welcome to queer saunas

Great management and staff, pleasant atmosphere for the most part, but recent visits have been ruined by one particular unpleasant patron who seems to be there all the time. His climbing up cubicle doors to peer inside, his desperation visits to the changing area as new patrons arrive, his spitting in mop buckets and shower areas, his touchy-feely antics with patrons, his hogging of sling rooms, cubicles and blocking of stairwells, and his loud and rather personal comments about the appearance of patrons is certainly no joking matter. Comments on other review sites actually name him, but somehow nothing seems to be done about him. The sauna is doubtlessly losing repeat business because of him. I’d really like to rate the sauna much more highly, but unfortunately until the management resolve the issue with the particular patron, it is likely - and indeed deserves - to lose support. Nobody should leave a sauna feeling uncomfortable because of another customer's behaviour, hygiene or unwanted attention.

1st time ever at a gay sauna, looked at reviews 1st which was a bit mixed. However, had a fab time, the chap on reception said it was very quiet, but as it was my 1st time I was ok with that, gave me chance to look around and not be bothered. Please was much bigger than I realised, down stairs is the locker room, lounge, steam & sauna and outside a small hot tub for 3 people. It was quiet but as I looked around and went upstairs to the playrooms, there were lots and lots, also porn on screens, very clean and tidy.

First time there and had a great time, good mixture of ages, as its a student town I thought it would be full of young guys but happily it had all ages and all friendly not clicky like some places. The place is large so plenty of room to move around, there's a pool outside on the terrace which is perfect also a smoking area unlike other places. The guys on reception were so welcoming but I couldn't persuade the smaller guy to come and join me hahaha.

Really friendly clean sauna with a nice mixed crowd. On arrival was met by a smiling man who explained the set up and if I wanted any refreshments or clean towels to just ask at the counter. There are two saunas, jacuzzi and steam room. Everything is spotlessly clean, there are staff regularly going around cleaning. Probably one of the cleanest saunas I've been to. Downstairs is the spa upstairs are a variety of different rooms and cabins with gloryholes, porn room as well as a sling. The crowd on Friday was very mixed, students, oriental guys from the ships that dock in the city and mixture of local guys, all ages and body types. Admission is £20 which is very good value for money. Look forward to visiting the next time I am in Southampton

Visited on Friday night a week ago. Place was fairly busy with a mixture of guys of all ages, race, size & shape. There also seemed to be a good mix of top and bottom guys, which is a nice change!

The place was clean, bins everywhere and not much in the way of litter outside of them.

The staff member working the bar/reception (Richard) was very friendly and on the ball, and made for pleasant company while cooling off in the bar.

I would echo another review, perhaps the gloryholes could have some guidance as to which side to be in as a sucker or suckee, or at least a light over the doors to say if they’re occupied or not so it’s easier to work out which will be most advantageous to enter!

Also, I remember a lights-out night from some time back, which was a fun night that might be fun to bring back.

The only other thing I would mention is the darkroom behind the hot-tub gets very warm. Fortunately very few people even seem to know it’s there, so not many have to put up with the heat! Just my opinion, but I’d put it back up on the top floor where all the action is, maybe putting the watersports area down behind the hot-tub instead?
