SAUNA DAVID

The sauna is clean, modern and recently renovated, and the prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, it is very small and mostly attracts an older crowd. If you are interested in men 35 or younger, this place might not be for you. It has a jacuzzi, which is great, but no pool due to the limited space. The sauna and steam room are both quite small as well. There is a nice bar inside, but the Wi-Fi didn’t work for me even with the code they provided. The location is close to public transport, though it’s outside the city centre. I would recommend it mainly for people 35+ or for those specifically interested in that age group. One negative thing that applies to most saunas in Prague is that they do not accept card payments. This means you need to find an ATM that doesn’t charge a high commission. I didn’t check whether the ATM outside the sauna charges fees or not. It also closes quite early for a sauna, at 22:00, whereas many other saunas in Prague stay open until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m., or even later on weekends. Overall: not bad, but not ideal for me.

If you're going to a sauna in Prague, go to this one. World-standard 3-Star. Prague standard 5-Star. Yes, it's small; but for a small venue it has very good facilities. Steam room, dry sauna, and jacuzzi. Yes, they only take cash. That is normal. At least the owner is upfront and polite about it. The ATM next door is EuroNet which should be avoided. Instead go across the road and around the corner to the "Kooperative" where the rate it better. Yes, get the bath shoes. Yes, this costs a little extra, this is normal. Same for fresh towels. At least in Europe. Protection is free, lube is not. Vienna is the same. On Friday night over 4 hours there were about 25 men that visited of many ages (20s to 60s) and sizes (twinks, bears, muscle, and chubs). Mostly locals. The staff mostly speak decent English. The locals not-so-much; but sauna's the world over don't have much conversation. The drinks are very decently priced. The letters on the towel hooks: first time I've seen it. Great idea.

I rate sauna by 3 categories; 1) the amenities, 2) the architect/layout and 3) the clients. Sauna David amenities has a portable above ground jacuzzi. This is not a built in /permanently jacuzzi. Sauna is decent and does the job as well as the dry sauna. 4-5 rooms for personal space to have fun. There is a douching room. The bar is just fine and there is a down stairs living room size area which u take a spiral staircase to get to. Has a large size space/bed area of vinyl material which is facing the tv for X viewing. Beside the space is a strange random dark room of 1.2 meters in width and 2.4 meters in length. (This size is a rough estimate.) It’s very random and the wall which separates this room and the living room/bed could have been knocked out to have a proper size room. But I’d probably left due to building permit rules, money, or foundation purposes. Showers and lockers are adequate. You are giving a choice walk around only with S size towel and receive 2 drink tickets. Or walk around clothed. (Why would anyone go to a sauna and be clothed? Most likely due to shame and not reaching a level of self love). Next, the humans, they are the same mix of personalities, shy, reserved, outgoing depressed and god complex. I am very outgoing and friendly. I experienced the typical, “I’m a hot white guy that only hooks up with the same copy of himself”, bears, older men and amazing hot guys who enjoy all sorts of people. Condoms are provided and people aren’t aware of prep, pep and/or dozy prep. Making people afraid of common infections that can be addressed with knowledge and medication. Overall I give sauna David 3 stars out of 5. Due to that random downstairs room, the jacuzzi and the drink tickets. They can do better.

Among the dozen European saunas I have visited, this one is by far the smelliest. It is small and cramped, with a toilet from which you practically enter directly into the steam room. If you cannot influence a clientele that doesn’t shower, you can at least take care of the hygiene of your own facilities. Really terrible smell all over the whole sauna. The guy at the reception is friendly.

The entire facility has been renovated. Very affordable prices and excellent service. Close to public transportation.
