Steamworks Baths Vancouver

Bathhouse culture here is surprisingly very open and friendly. There was good amount of younger millenials, gen Z and tourists when I went at 4pm on a Saturday, so if your inexperienced, I recommend weekends. Had a great first time. The man with curly hair at the front desk was very kind and helpful. Steamworks is a more expensive brand but it provides everything you need. Cash only vending machines were same price as Shoppers products, pretty affordable. Amenities such as shower, sauna and darker areas were clean. Room rental is definitely worth it as it gives space to relax and debrief any thoughts while there are outlets to charge your phone in the standard rooms. Theres also a lot of luggage or bag rentals in Gastown if need to store your bag while visiting as the policy to bring items in is very limiting. Do your research online first and staff are great about answering questions.

I really like this place

$5 suck jobs!

Average facilities. Small hot tub, Ok wet and dry sauna. A very small maze and dark room. Incredibly uncomfortable experience - staff (fully clothed) were constantly barging into rooms, supervising patrons. Other staff were supervising doing “busy-work”. It was very intrusive and oppressive feeling. Also, the dark-skinned staff member with glasses is very rude. Other staff were friendly.

Interesting experience but enjoyable.

The best/busiest sauna out of three in Vancouver. One of the few saunas in the world that offers rooms with linen and pillow. They recently renovated and it's now cleaner and more pleasant than before COVID. Busier on Friday and Saturday nights after 8 PM. Great alternative to apps.

Customer service from the start was fantastic. The steam room and hot tub are nice and the sauna is big although on a busy night the dry sauna is useless because of the opening of the door so much. The set up is good and I had a great time. I went back 2 nights in a row

The place is clean and all the stuff and the staff is friendly yes by the part I'm at problems with they allow cameras in the basement and I've had my pictures taken couple times now and now I'm finding the people who are using those pictures or follow me on the buses sky trains so I would recommend closing this place down until then get something figured out

What is wrong with the majority of people that work here? It seems like they have a good diverse group of guys working there, but thats where all the positives stop. Seems like each guy has their own serious issue. The Brazilian guy at the checkout is always cussing as soon as guys walk in the door and keeps yelling "stop" as in dont come here cause otherwise he has to work. The asian guy with the long hair is always creeping on others and always flirting any opportunity he gets but sometimes misses the fact that he's working. The indian guy downstairs acts like hes in a marathon, walking so fast that he runs into others frequently due to his speed. The African canadian guy looks like he has never smiled or laughed in his entire life...very monotone and wont respond to a "hi" or "bye" rather just takes his hand out to grab your keys as youre exiting

I was charged for a card and a locker, tried to pay with apple pay and it didn’t go through, same with all my cards for some reason? Anyway, I went to the closest ATM I found after that. While doing that I checked the website and realized that I didn’t have to pay since it was a free locker for people 25 & under, which I had to mention to the receptionist since he acted as he didn’t know even though he had my ID on his hand twice. While getting my data on the system I asked about the student tariff that I saw on the price list, to what he interrupted me and told me to wait. After he was done with that, he was charging me for a regular user card, to what I replied asking again how does the student card worked and handling him my student ID. He was really rude and disrespectful blaming me for wasting his time when he is the one working there, is he not the one supposed to apply the discounts for the corresponding events and answering the customers questions? it was really annoying, but the place is not that bad, had some fun. Not that big of a place tho.
