The honest summary: Frankfurt has exactly three gay saunas, all for men only. Saunawerk is the big one, Metropol-Sauna is the central one by Konstablerwache, and Clubsauna Amsterdam is a small neighbourhood sauna in Sachsenhausen. The old Kaiserbad has closed.
Saunawerk
Eschersheimer Landstraße 88, a few U-Bahn stops north of Hauptwache. Its own description lists a swimming pool with a waterfall, a whirlpool, an aroma steam room, a hammam, a Finnish sauna with automatic infusions and a bio sauna, plus a bar, an outdoor area and dark rest areas with cinemas and cabins. Guides list it as open from noon on weekdays and around the clock at weekends, with entry around €25 and a reduced rate for under-25s. Reviews praise the size and cleanliness; some mention smoking in the cruising area and a strict re-entry rule. Google rating 4.7 from about 480 reviews. Theme days are on saunawerk.de.
Metropol-Sauna
Schwedenkronenplatz, right by Konstablerwache and a couple of minutes from the Alte Gasse bars. Its listing describes more than 1,000 m² with a wellness area, a large cruising area and a bar with drinks and snacks. It says it opens daily from 12:00 to 07:00 and round the clock at weekends and before public holidays. There is a whirlpool but no pool, according to a September 2026 review, and one visitor paid €28 on a Sunday afternoon in October 2026. Themed nights such as INCÓGNITO run on some evenings, and it gets busier the later you go. Google rating 4.0.
Clubsauna Amsterdam
Waidmannstraße 31, Sachsenhausen. A small sauna in an old house, with two saunas (80 and 90 °C), a whirlpool, a steam room, rest rooms upstairs, a small garden and a bar serving food. The crowd leans older, and reviewers recommend it to bears and daddy fans. Its website lists Tuesday to Saturday 13:30-23:00 and Sunday 13:30-22:00; closed Mondays. Google rating 4.2.
Which one?
For a long afternoon with a pool, Saunawerk. For a late night straight after the bars, Metropol. For something quiet and local, Amsterdam. For cruising without the sauna, Jerome Cruising Club on Elbestraße near the main station keeps daytime hours.
Etiquette
You get a towel and a locker at the desk. Shower before the steam room, sit on your towel, and keep your phone in the locker. A no is a no, and condoms and lube are usually available at the desk. Prices and hours change, so check each sauna's website before you go.
