Oriental Spa Banbury (Castle Street) AVOID

[HappyEnder]

Gotta say that it takes an awful lot for me to think of an establishment as negative but this place is old school awful

I was looking for Mimosa and I am guessing that its no longer around as I couldn't find it. Found an old Chinese woman who offered me a massage in an Acupuncture place but thought the better of it and went on.

Found Oriental Spa.

Entrance : Its on a busy road but the speed of traffic and the lack of pedestrians is a positive and I went in.

Met with an older asian lady who wasn't unattractive but was surely close to 60...glad it wasn't her. Asked for Massage and another girl showed up. Handed over £45 for the room and basic massage.

Venue is clean but the lighting is terrible but I didn't feel anything running between my toes as I walked in.

The girl asked what I wanted. Asked for B2B and was quoted £100...I laughed out loud. Not a fucking chance and started at £40 eventually we agreed on £70. WAY more than I pay in Birmingham but the place seemed decent

Way too much oil for the massage. but there is a decent shower in the room so I wasn't bothered too much.

Massage started with good firm strokes and if I'd been paying £45 for that massage I'd have been happy. Asked to roll over without any B2B and then got another firm massage on the front. No CC Swipes and no light brushes or build up just massage (at this point I wondered if I'd misunderstood and this place was legit)

With 10 mins to go I got "You want extra" I said that I thought that we'd agreed £70 for B2B then I asked "how long is left" she said "10 mins" so the B2B obviously got lost in translation but at this point its not the end of the world so I ask for HE. She stops as says you pay now. So all the mood slipped as I had to get up and get £30 out of my wallet.

The HE was about as enjoyable as a greyhound race is for a live rabbit. Shot the custard and she kept going (the lighting is so bad that she hasn't even seen it until the second lot hits her hand.

Awful. I seriously hope I save some of you the issues that I had here. Would love to try others in Banbury as I'll be passing Banbury a lot in the coming weeks. Feel free to recommend.

Bad luck with your visit fella, shame about that. This place is one of the chain of shops in Leamington, Coventry, Stratford and probably more, and they do move around. The girls who were at Banbury a while ago are now in Stratford (good recent reviews on here). I've been here many a time and had average, good and very good experience, but lately everywhere seems to be just focussed on getting a high price for B2B and f-all else.

Mimosa is open and in same place, and in fact I was in there this week. Nothing new to report as have reviewed before, but despite the higher basic price of £55/hour the extras are more sensible at the expected £20HE / £40B2B.
Trouble is this place also has rotating girls, but in my view they are all pretty reasonable and a sure bet for extra fun time.

There is a new Thai place opened up in town which I have not yet visited - I planned to but then they changed their ad to say "we no do extra so please stop calling and asking" which put me off. Still, money usually talks to Thai chicas so it is still on my list when I'm over that way and feeling flush.

Thanks Chap. I've since realised my mistake with Mimosa and I'll give that another go next time I'm passing

Agree you always get a better guaranteed deal at Mimosa.  Regarding the new Thai place on Broad Street, this is totally legit.  Had a good chat with the owner and she was quite clear that she didn’t want her place to be known for anything other than quality massage.
