Hygiene concerns
Service incident
Adult venue
Visitor reports across multiple years and independent accounts describe three distinct concerns at this venue: hygiene issues including reported mold in facility areas; sexual services appearing to operate on premises; and unequal treatment of guests, including instances where some visitors received lockers while others received trash bags under the same entry price. The venue has a 3.3 rating across 488 Google reviews. Owner responses to complaints have been consistent but the underlying patterns have not resolved over the period covered by reports.
Flag breakdown
Hygiene concerns
Visitor reports cite mold in facility areas and inadequate maintenance relative to the €30 entry price. Multiple independent accounts, spanning at least 12 months.
Service incident
Reports describe guests being given trash bags instead of lockers for storage. At least one account describes this occurring selectively — some guests on the same visit received lockers, others did not, with no stated rationale.
Adult venue
Multiple independent reviewers describe individuals inside the venue being paid for sexual services. The venue is listed on Google as a "gay sauna" and operates 24 hours. This flag is informational — not a judgment on the venue category, but context for visitors who may not expect this.
