I have a group of 6 going, but one person doesn't want to do a massage while the rest of us do, will this affect with the reservation?
A:
Hello! Good question. It's totally fine for one person in a group to not participate in getting a massage. For any other specific questions about your group visit, you can contact our Group Coordinator by emailing frontdesk@ashaurbanbaths.com :)

I've had the absolute pleasure of visiting Asha 3 times now! I am thinking back to why I didn't leave a review for visit 1 or 2. And tbh I think I was so relaxed and care free I forgot to do it! But now that I'm coming back to my senses I can rave about this Sacramento gem.
Walking in you're greeting by a friendly staff that always offers to walk you through offerings and services as well as a quick tour of the changing area. You change (leaving any electronics in your locker) and head to help yourself to 2 hours of soaking, steaming and plunging. I love their open concept of pick your own. I like to go right into the sauna, take a rinse and then head in to the back soaking pool. And of course gotta cold plunge at least once. I love to bring a book and hang out in the outdoor patio which is cleverly disguised from seeing anything outside that may be a distraction.
I visited with girlfriends the first few times and it was a great way to connect. And this last time I brought my husband and it was such a nice day date that we want to repeat monthly!
I opted in for the DIY face masks on my last visit and loved the extra pampering. The great thing about it is you get to take the whole thing home and I've been spritzing myself with the citrus toner for days.
Go to Asha solo or with a friend it's enjoyable either way. But remember to keep quiet and focus on relaxing and resetting.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Loved this. Went for a date and it was actually pretty nice to see how willing someone was to try something new.
Really relaxing and quiet. Be aware that they have quiet hours and they will ring a bell if you're being too loud.
I forgot a towel and was easily able to rent one.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I find it disappointing that the response from the manager to my review did not address:
-ADA safety
-Pools of standing water throughout facility (unsanitary & a slip hazard)
-Staff looking into my bag
Of course I do not have photos as no electronic devices are permitted once inside. I do not understand why drains are not installed after reading multiple comments complaining about the puddles everywhere.Helpful 3Thanks 2Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

Lisa, aw, I'm sorry you felt like you had to watch over your shoulder :( I totally get why that took away from your experience. We try to be as clear as possible about the digital device policy...I know it isn't right for everyone, but a device free space is what we promise our guests so we really do take it to heart! I hope you'll try again if you're up for it!!
Aug 15, 2024Previous reviewWas looking forward to spending time here with my daughter for her bday.
The staff up front are very sweet & accommodating. As I arrived before my daughter, I changed, donned the slippers & the towel ($3 charge) and headed towards the first pool to sit in- I had my phone (on silent) with me to take photos for my Yelp review however was stopped by a condescending staff member telling me to put my phone away...which I put in my bag in a cubby. Minutes after I was relaxing in the pool when the same woman approached me and asked "is that your orange bag over there?" I replied yes & she "said you must move it now into the lockers". What a buzzkill to my beginning of some relaxation. And I'm not comfortable with people looking in my bag. I wasn't looking forward to walking back to the locker room because there were puddles of water on the floors (this seems to be a regular comment with no changes made) and I had to go up and down steps and being 70 years old with multiple joint replacements I was very apprehensive when walking through the venue. I would not recommend this place to anyone who has some sort of physical disability as it's definitely not conducive to those persons.
My daughter arrived and we sat for a bit in another pool and enjoyed that. . The water appeared clean and the temps were good. However, I kept looking over my shoulder for that staff person to come by and tell me about something else I was doing wrong.
It was my first visit here and I was really hoping for a better experience. Again, I will say the front staff people were kind.
I'm on the fence whether I plan to return. - Jul 15, 2024Updated review2 check-ins
As my wife and I advance in our respective careers and grapple with life-work (this is the order that it should be sequenced in) balance , we are intentional about scheduling time for some form of self-care. Therefore, I was ecstatic when my wife informed me that she had booked a morning appointment for 45 minutes of salt therapy and 45 minutes of Sound Immersion (the "Deep Rest" package). With a backpack containing a paperback book (e-readers are not allowed), towel, and a change of clothes - I was ready for some R&R! Upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly employee who check us in and provided us with lockers (don't forget to exchange your locker key for your ID at the end of your experience).
At the salt therapy room, we were warmly greeted by an employee who instructed everyone in the room to utilize the provided ear plugs and eye mask. For 45 minutes, we relaxed on the super comfortable Fatboy (I'm surprised the company is able to get away with that name in 2024) beanbags and inhaled the calming dry salt into our airways and lungs. Like clockwork, we were awakened by a gentle bong signaling that the session was over. Following the salt therapy, the same employee escorted us into a treatment space with two well-padded relaxation tables. Using the noise cancelling headphones provided, we were immersed in a combination of tranquil sounds and vibrations (we need a set up like this in our home).
The conclusion of the sound immersion session ended our guided activities for the day; however, the R&R experience was not over yet! We still had two hours to experience the bathhouse's common areas. Joining for this portion of the experience, one of our favorite couples accompanied us to the sauna (they have two), steam room, soaking pools, and the infamous cold plunge (this is not for the faint of heart). One of the most difficult things was keeping our voices down to a whisper in these areas and I will admit that there were a few times where our group (in collaboration with other groups), were recipients of the gong indicating that you need to shut the ___ up!
This was our second visit to Asha and similar to the first time, we left with that euphoric feeling of being drunk on relaxation. During a time where anxiety is at an all-time high and folks are looking for healthy methods to cope with stress, I HIGHLY recommend visiting Asha for a dose of serenity!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Raheem, we're so glad you had an awesome day at Asha!!
Dec 6, 2019Previous reviewWith the stress associated with work, co-parenting, and allotting time to spend with family and friends; my wife and I often feel like we have very little time to disconnect and relax. Even when we enjoy off-days at home, we often find ourselves working in some fashion. Therefore, we were excited when a friend of ours shared her positive, serene bathhouse experience. After agreeing upon an appointment time and service, we prepared ourselves for our first bathhouse experience.
We chose the Salt Lounge Therapy package that included 45 minutes of salt therapy & unlimited use of the sauna, steam room, cold plunge (a cold jet-free jacuzzi), and the hot jet-free jacuzzi. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by an employee at the front desk that provided us with an overview of the services that we would receive and how to fully utilize all areas of the facility. Afterwards, she took our ID's and provided us with locker keys. After locking up our personal items, we were instructed to walk towards the Salt Therapy room.
Near the Salt Therapy room we were greeted by another employee who lead us to the fairly cool (62 degrees) room. Aside from being very tranquil, the room literally lived up to its name by having a faint smell of salt. We shared the room with four other guests (talking is not allowed in this room) and we lounged on huge beanbags while reading our favorite book(s). 40 minutes later the same employee entered the room ringing a bell indicating that we had five minutes left. Five minutes later he escorted us to the lounge area where we were free to take utilize the other services included in our package.
After changing into our bathing suits, our first stop was the sauna. After sitting in the sauna for roughly 8 minutes, we rinsed ourselves off in the open shower area (required before you enter the jacuzzi's), and made our way to the main jacuzzi. Although there were 7 other people in the jacuzzi, it was extremely relaxing (you're only allowed to have whisper-level conversation) and was a perfect contrast for a generally cold Fall morning. After reading and soaking in the jacuzzi, we made our way to the steam room. In route to the steam room, my curiously called for me to dip my foot into the "cold plunge." The "cold plunge" definitely lives up to it's name, and for that reason we dared not to take the plunge. Following the steam room and a return visit to the main jacuzzi, my wife and I decided that we had gotten our money's worth and were ready to go.
10 years ago if someone told me about an establishment that I could pay my hard earned money to relax, I would laugh in there face! However, in our society where anxiety is at an all-time high and folks are glued to their mobile devices, I totally understand the need for a "retreat" to a bathhouse. After experiencing the relaxation and the ability to sit still and not be concerned if we were missing alerts on our phone's, we have already come to the conclusion that we will make periodic visits to Asha Urban Baths (next time we plan on bringing some friends to share the experience with)! - May 6, 2024
What a relaxing experience!
This urban bath house is a rejuvenating hidden gem. I've driven by it many a time, not realizing what was hiding inside. There are several saunas, steam rooms, cold plunges, and wam relaxation pools, as well as shower facilities and an outdoor sunning patio, which are all included in the entry fee. Massages and the salt room can also be booked in advance. Overall: this was incredibly relaxing, my body felt great, And I can't wait to come back!
A few tips and rules:
-bring several towels (one is needed to sit on in the sauna/steam room)
-bring flip flops
-you must unplug (all electronics must be left in your locker)
-stay hydrated (there are several water stations throughout the baths)
-soft voices. This is a quiet and relaxing placeHelpful 2Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 1Business owner information

My girlfriend and I came here for a late Mother's Day retreat! Check in was fairly easy because we made an appointment and we got our lockers once we gave them our IDs to keep.
The shower and fitting rooms are coed, so keep this in mind. You can shower but obviously bathing suits stay on, changing room was roomy inside but the whole area is tight with lockers and lots of foot traffic.
They have signs everywhere that encourage you shower first, sauna or steam, they have an ice plunge, and to large warm soaking baths for you to enjoy. They discourage any type of electronics, and speaking is down to a whisper. Although I didn't hear it while I was there, they do bang a gong to remind you to keep quiet if it gets too loud.
There's a nice lounging area outside where you can talk a little louder, plenty of lounge chairs for you to soak up the sun.
We started our morning with a massage, and the massage was great but pretty basic. No nice aromatherapy scents, just low lights, basic lotion, and typical massage. I do give props to my masseuse for listening to me and really concentrating most of his time on areas I wanted him to focus on.
Fun and relaxing, you can bring your own water bottles to refill at their water stations. Fun for you, a friend, couples, and a group of friends who are just looking to unwind and relax.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Christine, so glad you got to spend a day at Asha with a friend!!

I had a good experience at Asha, great place to unwind and decompress. Parking is free located right in the back. It is a place with no phones so you can really focus on decompressing. Be sure to bring swim wear to change to. When you first walk in you are able to shower to get clean and get in the cold pool. then have options to get in the hot pool , steam room and sauna. After the sauna they have a cold plunge you can do and that was my favorite part. It was so refreshing. They have add ons like massages and facials. When you leave they have an outside patio where it's social hour and you can talk and lay on the pillows and look at the sky. This was a much needed relaxation time for me and I will definitely be back.

I was gifted a spa day by my boyfriend at Asha Urban Baths and I was very excited to finally check this place out as I've been seeing it around for a while now.
First impression:
Place was very clean and staff were friendly and helpful. The front desk staff were very informative and explained the bathhouse and how it works and answered any questions I had. They directed me to the locker and explained what I needed to do and where I needed to go for my massage, distinguished the pools and their purpose and showed me the wet and dry sauna.
Massage:
The 50 minute massage was what was included in my package. Prior to the massage I filled out a questionnaire asking the areas of concern that I would like the masseuse to target and how much pressure I would like for her to use. After that I was led upstairs and into a small dark room that had an aromatherapy humidifier and candle lit. The room smelled so good and it definitely set the tone for relaxation. After I've changed to my level of comfort, the masseuse came in and the massage started. If I'm being honest, I can't really remember much of how it went cause I fell asleep because of how relaxed I was LOL. Overall I would say the massage was great.
The baths:
After the massage, I followed the directions of the bathhouse and went to the hot pool first. The pool was clean and relaxing. After the hot pool soak, I went into the wet sauna. The wet sauna could be a bit cleaner in my opinion. After that you rinse and go into the cold soak. That cold soak GETS YA. Holyyyy, it was painful but honestly much needed especially for those who work out regularly. It relaxed my muscles so much and after redoing the steps 3 or so more times, I felt so refreshed.
Overall I had a great experience at Asha and would definitely go back again. I would also highly recommend it to friends who need a little relaxation day.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

My hubby treated to a spa day and we came here. We had such wonderful and relaxing experience. The staff were great and guided us on how to use the amenities. I love how they offer everything I pretty much love, spa soak, sauna, steam room and cold plunge. We plan on returning and trying the other services they have. The drive is worth it!
