    Inconceivable and to be avoided

    A sauna without soap flip flops and towel to dry yourself is only a sauna in name but not in fact moreover if you want to smoke you have to get dressed and go out and come back in Long live the saunas of Amsterdam Italy and France and Budapest that are clean and make customers comfortable

    Sehr schöne Sauna

    We absolutely cannot understand all these bad reviews here and would like to put some things into perspective. The sauna is neat, clean and well-maintained! Of course, it is not a 5-star wellness temple, but we thought it was great! The staff is also extremely friendly and very attentive to the guests, and absolutely not as described here. We were there on a Friday afternoon, when it was a little quieter. But we left at 8 p.m., and it was packed. I have already been to various other establishments in other big cities, and have seen worse.

    Nice sauna!

    Nice, clean sauna with a good bar. I love the Friday Foam parties. I wish the temperature in a wet sauna was a bit lower. They had a Jacuzzi many years ago, but unfortunately after the renovations they canceled it. IMHO, Jacuzzi would make this place even more attractive for the costumers.

    Sauna Babylonia

    Hi to all! I have traveled around Europe and been to gay saunas. I have to say Babylonia is not the higher level place. BUT, it is still the best place in Prague. Since the bigger and better sauna, Labyrint, didn't survive the COVID closedown, Babylonia is now the biggest and most alive place. I know that it doesn't have a hot tub, but beside that it has all you need. There is always some action going on in the steamroom, there are clean cabins and a nice bar. The staff is fine, don't let them get under your skin. They are sometimes little rude to foreigners but not out of spite. They just don't know much English (wtf, i know) but the crowd is usually international and the most people are doing fine there. Hygiene got better during the time. They made some changes after lockdown and it is cleaner than used to be. And I know how ugly saunas sometimes are in London or Germany. The best crowd is there for the Friday foam party. Saturday is fine too and somewhat sunday. Weekdays are bad. In comparison with European standard the action starts earlier. It is not a night place. So you better come around six pm and around 9-10 it dies out. Just don't be scared from the negative reviews, come in on the right time and you will get very decent experience. ( During the Prague pride it is a blast, if you read this in the pride week, just go man.. )

    Babylonia sauna Prague

    The sauna is not good! Sometimes there are many people, only unpleasant. The sauna is small, no jacuzzi, and when it's full of only old and ugly people it's just awful. It wasn't like that before. You can neither relax nor have fun. There are very few cabins and they are not regularly cleaned and it gets nasty very quickly...

    I have been here only once. It was Wednesday afternoon - from 3pm to 8 pm. Only 5 men in all the day. 19 euro to see very ugly men. I will not return.

    Good time at Friday foam party

    I went in Friday to the foam party and had quite a good time. There was a decent mix of good looking guys, many in 25-45 year range. The sauna itself is certainly not the largest one I’ve been to, but the wet sauna itself is a good size. Keep in mind this is cash only and flip flops are available for purchase.

    Unhappy

    Went on Thursday afternoon-night. About 7 people. No action. A friend went on Friday night and was the same. Facilities are clean. Space is ok. Not like other major saunas in capitals. Cashier rude and cheated me. Entry was 350czk. The equivalent 13.8 euro. I told him I had euro and charged me 17 euros. Flippers extra 2 euros

    Большая чистая сауна. немного. Лучше ходить по выходным. Хорошая большая сауна. Добрый персонал. Два влажных лабиринта. Чистые большие полотенца. Если кто то любит большое скопление народа, то рекомендую Лабиринт. А мне нравится спокойные сауны. Из все сауна в Праге мне понравилась сауна Давид, расположенная рядом с Лабиринта. Там собирается мой любимый коньингент- пожилые мужчины от 50недели

    I liked the David sauna most of all in Prague. Located near the Labyrinth. Visitors age 50 and older. It’s better to go from 11 to 15 any day.

    very disapointing

    Ok, clean, well laid out and a block away from our hotel. Monday evening only 8 people. Unpleasant cashier, cash only, no credit cards should be advertised on website. No Jacuzzi? Would not return. Labyrinth is a much better choice!

    Waste of time and money

    I stayed from 6-8PM Tuesday. There was only 5 persons. You can drink 5 grass of beers in Prague as the same price but the facilities are clean and good.

    Saturday 3/11/2018, 9.30pm: 8 people

    I left after going through the entire sauna and counting 8 people. 7 of them were over 50 and overweight (if you’re into that thing then great!). The guy at the door told me earlier that there were “about 50 guys inside”, I doubt 42 guys left in the hour I was there. Compared to western saunas (Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam, London, Madrid!) very poor value for money - no jacuzzi, no lounge, tiny maze, no guys and very expensive considering all that (£15!)

    Don t go on working days!

    I went last Wednesday around 9 pm and it was completely empty. There were three guys who kept asking when will be more people. Also, it is quite expensive to chill just few hours in sauna. In addition, the wet sauna was smelling strange.

    Хорошая сауна но только на выходные

    We were there on the 1st of May, sort of like a holiday but there were very few people. The sauna itself is very decent, the local people say that there are a lot of people on Friday-Saturday.

    Komplett abhängig vom Abend..

    Wir (26&31) waren Freitag zur Schaumparty und direkt einen Tag später Samstags in der Babylonia Sauna. Die Location befindet sich zentral in der Stadt und lässt sich mit einem Uber oder auch füssläufig je nach Hotel gut erreichen. Der Eintritt beträgt nach 16 Uhr 300 CZK und ist somit verglichen mit Deutschland recht günstig. Die Mitarbeiter sind zwar nicht unfreundlich aber auch nicht mit Freundlichkeit gesegnet - ist uns aber soweit nicht weiter wichtig. Man erhält am Eingang einen Schlüssel mit seinem eigenen Spind und gelangt dann durch den Barbereich in den Saunabereich. Die teilweise unterschiedlichen Bewertungen haben uns am Anfang ein wenig verunsichert, aber im Nachhinein hängt es wohl komplett vom Abend und ein wenig Glück ab. Am Freitag war die Auswahl an jungen, sexy Typen grandios - Samstags glich die Auswahl eher einem Gruselkabinett notgeiler Altherren die einen auf Schritt und Tritt verfolgt haben.. Die Getränkepreise sind für deutsche Verhältnisse sehr günstig, die Sauna grundsätzlich sauber und gepflegt. Eine Dampfsauna roch jedoch sehr unangenehm, in der anderen war es jedoch okay..

    The only person...

    The naked party sounds like fun and runs from 14:00. The venue is super clean and well kept. Unlike many saunas in Germany and Holland which have free condom dispensers throughout the sauna, they do not have condoms available at all. As well, I did not find a water fountain anywhere. After 1.5 hours of being the ONLY person in the club, 4 others arrived. It was a total waste of time.

    very clean

    Went there on beginning of December. It's weekdays so I didnt expect many people and I was right. There were about less than 10 people so far, mostly old and not attractive. On the bright side, the staff is very friendly and it's super clean and look very very modern. You can try on weekday it might be a lot better. That day I wait for about 1 hour from 17,00-18,00 when no one attractive come I change to new sauna and got lucky there. Though I went to this new suana (not gonna say name here since this is for Babylonia review) again next day and no attractive people. So I guess it does also depends on luck.

    Nice place

    Facilities are good. Good dry sauna; I loved that it has two steam rooms, both of them very cruisy. When I visited, they had a foam party: really funny. Guys there have great disposition to cruise.

    Kann man sich schenken

    War an einem Dienstag Nachmittag da. Nebst mir ca. 5 Typen im Alter von 50++. Hat eine kleine Holzsauna, zwei Dampfsaunas, eine Bar, ein paar Duschen. Alles relativ eng, wirkt altmodisch. Ich habe nach dem ersten Saunagang gleich den Rückweg angetreten. War nicht das Meine.

    Unfair review

    There always come also older people to sauna. I have visited it many times and always happened that there were young guys (I am 26 y old so be sure, when I say young guys I mean it seriously). Your review is I would say unfair. Sauna is after reconstruction and it is the best sauna for gays in Prague right now.

    Okay sauna, bit less "activity" if you are not local...

    First visit here as we read the place was renewed and indeed it's all new and done in quality materials and high standards. Very nice done. The reception and staff are friendlier than at Labyrint, more welcoming. We went on a Saturday evening, not that much crowd the whole evening (went from 5:30pm till 01:00am) and locals keep it local and within their friends to have their fun. But still you will get your share of it when you make an extra effort. :-) The crowd is mixed with mostly 35-55ish, also quite some 55-65ish and only a few 20-35ish guys. The steam rooms are very hot and standing up in them isn't something you will do very long because of the heat. Some activities there, but it seems most happens in the cabins in the basement (I guess because of the heat in the steam rooms). Too bad they don't have a jacuzzi, but they have a sitting area in between the two steam rooms and a very nice area with loungers to take a rest at the end of the very nice shower area. We always wear slippers and can only advise everyone to do so. The cleanliness is okay, they didn't really clean during our stay but all seems to be kept quite clean by visitors. We did like the sauna because of the new interior and clenliness, but the crowd and activity level was a bit disappointing. So a little plus for Labyrint on that. ;-) One improvement would be to give out a condom with the towel. They have a small glass with some condoms at the bar, but everyone is watching you when you want to grab one and I think partly because of that not everyone seems to be using them here. Safety would improve by just hannding every visitor one condom at the reception. ;-)

    Friendly place, centrally located

    I visited sauna Babylonia on a Tuesday evening, early November. I stayed in the sauna from 8 until 10 pm. After entering, a cute looking, bearded guy opened a window telling me that I had to pay 300 Kc. I received a single towel. Later, I figured out that you can get a second towel for 10 Kc. The changing room is a quite open space. Finding the showers needs some navigation, as you have to pass the bar area. From then on, it is pretty straightforward. The whole area is actually pretty nice. It still looks fresh with sufficient light in the shower and Finnish sauna areas. The sauna itself is not very large, but large enough to accommodate five or so. At the time I visited, there were 15 or so other guys aged somewhere between mid thirties and early forties, with one older bloke and one pre-thirty. After heating up in the Finnish sauna, I relaxed on one of the lounge chairs. It's a great place to watch naked bodies. There was not a lot of talking, though. Adjacent to the relax area is one of the two steam rooms. I was a bit disappointed about this one: It was dark and the benches were just to cold to sit down. This team room is actually like a small maze, which you can exit on the other side. Opposite of this steam room is the entrance of a second steam room. This one is even darker (man, why so dark?), and much hotter. Here, the benches are too hot to sit down. But sitting down is apparently not the reason to enter the room. Hardly in there, a good looking guy entered and immediately went into action. Man, that was good! After relaxing a bit in the bar (prices are reasonable: a beer costs 50 Kc), I went into the cellar were you find cabins. Lots of action there and no problems to find a nice bloke to share a cabin with. After a last time in the Finnish sauna and some cooling down, I decided to leave. I had a great time! I would definitely come back when I'm in Prague again. Good: nice atmosphere, friendly staff, modern and clean. Less good: Steam rooms are very dark. I do not understand why there are two rooms. Instead, a whirl pool would be better.

    Much better

    The place used to be really run down so it was a nice surprise to see it has been renovated. The gym was still great. The place is probably the most happening sauna in town with men of all size and shape. Best to visit during weekend.

    Nice and very clean place. Nice dry sauna - a bit small for place like that. Didn't like steam saunas... Just not my cup of coffee - too dark and no jacuzzi!!!!!! Sauna with no jacuzzi??? Price as every where else, service ok, The sexiest guy I saw there was a gay behind the bar... Shame jacuzzi is missing. Will I go there again? NO!

    Fabulously revamped

    Heard Babylonia was recently renovated, so I wanted to check it out. The facilities looked very nice, very clean and modern. Particularly liked the bar area. Oh, don't forget to check out their Foam Party on Friday and the Naked Party on Sundays.
