Les Bains Douches

I was a bit nervous with the low rating and negative reviews. I found the place to be very clean and nice. The hot tub was closed at the time of visit. The dry sauna is nice and large. Also a very nice steam room. Be ready to do a few steps. The place is over 4.5 floors.

I went to the establishment three times in April 2026 and had a really good time. Please don’t listen to the negative reviews. The staff were fine and the facilities weren’t bad. I liked the really really large hot tub. The price was €15 cash only. I had a good time each night and interacted with a guy from the Ukraine and later a guy from Russia, which I thought was interesting. There was a nice mix of men there, and I enjoyed the place. It seemed clean and well run. If I go back to Nice for future travel, I would definitely go there again.

Old style sauna, little bit dark but good size with all normal facilities. No issues at reception, getting into a sauna is hardly a complex procedure, but try and make the effort, and you can not expect everyone to spleak English. Went Saturday afternoon not very busy but had some fun, mixed ages, younger guys too. Reasonably priced and cash only. Would go again.

The worst "sauna experience" of my life. I can't even understand how certain places can exist nowadays and why the health authorities don't intervene. The sauna is dirty, with bad smells in all the rooms. The condition is dilapidated and lacks maintenance. The only person present from the staff that I saw is an elderly man not very polite, who, when he is at the bar, sits on the counter and rests his feet and shoes on the opposite counter. In the bathrooms and showers sometimes there is no water, there is no soap in the dispensers, there is no paper or disinfectant in the cabins. Obviously, there are also no condoms and lubricant in the relevant dispensers. The only saving grace is the ship-style furniture on the upper floor. As if there were some asset to protect, the sauna is dotted with cameras, but there is no adequate information regarding the related processing of personal data.

Such a cool and hot old-school sauna. Do not pay any attention to the negative reviews here. Best in the afternoon and just remember it’s cash only. Also try speaking French all you anglophones - don’t demand English (this is France) and then get upset when there is a not such a friendly response as a result. 5 very hot and steamy stars!
