Les Bains-Douches

A disappointing experience. The sauna wasn't good for me. That doesn't mean it's bad for others, it's just my opinion compared to others I've visited around the world. It was empty. Hardly any guys. The entrance fee wasn't cheap. I went after Nice Pride, on Saturday, July 12th, and it was deserted. The sauna closes at 9 pm even on Pride night, which is absurd for a city like Nice, especially in the summer with all the tourists. Nevertheless, the place was clean. It has a small pool, a sauna and a hammam, and a TV room with cushions. There are also private cabins. I went with two gay friends. They were happy, but I didn't find anyone. There were a few young people and a few older people. I didn't encounter any problems with respect there. Be aware that the establishment only accepts cash, not credit cards. The staff are good, especially the bartender.

The most popular sauna in Nice. I especially recommend it on Sunday afternoons when it's very busy. A proper darkroom for playing, with plenty of cabins. Good facilities.

Tiny. Hallways, jacuzzi, shower—everything is in total darkness... but you finally understand why when you manage to see people up close... definitely avoid it

Sauna. For. Old people, avoid dirty sauna.

In short, a great sauna that I recommend! To elaborate a bit more, the entrance fee isn't very high, and despite being spread over three floors, the place isn't that large, but it has all the amenities you'd expect: reception, changing rooms, showers, a bar, and a jacuzzi on the ground floor; a hammam, sauna, and smoking room on the first floor; a mezzanine level with cabins; and a second floor with more cabins, a cinema, and a darkroom. It's an intimate, welcoming, and clean place (the darkrooms can have some unusual odors, but nothing unexpected or too unpleasant), with well-functioning facilities. As for the clientele, it attracts all types of guys, of all ages (although I rarely saw many young people, it's still quite diverse), styles, tourists or not… It's one of the few saunas of its kind in and around Nice, and it's worth it, I recommend it 👍 Also, remember to bring your flip-flops for walking around inside. The floors/stairs can be slippery, and it's more hygienic!

I'd seen the reviews and was worried about going and ending up in a sauna full of old people, but imagine my surprise! The guys were all ages (between 19 and 50 max). I met someone and we chatted; he was 19 and had a boyfriend. But let's talk about the facilities. The sauna looks tiny when you walk in, but it was a great find because there's an extra room. The hammam is very large, but there's a slightly unpleasant smell inside. The showers are very spacious, and the supervised changing rooms are fine. The pool, which also serves as a jacuzzi, is nice. The only downside is the sand and pebbles at the bottom. On the other hand, the relaxation area has lots of cabins, but they're small for my liking. It's difficult to relax as a couple. I only saw one woman (cap, sunglasses, thong) walking around with her water bottle in hand, making comments as people passed by. I couldn't find a cold shower after a nice hot sauna. The price of €15 hasn't changed. But otherwise, I really enjoyed my afternoon.

I’ve been told it’s young guys is this true or just trying to put me off babahab

The welcome is appalling for newcomers, but charming for the twenty or so regulars; it's all about who you know. It's frequented by "princesses" of all ages who don't even know how to respond to a simple hello. The hygiene of the premises needs improvement, and there are nauseating smells. This sauna is absolutely to be avoided.

A superb experience! It was my first time, and I received a very warm welcome from the staff who really made me want to come in. The jacuzzi was still working; it's a shame the place isn't bigger. A lovely little bar with people who don't judge you. I'll definitely go back with pleasure. All the best!

The staff are very friendly, especially Lorenzo, who is welcoming, open-minded, and fantastic. The prices are affordable and the facilities are well-appointed. This place is a must-visit for any man who wants to have a good time in a respectful manner.
