really cool place

I've been here a few times now, and really enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and awesome music. there's a special on the entrance fee if you under 26 or if you a student, so that's really nice, as it fits my student budget. the staff are really friendly as well and its just a lekker place to unwind, after a hard week off work.

Avoid it

This is the worst sauna I've ever been. I arrived in Johannesburg and called up the sauna from my hotel. After I asked about how to go there, they said they could send me a taxi to my hotel. When the taxi arrived it was an old broken particular windshield cracked car, almost falling to pieces. I almost gave up. The sauna is situated in a very desert area. When I got the sauna they gave no sandals and a new lock to put in the closet. The sauna was very empty and the great majority of the customers were not young, neither attractive. After spending 2 hours without having fun I decided to leave the place. So I asked the bar man to advice the same driver to pick me up, because I had combined a return trip price with him. The bar man adviced and asked me to wait him tell me the driver was outside. After half an hour he said me the taxi was outside. So I dressed my self and decided to pay the bill and had a new suprise: he said I had to pay for the chinese new lock he gave me to use. So I paid it and decided to not bring this bad souvenir with me. When I was outside the same driver was not outside and appeared another to drive me for a more expensive price. No one of the guards outside new the other driver. So, for safety reasons, I decided to come back to the sauna, but the cashier said I was not allowed to get into again, unless I pay again for the entry. Then after I a long discussion the cashier said the driver was outside. I went outside and the driver was onother. Than I came back and told the nasty cashier the driver was onother. He said, It has to be that one because he couldn't find the other. Then I asked if that driver was safe, because the guard outside did not new him. An he said he was safe. So I decided to take this new driver and paid much more for the inbound trip. The city is also terrible: does not look like a city. Avoid this sauna and also this strange city. Cape town is million times better than Johannesburg.

Dirty

The facilities are good but the place is seldom cleaned. Used condoms and cum remain in cubicles for hours. The sauna smells really bad. Wear flip flops if you go as the floors are disgusting.

Eventhough I've been to the Rec Room Club many times before, Friday (06/03/11) was my best time there yet. I met two black guys, , one guy from Randburg, and one white guy, I felt like the SA Colors of REC. It was amazing and fabulous, I can't wait to got there again next Friday.
