Sauna Octopus

Visited twice - Wednesday 7/1/26 after 9pm not super busy but there was some nice fellas there. On way out we asked member of staff what is the busy time on Thursday 8/1/26. He said 3pm is good time. I have to say it was a lot of fun on second visit. Clean premises. Only small negative - BYO Lube, no lube dispenser

Very nice, reasonably clean, a nice group of generally older men; but a fair sprinkling of younger who like older. Very convenient location near Tibunal Metro. The pool is very nice and quite sociable; nice conversations. The bar is also very nice and friendly. This was my first ever experience of a sauna; but I went back a couple of times. The crowd was a bit hit or miss; sometimes on and sometimes not. It seemed best on a weeknight a couple of hours before the start of Spanish dinner hour. It seems people stop off after work, but before heading off to dinner and the rest of the evening.

It's the second time that I come on a Friday night after midnight, it says on Google that it-s open 24 hours Fri-Sun, but the sauna is closed. What"s happening? Is it a type of sauna that opens only a couple times a year?

Sauna close to Tribunal metro station. Simple 3 min walk to the front door from there. Look for the blue mural. You buy your ticket from the machine on the left as you enter. It takes cash and cards. Take your ticket from the machine and give it to the guy behind the window. They will ask your shoe size for flip flops. Lear your euro size in Spanish. I visited on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy. Lots of older guys and some bears. There were a few younger, muscular guys but my observation was they were rude, entitled and appeared to be only interested in those who appeared to be prepared to share cash, but I could be a wrong impression. Having watched one guy hit another instead of a polite no however leaves me with doubts. My partner purchased a massage. For over 40 min he was told “just another 5 min” while they tried to get the masseur in. They were not going to give a refund until he insisted. There are 2 dark rooms where lots of the action happens. The steam room is another focal point with better lighting. Showers are hot as is the spa pool. There are rooms upstairs and a bar. This place can be hit or miss. If you like bigger guys over 60, I can recommend Sunday afternoon. This is an older sauna. It’s obviously been enjoyed for many years.

Visited Madrid twice after a long flight. To me, it's the easiest and best way to relax. Clean facilities and a good crowd of mature people. Very nice, no attitude. And it’s your choice. Relaxation is only an extra benefit. A good experience. Welcome to Madrid.
