Google maps directs you to the back side of the complex, and it is impossible to reach the sauna from here. Instead, go to the side near “Samy Cafe”, next to the little park and walk through the covered tunnel. The stores that used to line this tunnel are out of business, but the sauna is open at the back, in a discreet area that is well marked once you arrive. Entrance fee includes towel and sandals (know your size in European terms). When I went on Sunday, there were probably 60-70 guys there, ranging from 20s-60s in age. All types. Lots of very dark areas to play, as well as free cabins if you prefer privacy. 4.5 stars. Friendly service and good amenities. Bar has drinks only (no food). Lots of signs saying “NO SMOKING”, but still people were smoking in one area. Wish they enforced the no smoking more, or created a room for those who smoke, but otherwise a very good sauna, especially for a city of this size.

Nice big sauna with good facilities. Floor was a bit slippery in places and it would have been nice to have a space where you could rest from the laser lights and techno, they were just everywhere. Also hard to find. You have to go into the basement of the shopping center. Maybe a little sign in the street would help. Recommended

I went on a Saturday afternoon around 6pm and there seemed to be quite a few guys in there - maybe between 20-25. I had a great time. The place is massive - if it ever got busy, it would be unreal! The most commonly used areas I saw were the sauna, steam room and video room. Steam room was super dark - you literally couldn’t see your way around so had to navigate through touch alone! My one and only complaint would be that whilst I was there, there were probably a few too many tops - a broader mix would have been nicer. There were a mix of ages from what I could tell - mid twenties all the way through to late fifties. The sausages there were on average smaller than I’m used to, which was a nice change as it provided me the opportunity to try more than one sausage at the same time. I’m used to the sausage I bring with me being one of the smallest, but this time it was certainly the longest of those I came across! What a surprise!

Hard to find, no external signage, showing where to go. €20 entry, given flip flops, no jacuzzi, steam room hot & external dark, dry sauna was cold. Did complain that the sauna was cold & was informed that it was working perfectly, clearly management haven't been in saunas in Finland or Sweden. Showers were cold. Plenty of cruising areas & seating about, including a sling. Signs up stating you cannot smoke indoors, clearly this is ignored as saw several individuals smoking. Won't be returning.

This is a perfect sauna for people who have faceless profiles on Grindr; most of the rooms are so dark you can't see anyone nor anything. The price is too expensive for the limited facilities, thus attracting a more mature audience. The finnish sauna was as hot as most guys there (not very). On a Friday night there were around 10 guys.
