Phoenix Sauna Cologne

Amazing sauna, modern, clean and huge. Excellent place, visited twice in evenings. The staff were all friendly and helpful. They have a great pool/jacuzzi, 2 cinema rooms, several dark mazes areas with glory holes, large number of cubicles for private play. A huge steam room/maze (it was too dark and hot on my first visit but on Thursday night they made it cooler and filled with foam which was great and saw lots of action. Upstairs there are 3 dry saunas, bar and large outdoor terrace seating area plus massage rooms and quiet relax space. Both nights had a mix of guys - age and shape etc. An excellent sauna and I will definitely come back when next in Germany.

I came here two nights in a row. The first night, I entered with my partner without any issue. The second night, my partner entered 15 minutes before me with no questions asked — and at the same door, the same night, I was told there was a “guest list” and that I wasn’t on it. The difference between us: he’s white, I’m brown. I can’t know what was going through doorman’s mind that night, but the inconsistency speaks for itself: same venue, same group, same night, different treatment. “Guest list” is a convenient excuse because it can’t be verified on the spot — and it’s unfortunately one of the most documented pretexts used to filter entry by appearance at club doors. I’m writing this because this space presents itself as part of the LGBT community, and to me that comes with an extra responsibility: being inclusive inside also means being inclusive at the door, with all bodies and all skin colors. Being gay doesn’t erase being racist. If the atmosphere inside is open but the door filters by skin color, the message being sent is contradictory and exclusionary. I’m sharing this so other racialized people know what they might encounter here, and so the venue — owners, management, and security — understand that this kind of practice doesn’t go unnoticed.

One of the most impressive saunas I have been. The facility might even be better than broiler in Berlin. The sauna and maze are huge. The steam room is a bit on the smaller side. Went on a weekday evening, and unfortunately, not a lot of people present. Staff is friendly and spoke English. Would visit again on a weekend if I were to come back to Cologne.

Was there nearly a decade ago. Loved it. Hottest guys ever. Just love German guys. Everything is big in them... :)

It was my first time visiting on a Thursday night, and I was warmly welcomed by all the staff. Everyone had a friendly smile, and the team was both kind and charming. The venue itself is spacious, with plenty of areas to explore, and it had a great atmosphere with nice people coming and going. I truly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be coming back! 10 stars to your staff! ❤️❤️😽
