    Go early if you are going on weekend, cause after 2pm its a ZOO!

    This place is chaotic, dirty and loud. If you like a chill schvitz and a good spot for hanging out by the saunas, this isn't your place. Everyone gets dirty sandals.

    This place is extremely special. Perfect close to a poisonous weekend. #manday

    AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL POSSIBLE COST. I am Russian and this place is a disgrace to what's commonly known as a Russian bathhouse. THIS IS THE FILTHIEST venue I HAVE EVER VISITED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

    Great steam. A bit dirty. Not so good massages. Eccentric crowd.

    Spend 20 minutes in the Russian room, dunk in the ice pool and hit the roof deck, even (especially) in the winter when it's snowing out.

    don't know how they can call it "health club", u r lucky if you get to leave without some fungus on your feet!! Nasty. People liking this dump clearly have never been to a real spa/saunas place!

    Don't rush into the ice cold pool till you've been in a hot bath room first. Victor was great with the platke which was uber envigorating

    Laze in the baths or endure a spine-smashing massage. There isn't much more manly get-up than towel, slippers and smile. Read more

    This is not a day spa. Prepare for some heavy sweating in close, bunkerlike quarters.
