    Amazing time at the Banya
    Had an amazing visit! Loved every minute of it. I have visited the Hoxton Banya no1 before and left feeling like it wasn’t worth the money. The treatments felt rushed and seemed to be over very quickly. Different experience at the Chiswick Banya. Was worth every penny and I have left feeling relaxed, content and looking forward to coming back soon. Chiswick is much further from home for me than Hoxton but the extra travel seems well worth it. I went on a men only day and if you are uncomfortable with others being naked then it may not be for you. I found that it soon felt completely normal and actually added to the sense of relaxation and well being! The treatments I received were out of this world. I had a parenie, a scrub and also a body wash. The therapist was great, very friendly and polite. He took his time and I would highly recommend the treatments I had. I had the same treatments at Hoxton and these were another level in comparison. I will be back for sure, I can’t wait!

    authentic experience, great service and food... especially great in cold winter months - will warm you up!
    authentic Russian banya, food and drinks experience. nice service. recommend to brave proper 'pareniye' and dunking into cold water (the 'banshchik' - the attendant - will help you to be decisive and nudge you to do it). good to spend time together in a cabin outside of the steamroom with food and drinks. we went 3 times, usually spend at least 2 hours there, popping into the steam room periodically.

    Great experience.
    Great experience, this was a gift and very welcome. Came out feeling less stressed and a different experience than a "normal" spa. People were really lovely and polite. food was good, although not to my tastes. Would recommend full experience - massage was great, leaves massage was good and body scrub great too.

    Unparalleled relaxation and culinary delight at Banya No.1
    I visited Banya No.1 in London this December 2023 and it was an extraordinary experience that surpassed all my expectations! Having been to many saunas before, I can confidently say that Banya No.1 offers a level of body and mind relaxation that is simply unparalleled. The key to this exceptional experience lies in the professional guidance and meticulous delivery of rituals by the banya employees. Every step of the process is thoughtfully crafted and perfected down to the smallest detail, ensuring complete relaxation and satisfaction - and what a difference that makes! And the food - oh, the food deserves a chapter of its own! Absolutely delicious, it's a culinary experience that left me thinking they should open a separate restaurant outside the spa... it would be an instant hit! For me Banya No.1 is now a must-visit destination in London, offering a unique and rejuvenating experience. It would also make a fantastic gift for someone special! Highly recommend!

    Great place - give it a try!
    First time at Banja No.1 in Chiswick - I received a voucher as a gift for Christmas. It was a great experience - sauna very hot (which was good!), massage sorted out a problem with my neck, parenie was excellent and not like anything I had experience before!, body scrub and mud mask were very good. Felt great afterwards. I would highly recommend and will be back.

    An awesome spa experience
    This was an awesome experience that I have never had before. We had a group and a package so had more than just the Parenie that is 100% worth experiencing. The pickled herring was delicious as was the vodka and pickle shots in between. Based on the entire experience I can now take a cold shower that is extremely exhilarating.

    Relaxing few hours
    A truly unique spa experience. We booked the Karelia room for two and were very well looked after. The Sauna is fabulous, cold plunge pool and treatments were divine. Highly recommended! We will be back

    Very enjoyable spa experience
    Amazing experience - felt very refreshed afterwards. My friend and I enjoyed the Gold package as a birthday celebration. We loved the Parenie which was our first time and both took the cold pool plunge but all the treatments were excellent. Staff were very helpful and attentive- thank you!

We bought the Silver Package which included a 3h spa session including our own booth, parenie, honey & salt body scrub, and mud face mask. In terms of facilities, I suspect this is very traditional, as it's a no-frills environment. You get a private booth to return to in between treatments or use of the steam room, where you can order food and drinks. The spa has a large steam room, shower area, cold bucket showers, and a cold plunge pool. Given we were there 3h, I did wish there were a few different rooms to move between, but there is just the one steam room as the key feature. The parenie was interesting, though it's not a very relaxing experience. The mud mask was okay. The honey & salt scrub – I've got a high pain threshold – be warned, it is incredibly painful. It felt like broken glass being rubbed on my skin. I've had vigorous body scrubs in places like Marrakech and Istanbul, but nothing like the pain of the honey & salt scrub. I'm not sure why the ingredients they use are so abrasive – nothing touching your body needs to feel like that. My partner was quite upset after having this done, and we ended up cancelling our plans for the rest of the day. It made for a unique experience, but not one that we're likely to repeat given that there is just the one steam room. Additionally, bear in mind that the ambiance is very no-frills, not romantic or indulgent.

I thought the experience was good, it was booked as a treat for my partner who loves the sauna/plunge experience so thought it would be right up his street. The banya itself is very nice, relaxing, a great space. Followed by the cold plunge and a little eyes-closed meditation moment I genuinely felt a real high! Really enjoyable. The space is nice, the tea was good, loads of food options, staff were mostly very nice. The parenie was a unique experience... not relaxing, but a cool thing to do!

My main gripe is that there is only one banya, so parenie treatments take place in front of everyone else. Equally, they do the parenie treatments for people one after the other after the other, so you have to enter whilst the treatments are happening if you want to use the facilities. We got shouted at really loudly by the older gentleman doing a treatment when we tried to walk in, to the point we ended up going and sitting back in our booth for over an hour whilst we waited for the parenie treatments to end, which felt like we wasted most of our time there. Ways to get around this would be: A) explain to guests when they can/can't enter B) don't shout at people, it isn't nice and C) have 2 banya rooms... one for treatments and one for regular use, and then the problem is avoided.

Other than that, a good experience, it was just a bit soured.

It was a bad experience. The guy giving me the massage wouldn't stop talking throughout the session and even tried to sell me stuff he was making..food supplements etc
The place felt dirty. In one of the signature treatment that took place in the sauna, I even noticed that they used the same branches to “touch” all the sweaty bodies.
I was cold all the time and somehow felt embarrassed to ask for towels...Food was ok..
Guys giving the massage were smiley and polite, except for the annoying one I mentioned above.

Decent enough hot room, but I was sad at how small it was. Seems clean though so that’s good. Good locker room. Good food options . My wife really would have preferred a hot water thing to hang out in as well. Basically 1 Banya room, one plunge , one shower and treatment rooms . I guess I got spoiled from work trips to Minsk where you’d have 10 different hot rooms, steam rooms, pools , tons of different types of treatments like sensor depnand got my standards up . Massage was average
