What this place lacks in ambiance it makes up for with their excellent massage. For the price I wasn't expecting all that much but I was most pleasantly surprised. My therapist was attentive and communicative, strong yet nuanced and skilled with her touch. I felt like I was walking on air for hours after my treatment. The only downside was the receptionist, she made me feel like I was interrupting some important business of hers when I arrived. Also while I was getting my massage there seemed to be a heavyset reindeer tramping up and down the hallway that I later realized was the very same receptionist. The reindeer effect was caused by her loud, jangling, highly inappropriate, bangle bracelets and her heavy stride. Otherwise I highly recommend this spa.

Pros: Reasonable prices. Great Massage.

Cons: Attitudinal receptionist

Wow -- great massage, made me forget where I was and totally zone out during. Totally loosened up my back and my shoulders after a stressful day. Had the chance to try it out during spa week, and it's not the most glamourous place, but it's nice, comfortable, and very reasonable on their everyday prices ($80 for 1 hour). Cindy was my therapist, would recommend her highly. I've paid much more for less impressive massages at high end resorts and spas.

Ever since my ex introduced me to body massage two years ago, I have been getting a massage every other week at various upscale spas around town. I have never paid less than 100 bucks each time and most of them left me unsatisfied for some reason. When my girl friend told me about her new discovery at Chelsea, I was a bit sketical... At $80 for an hour of full body massage??? How good can that be? This Sunday, I was utterly surprised. What an amazing massage I had at Graceful. The staffs were very friendly, and the massage was deep and soothing. I felt so good after the massage I couldn't stop smiling. I promised the young lady at the front desk that I would write a review on Citysearch and here I am. I only wished they have a sauna/steam room like the other spas... But then again, $80 for a great massage, I think I can live without the extras...

Pros: Amazing massage, Friendly Staff, Great price

Cons: No sauna/steam room,

Personally I like message very much, I been spa hopping for many years now, from upper west side to lower east side, quite frankly, I almost have discover them all. But actually none of these spas is really worth spending money for, until I find graceful spa, I had a two hour message, therapist is really well train, every step is on target right on the pressure point, also the therapist knows really what you need, from the beginning to the end, place is very clean, especially the room is really nice and comfortable. I think I almost have fell to sleep during the whole time. Price is decent. Receptionist was really friendly. It was an unforgettable experience during the whole process. Definitely worth to go back again!

I treated my sister and myself to their massage/facial combo, which was a great value. The massage was fantastic. The facial wasn't the best I'd had, but pretty good. There isn't much ambiance, which I didn't mind for the prices I was paying, but they could've done a better job keeping the hallways quieter so guests could enjoy their treatments in peace. If you're looking for atmostphere this place is not for you. But if you just want a great massage and a clean, nice environment, this place is for you. I've been to a lot of spas, and this is one of the best values I've seen in the city.

Pros: Massages, friendly service

Cons: Noisy environment can be distracting

on Christmas Eve, i had a facial attack by this lady and she basically ruined my day. they shouldn't offer facial treatments at all. i do not know what kind of products they use, but it's better off doing it with my own feet and vaseline. body massage was ok. if you want to waste your money and skin, this is the place.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: you name it

I have been to several spas - especially expensive, chic chic ones! I however loved my massage at Graceful Services. It was great! It's a good spot for a no frills, quick afterwork massage - in and out. I was there during spa week and I did feel jipped by a couple minutes.. but I tend to think it's because it's so crazy during spa week. I'd rather have a great massage for 45 mins instead of a sub par massage for 50! So it was worth it. I will definitely go back... I had a friend with me as well who enjoyed her massage immensely!

Pros: Massage, Service, timeliness, clean

Cons: None! Just a no frills type of massage spot!

I went for the 50.00 spa week special which was supposed to be a 50 minute massage. First of all I got there early and filled out some papers and then about 10 minutes later they called me in for my massage. The woman set a timer but I was not on that table for 50 minutes. She didn't even massage my entire body (front and back). Then when I questioned the person up front she was trying to tell me that I did get a massage for 50 minutes and that I checked in at 5:02 and they started at 5:05. What a freaking lie. I felt cheated. I get massages on a regular basis and you know what I am going to stick with a person that will not cheat me out of my money. Be very careful and time your session. And my boyfriend went also and they cheated him out of his time also.

No candles or incense...just a clean, well spaced, pleasant place with great prices, nice staff, and terrific massages. I went in really aching and, after two hours, came out feeling great! If you can get there during off-hours week days, book a package, relax, and have the place practically to yourself. No, it ain't Bliss, but you'll feel blissful.
