Both times that I have visited Pleasuredrome, I have had a good time. It's fairly large and was fairly busy with clients there for the fun and good times. I was planning to go again at the beginning of August 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic put an end to my trip, and evidently the Pleasuredrome is closed too out of health concerns.
First impressions - the place is spotlessly clean, the four or five guys looking after the place were doing a good job. There were lots of guys using the place on Thursday lunchtime.The layout is complex but well planned with unexpected rooms and entrances, you feel like exploring. . Had a chat with the barman who was genuinely happy and contented with his pay and conditions. I liked the 2 steam rooms, hot and tepid, the pool and the chill out areas. Best of all the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.
The facilities were clean (though parts were closed for renovation and apparently have been for some time) and the staff were very attentive. I didn’t have any problems with the staff that some people have described here, although one attendant did spend a lot of time just hanging out in the cruising area and that was a bit off-putting because it felt like we were being monitored. But the guy working the bar was really friendly and chatted during breaks. The atmosphere was relaxed and respectful and there was a fair mix of guys. It was pretty quiet but that’s always a risk on a weeknight and during holidays and I understand that the management can’t guarantee a crowd at all times. Some regulars said it’s still the best sauna in town. A couple of minor criticisms: in general it was all a bit too warm (the pool was almost too warm for comfort) - most European saunas give you a bigger difference in temperature between the relaxation areas and the pool/saunas/steam rooms. It’s also inconvenient that you can’t charge drinks etc to your locker number and pay on the way out. Finally, I did have a bit of a panic when I accidentally spilled poppers on myself; I asked the staff for advice and they were a bit clueless. I guess they’re not trained to answer medical questions but it would be good if they had some basic knowledge of what to do in such situations, which can’t be that uncommon.
I've been many times, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. The staff at reception are lovely (they're not over the top and overly nice which is what I always look for). The bar tenders are always nice. It's a place you can go to disappear, become anonymous, and a place where you're the same as everyone else. Would recommend it
It was very disappointing . 1. The cabins was like little basement rooms without a locks with mattress on the floor. For the cabins with a lock u need to pay extra and for normal cabin u need pay even more 2. Saunas was very tiny just for 2-3 people in. 3. Locker room and bar system really a lot husle. 4. For the people safety shouldn't use glasses. 5. Many stuff don't do anything just scraping one chewy gum from the floors. 6. Whole place I will describe like a dump and dingy. 7. 99% of guys there was skinny smooth. 8. It was like semi-naked social club. It's a horrible plays for bears and they admirers. Won't recommend
"First time I visited, I got a proper feel of embrace and compassion, which makes a real impact and as a London-born guy, I know high standards when I see it".
A pleasant place, big Jacuzzis, the possibility of buying beer is a big plus. Cool people of all ages, a lot of young people, a lot of older men, a lot of Latinos. On the downside, uncomfortable cabins. I like to come back to this place. A few baths, open clients, group games all this makes me want to go back there.
