The steam room is available but has received mixed feedback on its quality, with some guests finding it disappointing. There is no mention of a cold plunge facility for contrast therapy. The sauna and steam room are described as calming by some members, though the overall environment is noted by others as not being relaxing.

Atmosphere

However, many guests report an unrelaxing environment, citing dirty facilities, the presence of roaches, used condoms in rooms, and a used needle. Some find the dark rooms and general vibe intimidating, especially for first-time visitors, though others state you can get used to it after a few minutes.
