A very professional, Zen, gorgeous space in the Presidio. The staff and facilities are top-notch. The services provided were very well done and very happy with the massage and the facial. My wife was sad to leave. This would be one of the more expensive spa treatments I’ve had, but considering the city and the location, it’s par for the course. Definitely recommend and would do it regularly if I lived here. Thank you, David Spencer for the vision and the execution.

One of my favorite spas ever I try to go every time I am in SF

SenSpa is such a special place to me. The location alone, in the Presidio, is unbeatable, surrounded by natural beauty. After my massages, I love taking a stroll to Tunnel Tops nearby, where a charming café offers great food, drinks, and stunning views. It’s the perfect way to extend the relaxation after a treatment. Now, back to SenSpa! The space is beautifully designed, and although parking is on the street, I did suggest dedicated or complimentary garage parking, so guests don’t have to think about fees while unwinding. I’m always warmly greeted by the friendly reception staff, and whenever I have time to arrive early, I can settle into the robe and slippers offered in the locker room. If I’m running late, the team is so accommodating, they'll even have my robe and slippers ready in the treatment room, which is a thoughtful touch. Plus, you can linger as long as you like after your treatment to relax. I enjoy celebrating my birthday here, especially with the complimentary glass of prosecco, which feels like such a treat! The facility is impeccably clean, with thoughtfully placed teas, infused water, and snacks. One of my favorite areas is the room with the fireplace and recliners, it’s cozy, with journals left by other guests, which are fun to browse. The relaxation room also offers scented oils to try, adding a nice sensory experience. As for the massage therapists, Christine and Theresa are my go-tos, they’re incredibly skilled and detail-oriented. Their caring touch is something I truly appreciate. Having been a massage therapist for over 20 years, I can confidently say they provide some of the best massages I’ve ever had. The massage rooms are dimly lit, with comfortable tables, and they even offer scented oils (lavender is my favorite). The steam room is another bonus, though I can only handle it for a few minutes! SenSpa truly feels like a little slice of heaven in the Presidio. It’s refreshingly down-to-earth, and the prices are fair for the experience they provide. I’m a customer for life. Thank you, SenSpa!

I am a regular at Senspa and look forward to my ritual mini-wellness retreat each time. The massage therapists are knowledgeable, approachable, and appropriately personalize based on your needs. I love that there are areas for quiet relaxation as well as areas where you can connect with friends. I have yet to try the cafe but I always feel nourished with the teas, water and snacks available in the lounge. I always use the steam room before and after for added relaxation. One of these days I’m going to give their Somadome (light therapy) a try. The only drawback is that there isn’t space for a pool or dry sauna.

I've been here twice now, and had a great experience each time. The website is great, has a lot of detail, but this time since I was booking multiple services for two people I decided to call. The person who helped me gave me lots of information, answered all my questions, and helped me choose the best treatments and schedule for my preferred time. We went on a Sunday -- parking in the lot was not free but it was easy to find. The lounge (locker room) was very clean, had every amenity we needed, and the robes and shoes provided were comfortable. We chose to wait for our treatments in the quite relaxation room, which was very comfortable, and got us in the right headspace for our upcoming treatments. The treatment I chose for myself was the Himalayan Scrub and Stone. It was the best spa treatment I've ever had (and I've had quite a few!). Every little detail was amazing -- warm neck towel just at the right time, the bolsters always exactly where you wanted them, even the shower temperature was perfect when I stepped in. My daughter had a clarifying facial and a deep tissue massage -- she liked them both very much. The only disappointing element was that they'd told me they'd do something special for my daughter (we were celebrating her birthday), like a glass or Prosecco or something, but I guess they forgot, and I forgot to ask about it 'till the next day. They had a large group when we were there (bridesmaids?) so maybe they had their hands full. Not a big deal. Yes, it's very expensive, definitely something I wouldn't be able to do very often, but worth it for a special occasion.

Had an excellent Gua sha massage, left feeling tension free and relaxed. Facilities are okay, clean, and comfortable.

I had the best massage with Travis on Friday! He was very attentive, double-checking that the pressure was appropriate to my needs, which it certainly was. He hunted down every sore spot and aching muscle, and I left feeling a hundred times better than when I arrived. The level of conversation was interesting and enjoyable, but he also had no problem with the quiet times too, when we worked together to breathe out the tension. I wish I could get a massage from Travis every week!

Wonderful place - very clean and personnel are very attentive. Loved the steam room in the lady’s locker room.

Amazing spa, the best we have found so far in the Bay Area

Best massage in SF - ask for Antoniy or Sufian, they're both wonferful! Excellent deep tissue massage by any standard, Sufian has fantastic technique and really pays attention to your particular pain points. He even thoughtfully gave me instructions on a stretch to help with my shoulder. Antoniy is my go-to deep tissue massage therapist, he's the best. Very attentive and always applies the perfect amount of pressure. He somehow manages to make deep tissue massages really relaxing as well as effective.

Had not been for a decade (!) and went for a friends birthday - had forgotten how peaceful and relaxing it is there. Ended the evening with one of the best massages I’ve had with a very knowledgable masseuse. Total treat.

Hidden gem in the city for wonderful treatments. The staff are welcoming, the therapists are excellent, and the spa itself is very relaxing. The only thing that could make it better is a hot tub, but still giving it 5 stars.

I had the hot stone massage. It was amazing! The face pillow was a bit uncomfortable, so make sure you adjust it beforehand. The facilities are lovely, many places to chill and sip some tea or one of their flavored waters. A few snacks are out as well. The locker rooms have a steam room which I enjoyed and nice shower facilities. The robe provided was super soft and comfy. There is a huge gift shop area and I ended up purchasing a lovely German bath oil. I would come back here!

I’ve now been here twice and neither time was that great. First time my therapist no showed so I had to wait -~1 hour for another one, the second time the massage was good, but not exceptional. Feels very overpriced for what you get - a 90min massage for $322 should equal a luxurious experience (akin to cavallo). Facilities are pretty outdated, bathroom/changing area is just meh (even the hairdryer is very cheap), no steam or sauna, shampoo/conditioner isn’t high quality. Won’t be returning.

Kelly is my esthetician. She's amazing. My skin always feels hydrated, even and purified afterwards

Melissa is knowledgeable and happy to share tips for better skin. Her facial is relaxing and highly effective, I left with much clearer skin. The spa itself has a lovely steam shower.

Really wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

The customer service at Sen Spa is TOP TIER!!! I had to cancel due to a car accident, and their staff was nothing but caring, concerned, and extremely supportive. 💚Cannot wait for my massage appointment if that's how they treat their customers over the phone.🏆🥲TY!!

The experience at SenSpa is excellent. The locker rooms and facilities are a bit basic, but they have everything you need including lounge areas to relax and unwind prior to and after your treatment, and the staff is very attentive (the gentleman who was maintaining the men’s locker room asked me what time my session ended so he could make sure to set the steam room and have it ready when I finished). The massage itself was incredible. I had a deep-tissue massage with Gemma. She worked me over better than I could have hoped, and the pain I had in my back has since gone away. Easily one of the best massages I have ever experienced. Definitely not a spa to go to if you are on a budget, but if you are looking to splurge or take someone special for their birthday, you will not be disappointed. Ask for Gemma.

The masseuses here are all very skilled and fantastic. I always walk away feeling so much better, relaxed, and looser. It’s my favorite place to get a massage in San Francisco!
