Spa Castle New York

Starting with the positive this is a beautiful Spa. There are numerous hydro jet pools and Saunas . The negative is that it is expensive and I understand it often gets crowded on the weekend but Spa Castle is a unique experience. It's well worth the cost. I Have been planning to go for years and am glad I finally got there. I am looking forward to going back.

Spa Castle exceeded our expectations! 😊 Kid-friendly vibe, delicious food, and spotless amenities. But what really made our visit special was the very good service. The staff member in the women's area on Feb 28, 3-7pm, was so kind, helpful, respectful, and super accommodating with me and my 2 kids. We appreciated the attention to cleanliness, especially with little ones in tow. As someone who values hospitality and good food, I'd highly recommend Spa Castle for families, dates, or solo rest and relaxations.

We came here for a friend’s birthday! I really enjoyed myself! I heard these “spa’s were dirty & over crowded”. I felt it was clean & we even saw them checking the water while we were in one of the outdoor jacuzzis. I do wonder how it would be when the weather gets warmer. I could see how it could easily get over crowded. There were a few food options which was nice, they had a little of everything. I don’t think the prices were bad either. The bar was probably the most expensive but that’s expected in this environment. Minus, one of the ladies at the food shacks the staff was friendly. I would return!

Disappointing experience. We would’ve rather spent just a bit more at Bath House or Aire instead. They have amazing facilities like many dry and sauna rooms, hot/super hot pools, several cold plunges, and little details that I appreciate; such as salt scrub station, unlimited towel use, a spinner machine to dry your swimwear, private changing rooms and showers, bath products for females, and etc. Spa Castle is a joke. Perfect for kids but not for adults. Should’ve known it was gonna feel like a playground as the word “castle” is in the name. They don’t have many option, only a few dry rooms which is disappointing. Some of the facilities are separated so if you go with your partner, ya’ll are gonna be separated. The cold plunge & steam room is nudity mandatory which I don’t really feel comfortable with. I did go in eventually to make my money worth. But showering with NO privacy really did it for me. Whoever designed this place needs to go back to school. It’s a disgrace to have no privacy when showering. Can I scrub my private area in peace without everyone watching?. Additionally, there are little boys with their mother in the nudity area. I understand they are young boys, but it’s just not an every-day-thing to have little boys in a nudity area. (Imagine a dad bringing his young girl to a male nudity section). Bottom line, this place is good for kids. If you wanna enjoy peace and truly relax to destress, go somewhere else. Edit: Additionally, all that huge space for “lounge” area could be used to add more dry and wet rooms. People paid good money to use the facilities for good health benefits. If people wanted to sit and chill, they could easily hit up a local cafe or library. With the high admission prices, ya’ll really need to cut down the large number of chairs ??!? and install more dry & wet rooms. otherwise it is overcrowded as there are not many options available for people. Btw all the pools are like 1 feet deep… can barely even dip my body in. It’s good for kids though. Other bath house pools are at least 3-4 feet deep so you can actually dip your body in. Mind you the water temperature says 94-104 but it is not hot at all. When water is that temperature, it’s supposed to make you sweat (sweating out the toxins in your body). Management needs to double check the water temperature and install better water filtration. The pools look mucky. After discussing with my bf, he reminded me about the chicken bone he found in the hot pool outside (2nd floor). He went in the pool and sat on the chicken bone and was surprised to find one. Honestly, if the price was more fitting for this place, I’m sure there would be 4.5 stars+ instead of 4 stars. It’s just not worth this price when other bath houses do it top notch for nearly the same price. In 2026, just something about knowing big businesses have increased the price over the years (and social media blowing it up) while the quality of service and amenities are lacking really ticks me off. My bad for a brutal and honest review. Either I praise the hell out of a business for its amazing services or the opposite. This is a non influencer review for you. (hit up the spa I’ve mentioned above and you’ll see a huge difference, *wink wink) Anyways… ya’ll have fun and good night.

Nestled in the heart of Queens, New York, lies Spa Castle. Spa Castle is an all-season spa facility, meaning they are open seven days a week, including holidays. While I had not gone previously, I do know they underwent a massive renovation in 2024. While the price has increased and is on the pricey side, I will say, it is worth the cost. Like all Korean spas, upon entering, you lock your shoes and clothes in your designated locker. The locker is more advanced than other places I had been too as you need to tap your wristband once to unlock and AGAIN to re-lock. The clothing locker has a nice viewing screen to indicate whether it is locked or not, although the shoe locker does not have this feature. Like all traditional Korean bathhouses, the lockers are gender-separated and you have to be nude. On the men's side, there is a cold plunge, heated pools, wet sauna, dry sauna, and several acupressure hydrotherapy aqua-jet pools. The heated pools were lukewarm in my opinion. I am aware that having it too hot is probably a lawsuit or health concern, but I do wish they made it a touch hotter. The acupressure hydrotherapy aqua-jet pools were my favorite! With a push of a button, several high-powered aqua-jets will hit certain acupuncture areas. The second floor consists of saunas: Himalayan Salt Sauna, Color Therapy, Gold Sauna, Jade Sauna, Halotherapy, Far Infrared Sauna, Ice Land, and Infrared Zone. There is a map to help guide you to each one. The Ice Land was just cold enough to cool your body down and I do enjoy the heat from the Himalayan Salt Sauna. There are also outdoor and indoor pools on the third floor if you wish for more acupressure jets or to converse with other friends/patrons. There are also lounges throughout the entire facility for you to relax and enjoy. Is the price expensive? Yes, I would say it is. But is the price worth it? Yes, definitely so. With all the various saunas and pools and relaxation, it is worth it. Furthermore, there is no time limit, so you can relax for the entire day. If you can, go on the weekdays where the prices are lower and are less crowded (well, at least for the mornings to afternoon).
