What a waste of 84 dollars. I got there and the masseuse didn't even ask my name or offer hers, she didn't ask me if i had any medical problems or aches that she should be aware of, she did not ask me about the type of pressure i like all she did was get on top of my back and press down hard.
I was soooo disturbed that I want to call the manager and get my money back!
Read More On Citysearch Asilver 10/12/2009 - wow!!I go here all the time, and If you want a quick, in-and-out massage, that's fine, but i'd recommend giving yourself some extra time to enjoy the beautiful steam room and igloo sauna. there's no limit to how much time you can spend there, and i found that the massage is much better if you've relaxed for a while in the steam and heat. loosens the muscles and makes your mind more tranquil.

Read More On Citysearch runrun34 5/18/2009 - Regal TreatmentAt some spas you feel sort of like a commodity, like you're part of an indifferent relaxation machine. Know what i mean? Like the staff is just going through the motions. But at Athena i felt like a VIP from beginning to end (why did it have to end??) and I had such a relaxing, luxurious time.
The steam room is beautiful and the showers and everything else is immaculate. At first I wasn't...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/6/2009 - This place is a hidden gem - I feel like Jell-OMy office is in the area and one of my coworkers told me to check this place out - I went for a there for a massage during my lunch hour and am so relaxed right now theres no way Im going to do any work for the rest of the day! Instead Im just going to sit here and play on the internet! The people at Athena were friendly, price was reasonable and most importantly, the massage was wonderful.

Read More On Citysearch cmb9977 11/25/2008 - DON'T GO HERE -- unless you want to waste moneyQuite frankly, I am shocked at how many good reviews this spa has gotten on this site and was fooled by them when I made an appt here. I went in for a 60-minute Swedish massage with my roommate on a Sunday night around 6pm. The place was completely empty. They escorted us to a "dressing room" to change and I use quotations because it was just an open area where everybody walks by that happens to ...

Both the dry sauna and the steam sauna were heavenly. My massage was fabulous, I had a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders walking in for my appointment and felt 100 times better on my way out. I will go back to Athena for my next massage.

The staff were so sweet and friendly and attentive; I felt like royalty. I entered in a daze of tension and left feeling completely rejuvenated with table shower, body scrub and 1 hour shiatsu massage. The pristine surroundings are cozy and spacious, the igloo steam room refreshing and every square inch...

Was told to go "run an errand" and come back to pick up the gift card i was trying to buy. Receptionist was very rude (and not too bright). I walked away and never went back. Awful service.

We were escorted by a beautiful hostess the minute we arrived into a VIP Couple Room. We enjoyed wonderfully hot Dry sauna which calls Hwangto Igloo and steam first. Then we had a massage and a body treatment. They had hostesses serving us throughout the whole time. The whole staf...

Therapist there are warm, friendly. The prices are very reasonable, especially for massage and scrub and it's so much more relaxing than the other over-crowded Spa places in the area. I highly recommend checking this out. Such a great experience and relaxing...

Read More On Citysearch mialim 10/24/2007 - Horrible massage!!!OMG! I have had soo many massages in my life, but never one as bad as this. The masseuse did not seem to know what she was doing. I am not even sure she has a license because she was massaging me in areas that were causing me extreme pain and discomfort. I always get "Deep Tissue" massages but never one like this.She was super rough and fast to the point of discomfort. Her energy was super aggres...
Read More On Citysearch nylagirl7 10/3/2007 - Best Pedicure EVER!!Due to being a ballet dancer for a long time, I have always suffered from "ingrown" toe nails. My foot doctor from UES had recommended Grace at Athena for my particular problem. When Grace worked on my pedicure, it hurted a bit but afterwards, I DO NOT SUFFER from my ingrown toe nails. I can wear whatever shoes I want to w/out worrying about being in pain. Thank you GRACE so much for your help!...
Read More On Citysearch tina17 7/11/2007 - Just awfulI am in shock after reading the previous review. How anyone can say anything good about this horrible place is beyond me! I have been an avid spa goer for years and after getting a "gift" last month (the gift giver is now on my s--t list) I can honestly say that this was clearly the worst spa experience I have ever had. The place is crass,loud noise from the loud talking, non-english speaking sta...

The staff was friendly and attentive from the moment my boyfriend and I walked in the door (for our couples package). We had a similar service at Juvenex( considered their top competitor) and Athena spa blew them away. From the decor the the expert hands and friendly nature of the staff. The value and service is amazing despite the small price tag. Wheth...

When i walked into athena spa, everyone was very friendly and atmosphere was beautiful. SO much different then the other spas I've been to where they could care less if you enjoy yourself.

This place is expensive, especially for manicure and pedicure - BUT they don't do any better than regular nail salon. They have really poor service. The pedicure tub was full of dirt. It's really gross. The toilets dont f...
Read More On Citysearch eatdrinkny 7/19/2006 - BAD, BAD, BADI went to get a body scrub at Athena's wetspa and it was the oddest spa experience ever. The showers and wetspa area are all communal. No dividers or curtains or anything. An old Asian woman I got the scrub from did not speak a word of English and performed the entire act in her old worn underwear!! I had to take two showers when I got home just to feel clean again.

Nothing really worked and I thought about a Lipo......When I was walking by Athena spa, I saw a sign of cellulite machine and decided to try. Guess what? my upper back area and stomach area look ALOT slimmer so I won't be worrying about wearing a bikini this summer...

Read More On Citysearch wellbeing 5/5/2006 - Cleaned up!!I have so much trouble with my skin so I went to many different spas for facials and demotalogists. However, I haven't seen any result from there. One of my friends suggested Athena spa, and I tried their facial with new treatment machine. After 5 facial sessions, every friend of mine asks how my skin cleared up. Plus, when I bought 10 sessions at once, they gave me 20% off. I'm going to keep g...
Read More On Citysearch sunnyworld 5/5/2006 - Change is Needed hereChange is sorely needed here. The massage was ok (noisy area, but ok) The facial was a disaster. Is it too much to ask to have your blackheads removed? Is it too much to ask for a pleasant reply?

As I expained the points of greater interest, I heared a loud voice coming from the room next door, can you lower your voice! There was someone next door? and I was whispering! From that moment on...it was people talking load, drawers opening and closing...it was noisy and obtrusive rather then a heaven for relaxation! I got up off the bed 3 times and sh...
Read More On Citysearch lucyvasquez 5/2/2006 - Very disappointing experienceLet's start with the receptionist could not locate my appointment, to 30 mins wait before I get my first treatment. The facial was a joke and the person did it either unprofessional or be licensed, no exfoliation/UV light for antibacterial after the extraction/no toner/eye cream after the facial. Best of all, the facialist was also the one who did my manicure and pedicure. She saved some lotion f...
Read More On Citysearch leewong26 5/2/2006 - Spa WeekI had the Body Scrub for Spa Week. It is very intimidating because you're buck naked alongside other naked girls. But it was definitely worth the Spa Week prices for what you get. My skin felt baby soft afterwards. I would go back again for this treatment. I've never had this kind of experience before, but they definitely do a great job. The igloo is huge too! The people don't speak English that ...

I have the most smoothest skin I've had since I was young... The steam room and scrub room is not for the shy however. You have to be comfortable being completely nude in front of the other strangers near you. If you can get past that, and the kind lady scrubbing you down, it will most certainly be well worth...

Read More On Citysearch by SpaAfficionado! at spafinder. 4/22/2006 - Confusing!I needed a good body scrub before the summer, so I figure I'll spend $50 during spa week. The place is gorgeous none the less, but the lack of attention and full of confusion really turns me off. On top of that, the receptionist is the most miserable and impolite person I've ever met in a spa.
Read More On Citysearch Yinzai 4/21/2006 - Saves your money and TimeTake my word, skip this spa. There are much better places at similar or lower prices that actually produce results. My facial was a total waste of time and they hype out the Igloo that is nothing to write home about. Juvenex has a much better one and it is all jade. Plus the level of service is quite higher there. Well, I like to try all spas at least once in my hunt for best pampering spots. I w...
Read More On Citysearch sukijay 4/19/2006 - Great spa experienceAthena is a very cool spa with a unique Igloo. It is a sauna where you can sit in it. I have been to many spas in New York and I have never seen this igloo before. the spa was tranquil and my massage and facial were great. a great find!
Read More On Citysearch lauranallove 4/17/2006 - Nice facialI had Diamong Peeling facial with Grace at Athena Spa. I have had acnes for a long time and my skin is super oily. However now my skin looks great after Grace's awesome diamond peeling and microdermabration. Also during the facial she gave me an excellent foot massage which gave me an extra relaxation..... Highly recommend Grace for facial.

Throughout the entire massage, the staff laughed and talked (in a different language) the entire time. There was no peace, tranquility, or relaxation. When we shared our disappointment with the receptionist, she shrugged it off. My boyfriend and I even had burn marks from the stones. It was a waste o...
Read More On Citysearch spa_addict 1/18/2006 - What a Disater
I don't know if they were just having a bad day or what, but my spa day was a disaster! From the moment I arrived, they couldn't locate my appointment to the stinging mask that had to be wiped off my face and smothered with soothing gel to calm it down.
On my way out the same lady who messed up the facial was trying to 'recommend' and sell me products. Are you kidding me?
Never again.
