Went here with my bf to get a massage. We were told to wait upstairs. The first thing I noticed was the gross carpet on the stairs. I sat down on one of the tattered chairs and realized that the fake bonsai on the table was absolutely filthy. This place is as far from clean, relaxing and fresh as you can get. I was ready to walk out, but my boyfriend convinced me to stay.

When I got into the... plus

My husband and I stopped in after days of walking/touring the city which left our bodies feeling very tight and soar. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by very friendly staff who took care of us right away, setting us up with 90 minute massages for later that afternoon. Neither massage disappointed! We both received excellent massages that worked out all of our kinks and relaxed our... plus

I just had a 90 minute massage with Francoise it was wonderful. I floated in and
out of consciousness as she massaged me I haven't quite returned to earth yet. I definitely will come back here the next time I come to Montreal I Highly recommend this boutique spa

I've been to a number of Spas in Montreal and they can't compare to Spa-St-James. I've been going to spa St-James for the past few years. It's great place and you feel right at home, nothing pretentious or trendy, a very classic and nice getaway in the city. The services and staff are incredible. I have had pedicures with Michelle and see Rada for massages. If you are looking for deep tissue... plus

This was only my second time at a spa, but I can tell you this - I enjoyed every second of it.

This really is an urban spa; it has a certain feel to it - brick walls with windows, but not enough light to completely overcome your senses. It walks a fine line between calm and boring.

The service is top-notch. When we arrived the person who greeted us was friendly and informative. When we left... plus

Went for a couples massage here on a Saturday and we really have no complaints about our experience! The spa is well located downtown, we were able to walk from our hotel in 10 minutes. You are well-greeted at the door by warm & friendly staff, and then sent to the 2nd floor for massage. My massage therapist, Thérèse, was lovely and attentive. My boyfriend was very pleased with his RMT, too.

This spa looks great from the outside. I treated my partner to a manicure and pedicure, along with a couple's massage here. Now, on arrival, one is greeted by a whole host of people, and they are all really friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is a cross between an eclectic day spa and a Buddhist monastery (hushed voices and all). Having said this, my partner told me that while the pedicure... plus

It all began with my search for the perfect deep tissue real therapeutic massage. after many attempts at several spas, I stopped searching after finding not just 1 but 2 incrediblely talented masseuses.

After the spa gained my trust i decided to try a facial to only discover, i had never really endured what a facial ought to feel like until I began having them at Spa Saint James regularly.
... plus

I am yet to try the massage at Spa st. James
But I have been there over five times for facial, eyebrow threadings and manicures/ pedicures

Upon arrival you will be ushered to go two stories up after taking off your shoes ( you have a chair to sit on which is a big plus for places in montreal) and given flimsy slippers that you will find hard to keep them on while going up the stairs ( better... plus

The salon was extremely facilitating as i had to reschedule a couple of times. Lovely relaxing atmosphere. I had a deep tissue massage (unfortunately didn't get his name) and it was one of the best massages Ive had. He concentrated on my problem areas and was v knowledgable and insightful. Will def go back

I purchased a couple's massage deal for Spa St James on living social on a whim and was looking forward to a relaxing afternoon massage with my bf.

The Spa is very well located, the receptionists downstairs were lovely and the waiting area upstairs had a pot of tea ready...it looked promising.

The couples massage room was small and the carpet had seen better days - there was no separate area... plus

Spa St-James is by far my favourite spa in Montreal. I've been here several times, and am never disappointed. The staff is lovely and are always very kind and accommodating.

This last time I went, I arrived just on time, and was warmly welcomed by having my coat taken and offered tea while I waited. It took a little longer than usual because I room was being setup, but no inconvenience really.... plus

I went 3 times to the spa St-James for a massage (got a coupon) : The massages done by Val (it's a man) was very good and the one done by Francoise was just ok.

Clean, very nice place. Were accommodating as needed, had an excellent swedish massage. Located right near Downtown.

I travel a lot for work and have just found Spa St James (I'm from Australia). Let me say that I wish I could recommend the massage from Phillipe more than 5 stars. I walked in all twisted and sore and walked out like a new person! Carol at the front desk made me feel so welcomed as well. I would truly recommend Spa St James to everyone and anyone. I will definitely be making a booking when I... plus

It was an amazing experience. Seriously I recommend this place, the staff was really nice and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Ils sont très attentifs à nous besoins surtout durant les soins. I would definitely go again but kinda expensive.

The atmosphere is moderately pleasant. Too crowded sometimes. In general, the staff is nice, but I did not appreciate at all my last time with their facial specialist, Carole. I've never experienced such an arrogant attitude and abruptness anywhere else. For the money they charge you, you would expect to be able to completely relax in a little world of complete niceness and friendliness. Not... plus

A great soothing massage.  I had the masseuse focus on my neck and shoulders.  Best two hour massage I have had in a long time.

It is a lovely spa with attractive decor, and they offer a great range of services. I loved the spa manicure I got, but I was disappointed with the facial. While the aesthetician was gentle and did a fairly thorough job with the extractions, there was no steaming beforehand. Also, she left the room for 15 minutes while the facial mask was on. In my previous experiences at other spas, when a... plus

Top marks to the owner,Carol, she is very warm and welcoming. Over the past few years i've been quite a few times and I've enjoyed it each time, the facilities are so clean and so calming. Carol is very affable, flexible and easy to talk to. I was recommended to try the Ultrasound Microdermabrasion by Carol and it was lovely.

The massages and facials are first class and the best I've experienced todate. The owner Carol and her son are lovely people and makes everyone feel important. Highly recommend Spa St James. Ermie

The facilities were very welcoming and cozy. Staff were very polite and professional. We received a quick and efficient service. One less enjoyable aspect was the sales pressure to buy other services.

A 70$ pedicure that was supposed to last 75 minutes only took 55 minutes. Nothing special, I've had better for half the price. Would not return.

The massage was outstanding!! Truly the best! The facial was also great, however -- the upselling of product started with raving about quality before the facial even started, I found this off-putting in an otherwise perfect day!

Manicure was of good quality but felt like I was at a regular manicure salon. Spray tan was great and looked great; friendly lady who applied it. Microdermabraison and waxing were perfect as well.. only issue I found annoying with this spa is the sales pressure as others have commented. They nearly forced me to purchase Darphin ($$$) products which I've never used and I felt a bit fooled... plus

I have been a customer with Spa St. James for almost a year now and the service is amazing. I have had facials, mani's, padi's, massages, you name it, and the staff couldn't be any friendlier.

It is an easy way to take appointments and know right away if there is availability.

I agree with the last review, Carol is super sweet, and she has always been there to greet me. I have been there a few times, and I always feel quite pampered.The interior is very welcoming and private. Their estheticians are very knowledgeable and the product lines they use are top notch. Anyone looking for a local day spa should definitely come and check this place out. Not only do they do... plus

Carol the owner will bend over backwards for you as a client, new or old. The owner makes the place amazing her really kind heart and wonderful aura, she ALWAYS finds a way to give you a great experience, she cares about her clients lipke old friends!! She will give u what you what when you want, she will accommodate the clients at any cost.  In 5 years going here I have nothing but praise!!!!... plus

It's nice to come across quaint spas and this is truly one of them. Located right on
the corner of one of Montreal's entertainment hub's on rue Crescent, this spa is a nice downtown stopover. If you can book several treatments back to back, you'll truly enjoy the real beauty and essence of relaxation.

This spa has really friendly and warm therapists and they do excellent pedicures and facials!... plus

I had a good experience but not wow, I would say just ok. There's other places much better... plus

Fa.bu.lous!

I have had some bad spa treatments in my life, and there is nothing worse!At Spa St-James, you get consistent, amazing treatments! They are so nice, the spa itself is gorgeous and so conveniently located next to post-massage shopping!I would recommend this to anyone who is craving a little luxurious escape close to home.Fantastic!!!

Spa St James offers a full range of massage treatments and skin care, The staff is well qualified & offers excellent service to all clientele. Very relaxing music & atmosphere .
