NZ (Sauna Nieuwezijds)
Sleek but still sleazy sauna that opened December 2013, introducing a new style to the scene. Features include a lounge, jacuzzi, Turkish bath, Finnish sauna, private cabins and smoker's lounge. Plus the obligatory darkroom and cruising areas. Bears have their run of the cave on the last Saturday of the month (from 2pm), with nakeds exposing their wares on Tuesday evenings. Wednesdays accommodate "all gender identities and sexual orientations". And as of 2023, Monday novelties include free massages and melted chocolate. From the creative entrepreneurial team behind Club Church [see entry]. Located ever so close to the Damrak and Central Station.

Super
Nice place, nice people
very nice venue
Same owners as Church bar. Clean and tidy. Plenty of zones to get it on. I went for no towel night and went again the following night! Smart bar area and nice mix of wet n dry.

Nice sauna hot people
one of the best saunas I've visited
Love the atmosphere especially the lounge. Been many times and seems the later you go the younger the guys. About the anal douche system - works great for me. I bought the douche hose from the bar and re- use it every time I visit- discreet
Disgusting!
It was very dirty. Especially toilets and private rooms. They don't give slippers.
