Kaiserbründl is an incredible gay sauna with a stunning, relaxing atmosphere and top-notch facilities. But what truly made my visit unforgettable was Yorgos, the bartender. He’s incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about the guests. His warm energy and excellent service elevated the entire experience.I’ll definitely be visiting again!Vitality Vito

I read a lot of negative reviews here and was hesitant about going. However, this place has the highest sauna rating in Vienna, so I decided to take a chance. This was my first time visiting a gay sauna. I had been to different cruising gay clubs before, but never to a sauna. I have to say, this is a good place. Many people complained about the staff, but I didn’t see any issues. Everyone was polite, and check-in was very fast. Service at the bar was good too. The place is truly beautiful and very large. Be prepared to get lost, but that’s not a bad thing.I arrived at 8 p.m., and there were a lot of men. I was glad about that. The crowd was diverse, mostly older men, but there were plenty of younger guys too. Most of the action was in the steam sauna, for some reason, and that’s where people were gathering. I didn't notice any strange smells, as some of the reviews mentioned. The staff frequently cleaned the showers and maintained the whole space. Drink prices at the bar were very reasonable, lockers were secure, and I left my money and phone with no issues. The crowd was respectful; no one was pushy. Around 11 p.m., the crowd thinned out significantly, so I’d suggest coming earlier.Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place. I also realized something: when everyone’s naked or in towels in dim lighting, it’s harder to tell who you find attractive. On the subway ride home, I saw a guy I didn’t notice in the sauna, but fully clothed, he seemed very attractive to me. I guess clothing really does influence our sense of attraction.Valerivs Primvs

I had a grand time at the Kaiserbrundl last Sunday!! The place is iconic and should be a gay pilgrimage site. Dynamics work like any other sauna. Older clients with the odd twink like myself cruising around. People were friendly and the staff helpful. Would come back if visiting Vienna again.Aleksandar Šćepanović

Visited during my stay in Vienna, it was my first time in gay sauna, and experiance was amazing. The staff was very friendly and helped me with all my questions, and made first apperiance much more relaxed, i was there on thursday and gotta say there was a lot people, didnt expect it.Steam room was really good, there was a dark room too.Pool was a but cold, but after sauna and steam room it really cools you off.Sauna was great!!!Theres also space for relax which was quiet and good to close your eyes for a bit.Dark rooms were good, it had comfy pillow, and on TV above there was a "material ;)" as a help for going, which was good.A lot of older people too who are a bit too much especially if you are younger, but its not places fault.Other then that i had amazing experiance and when i come back to Vienna i will Def come back!!!!!!!!!!gliko glikic

A phenomenal experience. I would gladly return. The staff is kind and helpful. It is important to respect the choices of each visitor. The hygiene is acceptable, but could be better. It's best not to expect anything, and you will have the most beautiful experience of your life, just like I did.White Car

I’m a discreet bisexual from US in my mid to lower 20s. I’m visiting Vienna on vacation. I heard about gay sauna’s and did a ton of research as to which I wanted to go to, ultimately I decided on Kaiserbründl because the location was ideal to where I was staying. And let me tell you, I had just about the greatest experience I could have imaged :)! Even though I was practically the only person there speaking English, everyone was very nice (including the staff) and welcoming. The building is MASSIVE, and was very easy to navigate:)! I’ve seen some reviews about it being expensive but entry was cheap (discount for being under 25) and so was the beer! I went on a Saturday afternoon and there was tons of men of all ages. Of course there was old guys but also several young guys like me! It was truly an experience I’ll never forget and I can’t wait to go back later today, haha! As for the negative reviews I’ve read, not sure what they expected. Good luck gentlemen!Troy Huber

Many guys here seem to have had a bad experience with the staff or other clients. The place is wonderful in all departments, well, if you are not the type then you are not have a hot time anywhere, bad luck. I’m not spectacular, but polite and friendly and the crowd, the staff and the place was top class.Lance Yeun

Went on a Saturday around 6pm. The place is huge, beautiful and different from other saunas I’ve been to. It looks like you are inside a museum with all the paintings and statues on display. There is foam event every Saturday I think. My advice is to not stay there for long as my skin, my whole body got super dry the next day. But that’s where all the actions happen aside from the steam room. There are also two dry saunas with two different temps. Douche-ing is possible. I saw two WC with equipment but it’s gross with all other people’s poop.My only complaint is that the pool is cold. Why don’t they make it warm?christian

I am Austrian and my good friend from Switzerland wanted to visit the sauna once. He wanted to buy a bottle of sparkling wine (which was available according to the drinks menu) to celebrate the day. The Arab waiter, who spoke poor German, said he didn't have any. So he gave us a cheaper bottle of Prosecco. The problem was the unfriendly service and the unopened bottle was carelessly placed there with the empty glasses. So we immediately realized (my friend, who is not from Switzerland, and I both work in the catering industry) that the waiter had no idea about service. Instead, he and his colleagues preferred to play around with the music system and only play Arabic music. The service is too bad for the very high entrance fee and the extras (bathing shoes). You can see the owner's scam: cheap, untrained and not good staff to save costs. For many people, this only works once. My friend and I will not be coming again.Moey Shawash

I don’t get the negative reviews, I’ve visited the place on a Sunday, was able to get a massage and use the sauce facilities and all from 17:30 onwards!The Syrian gentleman at the counter was friendly and explained it all to me, I’ve used the facilities, left and paid for what I’ve purchased throughout.Would definitely come again.Heitor Gomes

I recently visited this sauna and was very disappointed with my experience. The website advertised student prices, but upon arrival, the attendant rudely informed me that the discount is only available to students under 26. This age restriction was not mentioned on the website, which I find misleading.When I asked why this information wasn’t clearly stated online, the attendant continued to be extremely rude. This level of customer service is unacceptable.I urge the management to update their website to accurately reflect their policies and to train their staff to treat customers with respect. My visit could have been much more pleasant if these issues were addressed.Shaul Vardi

Wow. Just WOW, and not in a good way. I'm sitting in the evening sun recovering from the couple of hours I spent here.Firstly, it must be said that the building and decor are beautiful, the place is very clean and well maintained, and the staff were friendly enough.The vibe though is like going back 40 years. Then the streets were homophobic and monotone, and gay men came to places like this, nervous and anxious, to find some relief. But in this sauna that's how it's stayed. The regulars (clearly regulars by their behavior and attitude) sit in total silence and walk grimly from one space to another. This isn't about me as a stranger feeling out of place. The whole community there is out of place. I've been to a few dozen gay saunas on three continents and never experienced anything like this. It was a total pleasure to come out again into the (mainly) tolerant and colorful streets. Only recommended if you're writing a PhD on gay spaces.Roberlin Carvalho

Horrible experience. Visiting the city for the first time, I came to the sauna to check few informations and how it works, basically get a knowledge about the space, price and time that closes. I just saw old guys getting in and out, but this is definitely not a problem fore. But I just would like to visit the place (that means use it) and also post on my blog. But a very rude and impolite receptionist called Adam (at least was the name he gave to me. He’s dark hair, Arabic traits) that didn’t speak English well started to scream with me saying that I couldn’t get in. I told him that probably he didn’t understand because I didn’t want to get in immediately but on the next day. Anyway, with this kind of service I won’t never leave my money in this place.Stroumfaki Stroumfaki

I visited the sauna three days ago, early afternoon, there were quite a few people, a huge space with many rooms, the pool was cold the water ,very beautiful classic decoration that you don't find in any other sauna,was the biggest I've ever visited, cleanliness, the staff were polite but impersonal, mainly local boys who prefer to hang out among themselves and not with any tourists, different ages, prices relatively affordable if you want to spend some time without the necessary precondition that a game will occur 27 euros go prepared with a condom not recommended if you intend to do somethingSteven Kerbrat

Very beautiful place ! I’ve never seen such a beautiful sauna in Europe. You can feel the history of the place.It’s also very big ! Lot of place to have fun and wander 😈.Men were also pretty hot. Definitely would return if I come to Wien again.Miklós Holló-Szabó

Guys! I really like this place!Firstly, the staff here are very friendly and helpful. (and hot haha)The design of the place is marvelous, not overstated, modern yet with classic foundations. It absolutely exudes an attractive aura.We've visited at various times, and each time, there have been people of different ages and shapes.The selection and pricing of drinks and food are very good. Additionally, they provide towels, safety stuffs, and different rooms (if you need 😏😉).Various saunas, relaxation areas, a pool, showers, and bathrooms are at your disposal. Plus, the place's "labyrinthine character" adds a touch of magic.I wholeheartedly recommend it if you crave a steamy atmosphere, but you'll enjoy it even if you're more reserved and just want to look around. There are always those up for some play, but if you want to delve deeper, you'll find open guys as well.Jonas Rodrigues

This place is really good! A lot of different rooms 😏It's like a labyrinth (in a good way)Sunday at night we met really nice guys!It was also a surprise met guys on Monday night.The bartender is so cute! He has a real smile!Oliver Schusdziarra

By far one of the best saunas in Europe! 25 euros to enter and there was a foam party on Saturday, many beautiful people and it is good to go between 4pm and 10:00 pm, it is open until 2:00 am 😈Andrei Baicoianu

so guys I recommend this sauna it is the number 1 in Europe I have been .and tried others in Vienna but I tell you don't go because you will pay for nothing.I would try and they are very dirty and so on..what I found in this sauna is good personal cleanliness and very nice and clean wet dry sauna. they also have a party in the shower. very nice, you won't be sorry. the rest of the saunas in Vienna. DISASTERthe best and cleanest sauna in Europe from my point of view don't go to another sauna in Vienna you will be disappointed. I paid for nothingI can't wait to go back🤗🤗❤️❤️🏳️🌈🇩🇰🇩🇰G T

I have been waiting to visit this historical sauna. Major disappointments during my two day in a row visit. 50 euros spent for nothing.Let's start with Monarch touches in the interior with gold incrustation. Old school European decor. All super clean. It's huge and you can get lost in dark rooms, but who needs that if no action is taken inside, but men keep walking round and round. No passion, just lazy men playing with their thing around and watching movies.As I said, I saw no passion. I can compare with Italian saunas and boy oh boy I have been having fun non stop in one visit. But here it was sooo slow. Maybe it's a local thing. Don't ask about roles, guys get offended and apparently most of the guys refuse to use protection.As I said the topic of being artificial and lazy can be seen at BD*M rooms, that were empty, no one in the swing room for two days in the row, no one at the gl*ry hole rooms,no enthusiasm .Men were either socializing or passively mastu*ating in the most borrong way. There were around 40-50 guys on 25 and 26h of December between 6-11PM and most of them in the age of 35-80, the other half men from Slavic countries. Not worth 50+ euros to be fair. I have to highlight that reception guy with the glasses on is very sweet and welcoming. Yet the one with tattoos and beard laughed and bullied me with the guy at the kitchen right at the reception. Very rude welcome. Saunas are ok, quiet small. I would skip the idea of sauna cr*ising in Vienna, this is the third sauna which is boring.nıco 34

the workers were not welcoming. They meet like they re gonna beat you! The prices are high. There is no lubricant. Only you can pay it for 50 cent. The area is big but old fashioned. There is a pool but useless as it is so cold.Andrzej Schmidt

Firstly I want to send many greetings to the owners and people who manage this place.You make wonderfull job! I was with my husband there and we had a really good time ! Was clean, friendly and modern. Yiu have feeling there like you were in ancient Rome Sauna...its really cool ! We were on monday after 14 o clock and we got to know many nice people and had really good time. With all resposibility I can highly recommend this place 🙂 Its worthy!🥰😈🔥🇵🇱🇩🇪Roberto Cecchelero

I simply loved this place. Last Saturday afternoon there was a foam party. It’s been captivating and intriguing! I definitely recommend this place to those who are visiting Vienna and wanna have some spicy and sparkling fun.Robert Barbora
05:57 05 Sep 23
although never expected I honestly think this is one of the best gay saunas in Europe (Berlin to east). One of the best is measured based on the sauna's facilities not the guests. There it is all up to how lucky you get.Duck Montréal

Beautiful house, like most of the places in Vienna. I have been there in a Friday evening. There was a nude party in one of the playrooms (they have plenty). Dark rooms, private cabins, a nice relaxing spot. Staff is friendly with tourists that don't speak German. I just expected a bigger steam and dry saunas, they're too small and not compatible with size of the place. I think it's complicated to have more than 20 guys in one of these saunas. Anyways, that's a good option to relax among men after a tough day.Celton M.

This should be on every gay man's bucket list. It is absolutely gorgeous, and presents more like an art gallery than a bathhouse! The entrance is quite...Martin Malik
07:09 24 May 23
I'd recommend the sauna as such. I've been through a lot of saunas in Europe, but I haven't met a bar at the entrance as unassuming a personal. as if I'm harassing the bearded gentleman who was sweetening. also had a problem serving when I ordered a bottle of champagne with a friend. next time I'd rather take my drink. But I have to say again that the bar on the floor below was cool. so I would definitely have the maverick overthink swapping personal for someone interested in the job .prices are higher but acceptable. the size of the sauna needs to be kept to make money.Nick Harrigan

OK chaps....5 star review coming up.This is without doubt the best gay sauna I've ever been to.Don't know where to start.....everything, literally everything, was perfect. Such fun.

This sauna has to be on your list of places to visit. We both loved it visited on a Saturday and Sunday. The reception you get is very welcoming and friendly. As soon as you walk in you are amazed at the Elegance of the building. The sauna is very big and more like a large gentleman's club. Very clean throughout. Sauna x 2 and a large steam room, lots of fun to be had here. Unfortunately the pool was empty but this do not spoil the visit. All ages, shapes and sizes makes for an unforgettable experience. Plenty of cabins and areas for fun. The bar area had two sexy men serving you WOW, plenty of seating here and the music is fantastic and changes with the time of day. We both decided to eat in the restaurant 😋 on both days, amazing food. You can tell we both loved this place and give it 5*****Yinan Zhou

A very unique sauna with historical decor. Very friendly staff, plus all bartenders during my visit are very muscular and hot. Entrance is a bit discrete but luckily photos in other comments helped me confirm the right door to open.Γιάννης

This is the most beautiful sauna in Europe.Oriental and charming decoration with huge rooms for relaxing and fun. You can enjoy a steam bath, a hot sauna or a delicious meal in their nice restaurant.The receptionists and the barman are really polite and you can enjoy your drinks under magical and exotic paintings.I will certainly return!!!Randy VT

I go to a sauna on every city I visit and this is by far the most fun I’ve had in one! I went on Saturday afternoon/evening and it was great. So many boys, good vibes and fun. It’s also super clean, the place is huge and the decor is wonderful.Steven Oltman

This is the first sauna I've been to in Europe where they didn't give me any discount because I'm disabled and diabetic I had to pay full price like everyone else who was there so if you're disabled don't go there because when you show your disability card They will laugh in your face and say that there is nothing for you, you are not a student or someone who can gets a discount.Sad for a city of great culture like Vienna ☹️Aidil Zuhri Bin Mustaffa Xxx

This is one of the best Sauna in the world. The receptionist was so nice and welcoming (also very hot). It was spotless and shining. Smells amazing and there was regular cleaning process when I was there. Everyone was so respectful. I had a nice evening there. Bravo! World class!Alessandro Manzato

I have been there 2 weeks ago. How can I say? Simply AMAZING!! Incredible sauna, both for being so beautiful, warm, nice structure, well furnitured, and both for having fun! Full of people on Sat and Sun, so much fun there! Congrats because for me is the best sauna in Europe so far! Hope to see you soon. Greetings from Italy!Stanis Alexanros

Let me put a good review.. as standard of sauna is really good. Quality, cleanliness, polite staff. Yes, staff is polite with all ages, hight,weight etc ..so please do not annoying them when totally drunked.Have seen such case as well.Despite all sounas like casino hence you may have fun or not. But its mostly own mood for today and nothing about provided sevice.Olivier

Such a beautiful space! I love it! Just already for the decorations it's worth to visit! I went there for the Mixed S3x-Positive Party. Good antmosphere, friendly people, lot's of partying and talking but not so much 'activity', which is not a bad thing of course, as it's optional and more intended as a party. However, I'm curious to see how it is on a regular night and which vibe that brings.John Donovan
21:34 19 Jul 22
Been in a lot of Saunas. I think this is the best in regards to premises facilities dark room etc (minus for the cold water in the mini swimming pool) However it needs a lot of ppl to make it feel live because it is huge.Dimitar Lolov

Amazingly beautiful, cosy and attended place, very polite staff members, no one cares if you don’t speak German, it’s a must visit if you are in Vienna oh and there’s a smoking areaCharlie Tsioulas

For some reason, the person at the kasse, thought it was wonderful that he only takes a taxi, and had no idea how far Wien Hbf, was from the sauna. No baby girl no, it only makes you look ignorant, not as special as in your mind.Crassouille Oreo

The place is just incredible, authentic , fairly clean and drinks are not expensive. Personnel is friendly and respectful. But most of clients are really old , … all the young guys are on Grindr nowadays , sad .Francis E.

Great location, all typical sauna facilities available along with a gym and two bars. It is extremely spacious and a lot of guys indeed visit this location compared to the other saunas I had gone to. I went the last Saturday night and had some sweet fun. Would definitely recommend taking the weekend ticket if you are there in the city, I regret not doing so.KK (KK)
11:49 09 Aug 21
I went as a solo travelling tourist after good reviews on some other sites. It certainly didn’t disappoint.The front door man and bartenders were all super friendly and talked to their customers, the sauna itself is well maintained and clean and is a maze that one gets happily lost in.It wasn’t the busiest of nights, but was still fun with lots of like minded individuals come to relax in the sauna or do other activities.When I visit Vienna again I will most certainly be coming here again!felipe niño
21:47 06 Jul 21
Went with my boyfriend together. The sauna is pretty awesome. It is gigantic and is really beautiful decorated. It is so big you get literally lost a couple of times before you can actually understand what is where 😅. We went a Tuesday so naturally we didn't expected to be that much happening. (Eventhough there were people from different ages). That didnt stoped us from having a really amaizing time together. It all started with a massage which was just AMAIZING we can only recommend Vasco was the name of the worker that did it and it was just really an amizing experience. Then we enjoyed the oder rooms pool , turkish bad, saunas, fetish room etc. Etc. Staff was super friendly. I can only imagine how the place gets on the weekends. Recommended.Rachel P.

I was here a Saturday in February and I loved it. It was my first time so I did not have any big expectations, but it was much better than I thought. The place is huge, has several saunas, play area,a bar with music and best of all a foam party! I would recommend to come by time 17-18, it gets empty by 21..Aurimas
