“The fact that this club has been there since 1970s tells a lot!
This club is clean, safe, a place to relax and meet men in towels.
They are strict at the door with age and obesity to avoid health risks.
It's well maintained and clean compared to other bath houses in the Philippines.
There is a gym, tv room, Steam Room on the first floor. Second floor has plenty of rooms, a maze, dark rooms and smoking rooms. Third floor has more rooms and an open deck for fun.
I will definitely come back.
More power to CLUB BATH!“
“How much is the fee?“
“The last time I paid for membership it was php 250. It is an annual fee that comes with a plastic card which you can use everytime you go there. A fee of 150/300 for a locker or room, respectively is required for every visit. Weekend/holiday rates are a just little higher.“
“This place is amazing! It was the first I went there, it was very clean and chill place.“
“I went there last december 26. I enjoyed the experienfe from beginning till the end. Within an hour a guy already ask to go to the room then after 30minutes another guy. People are cool and chill in a good way.“
“Hi guys,
Does this place have a Jacuzzi?“
“Yes they have jacuzzi and sauna and steam bath.“
“No jacuzzi is available. There are only showers and a steam room that operates every after an hour starting at 6pm.“
“One of gay spot you should experience on Manila!
I prefer going on weekdays when it is quiet.
It's more fun when with less crowd.
Very well maintenance, the staff going around to check. Overall, very satisfying!“
“It is good, but it's kinda boring.“
“Club Bath PH is the best. I love how it looks, the interior design, the cleanliness, the dark rooms. But some areas are too dark for those with eyesight problems like me. Some showers need to be fixed. The steam room could use some seats/bench where customers can relax. I hope there's a mini party where men can dance and have fun. I love the men. I had several encounters with the daddies. This was my first visit, but wow, it was da best. ❤️ I CAN'T WAIT TO VISIT AGAIN. ❤️“
“CLEANLINESS 10
CROWD 10
STAFF 10
PRICE 10
HOT FUN 10000000
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING I WISH THEY HAVE, A SITTING AREA IN THE STEAM ROOM.. .“
“Just got back from club bath philippines. Had a great time there! really hot time! Rooms, gym, bathrooms, showers… all of it was very clean! Staff were friendly .
My hats off to the place ...went beyond my best expectations.
Can't wait to go back!“
“Great Club.
Good crowd. Clean and very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back again next time I visit Manila again.“
“I must say this club is still the best. It is a bit more expensive compared to the other bath houses but is definitely worth it.“
“It is really not easy to find. Got there on 29 Apr afternoon around 4, there were only about 10 guys. A new visitor has to pay the membership fee 250 P, then 300p for locker only, or 450p for a private room (which is very small). 1st-floor shower and steam room, 2nd hark rooms(not so dark), 3rd fewer darks room with a terrace. Found a guy who is very cute. So, good luck to you!“
“300 for stay 6 hour (no cabin) + 250 to become a members. 450 for cabin 4 hours. If u really have 550 pesos to waste give them to poor people in the street. Place is clean but not interesting. Underwear allowed but no short short why?? Ridiculous.“
“According to the web, Club Bath is one of the oldest Gay bathhouse in Asia. It was established in 1978 in a predominantly anti gay Catholic country. Kudos to the owners of this establishment for protecting GAY RIGHTS!
Club Bath has no gimmicks, no special promo nights, no shows and productions unlike the other bathhouses — it’s just a plain Jane bath house. The managers of Club Bath don’t even go out of their way to advertise their club, unlike the owners of the other bath houses that regularly flood the forums of Guys4Men.
They are very strict at the door because they want to secure their guests. They do not allow alcohol, drugs and loud people. They are also strict with body age and obesity in order to avoid health risks and heart attacks and protect other guests from those who have health problems.
Mobile phones are not allowed in the common areas. But you don’t have to deposit them with the staff, you are free to check your phone anytime in your locker or room. Just don’t bring them out or the staff will reprimand you when caught.
Despite its age, Club Bath is actually very well-maintained and the cleanest among the bath houses in the Metro. The walls and shelves are even adorned with homoerotic art pieces. It’s actually the most expensive bath house in Manila. But getting a room at Club Bath is actually cheaper than getting a room in a motel.
One thing I like about Club Bath is that they pipe in continuous house music from some Internet radio station. The music is actually good enough to dance to, though you won’t see anyone actually dancing since everyone is in their towels and dancing would look decidedly out of place.
Club Bath’s entrance along Valhalla St. is manned by the hired security guard. He can also help with parking if ever you’re bringing a car.
Smoking is not allowed in the air-conditioned areas, but there are two balconies on the second floor, a dark room and lanai on the third floor and the open area at the back of the ground floor for smoking.
Free biscuits/candy is available on the first floor (by the gym area) as well as free coffee and drinking water. they have a really good free fresh coffee. I asked them what coffee it was and they said its authentic native bakarako coffee from Batangas. Available snacks can be found in the display cabinet at the back of the TV area near the Internet cafe room.“
“Good review. Good coffee, I must say too. Saturdays are great.“
“Small steam room, no wifi, rude workers and nothing worthwhile.“
“You find a lot of younger guys going to this bathhouse from Mondays to Thursdays.
I noticed a lot of oldies on weekends because most of these people have their offs/rd's on these usual days.“
“This is still a decent and well-maintained place. YUP. The place may be a favorite haven for distinguished gentlemen (referred by one or 2 as oldies). But majority of them look WAY WAY BETTER for their age. EVEN BETTER THAN some guys who boast of their youth. MIND YOU, youth is NOT FOREVER. You will get older eventually. Hahaha. Siguro walang pumansin sa kanya kahit may edad na. Rejected ones are those who resort to name-calling. Full of bitterness. Anyway, you can still have fun in this establishment.“
“The place is full of oldies, but the place is clean and classy. Only the lame crowd. Then again whats the point if the place is nice and clean but no hotties to play around with.“
“I recently went to Club Bath for curiosity and its been an unforgettable experience!
I was a new member then. Still from the previous review, you need a valid ID preferably government ID. And they did not ask for ID picture. Maybe due to upgrade of their facilities, they scan or take a pic of your ID instead. The receptionist/cashier is serious, not that friendly type, as compared to other establishments. I paid 700 for the new membership, admission fee, and a private room all in.
Once you get inside, you need to leave your things on the receptionist if you have your own private room. Others can rent a locker.
You will be surprised once you get in, it has a lot of facilities such as mini gym, TV lounge, drinking area, reading area, wash area, shower area, steam area on the first floor. Very clean. I went to the steam room and to my surprise, people there are very aggressive! (if you know what i mean).
On the second floor, its a dark area where the private rooms located. There are several chairs placed unto the corridors. At first I don't know why they placed it, but then its where I think you can sit and wait for others to talk to you. You could tell what type of person he is. If you're a shy type/introvert, you just sit and wait for others to talk and get near to you. But don't expect all passerby will talk you. I think they have preferences also whether slim or muscular type, hairy or smooth, oldies or yuppies.
Private rooms are small with a small light and a bed. Good thing there's an exhaust fan. This is where you can have some intimate session and privacy with other people.
On the 3rd floor, there's a smokers area where you could have a smoking session with other people.
Overall I had a wonderful experience in this club bath and definitely will come back when I will have free time again from my hectic schedule.“
“Most of the members are quite shy, unlike in other bathhouses.“
“You must be a dear friend of the owner as most of what you said did not make sense.. younger looking guys?????? the place is full of oldies!“
“The cleanest bathhouse in Manila, but the place is small compared with other places (only a few free rooms).“
“Is it fine to bring your own condoms?“
“I'm not really fluent in Tagalog and I spoke to the guy at the reception who sounded bisaya in English. It was my first time in Manila, too. He insulted me and told me to speak in Tagalog in a sarcastic way and all of the customers/members downstairs heard him and all laughed at me. I just ignored it. The other guy who escorted me in the room was really good though. I gave them all a tip apart from the guy who acted like the owner of the place. “
“I definitely can say that Club Bath is the best in Manila.
The first floor contains the front desk area, the TV room , a nice mini-gym, the locker room, wet area having open showers and a steam room.
The second floor contains 25 rooms, a comfort room, a hidden cubicle, and a couple of balconies where you can smoke. The top floor has four more rooms, a common area leading to three cubicles - for those who didn’t avail of the rooms, and a lanai. Each room contains a safety deposit box cabinet - under the bed and a bed with a soft foam mattress -with cloth bed sheets.
One thing I like about Club Bath is that they pipe in continuous house music from some Internet radio station. I like going on Saturdays. The place gets very crowded after 8PM so i go early to make sure i get a room.“
“This place is still the best in Manila! The place is clean and well maintained. The gym equipment is OK.
A lot more younger looking guys here compared to the other bathhouses in Manila. The price I think is reasonable. If you check in in any motel, you pay a lot more.
I find the staff very helpful and friendly contrary to what the others are saying. Most of them do not speak English and this is probably the reason why they are misunderstood. They are in fact very accommodating.
I go early during weekends because the rooms get full most of the time. No free condoms and lube but it is available with very reasonable price at the counter. Free biscuits & candy is available on the first floor as well as free coffee and drinking water.
The cashier is very strict with guests checking in. All bags must be surrendered before entering. Personally i do not have issues with their rules. I think they imposed these rules to protect the guests. Thumbs up to the Management of ClubBath! Keep it up!“
“.. I had to laugh when I read this : "Strict with body age and obesity in order to avoid health risks and heart attacks and protect other guests from those who have health problems." what an utter bullsh*t.“
“Hi! I have to agree with you. Most of their staffs lack professionalism, good manners, ethics and courtesy. With the hefty amount of fees they collect, they have to ensure that good service is given to their patrons. The owner is a nice man. I bet sending letters to him should at least help or you probably see him around the premises anyway.“
“After cleaning the rooms, they just bang the doors behind! Are they really that insensitive and careless? Who do we report these disrespectful staff to then? Tsk tsk...“
“The place is good and facilities were very well maintained. However the cashier was rude.“
“I was there Saturday and Sunday. The Club was full and no more rooms available but I still had a great time.]
Club Bath never fails. I used to go on weekdays to avoid big crowds. This time I went on busy nights. The crowd is great. A lot of good looking young men. Club Bath is clean and safe. More power to Club Bath.“
“Googled this sauna and checked their website and read all about it. Booked a taxi and it took more than an hour to get there due to bad traffic. Brought a friend to accompany me as it is my first time to go to these sort of places. When we are presenting or IDs the cashier told us that they have an age limit. They don't allow men over 59 years old. My friend is over 59 years old. This is not right. In some countries this is illegal as this is discrimination. Very embarrassing too as the were lots of people trying to check in. The cashier said I need to call the manager as they don't know what is written on their website. They also said that there are some rules that are not on the website. IT was our fault that we didn't phone first. Tried to phone the manager Mr Gaddi. However, he kept dropping my calls. I asked for the assistant manager but he just kept talking to the cashier behind the wall.“
“agreed“
“I’ve been to Club Bath Philippines many times, I can definitely say that Club Bath is the best among them. Club Bath (or CB, as their patrons call it) is the most straightforward bath house there is.
Unlike Fahrenheit that doubles as a dance club, that doubles as a comedy bar during weekends, Club Bath has no gimmicks, no special promo nights, no shows and productions—it’s just a plain jane bath house. Aside from the official website, the managers of Club Bath don’t even go out of their way to advertise their club, unlike the owners of the other bath houses that regularly flood the forums of Guys4Men.
Despite its age, Club Bath is actually very well-maintained and is said to be the cleanest among the bath houses in the Metro. The furnishings and interior design don’t actually scream “old mansion.” The walls and shelves are even adorned with homoerotic art pieces (though they have noticeable reduced their number lately). You can expect then that CB is quite high-end and pricey. And, yes, it’s actually the most expensive. Looking at their rates, the initial membership fee costs 250 pesos, and each visit would set you back up to 230 pesos for a locker or up to 400 for a room. But think about it: getting a room at Club Bath is actually cheaper than getting a room in a motel, and you get to stay for as long as CB is open.
One thing I like about Club Bath is that they pipe in continuous house music from some Internet radio station. The music is actually good enough to dance to, though you won’t see anyone actually dancing since everyone is in their towels and dancing would look decidedly out of place.
Club Bath’s entrance along Valhalla St. is manned by the hired security guard. He can also help with parking if ever you’re bringing a car. Just inside the gate, you just need to go straight ahead to the end and enter the registration area. If there is already somebody else at the counter, you need to wait your turn.
Smoking is not allowed in the air-conditioned areas, but there are two balconies on the second floor, a dark room and lanai on the third floor and the open area at the back of the ground floor for that.
Free biscuits/candy is available on the first floor (by the gym area) as well as free coffee and drinking water. If you want heartier snacks, you can buy cup noodles or chips; just ask the staff at the registration area. The available snacks can be found in the display cabinet at the back of the TV area near the Internet cafe room. Speaking of Internet, there is free Wi-Fi available.“
“That merely sums it all.
Maybe they could be taught some manners.“
“I suggest they have a theme for every day, like Twinks Night, Bear Night, Daddy Night, Underwear night, Towel Night and of course, NAKED nights where towel and undies are not allowed in 2nd and 3rd flr.. definitely it will be sooo fun“
“Went there tonight.. and it was so fun.. the place is so clean and well maintained.. They clean the steam room every hour I think.. had fun with 6 guys.. the staffs are accommodating..
I would suggest to have a MOUTHWASH...“
“Their staff is unfriendly & unrespectful to regular members, frowning when you don't give the exact amount, watching carelessly at the viewing room when members behind them are watching as well, barely seeing the tv. I would suggest to go to other places where the staff are more friendly with less SENIOR members.“
“The staff are very helpful, I always enjoy coming here.“
“Dear Joe,
Were you drunk when you said that this sauna is not clean and smells cockroaches ?.
I visited for the first time this gay venue on Manila on a week day. Every thing is clean. There is a good air con and the smell is fresh. Sure it is not Babylon gay spa in Bangkok ! But it is very clean, you have coffee and candies for free.
I am not a partner of the boss but a french guy. This is like our standard in Europe for middle size town. The room have enought space to do what you are coming for... I only take a locker and was invited by a guest in his room. Asian people are generally shy but I dont think so here... As I am a (old) caucasian and lot of philipino guys touch me in the corridors.. I dont try the free rooms in the highest floor : too dark for me... There is no condoms, no tissues, no XX vidéo... You have to bring them with you... Even week days there is lot of filipino people and some caucasians inside..
I go back this night...“
“You're outta ur mind pal..
Majority of it's patrons are old enuf to be my dad, and they're not strict with obesity!
“
“First of all, this place reeks of cockroaches, literally everywhere even if you can't see them. I found the stench unbearable.
The place is in a dicey neighborhood without any signs outside. You will only be able to see the street number (2456). I'm guessing because they're trying to be discreet about their business.
There's a mandatory yearly membership of P250 (no shorter periods available) plus you're given a choice of renting a locker (P300 on weekends) or a room (P400 on weekends) so if you want to use a room to be with someone or others, you have to pay extra. The rooms are very small to what I'm used to, not for groupies or threesomes.
In addition, no condoms or lube are provided (bring your own), which is cheap and irresponsible. They keep your ID and membership card until you leave.
99.9% of this venue's clients are Filipinos. This is the Philippines so I was expecting that much but I like some diversity. If you're not into Filipinos, don't bother coming. I think I was the only foreigner that night.
I find it funny that Asians in general are too shy to approach others so usually, the only action taking place are in dark rooms or in the case of this place, the sauna. The rest of the facilities seem just ok or minimal at best, neither that bad nor good. It's not that clean or well maintained either like someone else wrote. The stench of roaches was a big turn off for me. I could smell it even when I was showering.
Someone wrote earlier that they have free coffee and biscuits but that's not true at all. As I said earlier, what they offer is just the bare minimum. They can't even afford free condoms, paper towels or toilet paper for Christ's sake.
The whole place is not very conducive to getting people to do what they came for. There aren't free rooms available, condoms, lube, XXX videos, maze, dark room, etc. They close at 3 am on the weekends and earlier during the week.
If you're interested, try coming on the weekends when there's a larger crowd but lower your expectations unless you're a local and you don't know any better.“
“I really love the old house that Club Bath is located in. According to reports, Club Bath is one of the oldest Gay bathhouse in Asia ??? Wow! It was established in 1978 in a predominantly anti gay Catholic country ? Kudos to the owners of this establishment for protecting GAY RIGHTS! Anyway, I think this is a very secure and clean place to hang out. Its always nice to be in a place with fellow gay men from around the world. Its a nice place to rest ... its a good place for short lodging needs too ... They are very strict at the door because they want to secure their guests. They do not allow alcohol, drugs and loud people. They are also strict with body age and obesity in order to avoid health risks and heart attacks and protect other guests from those who have health problems. By the way, they also have really good free fresh coffee .. I asked them what coffee it was and they said its authentic native bakarako coffee from Batangas? More Power to you guys ... I hope they also expand their services and come up with a gay friendly resort hotel for my foreign guests... I think their brand Club Bath is very classy and elegant also...“
“Been there for the first time yesterday night November 06 at around 730pm. This venue is relatively small compared to foreign saunas that I had visited. The venue is clean and well maintained with no less than a hundred guests. The wet steam room is being clean every other hour and the crowd frequent that part to have some exciting play. All types of guys can be find here but seems they're just starred at each other. You should be proactive to approach the guys you like otherwise you'll end up just roaming around. Overall I could recommend this place for their well maintained facilities and cleanliness. Just don't be shy to approach the right guy and enjoy!“
“Please please tell us how they knew you were wearing contacts??? And why would they not let you in because you are wearing contacts?“
“I visited this place the other day and it was not like the other bathhouses I've been to here in Manila.
The place is very easy to locate. It's literally the white House on Valhalla corner Harrison. Just make sure to bring a valid ID when visiting, and expect to pay a separate membership fee for first timers.
The place is small compared to other bathhouses but the ambiance is really nice. Nice decors everywhere, a gym, a reading nook, a tv area, free water and coffee. And the place feels really clean which i really liked.
Nice clean shower area. Hot Sauna opens at 8pm.
My only concern was there wasn't that many free cubicles on the upper floors. So expect to pay a little bit more if you want your own private room. Nice mix of guys, mostly daddyish, but there are young guys as well, even foreigners. It's ok to go alone. If you want to meet guys, don't be shy to strike up a conversation. Simple.
All in all, I'm definitely going back. I would recommend this place :-)“

i didn't see the infamous "long haired bisaya" LOL maybe he doesn't work there anymore, thank God.

“I went there recently and not allowed to come in because of my long hair. I've been a member before. This is very disappointing and upsetting. I came all the way from the USA.“
“The place is nice and clean but the long-haired bisaya receptionist is [rude]. Does he own the place? I would rate the place 9 out of 10 but 1 out 100 for the service. He (alone) should undergo customer service training. P.s I like the other guys apart from the receptionist.“
“This place is very discriminating. They refused to let me in just because i'm wearing contacts.They never assisted me when i'm upstairs. They do this to a lot of regular customers. If they keep on doing that i'm sure there will be a lot of dissatisfied customers that may lead to complaints and worse raids. The management or owner should do something about this.“
“The first time I went there, I was amazed on how it looks, it's quite small but it's clean... However, if you are new to the place, it will be very hard for you to find someone to talk to! Its like, they have their own groups, partner, etc. What can I advise to those who will try to go there, be with someone.“
