SweatBox Soho

I was apprehensive about this place coz I thought they'd be gym equipment everywhere and as a plus size person gyms are always intimidating. Talking about plus size I thought this place would be discriminatory but the staff was friendly and nice and that already made me feel good. The check In system and lockers is confusing but the guy who helped me was kind and patient I wish I got his name.They have a sign which says Every body is beautiful Every body is welcome. I loved that.Just to add I'm a black fem chubby gay man and I had a lot of things running in my head before going here but the place and staff was diverse so it felt comfortable.I went on a Tuesday night not so busy,

this is what a gay sauna should look like! exactly like this! excellent atmosphere, clean and constantly cleaned and disinfected premises, quality steam cabin with a labyrinth, perfect showers with a great idea of mirrors, possibility to rent private cabins, sufficient number of cabins for free, spaces in the basement suggest exactly what one expects, necessary little things available everywhere - the rest is just a matter of what a person wants and what they feel like and in the mood for.Just a few comments - there is no (or I could not find) a sauna; I would simplify the entry procedure, it is confusing for a new visitor - even if there is a monitor above the reception with a video of the sides of the procedure, one can overlook it and not know what is happening - for example, a simple picture at eye level at the reception.I would recommend mandatory TFN ;-)

Locker checkin and rules are insane and complicated. Never have I seen a bathhouse with such a convoluted system. Get a bin put something personal in it to earn a key to a locker that you then trade back for a wristband to enter the secure area and you can never access your locker again. Good grief. The sauna is big and nice, but one is broken and their event was cancelled with no notice. Good price. Lots of guys. Their towels are awful, it’s more of a wrap. Not very effective at drying.

I went there recently, gym was a very nice experience but despite paying 20 GBP I was forced not to use sauna. Why? Because the staff would insist on leaving your mobile phone and wallet in the box (under their guard) WHICH IS NOT EVEN CLOSED! When I told them that I will not leave my valuables in this conditions since I see them as not secure enough, they were still insisting that I leave my ID! I managed to finally leave only the keys to the locker in which I have left my valuables in advance (what you are not allowed to do so since in the view of the staff you will be getting mobile, wallet and other stuff from your locker to sauna with you and do some unpleasant things known only to the staff - INSANE!). I managed to leave the keys only cause I told them I want to take a quick shower and leave the premises which I did after 10 minutes after entering sauna.Additionally the plastic padlocks used with lockers (it is easy to break them) made me feeling similarly not secure about my valuables left there.I wrote the complaint to them and spoke with staff directly.They see no problem in keeping their customers' valuables in such conditions especially taking into account that as per their own House rules they bear no responsibility whatsoever for the things left with them! So in case your wallet disappears (despite all those CCTVs around) be mad only with yourselves...The only toilet available before going to sauna stinks horribly.Go there on your own risk.

Sauna has great facilities and overall the place is great for the money and facilities. What is not great however is the staff rudeness! I get the safety reasons and procedures put in place but when the staff are complaining to you about you wanting to take stuff out of your lockbox and like it's a massive hassle for them to get it for you, that's not ok. If the staff were polite and friendly I'd like this place but honestly the staff here are really super rude and it's such ashame.

After reading reviews I was comprehensive to go but I’m glad I went. Hot beautiful men everywhere, they provide lube and condoms; amenities and on point and people aren’t pushy and respectful. Staff is great and helpful specially the manager? Someone cut their foot and he was there to help him with first kit. I was there 2 days in a row and I’m so happy I went. I was a sore but happy I went. Only bad thing towels aren’t really towels but you can always get a second one for 1 euro. Definitely going back there when I’m town.

Oh god, was there on Saturday. I used swing, and many guys came to pound my hole raw. One after another!That was great experience! And left full of them white gifts in me.Fully satisfied, and will come back again!

I went at 10pm on a Saturday. I had a fantastic time. The manager, Simon, was friendly and helpful. The place was packed and I would estimate the average age of the crowd was 30. The facility I large and well laid out. I have been to many saunas around the world and SweatBox Soho is easily in the top 3 sauna experiences I’ve ever had. I hope to return soon.

I have had my good share of gay saunas so far. I have been to Berlin, Madrid, São Paulo and others.I couldn’t be more frustrated with the level of hygiene of this place. Slippers were not included, they give you only one tiny towel (you gotta pay 2pounds for a new one), the changing room is super small and tight. As I walked around looking for a bathroom I could smell a disgusting and strong smell of piss, the bathroom itself felt like entering a chemical bathroom at a nasty festival. Near the showers there was no hangers for the towel, the lighting inside the Turkish bath seemed “wrong” with no variations of dark and bright (it was all just bright).Definitely not the level I would expected of a gay sauna in London. The staff was gentle, the jacuzzi was good too, the public seemed mixed, but I couldn’t get over the smell of piss and just left. Please guys get that stinky place better cleaned and get customers some slippers included in the price, get some hangers near the showers and regulate the lighting. The management of this sauna has clearly fell in a comfort zone. Just because the location is good and there are many tourists coming to the city all the time doesn’t mean you can have them walking around a Turkish bath of “steaming piss”, with a cheap towel and no slippers.

Every month I get my membershipActually I go by my middle names sometimes my membership Is S Smith.I’ve never had a problem here, I actually like all the staff don’t think I’ve ever received any form of attitude.I often come and just sit in jacuzzi/sauna etc guys approach and as soon as I say no I get left alone no constant bothering.As for cleanliness I’ve always found it clean.I know I’ve got standards and if it wasn’t I would not go. BasicallyThe floor gets quite wet in busy periods, people are constantly showering which is hygienic, personally I wouldn’t bother wasting my time mopping it up 2 mins later it’s soaked.Smell)I’ve got a gorgeous Kensington home that I absolutely love and adore everything about!Oh and it smells gorgeous!ButSometimes the F****** smell that comes through the drains is vile and it makes me livid!You only have to walk down the street in London and you will often will smell it.Personally if it has a smell I blame the 100 drains in there and actually those random ones that have no respect or morals for anything including themselves!Amen
