I came to Rome for a few days of vacation and decided to pay a visit to Adam! Excellent experience and atmosphere, with a nice location and easily reachable from Roma Termini. The staff is very caring and nice as well! It's a 10/10! I will surely come back!

Textbook definition of gets he job done. The aging of the facility is noticeable, but everything works fine. The steam room is a nice size. Membership required for €10 for a year.

It's not really a sauna but a club. NO SHOWER. Went on an event on Saturday night, too busy and they are not ready the amount of people, no tower and slipper prepared. Big queue using the toilet! Most Italian speaking not much English heard. A bit concerned and alone as tourist.

Don’t listen to the bad reviews of jaded guests. This place is a great time in Rome. Staff was courteous and friendly - also spoke English which was helpful for us tourists. Place is big with lots of areas. The bar in the middle is great for socializing and meeting new people. We enjoyed the multiple saunas and hot tub. Some areas felt a little dingy and neglected but overall was fun.

Arrived the previous night and the front counter guy told me it was best to come back the next day, as they were closing soon and there were very few people inside. I was grateful for this advice and did come back the next day and Marco checked me in and was very nice. Actually, all the staff members were extremely nice and professional.The facilities were very clean and each room actually seems to have a bottle of disinfectant so patrons can clean the mattress if necessary. The jacuzzi, Turkish bath, sauna, showers and bathrooms were all clean and well kept. I did not smell mold or anything like that as other reviewers state.Now, as for any actual acton taking place, there were probably 30 men in the facility and to be honest, play was very limited with most guys simply lounging around and relaxing over conversation. The only action that was ever constant was inside the Turkish bath area and it really wasn't very hot, if you know what I mean because the steam gets way too hot to really have any extended fun inside. Perhaps it's better on the weekend but my experience was mediocre at best on a weekday/night. The good news is, there isn't a time limit for staying so really, you can literally stay for hours and hours waiting for very little to happen. If you intend to use the facilities without expectation, I would definitely recommend checking it out. If you are expecting action, I'd recommend checking out Censored.

I honestly don’t understand how this place has more than a single star.While visiting Rome, I looked it up, skimmed the reviews, and decided to give it a try. Huge mistake. I should’ve paid attention to the bad reviews instead of brushing them off. This ended up being the worst gay bathhouse I’ve ever set foot in, and the whole place is in dire need of serious renovation.The smell of mold hit me as soon as I walked in, and it never went away. The floors were slick, grimy, and covered in standing water. Overall, the environment was just terrible.The crowd was mostly older men

Absolutely the Worst Experience of My Life – Disgusting, Deceptive, and Filthy. What a rip off. I went this afternoon thinking I’d relax, but from the very start it was a nightmare. To even step inside, you’re forced to buy a “membership card” for €10, on top of the €15 entrance fee. Fine — I paid. But here’s the kicker: the man at the desk, who was as rude and dismissive as they come, happily took my money without bothering to mention that the sauna was broken and the steam room was closed. That’s not just bad service — that’s deliberate deceit.And for what? The moment I stepped inside, I was assaulted by a stench — a nauseating cocktail of mould, urine, stale sweat, and cigarette smoke. The locker room reeked of damp, rotting socks. The floors were slick and treacherous, like an accident waiting to happen. It was filthy beyond belief.Inside? 3 old men lurking around, making the place feel even more grim. I lasted 20 minutes before I couldn’t take it anymore.Avoid this cesspit at all costs — the staff are rude, the place is a scam, and it is one of the most revolting, unhygienic environments I have ever stepped foot in. Of course I expect the rude owner to answer back to my review because they are unable to take criticism, but I have nothing to gain by informing you of my experience.....don't take my word for it, go and see for yourselves. But you would be throwing our money away

Old and tired, back to the 80’s site, with some areas smelly. Staff were helpful but premises is tired and out of date. When I was getting undressed a drunk man belched beside me - set the tone for the experience. The cabin area smelt of damp and sewage (it is underground) and the swab covers were so cracked and broken they are unclean-able. Wouldn’t return so won’t recommend it.

Dark and seedy in a good way. Pretty clean. Inexpensive drinks but I did run up a $70 tab solo one night. Somebody kept stealing my towel so I had to walk naked to the bar to get a new one but the staff was chill. I came for New year’s 2022/2023. Went 4 nights in a row and arrived before New Year’s eve toast and left at 2pm the next afternoon. You do the math. Miss you guys ❤️

I'll give it a 4 for the crowd. The best part of the club is the bar. The staff are friendly. Locker area is a bit tight in space. Steam room is huge but smells like piss. Needs cleaning attention from time to time. They allow people to do it in the pool as I saw several members effin'. Overall it was a good experience. It's the cheaper sauna in Rome. Mixed crowd but mostly varoniles. Very dim lighting so you wouldnt see if it is clean or not but the smell is very suggestive.

Was here in mid November and it was my first time in this kind of a sauna. A bit smelly but I’d say it’s normal, I went for fun and relaxing so I didn’t care. I had an unforgettable experience, everything else was good and working unlike the other reviews say. I also met the nicest guy from Milano which I’ll never forget and I wish I never left. Would definitely go back when I visit Rome again!

It was my first time I went to Roma and in the sauna it was so horrible. It was smelling very bad the barman very bad not a good personnot talking good they say normally the price is €25 of your new so you have to pay €35 and the sauna was smelling very bad inside. Nothing was good. I didn’t like it. It was like scamming.A lot of old people, I didn’t see that much young people

Easy to find the place, next to Black Hole barStaff here are hot and friendly, but they might struggle with English so please be kind to them.It is big but mostly cruising area, there is a big sauna room and a big steam(turkish bath), resting area with 2 TV(you know what they showing) many private room, toilets and showers.I saw people review about locker but seem there is not a problem at all cos they have huge locker room than other professional sauna place.Try to find Hugo at the bar 🙂 ❤️❤️❤️

Avoid this sauna at all costs!I paid 25€, even though the official entrance fee is 15€ (as stated in their own description). When I asked about this, they told me that the first visit costs 25€, something that is not mentioned anywhere and is obviously an excuse to charge whatever they want.As soon as I entered, the place smelled absolutely disgusting, like an abandoned dungeon. The showers were not working, the staff was rude and looked like they didn’t even want to be there.The jacuzzi was filthy, with people having sex inside, even though this is supposedly not allowed. There was zero supervision and no basic hygiene.On top of all this, they also stole my 25€ change. I only opened my bag inside the sauna, and when I realized the money was missing, I went back to ask. The staff acted clueless, even though they had cameras right above them, and refused to check them.When I told them that they never gave me a receipt, they replied, “If you pay in cash, we don’t give receipts.” This is illegal in Italy and a clear case of tax evasion.Disgusting, unsafe, and completely unprofessional place. I will be returning tomorrow to demand my receipt and my money back, and if they refuse, I will file a complaint with the Guardia di Finanza for tax fraud and scamming customers.DO NOT come here unless you want to be robbed in broad daylight.

It’s a great place for 35+ year old guys. There are younger guys looking for a daddy ( who isn’t). It is an older looking place but clean n locker's are spaced out nicely. This club isn’t part of the larger gay sauna network. It’s 25 euros. The staff is friendly and helpful. But you need to know some Italian. The showers are good but I did see a lot of people slip( not fall) it’s a wet place n you got sandels( hello). There is a large jacuzzi ( great). There is a wet sauna n dry one and rooms styling is Ancient Rome. I really like this place, will come back.

The sauna is super easy to get to from most of Rome. It’s just a five-minute walk from the train station. Look for the Pizzeria; Adam’s right next door.Don’t let the immediate staircase scare you. Follow them down, and you’ll be at the check-in point.If you’ve never been to this sauna before, you’ll need to buy a membership. If you plan to return, don’t lose your card. This is pretty common in Europe. Make sure to know your Euro shoe size, because they have slippers, and I highly recommend you wear them.Use the small lockers for your valuables, and the bigger lockers are for your clothes, shoes, and other stuff.You’ll get two towels; I suggest leaving the fluffy one for the end of your visit.The sauna is a bit older, but it seems to be well-maintained.There’s a small smoking area, two places to sit and relax, and then there’s the fun zone.Most of the “meeting and greeting” happens in the steam area. It’s a lively place with a lot of action and fun.There’s a corridor of rooms with lockable doors.I didn’t see any condoms or lube available in the rooms.I went on a Saturday afternoon, and it was a blast. There were all sorts of people there - younger guys, older guys, bears, cubs, and even a couple of bodybuilders.Most of the people were friendly and welcoming, and I had a great time socializing with new friends.Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun break from art galleries or ancient ruins.:)

Best bar men de ever, and manager ever. Bar body building, cute and nice! Cool to have a hot night in Rome!

Advertised as being the biggest sauna în Rome, I dare say they should advertise IT as being the sauna with the biggest problems. Smelly, slippery floors, cold water în jacuzzi,Mainly old clientele.The prices are above average.

A bit creepy decadent place with walls and rooms what scream for renovation and cleaning. Big jacuzzi but only part with bubbles, bar is nice. Many guys, but as in many saunas, mostly elderly, but few young too. Visited in Saturday night after the midnight, it was busy.

Not a fake review. Just got out of this place. Can confirm there's a disgusting smell in the steam room. Towels smelled awful too and left me feeling gross as I left. Compared to other top bathhouses in Europe, this one is overpriced and shabby at the moment. Please clean it up!! Or at least put some air freshener in the steam room...

I visited this place on a Saturday around 9pm and it was almost empty, but a staff told me that around 10:30pm it would be full and it was true. Around 11pm the place was packed, live dj, good atmosphere. The average age of the people was between 25 and 45 years. Many locals and some tourists. I stayed there until 3 am. I have to say that the property is not very good, many things need to improve, but I had a great time anyway
