What Visitors Noted
This traditional Russian bathhouse offers two hot saunas that spa-goers describe as authentically and intensely heated, providing a deeply satisfying thermal experience. The steam room delivers potent, cyclical steam sessions for those who utilize it patiently. For contrast therapy, the venue provides several cold plunge options, including a dedicated cold plunge and a distinctive overhead chain shower that dumps cold water on guests. However, some visitors note the primary ice plunge is a small tub inside a horizontal freezer, which can feel cramped and stagnant. Feedback on the cleanliness of the sauna facilities is mixed, with some guests reporting issues. The thermal circuit is complemented by a room-temperature pool and a jacuzzi, allowing for a personalized hydrotherapy routine. The spacious, artfully designed facility features high ceilings with color-therapy chandeliers and ample, comfortable seating areas in the main hall for relaxation. The spa is family-friendly and permits guests to bring their own food and alcohol, with disposable tableware provided. Amenities include free towel and bathing suit rentals. The venue operates on a cash-only basis for payment.
