Having to pay 50p for a third towl, and for each towel thereafter

nice size sauna. The jacuzzi was a bit of an afterthought. The last time I went the cleaners left a bright light on right outside the darkroom which scared everyone off. This is because less people in darkrooms = less work for the cleaners. Management I hope that this issue is rectified as it spoiled my time there. Otherwise the last few times I have been, on a Friday or Saturday early morning, have been good fun.

friday and saturday nite/morning the vauxhall chariots is extremly busy...but nobody is working there just they r taking the £15.
1 staff- at reception
1 manager
1 staff - searching staff
2 other staff -they r checking just the lockers
Condom and lubricant boxes: so many times they were empty completely---be healthy, fight against the HIV!!!!
Toilet: no tissue, dirty
Shower:the shower next to the jacuzzi is usually closed (i think just for keep clean for the morning shift)
Cubicles: usually are enganged, if it opens dirty, full of mess
Corridor: messy, condoms, tissues
People: so many young and gorgeous guys, most of them under drugs... so the searching guy is not working well. What do you think about...?
Music: its nice, but a little bit is too loud, specially in the living room, where the people want to be rest, talk...etc.
I strongly recommend the management should go there for a little visit in the morning about 5-6 am at the weekend. Or just simply tell the staff go to work!

Positive aspects of this sauna (pros):
|
Plenty different spaces (2 sauna cabins, 2 steam rooms, jacuzzi, Video / jackoff, private rooms)
|
|
Negative aspects of this sauna (cons):
|
Looking a bit tired with mats that have seen better days
|

Large sauna with differing spaces. You can just enjoy a sauna, which are usually quiet, or take a dip in a jacuzzi or find a guy to play with in a private room. The two rooms showing videos can be good with group action or find someone to cuddle up to and have a play or a snooze.
It can be nice to spend hours there overnight. The numbers can vary from just a few guys to quite a few. There is usually a good mix of types of guys - something for everyone. I can usually find a nice hairy guy and have a good time.
I find the music intrusive and too loud for that time of night, but they are trying to keep an upbeat atmosphere pre or post clubbing. Something more downbeat or chilled would be nice. Some of the mats are looking very worn and could do with being replaced. In general it is kept clean and staff are usually on hand.

You can get a 'pass out' ticket to come back to the sauna within five hours of leaving. Useful for going to the clubs nearby!
|
|
Negative aspects of this sauna (cons):
|
Dirty private rooms, small jacuzzi, boiling hot broken showers.
|

The sauna is in a great location if you are looking for some post-party fun but sadly you won't find the horny boys that you see out clubbing there!
Both times I've visited (October 06) it has been a disappointment, the showers are terrible, they only come in one temperature - boiling hot and the spray is all over the place.
There are two steam rooms and sauna cabins
The private rooms are available for people to use when they want them at no extra cost but the problem with this is that often they are still dirty from the people who used them before you!
If the sauna staff are reading this, maybe you could give out some discount passes to sexy clubbers as they leave AREA/CRASH/FIRE etc nearby?
