This place is essentially a place where the older guys meet escorts. Despite management protestations to the contrary on previous reviews, it is quite clear that they know what is going on. The soliciting is quite blatant and one of the regular patrons told me that you can withdraw cash at the bar to pay the boys if you need to. I was approached by an escort before I had even left the locker room - not surprising considering they outnumber their potential clients by at least 3:1. It’s a clean and modern facility but not a particularly relaxing or fulfilling experience for anyone who hasn’t come with the expectation of paying for escort services…and not cheap at ChF44 a visit.

The facilities are nice and well kept, but the atmosphere was really disappointing. When I visited, I was approached by a couple of people who directly asked me for money, and then I realized that many of the interactions in the sauna seemed to be like that. The crowd was mostly older men, and it didn’t feel like a wellness sauna at all, more like a place for transactional encounters. Definitely not what I was expecting.

On my last visit I met a very nice and friendly companion from Columbia and we both had more fun than we looked forward to. I'll come back for sure 🪊

Why does the website still list an event for August 23, 2025, and no events for Christmas/New Year's Eve? During our visit, we were bothered by the many escorts. It would be nice if this received more attention to improve the atmosphere.

Things have gotten really bad these past few weeks. What's going on here? I'm also having a lot of trouble with guys constantly asking for money. I come for wellness, and I decide for myself who I want to talk to. Way too many guys asking for money, even if they're very handsome. It's such a shame!
