Splash Steam and Sauna
Welcome to Splash Steam and Sauna, one of the most inviting and friendly saunas for the LGBTQ+ community in Toronto. This oasis of relaxation is located at 1610 Dundas Street West, in the heart of one of the city's up-and-coming neighborhoods. With its relaxed atmosphere, the sauna is an ideal retreat for gay individuals and anyone seeking a friendly environment to unwind and make new acquaintances. The sauna is open seven days a week, allowing for flexible planning.
Location and Surroundings
Splash Steam and Sauna is conveniently located, making it easily accessible. While it is situated in a busy part of the city, the friendly neighborhood ensures that visitors feel comfortable right away. To reach the sauna, patrons need to climb a steep staircase to the second floor. Please note that the entrance may not be immediately visible, as it is tucked between a bicycle shop on the left and an empty bar on the right. Look for the outdated blue and white sign to avoid taking a wrong turn.
Facilities and Atmosphere
At the sauna, guests can expect a relaxing and casual atmosphere. Customers particularly appreciate the friendly and welcoming nature of the space. Aside from the typical sauna facilities like steam rooms and relaxation areas, the friendly visitors are a real bonus. This contributes to a social vibe that makes it easy to strike up a conversation with like-minded individuals.
Occasionally, guests report mixed experiences ranging from the type of visitors to minimal equipment shortcomings. Nevertheless, Splash is considered a place where one can have fun while feeling comfortable. Despite occasional criticism of the facilities, the heart of Splash is the community: friendly, open, and never pretentious.
Costs and Payment Methods
A very important note is that Splash operates on a cash-only basis; credit cards are not accepted. An ATM is located just 50 meters away in case you need cash. This is helpful information to avoid unwelcome surprises during your visit. So plan your visit well and bring enough cash with you.
Special Notes
Visitors should be aware that Monday is often considered the busiest day. If you are looking for a livelier atmosphere, this might be the perfect time for your visit. However, if you prefer a quieter experience, weekdays may be the better choice.
