Splash Spa Leicester

This is the largest sauna in Leicester, which can have its drawbacks, as if it is not busy then you can find it hard to make contact. The sauna has a nice bar/relaxation area on the ground floor with a pool table, bar serving food and drinks (free coffee & tea) and the wet-area which has the showers, sauna and steam room and a large heated pool – not exactly a Jacuzzi though. Upstairs is a large video room, various cabins, darkrooms, g.h’s. There is also and open-air terraced area for taking the sun and smoking. The clientele are a little younger than is usual in saunas these days – I would say that the average age was between 25 to 45 on my recent visit on a Sunday lunchtime/afternoon – although there were some older men also in attendance. There were also 50 -60 people visiting during the period I was there. There was also quite an ethnic mix during my visit. The sauna runs themed night including foam parties, under thirties nights with reduced prices for the younger crowd, over 60’s on alternate Wednesday when the youngsters pay the standard entrance fee. There are concessions for the under 25’s on most days too. There are also “gear”days and bears’ days as well – best to check the website. The steam room and upstairs see the most activity. A nice clean place with friendly staff – well worth a visit if you can be sure that it will be busy.

Lovely sauna in Leicester City Centre, which is really an asset for LGBT community in Leicester and wider East Midlands. Good facilities with sauna, steam and spa pool and plenty of private spaces. Clean and well maintained facilities and incudes a cafe/bar where you can get a proper coffee. I have visited a few times recently including one the Saturday event night, which was busy and lots of very friendly guys is such a nice change from London saunas:) Friendly and welcoming staff who do look after their customers.

Disappointed & unnerved There are some positives. The hot tub is big if a little dated. Bar area is big & bright. But the rest of it. Very dark and gloomy and needs some updating. The upstairs play area is very cold and the dark room is so dark I couldn’t even see the way in! The worst aspect though was that some of the clientele even after giving them no eye contact or interest would not leave me alone & continued to pester and follow me around. One even grabbed another guy by the wrists and tried to pull him into one of the rooms! He thankfully said no and he got the message! Clientele was largely older. That’s fine but I’m on the younger side and felt like I was being stalked. Wouldn’t go back if I’m honest.

Very dirty and unhygienic in all areas no one seem to clean here, smells of damp and there's black mold in places. Don't eat anything they serve either I heard one of the staff discussing how he doesn't even have his food hygiene certificate with another staff member-adding to this the staff were also talking about Tony the owners unhealthy interest in your guys and I think this something that should be of concern

This mens spa always used to be welcoming and friendly. Nice friendly chaps would sit for tea and have a good chat with you. They serve cold drinks here too and the staff are very friendly. They have various events including a popular bear day which can be very sociable.
