Staff was nice, offered to explain how it works. The hot tubs, sauna, steam room and showers where great. Clean. Lots of dark places to have fun in.seanf31

Great place, from what I could see (I chickened out and didn't make it past the gym, so I only did a workout and left, haha), I was a little uncomfortable not being able to walk around in my own clothes but I understood why of course (still I would have rathered my own clothes just until I felt more....relaxed. Will try again 🙂Genaro López Ambrosio

It's the place that every gay deserves.Huge installations, clean, with enough staff.You can feel comfortable with being yourself there.I use to go after a gay bar, and take a relaxing time in the hydro massage.A Nanna

I enjoy coming this to place. The only thing I don’t like is the absurd rude cashier by name of Ray. He tried to lie about the fact there’s no rooms available, to make me pay for large room when there were many keys still within their slots. This isn’t my first rodeo either, when I told him why are u lying when I can fully see the keys and the key I used last time coming here, so instead of hearing his lies I decided to get room instead. And speaking with others inside they all agree they were trying to be conned to getting larger room when other smaller rooms are available.Not to mention there is mold all in the steam room. All around the speakers and the corner edges of the wall, not very hygienicYH “Solo” K

You want to see what little power can get to people's heads? The cashiers here abuse what little power they have in their lives.Otherwise the facilities are state of the art.Daniel Fevreau

Workers are friendly and inviting. I enjoy this place as it's very clean and well maintained club. The fact their customers are all races, shapes, sizes and ages really makes this a diverse environment where judgements and such from others is minimal. Also their no drug policy (I know this can't be enforced 100%) really discourages irresponsible drug users who cannot control themselves when intoxicated. All of these things combined really makes the club very inviting for the majority of people including myself. Thank you Steamworks for creating a wonderful environment.Sid Schneider

Had a wonderful experience at this place, it was my first time going to a bath house and it was wonderful. Quick bag search and we were through. Although it was a bit of a maze we found our room quickly. It was a bit small but I didn't mind since I was going to be sleeping there all night. The hot tub was magical and the sauna was just right. I highly recommend this place if you want to have a nice time with a partner or a hookup.Justin R

Came here once with a friend around late/early 2015 or 2016. We both had a good time and I been meaning to go back with a friend, but I keep putting it off. I hope to go back soon!Edit to add some additional information: I liked the "industrial" setting of this place and the vending machines there too! When I get around to going back, I'll add some more info about this nice place!Liam Murphy

I visited for the first time and had a great time. I was a bit nervous because I am new to the community but the night time manager was very kind and explained the club rules and all the amenities. Can’t wait to go back!Mike S

Awesome and welcoming space/atmosphere. Front staff was very nice as it was my very first time at SW. Shout out to Mike specifically who was extremely friendly and comforting about an issue I had the same night. Didn't stay too long cause it was abit late, but definitely going to visit again, more sooner than later 🙂Ryan Abram

Very disappointing.. My partner and I went for a spa experience one everning late Aug 2022. We paid for the top room and a locker. Our room television did not work. They moved us into another room, no problem. There, the television also did not work. The employee then became rude after I brought up that since the hot tub was not running, we had no working television, what is the point in paying for a service where they just can't provide one for that night. No big deal things happen.. Most places would honor that and gladly welcome you back another time. Not how it went... not only were we not refund any of our funds, the employee made it out like we should be grateful to receive our deposit. I wasn't about to argue with him as perhaps he's doing his job and is not permitted to approve refunds so I left it at that and contacted the manager the following day. Its now been over a week and no one has reached back.. That was around 80$ Steamworks withheld from rightfully returning since they were not able to provide a service they were selling... end of story. It was sad to see that after driving over 2 hrs to not only have a nice experience but also support a local business of Toronto, we were treated so unfairly. I do not wish to bash them, I just wish they saw it from the eyes of the customer. 10 mins spend in an established business where they can't meet their own services doesn't allow them to not stand good and refund the money. They wouldn't even refund just the money for the locker as if my partner and I should part ways temporarily.Alexander Graham

It was a Wednesday at nine pm. When I went in there the attendant said they only have the deluxe room available an it was $65. I was surprised thinking they’re this full on a Wednesday. By the time I finished paying. I overheard The other attendant helping another patron telling home that there was 24 rooms available. I asked the guy why did he do that . And to give me a smaller room. He refused saying the transaction can’t be refunded. Not acknowledging his blatant lie an told me I can leave or come in. . This is a disgusting establishment with disgusting employees. Do not fall for this trickТопор Правдоматкин

One of the best adult places to explore in the city! Staff was helpful and very nice to talk to. Saunas and jacuzzi are great, nice interior and good vibes. Most of similar places usually use a pretty old content from the past decade and this is a good exception here. There are different facilities where you can spend your time: make some exercises in the gym, go to the sauna, chill at the patio and watch people walking at the Church street. Visitors are vary but I didn`t meet anyone who was too obsessive. Some of them can be really annoying trying to get into something without even asking but you should be prepared for this going into adult places (most clubs usually have some policies and I think people always should double check if a person is okay to get touched). Despite this I didn`t met anyone who was able to waste the experience and it always fun to watch the action around. Most people are don`t care about safety measures and it`s pretty sad but here is nothing you can do other than stay away. Anyway, I am wondering what`s the less busiest hours to visit the place again and enjoy the facilities firstly. There is no bar with alcohol which is a huge plus for me personally. The only thing that needs to be updated is the prices at the website cause they don`t match the prices at the reception.Conclusion:Location and vibe: 5 starsInterior and facilities: 5 stars (much better comparing similar businesses)Music and Visuals: 5 stars (finally something more-less fresh and up to date)Customer Service: 5 stars (helpful and nice people at the front desk)Crowd: 3 stars (wish to meet a bit more polite and moderate behavior)V P

Had a bizarre incident in the place ( a customer was was being repeatedly very aggressive with me and then tried to creare some nonsense after I rejected him) but was rather impressed how the management handled it. He was so kind and experienced and navigated the situation fairly. Very thankful there are people like this in our community, it's also a great place - very clean, organized and the interior is gorgeousEBou Video Production House

I’ve never had any issues when I’ve come in for a good time in the past years ago before moving abroad. This past weekend (Pride 2022) we went twice - once for a late night on Friday and the next for a mid afternoon/evening session on Sunday and both times it was well worth it!This past time we were helped by Graham/Bram? Nice guy with glasses. He was super chatty and helpful with information on the “theme” nights they try to host and the venue itself which was great since we’re “new to town”.We ended up grabbing a membership and can’t wait to check out what the crowd is like post-pride. Would love if there was a hairy chested/sweat enthusiast night … in case you’re taking suggestions 😜Enrique Gasca

Visited on late Friday afternoon. Staff was friendly and welcoming, but keep in mind weekend prices come into effect after 4PM (was not previously warned about that). Facilities alone are great and somewhat maintained, with some odd dirty spots (i.e. used condoms/wrappers on the floor). Clientele is pretty diverse in age and race (with mostly younger guys coming in later in the evening) and only got a few fun action there that evening, but pretty much everyone had more of a preference than other places I've been.Tini Adams

No bags allowed !! They have a gym but you can’t carry your gym gear with you. Whatever that rule is for, go empty handed… 🤷🏽♂️Dean Elliott

Much better than Spa Excess. Had a great time. Just wish the prices were a bit lower and had more flexibility if you don't plan on staying 8 hours. But overall great!Terry K.

There's one employee who has been there for years, short and homely, who is mean as hell. He just gives off so much negative energy. He's rude and snarky .....Alexander Graham

This place refused service to an Asian individual just because of the way they looked I’m disgusted by the way they called them disgusting names like tuna rice, dumping , and fried wonton, this place needs to be shut down.Atm Abir

The receptionist stole my bag and threw in the garbage. They did not allow me to take my bag inside so i kept it outside. They didn't even call me rather threw my bag in garbage. Later when I threatened about calling police , they showed my bag is in the garbage. Its clear harassment and theft.Alex A

Are you able to provide some rationale behindthe absurd decision to continue to requirevaccine passports given that we know thevaccinated and unvaccinated can both getthe virus ? This decision feels very exclusionary.As a next step, will you be requiring proof of anHIV negative test? and, if not, can you explainyour logic behind the difference here?Wasee Intemas

Very clean as they clean the entire facility every hour around clock, cool amenities: Jaccuzzi Hot tub, Eucalyptus steam room, Gym, playrooms, darkrooms, private rooms/lockers, and towel service; and helpful staff. Reasonably priced and hold unique events depending on the day. All the negative or low star reviews are from male Karan’s that couldn’t manage privileged arrogance or follow the rules into this amazing facility that keeps this place safe, clean, and discreet. I love going to this place once a week just to destress and relax.ghostin n.

Does not accept any bags that don't look like a grocery bag. They will destroy your plans for the night with no science behind the "bag ban". Do not go there and waste your time.Jim Little

As a member of this facility who has been coming here basically for decades and has been coming here past two weeks with the same bag on cot refused at the door today because my bag is too big it’s a 16 inch gym bag as small as they come and they won’t let me into the gym here. And this place is overwhelmingly 60+Twice my room been broken into. This place has gone downhill I don’t recommend to anyoneC Varun

A go to place for having a great great time and when you feel lonely. It is fun on Saturday nights. Gets really good crowd.Bath area and sauna area is good, relaxes the body. One can have unexpected and wonderful encounters inside, as it attracts really hot crowd. The place is fairly clean and lively. Worth every penny spent !Team - Great Job and please keep up the effort to make the ambience safe and cozy for the visitors. Thanks!One suggestion - please include some uplifting and lively progressive trance music in the playlist.Beware of People with STD’s, its a risk you take.Prince J

5 stars because you guys reopened! One point of concern is that the showers need an update, a few didn’t work and no soap dispensaries on others either. Hygiene is the most important thing so I hope you guys have a plan. Otherwise: it was busy yesterday and good crowd!Lewis Brooks

Too bad it's closed now, but when it was open, it was pretty busy. I've had business in Toronto several times over the past few years and I always make a point of stopping by Steamworks Baths. Clean place, efficient staff, good facilities.Photo compliments of Steamworks.Mark Allegro

Great place to do some work and catch up on email! Very quiet and no one around to bother you. Apparently, it's also a place where men hook up, but I didn't see anyone doing that. If they get a coffee machine, it'll make a terrific co-working space!C Varun
