    Never been there but was thinking about going what age would you say is old as I'm nearly 60 and don't know if that's to old to go in

    Was thinking about going but I'm not in best of shape and nearly 60 years old was wondering if that would be to old to go into the place or is that an acceptable age ?

    Friendly and Fun

    I was extremely nervous upon visiting for the first time but the staff were friendly and polite as could be. They ran through a few things and confirmed I knew what went on inside (I did), before I went in. There was plenty of fun to be had inside. Opportunities to just sit and browse some magazines and have a drink, book a room for some private fun or just go straight to the dark room for some anonymous sex, it's all on offer here. I'll definitely be back.

    Staff rude

    If you want a good drink and a laugh go-to the eagle first the 52 sauna stop serving you when you get merry seems management likes to make executive decision not to serve. Refusing to serve customers just sends them elsewhere. until there are staff improvements I won't be back thanks

    Staff

    Staff have become very rude to certain customers . Only one shower down stair seem to be taking ages to get fixed jacuzzi button not working properly . Can't vape in doors anymore. Am certainly not smoking outside with the smoker what's the point for giving up smoking .. I have never set the alarms of in 5yrs. I keep the vape machine on low ...I will be taking my custome sale where ..

    Unhelpful and unfriendly

    Arrived at 11.59 today and make joke of having rushed through the snow to get in by 12 to get reduced price. A staff member said we were too late and would have to pay full price. While it’s only a small saving it reflects an unhelpful attitude so on principle we walked away. Went to the other sauna in Newcastle and had a great time. This makes no business sense and left us feeling unwelcome! Checked my phone after we left and it was 12.02. Disappointing!

    Geordie Christmas !

    First time here at what is an extended centre, now twice the size as before with improved changing areas; a lovely fresh and clean place, warm, inviting and well lit, the cinema area is sizable but bleak though maybe the centre of meets. Lovely hot steam room and sauna a bit squeezed but quite busy and an intriguing layout with private rooms over 3 floors. Had a great time , these Geordie boys know a good time in groups and in pairs. I found was quite depleted of juices by the end and of an all night session seemed very hot and cruisy, some very hairy and some exceptionally big men ( over 9 ) in here if that's to your taste and a range of ages all amenable to action too. Must return again

    Shy first timer

    Was my first visit I was very nervous at first. People could see I was sitting in the sauna with my head down when I heard this voice say "this your first time in hear", yea how did you guess, don't worry I was the same you will be fine, if you don't want to do anything with any one just say no thanks, and they will leave if you want. I'll show you round till you get used to things and he did and now I'm going back again for so.e fun. I love it.

    Staff here are so rude, they should all have a lesson in good customer service and good manners. I wouldn't bother going.

    Been a member since it opened and it is a great facility for gay and bisexual men of all ages. The newly built extension has really improved the jacuzzi experience with more improvements to be introduced.

    Nice facilities.... But quiet

    When I went there was hardly anybody there and one guy kept following me around and wouldn't take the hint. So I left. But the facilities were fine - clean, and the Jacuzzi was nice and hot. I guess you have to just work out when's the best time to go.

    Certainly the better sauna in town

    Excellent facilities all of which are regularly renewed and kept in a good state of repair. Showers spotless and working. Steamroom, sauna and jacuzzi in top condition and clean. Cleaning continues throughout the day. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Cafe area does really good snacks and drinks at excellent prices. Try the other one by all means, but this one is the tops in town
