The sauna has pretty good facilities and good variety of amenities. However, after I stepped on a sharp piece of debris in front of the spa, which caused my toe to bleed. I went to the staff immediately for some first aid items. The staff’s response was not the most friendly and even patronising.After I told them that my toe was cut by stepping on a sharp debris on the floor, the response was “Urgh what did you do to yourself ?” “What do you want ?”Not a single bit of sympathy or apologetic tone.I understand that was an unfortunate event and it wasn’t anyone’s fault. But it did cause an injury and an abrupt end to the night. On top of that, when asking for help, being responded with the assumption that I brought it upon myself by simply walking on the floor barefoot in a sauna is extremely disappointing.Anthony Portolesi

I still rate Sydney Sauna 10/10 for cleanliness, venue, facilities available, entertainment, friendliness of staff.All your staff are amazing, special shout out to Damon (I think its spelt) who was patient with me when I could not locate my ID (but eventually found it), friendly, upbeat and welcoming.So Matt just want to say well done on managing such a great venue!Robert Dennis

This place is extremely clean and I think if there were Australians there it would have been awesome.However, it’s an Asian venue and they were exceptionally “grabby” pushy and aggressive.It was very uncomfortable. I would not recommend nor will I pay the 40 dollar fee to go again.It’s sad because it has sooo much potential to be awesome.The staff is nice.Maykol Lozano

Beautiful place! Hottest and handsome guys😈, the mature ones are very friendly and respectful. Without asians harassing you all the time. Many rooms for your meetings and always clean, in the locker area you can change with ease and the music is very good. The colombian guy at the reception is very nice and funny, but the muscular blonde is very rude and they should sell cigars.Steve

It’s a great sauna. Compared to Bodyline it’s only the bigger steam room there that I miss.It also has a liquor licence as an added bonuseugene puta

The hot tub is the best in this place I would say.. But not recommended if you are Asian people. Staff still the same attitude and most people that I encountered are narcissistic, and zero manners. The shower isn’t adjustable, it is full of surprise, I wanted hot water it gave me very cold water, and when I wanted cold water, it gave me super hot water.sam dellarte

Not very professional venue in fact their complaints department is a joke and very disturbing !!! AND LEGAL ADVICE IS BEING CONSIDERED !!!!!I posted this complaint and not been able to attend the venue , no fault of my own and and look at the response I received!!! 😖😤👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 If a problem arises be prepared to be abused!!!Hi , on the 8th of June around 2am I came to Sydney sauna with a few of mates and when we arrived there was a sign on the cash register stating that the venue was undergoing a clean check and was closed for 5 min . So we decided to sit down and wait . We waited and waited and waited and waited and still no one came . After about 25 min we decided to go through the senser so that the worker was aware we were waiting we then tried to call the venue we tried calling out and still no one came . After about 35 min we could hear people on the inside were trapped and wanted to leave . They tried calling out calling the venue to make the phone ring and even banged on the door yet still no one came . Not only were we not able to attend the venue people couldn’t get out . After almost 40 min we decided to leave and make other plans . We are really not happy and not only did you loose 3 customers it left a really bad taste in our mouths and it spoiled our night!!! Next time we will think twice about coming .Regards samResponse I received from Sydney saunaThis is old. Management has already had a conversation with the staff member on duty. We are satisfied with his response and promise to improve.According to the camera footage, you entered at 2:08am and exited at 2:28am. That is a total of twenty minutes. If you wish your complaints to be taken seriously at the bare minimum please get the facts correct.You have been problematic in the past. You have previously been banned. Next time please do think twice about coming, we would be deeply grateful to never see you at Sydney Sauna again.Kind Regards,George KarkoulasSydney Sauna ManagementDiego López

It looks modern but I bumped into myself so many times!Staff was ok.Clean rooms.Big spaMusic is on constantly which I like but I guess some others don't.The dark area is quite small but it's fineThe bad thing about this sauna is the crowd. Completely different from others saunas. I didn't enjoy it at all. I'm not coming back here. Ever again.Jay Wysocki

I'm a slightly big around the waist. Felt embarrassed and ashamed because the provided towels are small and staff is very unfriendly. The layout is also "unfriendly". Bumped into myself a few times. Wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend it.Hong lybunnarith

I’ve been there a few times. Always left feeling disappointed.The staff is unfriendly, unwelcoming and arrogant.I’ve had a massage and the masseur is not as professional as I thought.Junwen Gong

Amazing sauna! Went for a few times during Mardi Gras and World pride and it was the busiest sauna with the hottest guys.Navi Olakerb

I mean it’s a sauna. It has all you need to have great time. The shower heads are tad aggressive and are hot. There is a cold shower in the middle - dig that a lot ( I like dry saunas)There are some issues with layout and mirrors. Bumped into myself few times. However I wasn’t there to study it’s design or architecture.Too many guys staring and standing around - doing f all. All hoping to spot the next best thing.Made me realise how smartphones have evolved sex on premise venue for worse.Kevin Scott

What an absolute scam and rip off, taking advantage of World Pride to make a quick buck. Advertised on their stairs is a $20 after 1am on Thursdays. After queuing for 20 minutes, suddenly it’s $30. I get told it’s the Mardi Gras price with not a sign in sight suggesting this and the old muscle Mary at the door had no idea of the law. Welcome to Sydney folks. Don’t waste your money.Not a great sauna anyway, especially for an international city. Try the new improved Bodyline or the even newer Bunker that has just opened and pretty flash and modern.Chris Sea

Staff have no idea about Customer service what so ever ... always under staffed 1 person on during a week night for a venue that size is not enough...its a safety issue for all ...Bassam Alqahtani

Rude receptionist and beyond made me stand at the door for 15 minutes and he saw me and was playing busy and then turned all the lights on me and told me we r closed can’t you read the sign! Mind u the sign was blocked by another signed. And I wasn’t there to get in anyway I was going to ask about timing and he literally made me feel like he wanted to fight me!! I’ve never encountered so much aggression and rudeness in my entire life. Talking about the guy was closing on Monday morning December 19th.Lachlan Mansell

I have had a few bad experiences with this sauna in the past but having returned recently, I was really well treated and the customer service is excellent. Keep up the good work.foxtailedcritter

Nice place to relax in the spa and unwind I tend to only do oral stuff and avoid other things, If anyone's to picky or it's a quite time I'll still go in just for the spa alone because it helps me relax so much.Also to anyone else reading this as someone who used to work in Body line in Brisbane back in the day treat staff well because man that's a stressful job, unsure how staff have it here but in qld I used to do the till, towels, cleaning and serving food dam exhausting for one person. So be kind to staff. Remember the human. That's all yo. UwU Samuel Zh

*RACISM & HORRIBLE CS* Visited this place on Monday when a old white guy was in reception. Extremely poor customer service to ask me not wasting his time when I tried to figure out how to use NSW checkin. Asking me to go back to my country to learn English while I have been in Sydney for 9years…. Can’t imagine how unfriendly this venue/staff will treat others!Fz scans

Over priced compared to other offerings in town. Also still require Service NSW check in and they take your photo. Won’t be going back anytime soon since it’s like a nursing home in there filled with old smelly men who don’t washAlex Bowman

Management have been caught out underpaying staff for at least a year. Poor staff morale, inept management, sham contract arrangements, under the counter sales of amyl nitrate (Schedule 4 poison) and counterfeit Sildenafil (prescription only medication). Big Ben will help you with drinks on Fri/Sat nights and he has the master key for the lockers…Dom De Sousa

An Oxford Street icon! Great venue that’s clean and well-maintained with friendly staff and plenty of amenities to explore. This has ensured it’s consistently the busiest, most popular sauna in Sydney.Dimitris Apollonas Poseidonas Venetis

Compared to the other 2 saunas I think this is the best.Benjamin Smith

The vibe/energy, friendly/helpful staff and the modern/clean facilities are all what makes this place so awesome, not to mention the stupidly sexy clientele. With some awesome new improvements to the venue, Sydney Sauna is going from strength to strength. It's all happening here. Highly recommended.Chaser

I visited the Sydney Sauna many times and I have seen 4 issues:1. There is tons of chlorine in the jacuzzi. After sitting in it for a while, the skin becomes very itchy. It's a pity as the jacuzzi is nice and big.2. Really bad choice of music in the venue. I cannot understand why the staff play a very loud, mostly techno/disco music in a place where most customers are 40+. With poor quality of the speakers, after an hour I get a headache from rumbling music. It would be so much nicer and relaxing if the music was enjoyable rather than annoying/tiring. This also affects the cinema room as the loud music overpowers the movie soundtracks.3. None of the showers have adjustable water temperature. Each shower has only one button with burning hot water. The last thing people want to do after a session in a hot jacuzzi, steam room or dry sauna is to have a burning hot shower. It's really hard to cool down. There should be either adjustable water temperature, or at lease one or two showers with cold/cool water for those who want to cool down.4. Most saunas have free cooled water dispenser. But the one here is just a tap water, often unpleasantly warm as a soup.Other than this, it's a great place to visit and I always have a good time there, however, by fixing those issues (which are quite easy to fix) it would make this place much more enjoyable. Thanks.
