Sailors

Sailors is great. Relaxed and easy going, nice variety of guys. Not so many “A gays” and plenty of real men. Deducted a star because it closes so early. Even on the weekends. I’m sure even a couple of hours later and you would draw a bigger crowd.

Went to Sailor’s today and had a lovely relaxing time. I couldn’t stay for the food but I enjoyed plenty of eye candy earlier with friendly clientele. The staff was obviously attentive to the clientele, without being intrusive. Am definitely coming back , especially for Big and Cuddly Mondays.

I feel that Sailors has been poorly rated without true justification. I visited yesterday and found the place clean and well kept. It was very quiet, only a handful of clients making use of the facilities; however, that did not stop me from enjoying myself. Some previous reviewers have criticised the price of entry and I would tend to agree, but the facilities are generally good with lots of private rooms. I will certainly visit again, but hopefully on a day when more people are using the place.

This was my first visit at the sauna. The lockers was good. But the showers downstairs were freezing cold and rest of the building was extremely cold. I was not happy at all. The sauna was really small and I nearly got burnt by the hot charcoal which was right near the doorway also I hit my head on the roof as I was about to sit on the second row bench. The steam room was also small. The rest room and private rooms were really nice n big for privacy. They can do with more heating and showers. The second floor had also showers but they weren’t working. The sailors closed on the 26th April this year for maintenance but nothing seemed to change. I was extremely disappointed when I visited the place. It was really quite and not many customers there. I met a few guys they were unhappy with the place and they were expressing their feelings about the place.

Such a good place! Staff is really nice and helpful.There is a lot of place, several floors and it doesn't feel claustrophobic like other saunas! The private cabin are very spacious as well.The jacuzzi is deep and you can stand inside and have water up to your neck.I've heard that they recently started to open 24hrs during weekends.Very impressed!I went very late on a Friday and still managed to find good fun ;)

Awful place , the Brazilian on the desk is the rudest person I've ever met. Website states they close at 11pm with last entry being 10pm ..why was I asked to leave at.9.45 pm on a Thursday evening and the staff pretending they close at 10pm. Feel sorry for anyone that made the effort to go just before 10pm as you would have had a wasted journey. I wouldnt go back here if you paid me.Looking at the replies from the owner to other comments it seems he is as bad as his boyfriend/husband. So don't expect anything to change as they are two of a kind

I haven't visited this sauna for a couple of years. Not much has changed although it seems to be becoming even more dowdy (as can be seen by the gay flag on the roof). They are attempting to smarten the place up as when I was there the basement area was closed for painting.It still has the same facilities, namely a small steam room, sauna and a rather uncomfortable Jacuzzi. The reception and lounge area is quite nice and comfortable and the staff are also very pleasant. Whilst I was there lots of cleaning was taking place.The clients are of mixed ages although the majority are over 40 but there is also a nice ethnic mix. There were about 30 there during the couple of hours I was visiting on a Saturday afternoon.The first floor is divided into various private rooms and there used to be an access to the external roof-garden/smoking area which is now locked. The top floor is divided into small cubicles as well as a large darkroom and the video can also be viewed on this floor, although the seating is very uncomfortable.At £18 I consider that this is an overpriced venue bearing in mind its locality and how difficult it is to travel to the place unless you live in Central, East or South East London. They do still give concessions for the unemployed, under 25's and those with a Freedom Pass which may make it a little less expensive for those fortunates.Probably isn't worth the visit unless you live close by.

Last wk I asked the angry unpleasant s American man on desk if we cd have the cold sauna a bit hotter. For this I got a tirade of a abuse and told to sling my hook, I said if it’s cold there isn’t any point in it being open. Big mistake. I left last Monday and thanked him and he thanked me and we both said goodbye. Today I enter and he told me I’m barred for complaining and saying the whole place should be shut down, I didn’t say that but it didn’t matter.I been going for years but never again, to whoever pays the bill…he’s a liability

I went to the sauna today to relax and have fun, it turned out to be a terrible sauna, very small people, very narrow shower, the basement is dangerous because you can hit your forehead and it's dark. I generally didn't have a good time, it's a waste time I do not recommend it is not worth going there better go to the waterlooso wasteful money

Had a great time there the staff were friendly i feel that some small parts of the place needs updating and one of the showers is cold but has the red sticker for hot small things in general someone who reviewed before complained about one of the staff not having good English hes English can do with improvement but i was able to communicate with him well enough. Someone also complained on a review about the sauna not being hot enough when i went there that was true but i just found a member of staff and they sorted it out right away. I also had some of there hot chicken wings they were great, im sure with a little bit of work the place will deserve a 5 star rating!
