Spa

The reviews of The Residence Aiolou Hotel & Spa's spa are mixed with some guests enjoying a relaxing couples massage or excellent individual massages with exceptional therapists in a beautiful setting. However, some guests were disappointed that there was no spa on-site and that the spa seemed more like a marketing tactic with the name more than anything else. Some guests noted that the hotel lacked an elevator and the spa was only accessible by walking to another hotel nearby, while others found the facilities to be good. The lack of emphasis on the spa was also noted by some guests with the hotel providing a bar code at check-in that directed them to a price list and booking site for what seemed like a partner business down the street.
