I've been to Hammam several times. It seems like it's becoming a trend in North America to feed wrong information to people wrong information as long as it's mainstream. This is exactly like saying "Chai Tea" at Starbucks like the review says. Hammam is not a Turkish bath, although apparently that's what this concept is known around here. It's an Iranian (Persian concept). That's how people used to take a bath in Iran. And the Spa itself is partly owned and designed by a Persian. Beautiful Persian poetry and writing and sometimes music, just make it heavenly.

As for the Spa:

The ambiance is great, amazing, I was speechless. The showers and facilities are great. The actual services, although decent, not to brag about. I have been there several times, massages are OK, mani, pedi and waxing are huge disappointments. It is pricey, but if you're just going to pamper yourself it is well worth it. The actual steam room is amazing, and the fact that it's coed is great. Be careful though on several occasion I have met fully naked couples there. not that you can see much if the steam is on :)

I remember going to a Hammam in Paris. It was lovely. And cheap. I immediately searched for Toronto Hammams. With no luck. I haven't been to the spa carrying the Hammam name, but I get the impression this is a bit more swank, and a lot less cheap. I'd love for there to be a Hammam or 8 in Toronto.

I love the decor at Hammam, and actually I think the waxing is great, I've tried a lot of places in TO and I keep coming back to Shelly at Hammam. I love the vibe and feel of this place.

I have used the services at the Hammam Spa several times, and generally been very disappointed by the quality of spa and services for the price. Hammam Spa unsuccessfully attempts to be a 'high end' spa. The general feel is very uncomfortable, especially in the manicure and pedicure section of the spa. It is located right on King Street, so there is always a feel/feeling of outside traffic. Which is awkward, when you're trying to 'escape' this by visiting the spa. You'll find better value in spas such as the Holt Renfrew Spa, and the beautiful Still Water retreat.

Do not go to this spa..I experienced the worst service ever. The receptionists are rude. It is not worth the price you pay for and ambiance is nothing special. I was late for a massage one time and called in advance to tell them- they said it was okay. To my surprise, when I got there, the RMT told me she had a client right after me and will only be able to complete 30 mins of the massage. I was okay with that but she lied and did not have a client waiting for her. I saw her leaving the spa - she went home!! To top it all off- they charged me for the full hour when I told them the situation, they would not budge, I even spoke to the manager she was no help! This place is a rip off- don't go!

I would not reccommend this spa to anyone. The service was horrible from the receptionist to therapist. The massage therapist massaged me with her elbows and the I have never had such a stress full facial ( she was abrasive and in a rush). I spoke to the manager and she herself was difficult Speak to- and the ambience was not that imppressive.
