I arrived around 6 pm on Monday. First time. The receptionist was super friendly and attentive. There were only a few people when I arrived, but it gradually filled up. I had a great time. I've been to saunas in other countries, and I was particularly impressed with its cleanliness. The jacuzzi wasn't working, but I didn't really need it. I also appreciated the small terrace for smoking and relaxing. It's true that the bar service could be a bit better, which would help boost sales. The prices are reasonable for a place like this. There were other staff members who were also friendly and welcoming. I recommend it; I left happy! 😀

It's been a long time since I've been there. But the times I went, the service was good, and I also met great people and had a lot of fun.

The furnishings are very outdated, cleanliness leaves much to be desired, the whirlpool is dry and very dirty... it simply needs renovation.

Is it frequented by older people? Does it have a Grand Prix?
