Pleasuredrome

We visited Pleasuredrome Sauna today and overall had a pleasant visit. The venue itself is very nice and has a really good atmosphere, with plenty of potential to make the experience even better. One thing we found a little surprising was that cabins are charged separately. Having visited many saunas over the years, this is not something we’ve personally come across before. It might perhaps work better to include the cabins in the overall price and increase the entrance fee slightly instead — for example by around £5. The wet areas at times had a noticeable smell, and the jacuzzi water did not seem quite as clean as we would have expected during our visit. The food could also be improved slightly, as the chips we ordered were soft and still a bit frozen in the middle. On a positive note, the staff were very welcoming when we arrived, and throughout the day it was clear that the team were making a genuine effort to keep the sauna clean and tidy, which we appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed parts of our visit and feel the venue has great potential. With a few small improvements, it could be an even better experience.

If your idea of a relaxing spa day includes paying a premium entry fee just to be forced into exhibitionism, welcome to Pleasuredrome under Waterloo! Let’s talk about the room situation—or lack thereof. Silly me, I assumed paying the standard admission entry would grant me access to, you know, a basic cabin to use. Absolutely not. Apparently, having four walls and a door that locks is an elite luxury here. Almost all the private rooms and "deluxe pods" require you to march back to reception and hand over extra cash on an hourly meter. If you don't pay up, your options are basically zero. So, if you happen to prefer a little privacy, you're entirely out of luck. However, if you absolutely love public encounters, audience participation, and putting on a live performance for a rotating crowd of spectators, this place is an absolute goldmine! It forces everyone out into the open cruising areas, turning the entire venue into a mandatory interactive theater. To make the vibe even more relaxing, the sheer volume of security and cameras makes you feel like you're trying to sneak contraband into a high-security prison. Between the CCTV glare and the complete monetization of basic privacy, the whole experience is just pure, unadulterated administrative chaos. Save your money. Unless you want to budget for a room rental on top of your entry fee, or you just really, really love an audience, go somewhere else!

Henriques and the Indian supervisors behave very strangely and unprofessionally towards everyone. I also spoke to three cleaners, and they told me they have had similar negative experiences with them. Another thing I noticed is that they switched off all the air conditioning near the reception area, which is unbelievable during the summer heat. It made the environment very uncomfortable. I hope the management pays more attention to what is happening there and takes appropriate action. I would love to visit again because the place is very clean, but I also hope to find supervisors and managers who treat both staff and visitors with respect and behave professionally.

All the facilities are tiny and very uncomfortable. The staff are rude and intrusive. The smell inside the steamroons is dreadful, horrid! Despite mopped all the time. Looks clean, but smells very bad. I am a customer of Pleasuredrome for amost 30 yeas, since it's very basic facilities times, in the 90's. Things changed there a lot, something I am missing from that time, is the relaxing and enjoyable atsmosphere. Nowadays it's dull and no fun.

After Mighty Hoopla, some friends and I decided to go to the sauna. We had an amazing night. The sauna was clean, they were always cleaning it. It was busy, maybe because of the festival. The guys at reception, Balint and Doug, were lovely and very friendly. They explained everything since it was our first time. 🥰 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
