Very nice place in a great location! Admission pays for an 8-hour stay here as opposed to only 6 hours at the other bath houses. The beds are at the perfect height, at least for me as a 5'11" male, but I can see why smaller people might not like them. You can also pay extra to get a larger room and bed. Awesome hot tub, always clean, and a great steamroom too which has a control on the outside of the door so you can adjust the temperature if it gets too hot or cool. Great dark room and two-level glory hole setup, too. Best times to come here seem to be late nights Friday and Saturday or holidays after the bars close. Always a good mix of guys here, all shapes, races and ages, and because it's not in a sketchy neighbourhood like the other bathhouse, it tends to get a better quality of clientele. Very popular with tourists and foreign students, too.
This tragic facility exists in prime Gay Village territory, amongst all that makes the Davie / English Bay area so popular. Here's the problem: the beds are really high up, and really narrow. What's the point of going after knowing that? It is crucial. Unbecoming layout where you cruise in a figure 8, always passing thru the lit up reception and TV area. Buzz kill. In their little steam room you make 'friends' more easily as it is pretty intimate. Decent hot tub. They have a very nominal workout area. No douching facility. Music is unpredictable. Staff can be nice or nasty. I live close by but have to make the trek to Steamworks for a worthwhile experience. Call me when you renovate...I'm waiting.
Very boring
I came there in a Thursday late afternoon. It was almost empty. Very boring. Not to recommend. At least the staff is friendly.
The "Classic" bath-house.
NOT too sure why peeps are always dissing this place...It is what it is people...It has survived the times and keeps on providing a clean, safe and often "HOT" time as it has for many years...Give F212 another chance if you were let down here...Cheers and keep on keepin' it up...
