Traveling miles from another region and finding it closed, with a simple notice posted on the door. No information online or on the website. Shameful.

They're closed for vacation and they only write it on a sign attached to the gate...

What's shady about these memberships still in 2026? In Spain, France, Germany, UK, one pays the entrance fee and that's it.

First time here, February 2, 2026. I found it to be a well-kept place with friendly staff. The clientele is varied. It's a shame they didn't give out condoms at the door. Thanks, I'll be back.

I went on Sunday after an hour's drive to find a place that apart from being cold and dirty then what I saw, well come on it was a bad experience

The place itself isn't bad, and you can meet interesting guys, but the cleanliness is terrible. There's a lack of hygiene in the Turkish bath or downstairs in the dark area. It smells quite unpleasant, and it's so clean that I got something like the thrush I'm recovering from. You go there to feel good, and you can't get anything because there's a lack of hygiene and cleanliness. If you don't improve, I'll never set foot there again. And then there's the lack of courtesy from the shop assistants. It's more worth going to Milan, where I went a while ago. At least there's not all that dirt there, and it's cleaner. I'm really sorry about zero hygiene in Bologna. It would be enough to clean and sanitize the rooms more. That's it!

It's one of the best saunas in Italy...not very big but generally clean and with young people...
