    Pros: - Friendly staff. - Nice ambience. - The space is clean, staff is constantly cleaning the bar, which is amazing. - One drink included in the price. - They provide a wrist band to hold your locker key that is the most comfortable I ever used. - Steam sauna with lots of space. Cons: - They don't provide free flip flops, be prepared to pay 4.50 for one as they only sell it or to get athlete's foot. First sauna I ever been that don't provide free flip flops during the stay. Weird business decision. - Jacuzzi is okay not the best and not the worst I've seen, and half of the jacuzzi wasn't working. - The darkroom is basically pitch black, which is a shame, and from my POV an identity crisis, the place shows itself as spa like, sexy, modern, sleek and I would expect some lights placed in specific spots to highlight the body shapes in a sexy way (not enough to see faces or anything), but instead, it provides a space for creeps to group there. Conclusion: I recommend the place for its spa qualities, but not for sex at all.

    I have been frequenting this sauna for a few years now. There are good upsides but also flaws that seriously need attention. Upsides: _ the location is central, can easliy be reached with public transport. - the dishes served have changed and used to be better, more varied& adventurous and have become overall more expensive but it's better than no kitchen as in some saunas and it's all still very edible. - the entrance fee €24,50 is not cheap but affordable for most men who are into men. Looking at the location, the service and the facilities it's reasonable. - let's face it: everybody- and yes, that includes me- goes there to meet men and have sex. It's often very busy and there is lots of action with a very wide range of types in every sense thinkable. The downsides (that need attention!!): - it's not a large sauna which causes it to be a bit overcrowded at times - they have put a machine with cabinets with cabled in to you can connect your phone to charge it. The location of this machine as well as the machine itself are very inconvenient as the cables are short and the interior of the cabinet so dark that you can't properly see. - the sauna on the whole is a bit too dark. - the interior of the lockers are black which causes poor vision inside increasing the risk of forgetting items. - the staff does not hand our lockers randomly. They hand them out chronologically. This causes it to become very busy in one aile of the locker-section and quiet in the next.It's like this every time. It sometimes makes me question their intelligence, no offense. It really does. - the doors of the toilet-section are in such a narrow space it's a matter of time that someone will be badly hit by an opening door. - this also counts for the door to the dry sauna-section, located in an often busy corner. - what really bothers me is that the lights in the darkroom are switched on (for cleaning) unannounced. It comes off as rude and inconsiderate of the owners. - The staff is for from always consequent in the enforcements of house rules. If s staff member fancies an offender, he will be almost rewarded for breaking the rules. I have seen this happening a few times in the course of the years. - the staff has become less and less racially diverse. Diversity is seen in terms of trans or femme guys but the last few years the staff looks like one in a city in a remote part of Transsylvania. Not like Amsterdam. Everybody working there is white (there are some Arab/Middle Eastern members but that also is white). I don't see Amsterdam represented in this sauna which is a big disappoitment. - I wonder who came up with the idea of the square coffee tables in front of the bench. Numerous times I have scratched my leg against the edge because there is little space to walk. Round ones would make all the difference. It's not rocket science.

    I visited Amsterdam and went here with a friend to chill and have fun. Clean, small sauna, well located. Good mix of clientele, mostly friendly atmosphere in the client areas. This atmosphere changes however when you interact with the staff who seem to be deliberately unapproachable, unsmiling, officious, a bit like old-style post office workers, and acting like they shouldn't really be there( while saving the smiles and courtesy for each other) I could only give 3 stars due to this.

    Excellent place, the attention of the kids both at the entrance and at the bar, everything impeccable..... Really a very good experience...!

    Staff are sweet and cute, I thought super affordable also included one drink in ticket, apparently. Cleaner constantly cleaning, praise to his essential work. Jacuzzi, I kind of wish they had another water bath or something too, but all you can want from a sauna house, really top place.

    Unfriendly staff, no smoking area and for re entry they wanted my phone to make sure I wasn’t running off without paying the 1,50€ that my “free” drink was supposed to be. Seriously people what the F. My advice is go anywhere else but this place if you want actual fun. Nice staff makes all the difference. Especially The person at the bar was really awful and nasty to my friends and me

    The sauna is truly beautiful, very clean, very central, pleasant spaces, the steam is very good. It could be bigger but ok. The jacuzzi is very comfortable and hot, the sauna is super hot and has good views of the showers, I loved that. The cabins are some very spacious and the staff is lovely, all very friendly. We went several times and we will continue to attend

    It was my first time in a Sauna and I was expecting mostly the jacuzzi to get relax but that day concretely didn't work and I was alone so I didn't feel it was exactly I was expecting for me, cause I didn't want only sex. But the team was good and the lockers safe. The only thing is I only was checking the place one hour or little bit more and I paid the entrance and it wasn't so cheap. But I can imagine if you go with a friend or someone and the jacuzzi or whirlpool working could be a good experience.

    This is my first review of gay saunas around Europe. Extremely clean and well maintained. Not very big but not small either. Perfectly organized. People of all ages and sizes. My flight was next day so I had to go earlier, just when things got busier, unfortunately. I was there on a Friday night. I will definitely go again next time.

    It was very busy, full of men looking for a good time. You get a free drink as part of your entry fee and it is cheaper for 25 y.o and under. The facilities are great, lots of rooms and spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Daytrip-sauna,,🙄 Towels are not clean its moldy,stale. Some people need to pay 1 euro extra for a towel the other ones not. Plastic glasses for consumption not clean as well after soaps cleaning,i feel soap test in the drink. There was dirt in all facilities so its was closed for cleaning,smell was disgusting When steam bath got ready and clean, smell from cleaning chemicals inside was very strong,so i got dizzy and left. After i got STD,very high risk to catch it,not recommended for young or beginners or people who cares 😉 Mix clientele.

    Amazing experience. Went on a Wednesday night. It was kinda slow but still had a good time. Staff constantly cleaning which was a good sign. The whole space was clean. The staff is amazing, very friendly. The crowd was very nice and respectful. The design of the space encourages interaction. The highlight was front desk guy Joshua. He’s very handsome and sexy.

    Decent place, but it's not that big. This meant that everything was tightly packed, the sauna, dark rooms, steam shower, showers, relax area, lockers, everything was pretty much next to each other. Shower setup was cramped but there was a glass wall in the sauna to see everyone showering which was kind of cool. Lube and condoms were readily available which is a plus. Some useful info: Saturday evening 8-11pm: Around 100+ people there. Median age probably around 40-45. There were more younger guys (25-30) who came later in the evening. Probably 75/25 visitor/local ratio. Even the locals were mainly foreigners living in Amsterdam. Some action going on here and there, most men were just relaxing or cruising or in their own groups. Overall it's not bad, given its location and price. I wish it was slightly more spacious and easier to talk and chat with others.

    I was very pleasantly surprised and I must say that after the Berlin Boiler it is the 2nd best sauna I have visited in continental Europe. High attendance, cleanliness, friendly staff, many relaxation zones. I will definitely like to go back.

    Visited 19.10.23 whilst visiting Amsterdam, first impressions very clean and the 2 guys on door very welcoming, overall mixed crowd most friendly great it’s on one level, probably only moan would be apart from bar whole place far to dark which would not take a lot to improve slightly, but compared to uk saunas very well fitted out.

    Great venue in the centre of the city. I always have a good time here, nice to relax and have a good time whether alone or with friends (or indeed new friends) Friendly staff and the venue is always clean from my experience.

    Very nice place. Sadly it's not possible anymore to smoke inside, but the atmosphere and team behind the bar totally cover it. Different themes for different days. Personally I love Sundays.

    Visited on Monday. This was a nice experience. The crew ia very nice and polite. If you visit make sure you don't miss the ceremonies. The chocolate bath I would recommend

    Been there often. Last time was to full and half of the jacuzzi was not working properly. Apart from that I like to drink natural sparkling water that they don't have. Not the best experience this time.

    I don't think it's okay that some people write here about old men. You also have a right to be in this place. I come here from Germany (Hannover) and it's always an experience for me. Nice staff, nice people. I think the cleanliness is okay. If it's not that clean then it should be some people will think about it leaves dirt behind. In any case, I am thrilled with this place and am looking forward to being there again on December 30th, 2023
