After reading so many positive reviews saying is the best sauna and having visited 8 saunas in Europe, I decided to take the chance and experience Boiler by myself. This is just my opinion as an experienced traveller /visitor /sex tourist. The positive things about this sauna are the friendliness and politeness of the staff . It is also relatively clean and spacious . The sauna is really good and the relaxing areas are comfortable. You can buy drinks and snacks. On the other hand , if you are willing to visit during the weekend you will have to wait in the queue for at least two hours before entering which can be frustrating and energy draining at the same time. The majority of fhe clients are over 40 ( very few under) which is not a bad thing in a way but if you are young and want to attract the same you might get disappointed. It is not exclusively a cruising sauna as it seems most of the clients are spending their time in the relaxing areas, jacuzzi,smoking areas socializing and looking each other. Most of the fun happens in the steam room and in the dark room( where faces are not clearly seen ) but do not expect very intense fun . I went on a Friday night stayed for 6 Hours had some fun but noticed that the majority of the men there were just there for the spa not for the fun. If you are going for the hammam/spa/jaccuzi then you will enjoy it but if you are going just for fun have in your mind that it is not exclusively fun oriented. There are still opportunities for fun but it is not that intense like other saunas I visited in the past. Will I return? Well...I don't know...maybe yes maybe no... I give this sauna 3 stars and I don't believe it's the best in Europe when it comes to cruising. hmmmm I forgot to mention it is very expensive

Great location, great vibe, clean and friendly. Perfect break for relaxation during your berlin stay. Massages highly recommended. All masseurs are good but my special mention goes to Antonio who not only has a killer smile but really knows what he’s doing. Tens across the board!!

Pretty easy, no issues like some of the reviews here suggest. I am not personally into cruising but enjoyed the insight into that aspect of queer culture. But I'm leaving the review because after having tried some other saunas in Berlin the jacuzzi and steam rooms here actually rate pretty highly on their own. You genuinely have more privacy in the jacuzzi here than the hot tub in Vabali lmao. Anyway, support queer businesses

Still my favourite in the world. Incredible facilities, amazing staff and a host of handsome guys. I do think around 3-4pm on a Sunday is always a winner, but whenever I've been, it's never disappointed.

This is far the best gay sauna I've been in my life! Crowded with men for any preferences, clean, friendly staff, free to have sex wherever I wanted, 2 dry saunas, 2 steam rooms, jacuzzi, friendly guys talking to each others, resting rooms, drinks on reasonable prices...what else could I ask for? I was a bit concerned about the negative comments I read here but I'm so happy to have ignored them and went to have my own conclusions. If ever in Berlin, for sure I'll be back. Well done team!
