Very busy location, lots of men! Playrooms weren't cleaned while I was there. The biggest play space is too dark. I know some folks like it that way but it would be nice if there were an open area with some light too. Enjoyed my time here just a few small changes could meaningfully lift this place up to a nicer experience. I liked that everything was on 1 floor, kept everyone in the same space making it easier to see who is all there.

I was there on Saturday pride night, after 4 hours queue I decided to resign and go home. I believe is bad managing, because the staff took one hour (or more because they continue inside when I left) to resolve a issue with a guy, so maybe more staff or security could help. The man for entrance seems to be nice. Note if the queue turns the corner is more than 3 hours to go in. Clients were mostly Asians, Arabs and granphas as I noticed in the queue and going out the sauna. It seems not the place to meet locals. I won’t come back.

I’ve been to 8 sauna’s in major cities around the World, NZ Sauna in Amsterdam is by far the worst experience out of them all. I would struggle to give this place 4/10, the staff are not welcoming at all and have a strange attitude. There is no vibe/atmosphere in the sauna, I saw at least 6 condom wrappers laying around the place with dirty tissue on the floor. There are many health and safety issues at this place, the only positive is the nice big dry sauna. For the price they are charging I expected a lot better areas than they have, I almost asked for a refund after 10 minutes of being at the sauna. Save your entrance fee and have a beer and a meal somewhere more welcoming than this place.

Had a great time here. They keep the area very clean. There are people of all ages in different body sizes. I thought it was a welcoming environment. I felt safe. I would definitely go back.
