan cloth that could easily double as a brillo pad. My therapist’s warning that I could tell it was working when my dead skin peeled off like spaghetti was hardly reassuring. But she was right. I soon got over the shock and my skin felt soft for days afterwards. Tan junkies are recommended to try this out to moisturise the skin before a holiday.

I followed the hammam with a massage, which chased away the last traces of my hectic day. But a range of facials are also on offer if you want to slough the dead skin from your face as well as your body. And I’d recommend a stint in the infrared sauna for anyone suffering from tension or muscle injuries.

Throughout my time, the staff were very relaxed and perfectly content for me to wander from treatment to treatment with the odd rest on the sofa. You may never want to leave.

IN-CROWD No glamorous mums or men in white coats here. Instead you’ll find locals, Londoners in the know and those hankering after a flavour of the bazaar.

FOOD If all that olive oil and honey leaves you hungry for some more substantial fare, you can always opt for the Lebanese Mezze. This is offered up for hen and stag nights and ordered from a local restaurant. More abstemious spa-goers can choose some fruit and a selection of drinks. The obvious choice? Moroccan tea.

WALLET-WATCH The back to basics approach at Casa Spa is reflected in its reasonable prices. For a spa in Central London, it’s a steal. An hour in the Turkish bath will set you back just £45. If you want to add in a massage as well, you’re looking at £60. Hen and stag nights are available for £55 per person. You can choose from a mezze of treatments and kick back on the sofas without feeling rushed.

NEED TO KNOW 439 Edgware Road, London, W2 1TH (0207 724 2030; www.casaspa.co.uk). There is also a branch at 147 Seymour Place, London, W1H 4PB.

Have your say

I have visited the Spa on many occasions and find Helen a wonderful and caring person. i would thoroughly recommend anyone who wants to have proper treatment and a very relaxing atmosphere to visit as soon as possible.The hammam is an expereience not to be missed at a fraction of the price!
