disrespectful
I asked a simple question and got a mocking response with attitude from one of the staff. So much for welcoming first timers and their website's claim of being attitude free. There are friendlier saunas and venues in Sydney and most of those are in the Oxford St area where the feel in the street is safer and more accepting and guys aren't pretending to be straight.
Best sauna for older chubby men & Asians boys
357 is my favourite now, I use to go kingsteam but come here now because I'm a very big man (chubby) and I feel people who like big chubby (bit over weight) older men come to 357. It's known for its OLDER & CHUBBY customers as well as ASIAN and it makes me happy coming here.
Best Sauna in Town
My Partner and I visit this Sauna regularly and by far this is the best in Sydney. Gay owned and operated this is not only one of the friendliest Sauna's around it is the largest. Located close to Haymarket, 357 has a strong Asian presence but it has diversified recently with the closure of Ken's in 2013. You now get a good mix of Asian, Twinks, Cubs and Older guys. The best time to visit is Friday before 7PM, Saturday & Sunday. between 3pm-7pm. Sunday, by far is the busiest with a foam party held from 4pm. If you're visiting during Mardi Gras be sure to get in before 2pm as the queue to get is gets really really long as the place max's out with over 400 guests. The place is kept clean and well maintained. (Doors that lock and aren't falling off their hinges). They did some renovations recently in the wet area. It also offers unlimited towels for a max of 20 Hours unlike other Sydney Sauna's. They also have a 24hour STI terminal linked to Sydney Sexual health clinic providing anonymous STI testing. ACON (Aids Council of NSW) also have representatives onsite during peak periods offering advise (when approached) on STI's and how to play safe. There is actually 3 levels of play with the top floor a chill out area and a cafe called Boys on top. This is licensed cafe with a great selection of rolls and cakes. Coffee is limited to instant and POD type. They have Internet access and a small theatre showing popular movies. The downside is when its quiet its REALLY quiet. Unlike Bodyline this place doesn't "rock" late at nite/early AM on Friday~Sunday nites. Also parking can get expensive during the day. Do your research if driving in or take public transport. 357 is a must to check out during any Sydney visit. Happy Cruising! :-)
kind of clean, people rather scary
We went to Sydney and looked for the sauna to go. Unfortunately we decided for the 357. The crowed was mainly very old guys, or Asian boys. People around 30-40 very absent. The older sometimes didn't understand 'no thanks'. Cleanness was ok, sauna and steam ok, but nothing happened there. Overall we would try next time another.
mixed crowd
Top marks to the happy and friendly staff and super clean venue. Level4 is so chilled out, but the cafe could be open more. My fav theme is the towel free zone on L3 in the dark room. Chance of group fun on L2, and steamy experiences on L1. 357 is a place of respect and so much fun.
