Arrogant

Arrogant personnel at the entrance. For no obvious reason he was completely arrogant and told to fetch (ramasse!) my change while paying. I asked my money back and turned around. Been there several times before but this was my last try. Change your incompetent staff!

Dirty cesspool

It smells so bad! I hve no idea how you have something like this allowed. It needs to be cleaned with bleach.

Smells so bad!

This seems like an old institution that has refused to change. The concept is great but is so dirty and smelly that I had to come home and shower - ironic because it is a bathhouse. The jacuzzi is great but the water is tepid and smells so bad! I have no idea why it smells so bad!! Then you shower and there is no soap, but a big plastic container with soap. You go up to the level with steam room and sauna - the sauna is the only place I liked. The steam room doesn’t have a lot of steam and the smell!!! Omg! I really want the health dept to go in and do some cleaning with bleach. How much does it cost to put some lavender oil (ironically we are in Nice perfume capital!) They closed the third floor, there are a few cabins. The crowd can be iffy. All types, most people are just walking around.

What a friendly sauna

Great little place. Don't go looking for massive facilities, but go to enjoy time mixing with men in a friendly place with a good mix of music to sing along to. I loved it.

Was a nice place, and is open as of June 2017

My boyfriend and I were just here Wednesday, 14 June 2017. We were expecting the worst, based on the previous reviews, but it seemed clean, no odors, and there were about 10 people there when we arrived around 18:00. Everyone seemed to have left by around 21:00 so we left. There was a variety of ages: 20/30s (2 guys) to 60. Maybe it is more busy on the weekend, so we may try it again. The price was 13EUR which does not seem high, compared to what we have paid at other saunas. Negatives: there is only one video room/area to sit (besides the steam/sauna rooms) and there is one dark room, but no maze-type area.

old sauna

Aging establishment salts and badly maintained, the smells are nauseating (in cabin and near the Jacuzzi), no household during opening hours, to avoid absolutely

Covers all the essentials

Discretely situated in a prime location this sauna inhabits three floors of it's own building. Well maintained and clean, it offers the usual steam room, sauna, video room, spa pool, bar and cabins. Despite a nautical theme running through the interior design, the spatial design is a bit unimaginative and much needed space is given up to staircases. This could be a legacy of an old building. The sole staff member was polite and efficient. It is a bit anachronistic that you need to go to the bar for condoms and sachets of lube. I suggest that dispensers be conveniently placed throughout the venue. Music was blessedly muted and overall the ambience is relaxing. My visit was on a Tuesday and there are not many cities in the world where a gay sauna would be busy at that time. I'm sure that at peak times, this place would rock. I cannot agree with the reviewers that said the place is dark and/or not clean or "terrible." Whilst not on the scale of some of the great German saunas, this is a very good standard for a city the size of Nice. Recommended.

Good time

Very nice sauna. Went on a Sunday, was busy. Nice mix of guys in there. Muscled/twink/older/geek the lot. Nice size venue but VERY limited on the towels. One towel per person, got a little iffy when asked for a second towel. I would go again. Nice guys that go. Defo check it out if u like saunas. Shame its not 24 hours on the weekend, but still worth a try.

Great sauna

Go to this sauna. Its possibly the only one in Nice, but beats many in Paris or other big cities. Clean, ample and lots of action. Varied ages and types and you cannot miss finding someone suitable. Sunday afternoons best time.

Always great!

Always great! Lots of hot guys all ages. Clean! dark room, wet and dry saunas (with action), private rooms for free, etc., you'll find what you're looking for here!!! Always found great guys and had great fun here. This is the best sauna on the Riviera to have a good time and meet sexy guys. You can't go wrong here. So GO! Hottest cruising first hour after opening weekdays.

Terrible

Desde que cambiaron el personal, esta cada vez peor sobre todo en lo que respecta a la limpieza y atención, las toallas huelen mal y tienen agujeros, cuando solicitas un cambio, el muchacho que atiende se queja o te mira con mala cara, hay una lata de gaseosa vacia en el area de fumadores exactamente en el mismo lugar desde hace meses, lo que significa que jamas limpian, el agua del jacuzzi tiene tanto cloro que arden los ojos. Ayer no habian preservativos ni toallas, me dijo que debia esperar 20 minutos desnudo por una toalla. Si pides un cafe es casi como pedir un favor, el antiguo muchacho te ofrecia hasta agua. Por favor limpien!

New experiences

Thank you for your recommendation. This seems to be the right place for my first visit in such a club during my holiday in June. Can't wait!
