The men’s sauna by the train station in Hove has seen many changes over the years, with service going from good to bad, to worse and then back again.
NOW it is back at the top of its game, providing a very friendly and inviting place to visit for people of all ages.
FOR the last 6 years it’s been called TBS2 Sauna, before that D2, and before that The Denmark. The owners have now decided that TBS2 simply doesn’t trip off the tongue, and is hard to remember, so have now re-named it The Boiler Room.
The Boiler Room has recently undergone many changes, including an improved food menu with fresher produce being introduced into the food on offer; it has had a good lick of paint, changes to some of the cruise rooms upstairs, expansion of the lounge area, a new sling added, and fairly soon they intend to replace all the lockers with brand new ones.
Owner Adam Bailey, said: “The sauna has gone from strength to strength over the last 6 years, and is now far busier than ever before. In the old days of D2 hardly anything ever worked. Our ethic of repairing everything as quickly as possible has restored customer confidence overall, and nowadays it’s very rare that something isn’t working. However, we still get the odd customer asking if everything is working when they come in. Sometimes it is very hard to break people’s pessimism, which has been generated by very poor management in the past”.
He added: “Above all, what makes this place really work is the friendly attitude of the staff. It is often said of pubs and restaurants across Brighton and Hove that the staff are very rude, or just don’t seem to care. Something that The Boiler Room take very seriously.
“Even more so the toilets; so many venues across the city have disgusting toilets, and then wonder why customers treat them so badly and make the problem worse. The Boiler Room toilets are some of the cleanest you’ll find.
“What is probably the most remarkable attribute of this sauna is the warm atmosphere. Many cruise venues in London and the South East have an ‘attitude’ about them. This makes people think that everyone in there has an attitude. The lounge at The Boiler Room is a very friendly place to be, and for some of the older customers, this is just what they need.
“It’s nice to still see a gay venue where people can all feel at one with each other, chat about nothing, catch up on the gossip, and generally have a good time without getting drunk. Such a rare thing these days.
