Steam Complex Sauna leeds

I visited this sauna last Saturday on a supposed Bear’s Day, although there were very few ‘Bears’ in attendance. Basic food however was supplied of the high calorific content that Bears seem to insist on! This is a reincarnation of the old ‘Steam Complex’ burned down in October 2016. Somehow or other it has retained the same name although there is NO ‘steam room’ in the premises. To reopen, the sauna has joined forces with Pandora's (a Swinger Club) which operates in the evenings apart from Monday. During the day up until 7 o'clock it is run as a gay venue with plenty of on-site free parking. The facilities include a single sauna, Jacuzzi and a pool with the remainder of the ground floor taken up by a large bar and lounge area as well as changing rooms. Because it was originally conceived as a Swinger Club the fittings are rather opulent with chandeliers and plush furniture which all looks a little out of place for a gay sauna. The upper floors are designed as cruising areas with many rooms some with windows many with video facilities. There is a well-equipped fetish room which is probably the best I've ever seen if you are into that kind of thing! The guys on my visit were in the late 20’s to 70’s age range – most being in their 40’s. Sex appears to take place only on these upper floors and is very much orgiastic in the nature. The staff and clientele were very friendly. A little more cleaning would have been appreciated though. In my opinion the venue is far too large to ever be successful. To gain entry you have to join ‘the Club’. This means that you pay an extra £6 for a minimum 6 months membership. The initial entry charge is well over the top unless you are able and willing to be a regular customer. Even if, as was suggested to me, the sauna has to have club membership to be able to obtain the necessary licences, £6 is excessive for a Membership Card and a listing on a database, which probably doesn’t comply with GDPR Compliance anyway. £1 at the most should suffice. All in all a disappointment for me.

You can't say it's too cold the warmth hits you when you enter the bar area good steam room shame there is no massager though

I've been here loads of times before but won't be going back. The swimming pool has grit in the corners at the bottom and other bits that look like plasters on the bottom. Don't try to give any comments or helpful feedback to management because they don't like it and will tell you to go elsewhere if you don't like it! So I will!

Good sauna just the thing.

I always wanted to go inside heard a lot about it from friends ,On My first visit i was nervous never been to place like this before very quite for Sunday guess it was due to Tour De Yorkshire cycle race ,once through reception My first impression was very big open and spacious bar area nice and tidy mange to find 2 very nice gentlemen both bottom and second visit found nice mature top guy .again Sunday this time Leeds Half Marathon Race .love mature older Caucasian men hope to go again soon for more fun xxxx

Visited yesterday for the first time. Very helpful staff. It has all the facilities that you would expect. The variety of play rooms are well laid out particularly the dungeon room. Plenty of guys there. I will definitely be going again.

Not as good as the old place! I used to attend the old place regularly before the unfortunate fire. Why couldn’t it have been rebuilt? It could’ve been rebuilt bespoke to what customers wanted. The current place is nowhere near as good. There’s no steam room, unless one has been added in the last year or so, and the other facilities are barely worth three stars! On the three occasions I’ve been there the only time it was worth going was the grand reopening!

I wouldn't even give this place 1 star if I could. I used to love the old place it was amazing. I've been to the new place and it's terrible, the place looks like it needs a good clean with disenfectant. The tiles on the floor are wall tiles, so it feels like you are going to slip all the time. The place is such a let down for a city like leeds

Went on Friday 12 till 7 great place for socialising and great staff who I got on well with always there too help and the place is amazing so 5 star rating from me and the chacuzi Bath was great and the steam room too and the place was very well clean and too those people who wrote bad comments about the place think about it before writing it that will hurt other people's feelings who go there all ready.

Large sauns however for such a large place it only has a small sauna room & jacuzzi, no steam room. Free tea coffeee would be nice
