Massage Amsterdam for the solo traveller: giving an evening alone in the city some shape

Solo visitors make up a good share of the people who write to this house. They come for work and stay on for a day, they come for an exhibition, or they simply prefer to travel alone. Their days are often longer than other visitors', because nobody suggests a rest, and their evenings are quieter. An evening booking in their own room fits that pattern well.

Booking a massage in Amsterdam for one

A solo booking is the simplest kind: one guest, one therapist, a room you know. Write with the address, the hour and the length, and either a name from the therapists or a note that anyone free will do. If English is not your first language, write simply; the reply will be just as plain, and everything that matters is set down in writing in the thread.

The door and the hotel

Travelling alone, you may be more aware of the building around you: who is at the desk, who sees a visitor come up. Hotels differ, and the thread is the place to mention anything particular, such as a keycard lift or a desk that asks visitors to wait in the lobby. She arrives as an ordinary visitor and comes up as any guest of yours would. The booking thread entry explains what the written conversation holds and where payment details appear.

Planning the solo evening

Solo travellers often eat early. A dinner at six, a slow walk back, and a booking at eight leave the rest of the night for sleep. Or turn it round: book for seven, and go out afterwards for a late meal in a quiet restaurant near the hotel. There is nobody to agree with, so the evening can run exactly as you want it. Some solo visitors book the same therapist twice in a trip, on an early evening and again before leaving; others try someone new each time. Either works, and the reply to a second request simply says whether the name you asked for is free.

Keeping it private

Nothing about the booking leaves the thread. There are no accounts, no mailing lists and no card numbers typed into a page. Everyone in the room must be twenty-one or over, and she may ask to see a photo document at the door; it is handed back at once, and nothing is copied or written down.
