Ayuthaya Spa – By The Quay

The staffs seems bored with their job. The place it self is very small. Found roaches in the bathroom. Reception didnt even ask what I want to do for massage. Dont even listen I want meni pedi. Never ask to fill in the form for health condition.
Massage was ok. I dont find it worth it for almost 200bucks for the 1.5hour massage and feels like going to those 80bucks massage parlour. Just the location and setting.
No lounge no facilities.

This was my first visit to the Ayuthaya Spa at Gallery Hotel as the other outlet at Pan Pacific Orchard has closed.
The spa is located outside the hotel. There is a small elevator which can take you to the spa but I recommend to skip that take the stairs instead as the elevator is very stuffy and warm.
The spa is done up with the warm tones of wood and is like a Thai spa. At the Pan Pacific Orchard hotel outlet they only hired Thai therapists which I like as it really feel like you are in Thailand having a treatment since they also cannot communicate with you, making it less of a worry they will try to hassle you to take up a package or something. Unfortunately it was not the same in The Gallery Hotel outlet. The therapist I had is not Thai, so I guess they stopped the practice of only hiring Thais.
I had the body scrub and Thai oil massage. The therapist was very thorough in scrubbing the body and the body did feel very smooth after that. The massage was equally good, with firm strokes. As the therapist was not Thai, the method was more typical of Chinese style — focus on the neck, shoulders and upper back. Thai style usually start with the legs and focuses on that.
Overall it was a good treatment but as I was used to the way it was done previously, it did not really meet my expectations. They also did not ask me for the type of oil and body scrub to use which was the usual style. They used to have the bottles in the lounge area where they will let you get a whiff of the various oils before you make your selection.
This will be a good place for a good massage with no one to hassle you or do any hard selling on packages.
