What a fun and relaxing evening. The facility is clean and the staff was so calming and welcoming really helped us to relax and enjoy the experience.
Ten on ten expérience. Thank you Anna for the crazy good experience. I really do appreciate. It exceeded out expectation. We recommend hardly getting their signature beers and the charcuterie board. They were splendid.
Our visit to Bains Ninkasi was truly one of the most unique and enjoyable experiences we have had in Montréal. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere invited us to disconnect from the outside world and simply relax. The concept is unlike anything else we have experienced. Combining the benefits of traditional brewing ingredients with a spa environment creates a sensory journey that is both fun and deeply rejuvenating. The beer-inspired baths, sauna, and relaxation areas were thoughtfully designed, and the staff made us feel welcome throughout our visit. The experience was relaxing, original, and memorable from beginning to end. What impressed us most was how everyone in our group left with a smile. We felt refreshed, energized, and genuinely happy after spending time there. It is rare to find a wellness experience that feels both innovative and authentic at the same time. If you are visiting Montréal and looking for something different, we highly recommend Bains Ninkasi. Ask your hotel concierge to arrange a reservation and treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind experience. We are already looking forward to returning!
A very relaxing experience. Had this on my birthday & if I’m ever in MTL, I’ll definitely be doing it again ❤️
I had a fantastic experience at Bains Ninkasi this weekend. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. The concept itself is so unique, and it really delivers on the experience. Everything was thoughtfully designed—from the clean, stylish space to the little details that made it feel special (like complimentary loofah scrubs). There are electric panels that slide down between the tubs for a more romantic or private evening, as well as the possibility of keeping them open for more sociable visits. The staff was also extremely accommodating and made sure I was comfortable throughout, which really elevated the visit. The treatment itself was incredible—both relaxing and fun at the same time. It felt like the perfect blend of novelty and genuine self-care. The beer was tasty, the aromas were perfect, and the “calm spaces” were a pleasant surprise. I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and already thinking about when I can visit again. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something different and memorable.
