Sara - Elite Hammam and Spa - Finchley Road

Website: External Link/Members Only

Cost: £110 + £50
Services: 30 min hammam + 30 min massage + HJ
Location: Address is on website. It's a few minutes walk from Finchley Road station. On the main street so quite obvious but I doubt anyone cares.

Girl: Sara, slim brunette Moroccan with a reasonable look to her. Probably 6/10 face and body. I had specifically asked to avoid the 'big' girls and fortunately the receptionist wasn't too aggrieved at me asking.

Service: Arrived, waited a couple of minutes and Sara was called up to get me. She was wearing cheap gym/cycling shorts and a vest top with bra under. Walked me to the changing room downstairs and asked that I put my things in a locker (note: you need a £1 coin for this). Donned the gown and slippers and went to the hammam room, still wearing my boxers underneath. Sara promptly told me to take them off - and of course I did. So there I was, laying naked on the stone block with a nice warm shower being worked over me. The hammam experience was enjoyable and a treat being washed down by a woman. Sara would occasionally stroke my growing erection and make a comment about extras and more 'fun' to be had. The touches were nice but the upsell starting so early put a downer on the show, especially when she mentioned the prices £60 HJ, £100 BJ and £150 B2B. These extras were to be carried out in the massage room after - so she was scoping out how much I would spend.

I told her I only had £50 and eventually back-and-forth led to her accepting that for the HJ. I wasn't too bothered but I'd come out all this way to try the experience so why not. Of course, reading other reviews I see the price was extortionate considering Sara was fully clothed throughout, but she wasn't in the mood to negotiate lower and tbh the mood soured somewhat when she knew I wasn't going to be spending 'big'. I mean £150 for B2B, on top of the £110 I was paying already, that's too rich for me!

So into the massage room for basic oily massage. Nothing really sensual until it's time to turn over for the 5 minute HJ.

All done, she told me to go back down to the shower and that was it.

Conclusion: I would love to go back to a proper Turkish or Moroccan hammam, but that's not going to happen so this was the next best thing. It was OK, as in the Hamman was good but Sara brought up the discussion of extras too early and ramped up the prices massively. And of course, once you refuse the extras, it puts the SP into a mood and ruins the event. I would enjoy a nude Hammam and would gladly pay for that, but the massage and 'extras' were a waste of money. The upselling kills the experience.

Having been a former patron of the place, I find this review well expresses why it's a pish-poor offering and should be avoided. Poor review-geezer paid £110 for a scrub-down, which requires less effort from the staff than an hour's massage at £60, and then gets whacked for an extra £50 for a five minute hj which is normally available for c.£30-£40 if taken with the massage. The arithmetic just doesn't stand up when we can easily find full-service sex for £120 that starts from minute 1 of our hour.

'Elite' (LOL) Spa is in a scruffy part of town, the interiors are poorly maintained, held together by gaffer-tape, and the owner is a seedy-looking spiv.

No.

OP, thanks for sharing
I fancy the idea of a turkish spa with a steam room
Does this place have one
What i'd like is the spa set up locker gown then a wash down with some xtras

Back in the day i had a soapy massage in Vegas
After much fucking around in & out of aisan spas in china town asking to see the massage burds [declined so i walked] i thought try one more place
I had a free hire car with the flight other than for paying for the insurance didn't use it much however this came into play
Otherwise taxis clock up the $ & it can be hassle waiting finding one to be dropped off 1/2 mile down the road etc
A FAF receptionist i asked who did the massages & she said its me
I was visibly  & she was very pleased at my reaction
She locked the door turned the sign round to closed & said follow me, yes please ! 

Lying on a stone tablet getting soaped up then tugged off was brilliant
Paid for an hour gave a tip at the start she said no rush as quiet & she liked me [the english accent helped]
Shower then massage on a normal bench & out came the 2nd albeit smaller load, a turn up for the books
An hour 20 mins overall i really should have got her mobile & asked her what she was doing the next few days she was gorgeous

Anyways the relevance is the 1st part soapy stuff ideally with a warm up turkish bath steam room etc
During which time i can contemplate what may follow 
Any ideas other in addition to this place ?

At what point did you do this OP? Did you book ahead or ask this in person?

On the phone when I called to make a booking. Receptionist can be cordial if you're nice to her.

I really hated the upsell by the SP though. It ruins what should be a natural, relaxing time. The hammam would have been very nice if she didn't constantly try to get more £££ out of me.
