The Banya

This place looks great from the outside. You have to book online and register in order to enter (expect 3 emails before you leave). $60 for 90 minutes seems excessively expensive to me. Especially since only about a third of the lockers worked, and the walls of the showers were slimy and one of the two showers didn't have hot water. We didn't bother trying the food.

I read a number of reviews after attending the Banya and quite a few were negative but from the experience we had The Banya was a lovely, relaxing outing. The reception staff were friendly, the pools, sauna and steam room were great. I personally loved the steam room as it had great heat and the shower buckets were a great way to freshen up before moving onto the next pool or sauna.

I’ve been going to Banya for a while and always enjoy my visits. Caroline at the front desk is especially lovely, she’s always smiling, positive, and very welcoming, and does a great job. The overall atmosphere is beautiful, the design is amazing and the food is really good too. The only small thing is the changeroom floors can be a bit cleaner on busy weekends. Overall, such a great place to relax and unwind. Definitely recommend 🧖‍♀️✨

I had the most incredible experience at The Banya. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was beautifully calming and felt almost other-worldly, like stepping into a sanctuary away from everyday life. My massage therapist, Emma, was absolutely outstanding. She was so nurturing and intuitive, creating a space that felt safe, deeply relaxing, and restorative. Every part of the massage was thoughtful and attuned to what my body needed, and she had a natural way of making the whole experience feel both grounding and uplifting at the same time. The overall vibe of The Banya is amazing, the pools were beautiful but Emma truly made my visit exceptional. I left feeling renewed, cared for, and completely at ease. I highly recommend booking with her if you’re visiting, she is truly gifted.

We visited the gorgeous Banya and enjoyed the overall experience. The massage therapists were great at ensuring you were comfortable and draped properly, which is a huge plus for us. The massage therapist knew what they were doing, which made for an amazing experience. The restaurant, sauna, steam room and pool facilities were clean and well-maintained. The staff were a bit aloof, and the introduction seemed rushed and overwhelming. at first. The meals tasted great and were well presented. However, we found two hairs in the food. We agree with everyone else about the bathrooms: Small, full of mould and tiny bugs flying at you and on the wall when showering. We would return but love to see a cleaner bathroom and friendlier staff.
