High-quality private gay sauna with well-maintained gym and hot tubs. Located in heart of Toronto’s gay district, this sauna is open 24-hours a day. Oh, and it’s huge. You can get lost in here and you’re likely to find a lot of cruising action. Over the weekend it can get very busy – particularly in the early-morning hours

Negative experience: This place has just gone downhill over the years. They invade your privacy and search all bags or just don't even allow them in. I'm not even sure what they are looking for. maybe they want to make sure no one is selling drugs on site besides the ones that work for them. I just go to steam works now. It's a much more friendly comfortable experience and they won't go disturb you if your late leaving. You just might not get your $5 key deposit back if your well past checkout time.

Positive experience: The Australian guy at the desk is super cute, helpful and friendly. Some facilities could use improved maintenance. Some showers broken, not running hot water, steam room or sauna sometimes closed. In general it’s run well though. Crowd varies depending on day.

Negative experience: Longtime visitor. I had a bottle of Pure Leaf iced tea that they thought was booze. Airport customs let me drink forgotten open bottles before entering airport but Steamworks bans you if you finish a bottle of juice or tea at the entrance. I did not know rule. I did not hear their words because I am deaf and did not know what they were requesting. I did what I usually do at Airport Customs (finish my accidentally forgotten unfinished beverage before entering). Does not apply here. Ironically for trans night where I paid for 16 hours (renewed!) they let a Timmie's cup in. So they did a deaf discrimination banning me for a night, on a night that I needed to crash a room at, having travelled far. (P.S. On a previous visit, one time employee startled me awake via a shake / touch. FYI for time overruns, usual employee training at most places usually says to flash the light to wake deaf visitors as etiquette 101 due to the startle reflex of the deaf -- I just explain to them, a more forgivable mistake, no harm. But this? Banning me for a night unexpectedly and egregiously, on a long distance travel night, in a very clear act of deaf discrimination.)

Fantastic experience: Honestly, I don’t understand the tea of some guys about this place. For example, complaining that the dark room is too dark? I mean… Steamworks Toronto is huge, clean, and tidy. It’s a nice place for cruising, which means you have to be lucky too. You’ll find all sorts of guys here: from twinks to bears, tall, short, old, athletic, and chubby. The gym is well-equipped too, and the staff is very friendly. Overall, I strongly recommend coming here to have a nice time.

Negative experience: A Disappointing Steam Works Good day, I would like to share my experience regarding my visit to SteamWorks. I came here with a friend while on vacation in Toronto, following my doctor's advice as part of a comprehensive approach to combat depression. I needed to engage with people and visit places like this, even though it’s not something I usually enjoy. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a young man who seemed barely of age. He didn’t greet us and came off as somewhat arrogant. What surprised me was his thorough search of my backpack, checking every pocket, while my friend’s bag was completely ignored. (But he is canadien). This made me question whether it was due to my accent, I think, hinting at possible racism. Inside my backpack, he found a lighter which I always carry since I live in a house in Montreal where we have a faire place. I do not smoke cigarettes or use it for anything else. The young man informed me that my friend can allowed to enter, but not me . a rule I was previously unaware of. I apologized, expressing that I had no idea what was permitted and what wasn’t. His response was dismissive. Later, another staff member approached, seemingly irritated, telling us to leave. I explained that I had been warned about the rules, and if I returned tomorrow, I wouldn’t bring my backpack. However, I insisted that it contained my personal belongings, and I should be allowed to have them. I noticed no signs at the reception regarding any restrictions, which left me quite upset, and I expressed my frustrations in Russian, they didn’t understand. My friend attempted to explain the situation to them, but they remained unresponsive. Intrigued, I later checked their website and found no mention of any such rules about bringing items into the facility. I urge the management to respond to my concerns. I want to understand why your staff behaved arrogantly, showed a lack of respect, and ultimately ruined my day. This experience has exacerbated my depression, and I am still struggling to sleep even now, the morning after. I look forward to your explanation. Sergei Vinshel 5145837509 Je souhaite partager mon expérience concernant ma visite à Steam Works. Je suis venu ici avec un ami pendant mes vacances à Toronto, suivant les conseils de mon médecin dans le cadre d'une approche globale pour lutter contre la dépression. J'avais besoin d'interagir avec des gens et de fréquenter des lieux comme celui-ci, même si ce n’est pas quelque chose que j'apprécie habituellement. À notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis par un jeune homme qui semblait à peine en âge. Il ne nous a pas salués et a eu une attitude quelque peu arrogante. Ce qui m'a surpris, c'est qu'il a fouillé mon sac à dos, vérifiant chaque poche, tandis que le sac de mon ami a été complètement ignoré. Cela m'a fait me demander si cela était dû à mon statut de migrant, suggérant un possible racisme. Dans mon sac à dos, il a trouvé un briquet que je porte toujours, car je vis dans une maison à Montréal où nous avons un espace réservé pour faire des feux. Je ne fume pas de cigarettes ni n'utilise le briquet à d'autres fins. Le jeune homme m'a informé que les personnes plus âgées n'étaient pas autorisées à entrer, une règle dont je n'avais pas connaissance auparavant. Je me suis excusé, en disant que je n'avais aucune idée de ce qui était permis ou non. Sa réponse était désinvolte. Plus tard, un autre membre du personnel est venu, semblant irrité, nous disant de partir. J'ai expliqué que j'avais été prévenu des règles, et que si je revenais demain, je ne prendrais pas mon sac à dos. Cependant, j'ai insisté sur le fait qu'il contenait mes affaires personnelles et que je devrais pouvoir les avoir. Je n'ai vu aucun panneau à la réception concernant des restrictions, ce qui m'a beaucoup contrarié, et j'ai exprimé mes frustrations en russe, pensant qu'ils ne comprendraient pas.

Sergei, there is a sign on the door at eye level when you enter that your backpack may be randomly searched. This is done in the safety and interest of all patrons, not just because you are Russian. It is impossible to maintain a comprehensive list of all prohibited items, but in general, drugs or drug paraphernalia (such as a torch lighter) are never allowed. We ask you to bring only the items necessary for your short stay with us. Feel free to come back

The room was frezzing They moved rooms for me To the room right beside the vending machines Witch as you all know are cold Went into the steam rooms to warm up did not help just made things feel even worse. Left after 28min on a $38 room that was for 8 hours.

Negative experience: Last night which was labor day, I went to this place late and the reception guy was extremely rude. His face turned red when I entered as if he was very upset that he needs to operate the system again or maybe he is just racist. I saw him a couple of times doing rounds and he was rolling his eyes and making faces the entire time. It wasn't even busy for him to hate his job or the people so much. You are not letting us in for free. We don't need to be treated like this despite paying!!

Fantastic experience: No problems checking in. The main bathroom was a little gross. Loved the modern vibes of the place. Dark rooms were fun (though I think I missed one) and the hot tub is very nice, a great place to see the guys coming to and from the showers. I’m excited to come back when I’m not so nervous from my first bathhouse experience and can fully enjoy the amenities. Update: Back here again in September 2024. Actually visited a few times while staying in the village. Staff were always helpful and friendly. Adore the modern vibes of the facilities. Every morning the staff were hard at work cleaning and repairing. Only complaint would be the showers needing some work as the handles kept getting stuck at one temp or not turning off at all.

Positive experience: I've been to a number of clubs including Steamworks in Chicago. 3rd time to the Toronto location. The reviews here are pretty accurate. Busy on a Saturday afternoon/evening. The front desk staff I've dealt with, with the exception of one really nice and friendly guy who checked me out in January, aren't friendly or welcoming at all. Pretty much got a grunted "are you a member?" and that's it. I chalked that up to age- the staff was young and I am not, but it was definitely an "ughhhh" experience each time. The clientele is fun, you'll definitely find something to your liking.. The location is great, you're right near the bars. Parking in the ramp was easy and only $10. The club seems clean but I was there for 4 hours and didn't see any staff cleaning.. could be that I missed it, but there was a presumably used condom laying on the carpet by the DJ booth for at least 2 hours. The maze area and the dark room are too dark. I get anonymity but I seriously watched multiple people walk right into walls in the maze. Update..I went back on a Thursday night. The staff was actually awesome. Again, some beautiful men on a week night. I was there for about 5 hours and didn't see any cleaning going on anywhere. There were condoms and lube packets on the floor by the DJ booth that were there for hours and never picked up. You're definitely going to want to wear flip flops.

Positive experience: I visited here in my last visit and it was fun experience. This place operate pretty good. It get busy on weekends post 10-11pm so try going that time. If you are below 25 you can get discount or if you are student you get membership and less you pay. So while going keep this in mind. Also you can get out one time in entire time there. So try this and let me know how did you find it. Also this was the only one I visited so I don’t have comparison but do let me know if you know any other.

Negative experience: I am writing this review to show people what kind of business this is and the disgusting staff and management. I was banned from this business about 6 years ago because one of the staff tried to connect with me on Scruff and I was not interested. I was not rude I just said he was not my type, next time I went in I was banned, so this was permanent I had written a review about the incident and it got over 70 000 likes and numerous comments. The then manager saw this review and reached out to me to see if they could make amends sort of because that staff member was not there anymore. So I was allowed back in and made to pay a membership, we agreed to allow me back in , so I was going back to steam works off an on for about a year now, I dont go that often, this seemed to be going well and I took down the review, not I was going in last week and I am banned again, the said they found drug paraphernalia in the room I was in . This was such a shock as I do not part take in any drug use what so ever and to hear the manager say this is why i was banned, but now I see the reason for wanting me to get the membership, so they can do exactly what they did ... and the manager being extra nice to me was for me to take the initial review down, I mean like the next time I went in after the review was down i am banned again. This goes to show you the nasty and sickening attitude of the manager and staff at this place . Hope you feel some sort of achievement for what you did .... you are a pitiful human being ps dont even bother reaching outto the manager as he asks all the review writers to do, he is a waste

Akshay Gupta 1 year ago

Negative experience: I’ve mostly always had a good experience here. Yes, I’ve seen unpleasant and rude behaviour to others and to myself too. I never let it bother me, still be friendly towards the staff, and get on with enjoying the bathhouse. There’s some really nice friendly people working the front desk. However, most others are a classic case of someone being arrogant and power hungry the moment you give them a title, uniform, or some job where they gate-keep and everyone has to go through them. Especially in our community, there’s an obvious increased need for compassion, open mindedness, non judgemental first aid, and deescalating a situation. Last week, I had a syncope. As scary as it sounds and looks, it’s simply your body losing consciousness temporarily with a quick recovery. A very usual thing like an acid reflux or dehydration can cause this. I kept asking for water while everyone around me watched!!! Whoever was managing that night, told me, they are getting me water. But later I found out, they were so uninformed, scared, and panicking that the only focus was to call 911! By which time, I had gotten up, took care of myself, got dressed, and decided to walk out. The person I was asking for help, told me to stay and that they’ve called paramedics for me. I was exhausted and rather annoyed at their lack of awareness and ability to provide care and first aid. Still being polite, I said “I’m fine and thank you, but I’ll leave. Have a good night” I went back here last night. The front desk person tells me I’m not allowed. I’m banned. I said, okay, but why? What can I do? Clearly, seeing messages or notes on their screen, but didn’t want to divulge any information or have a discussion. By now, 2-3 other folks had gathered and saw the screen and gave me the same cold look whilst repeating that I’m not allowed. I said, I heard you. I get it. What I’m requesting is to help me understand the situation and tell me my options. None of them had any decision making, customer service skills, ownership, or accountability to lead and provide a solution. Gave me a card to call or email and that was all. Annoyed and disappointed yet again, but not surprised, I politely left. Went to XS and had a great night! In a nutshell, I’m not mad at what they did, it’s always HOW they decide to do it. Amongst all the options and plausible solutions available, why end up choosing an unpleasant, uninformed, and outdated one all the time?

Negative experience: My recent visit to the bathhouse after a loooong hiatus was disappointing. Last Friday night, I encountered unprofessionalism and rudeness from two staff members – a young and an older gentleman, both of whom were black. Upon entering, I approached the reception with a question about the estimated time for a room, as they usually time the customer during check-in. The younger guy impatiently told me that he didn’t know and there were no available rooms. As I was about to leave, the older guy asked what my question was. When I attempted to engage with the older gentleman, my interaction was met with rudeness and a lack of customer service etiquette. Meanwhile, the younger staff member behind the counter was engrossed in laughter in my presence. Their behavior was unprofessional, creating an unwelcoming atmosphere and a complete turn-off for the night. This left a lasting impression, and I felt uncomfortable and disrespected. As a result, my visit lasted no more than 2 minutes, as I chose to leave due to the unpleasant encounter. I don’t know if this review serves as constructive feedback as others people also complain about similar situations, but hope the management to address issues of unprofessionalism and prioritize a welcoming environment for all patrons, as it was long time ago. If some people don’t know how to maintain a professional posture in their work environment, they shouldn’t be working in customer service. They should leave their position for someone better qualified than them."

Negative experience: In the past been several times and loved it. We come from the states. I am visiting Toronto this week and looked on google and it says it was open 24/7. Also checked the oficial website to double check the prices and it says it was open all year round. We get to the front door and there or a sign saying that they are closed due to renovations. We would have loved to learn about this on the website and not wasted our time.

Negative experience: Reception was ice.(it was a recent Thursday) The only words spoken by the cashier were "have a membership?" . A tip seems to be expected but when I tip there is not even a cursory "thanks" . I know it's tiresome working with the public but this is the first person encountered and a minimum of politeness would make him more money. Perhaps better suited as a room attendant.

Fantastic experience: Never had a bad experience at any Steamworks facility, Toronto included. Got my torn up good there a couple of months back. However, I don’t understand the “no bags” policy. I like to bring toys, lube, poppers, etc and need a bag for all of that. If the goal is to keep drugs out, then the policy is failing miserably.

Fantastic experience: Die Sauna ist riesig groß, wie ein Labyrinth, man kann sich da regelrecht verlaufen. Für meinen ganz persönlichen Geschmack war die Musik zu laut und die Klimaanlage zu kalt eingestellt, aber ansonsten wird die Sauna makellos und blitzsauber gehalten, scheint in Toronto sehr beliebt zu sein. Hier kann man wirklich jeden Typ Mannes treffen, das Publikum ist sehr gemischt, auch wenn die jungen Leute definitiv in der Überzahl sind. Ich kann diese Sauna wärmstens empfehlen und wünsche mir, sowas gäbe es auch in meiner Stadt .

Fantastic experience: It’s a great place ! However, I would advice to cut down prices whenever they are doing repairs for instance ; there was a time the jacuzzi was off which is understandable and they apologized because they were repaying it , why would they charge the same amount of money ? I would such to reduce a few dollars in such scenarios. I love the place though, good hygiene, nice customer care !

Negative experience: Absurd experience. Rather than this being a friendly place for the community to meet, I experienced the worst customer experience in a long time. Having flown in overnight and having my connecting long haul flight only tonight, I thought it would be a great idea to spend the day here mixing relaxation with some fun. First surprise: They had a sign out that the wet area is closed - not exactly what you expect from a "24 hour" bath house. A friendly young guy told me that they need to clean after the weekend but the shower would be open again after an hour or so - which is totally reasonable and understandable, so I said that this would be no problem. At this point, an older, shorter, and chubbier guy took over and corrected that it would be at least 3-4 hours, for the jacuzzi maybe even 4pm in the afternoon (7 hours later). Wow! But OK, I also had planned to work out in their gym and to take a nap, so I anyhow proceeded and indicated that I would like a standard room - indicated at $34 on their website. Except that the guy quoted a price of $50! Maybe a surcharge because the room would get used more if the wet area is closed? When I still indicated that I would like to go ahead and get the room, the guy grabbed a flash light apparently to check my backpack (another sign says "bags subject to random search" - it does NOT say "no bags allowed"). Before switching it on, however, he suddenly changed his mind again and declared that actually they have a policy not to let people with a bag in at all - they neither would store it nor let me take it to my room. He actually suggested, absurdly, that I get a hotel room just to store my backpack (after having explained that I just flew in this morning and would fly out tonight)!!!!! And in all modesty, I'm an athletic, presentable and friendly guy frequently praised for my good looks and kind attitude, so this isn't a case of me being an arrogant a**hole or rude, quite to the contrary, after being offered a standard room at a price higher than advertised and being told that this "24 hour" bath house has closed its wet area, I still politely said OK. The neighborhood does seem to have a problem with homeless people but I don't think that homeless people customarily have an overseas passport and credit card to pay for a room when intending to illegally move in, nor do they tend to wear clean clothes and have a brand new backpack, so I really don't know whether the guy just had a bad day or whether he wanted to keep the premises empty for whatever reason. In any case, I wasted the over $50 cab fare and can only warn against this establishment. Both a pity and a disgusting experience!!!

Negative experience: I’m not sure who you have working behind the cash, or hire But to treat someone poorly becz they don’t want to tip you is a joke. I’m not obligated to tip anyone just for processing my check in and giving me a towel. He’s even so petty to the point he will give u a locker in the halls instead of the main area where everyone else is. And yes there were many rooms available, as I have friend who was also working that day. We come here to have fun and give you our money to support your business. Manage those you hire with class.

Fantastic experience: Great place, from what I could see (I chickened out and didn't make it past the gym, so I only did a workout and left, haha), I was a little uncomfortable not being able to walk around in my own clothes but I understood why of course (still I would have rathered my own clothes just until I felt more....relaxed. Will try again :)

Fantastic experience: It's the place that every gay deserves. Huge installations, clean, with enough staff. You can feel comfortable with being yourself there. I use to go after a gay bar, and take a relaxing time in the hydro massage.

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience at this place, it was my first time going to a bath house and it was wonderful. Quick bag search and we were through. Although it was a bit of a maze we found our room quickly. It was a bit small but I didn't mind since I was going to be sleeping there all night. The hot tub was magical and the sauna was just right. I highly recommend this place if you want to have a nice time with a partner or a hookup.

Fantastic experience: Came here once with a friend around late/early 2015 or 2016. We both had a good time and I been meaning to go back with a friend, but I keep putting it off. I hope to go back soon! Edit to add some additional information: I liked the "industrial" setting of this place and the vending machines there too! When I get around to going back, I'll add some more info about this nice place!

Fantastic experience: Awesome and welcoming space/atmosphere. Front staff was very nice as it was my very first time at SW. Shout out to Mike specifically who was extremely friendly and comforting about an issue I had the same night. Didn't stay too long cause it was abit late, but definitely going to visit again, more sooner than later :)

Ryan Abram 2 years ago

Negative experience: Very disappointing.. My partner and I went for a spa experience one everning late Aug 2022. We paid for the top room and a locker. Our room television did not work. They moved us into another room, no problem. There, the television also did not work. The employee then became rude after I brought up that since the hot tub was not running, we had no working television, what is the point in paying for a service where they just can't provide one for that night. No big deal things happen.. Most places would honor that and gladly welcome you back another time. Not how it went... not only were we not refund any of our funds, the employee made it out like we should be grateful to receive our deposit. I wasn't about to argue with him as perhaps he's doing his job and is not permitted to approve refunds so I left it at that and contacted the manager the following day. Its now been over a week and no one has reached back.. That was around 80$ Steamworks withheld from rightfully returning since they were not able to provide a service they were selling... end of story. It was sad to see that after driving over 2 hrs to not only have a nice experience but also support a local business of Toronto, we were treated so unfairly. I do not wish to bash them, I just wish they saw it from the eyes of the customer. 10 mins spend in an established business where they can't meet their own services doesn't allow them to not stand good and refund the money. They wouldn't even refund just the money for the locker as if my partner and I should part ways temporarily.

Ryan, We tried to reach out to you but were not able to make your contact at the time. You are absolutely right about the refund approval, no management was on location to understand the situation. Please email me at [email protected] and we can set up a call

Fantastic experience: One of the best adult places to explore in the city! Staff was helpful and very nice to talk to. Saunas and jacuzzi are great, nice interior and good vibes. Most of similar places usually use a pretty old content from the past decade and this is a good exception here. There are different facilities where you can spend your time: make some exercises in the gym, go to the sauna, chill at the patio and watch people walking at the Church street. Visitors are vary but I didn`t meet anyone who was too obsessive. Some of them can be really annoying trying to get into something without even asking but you should be prepared for this going into adult places (most clubs usually have some policies and I think people always should double check if a person is okay to get touched). Despite this I didn`t met anyone who was able to waste the experience and it always fun to watch the action around. Most people are don`t care about safety measures and it`s pretty sad but here is nothing you can do other than stay away. Anyway, I am wondering what`s the less busiest hours to visit the place again and enjoy the facilities firstly. There is no bar with alcohol which is a huge plus for me personally. The only thing that needs to be updated is the prices at the website cause they don`t match the prices at the reception. Conclusion: Location and vibe: 5 stars Interior and facilities: 5 stars (much better comparing similar businesses) Music and Visuals: 5 stars (finally something more-less fresh and up to date) Customer Service: 5 stars (helpful and nice people at the front desk) Crowd: 3 stars (wish to meet a bit more polite and moderate behavior)

Thank you for the review! The least busy times would be early in the morning when most guys go to work around 8am to 12pm. The non-member prices are inclusive of the security deposit, the website is up to date

Fantastic experience: I’ve never had any issues when I’ve come in for a good time in the past years ago before moving abroad. This past weekend (Pride 2022) we went twice - once for a late night on Friday and the next for a mid afternoon/evening session on Sunday and both times it was well worth it! This past time we were helped by Graham/Bram? Nice guy with glasses. He was super chatty and helpful with information on the “theme” nights they try to host and the venue itself which was great since we’re “new to town”. We ended up grabbing a membership and can’t wait to check out what the crowd is like post-pride. Would love if there was a hairy chested/sweat enthusiast night … in case you’re taking suggestions

Negative experience: The receptionist stole my bag and threw in the garbage. They did not allow me to take my bag inside so i kept it outside. They didn't even call me rather threw my bag in garbage. Later when I threatened about calling police , they showed my bag is in the garbage. Its clear harassment and theft.

Please never leave your items unattended, especially outside. Anyone that sees your bag will assume is is garbage. You are responsible for your items at all times

Jim Little 3 years ago

Negative experience: As a member of this facility who has been coming here basically for decades and has been coming here past two weeks with the same bag on cot refused at the door today because my bag is too big it’s a 16 inch gym bag as small as they come and they won’t let me into the gym here. And this place is overwhelmingly 60+ Twice my room been broken into. This place has gone downhill I don’t recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: 5 stars because you guys reopened! One point of concern is that the showers need an update, a few didn’t work and no soap dispensaries on others either. Hygiene is the most important thing so I hope you guys have a plan. Otherwise: it was busy yesterday and good crowd!

Negative experience: Great place to do some work and catch up on email! Very quiet and no one around to bother you. Apparently, it's also a place where men hook up, but I didn't see anyone doing that. If they get a coffee machine, it'll make a terrific co-working space!

Fantastic experience: A go to place for having a great great time and when you feel lonely. It is fun on Saturday nights. Gets really good crowd. Bath area and sauna area is good, relaxes the body. One can have unexpected and wonderful encounters inside, as it attracts really hot crowd. The place is fairly clean and lively. Worth every penny spent ! Team - Great Job and please keep up the effort to make the ambience safe and cozy for the visitors. Thanks! One suggestion - please include some uplifting and lively progressive trance music in the playlist. Beware of People with STD’s, its a risk you take.

Positive experience: I heard this sauna many time from my friends although I never have a chance to visited here, and finally I’ve been here, at first, the place is not really big thought jacuzzi, steam room and sauna cabinet are very comfortable place, and btw, the jacuzzi’s temperature is perfect, also a lot of hot guys, and one of place you have to stay is DJ room so much fun with other people, definitely is the best sauna in Toronto, if you are hesitating it, no need to think that, it is worth Btw you better have a room, will be more easily and conveniently.

Positive experience: The place isn't super clean (used condoms on the floor, etc.), but I didn't really mind that. The guy who I bought my entrance ticket from (looked South Asian or something) was hella rude, it made me and my friend uncomfortable at first but then we just laughed it off. It's a nice size, although it could be bigger. The jacuzzi area with the showers is probably the best part. The place had quite a few people inside from 2 to 4 but after that it was pretty empty. Met some pretty hot guys though.

Negative experience: Dead, dead, dead. And did I mention it's dead? Visited on a Thursday evening. Empty. Like, abandoned. This place was good a long, long time ago. So were rotary-dial phones and typewriters. Steamworks feels like that.

Negative experience: Waited in line only to find they only accept cash or Canadian debit. Ok, that's fine. Ran down to ATM. Ran back up. Gone, maybe 90 seconds. Went back up to window. "Did you cut the line?" "Um, I was literally just here. You told me to get cash." "Yeah, you have to get back in line." I ask the guys at the front of the line if they care, considering they'd just seen me. They're totally fine with me going ahead. But lump of clay behind the window isn't. "Go to the back of the line." I left, shrug. Their loss. It's a fine stopping over point if you want a quickie, but it's nothing like Montreal. Found the quickie I wanted five minutes later on Grindr, and it was free, and without some loser's attitude.

Fantastic experience: Great location and very clean. I’ve been to bathhouses in Germany and in Holland and to Spa Excess in Toronto. The only thing missing here is a Bar and drink charged to your locker number. I think instead of a DJ Booth a bar would be more profitable. Other than that hot guys go here and I would come again.

Negative experience: May 27, 2019 @ around 710am I tried to use the lubed vending machine and the price clearly states 1.35 cdn dollars for a 20 ml. Lube , I put my 20 dollars bill and only returned 5 Cdn coins, I went to asked the help of the sluggish sleepy unfriendly rude Filipina Front Desk as always not smiling he abruptly told me that it is 15 Cdn dollars without even checking the vending machine. I have several encounters with this ambivalent cashier I always tip him bet. 10 to 5 dollars all the time but for some reason this gay guy did not went to the school of smiles with is needed for front line workers. I don’t know if he like his job or have a hard time migrating here or just plain rude. If I’m the owner upgrade your worker or send him to CS school. PS. Be sure to lock your belongings
