Gentryhull - Hull

While its a bit on the small and snug side, its a very decent place. Staff are very friendly as are most of the usual locals. The hot-tub is a little on the basic side but the sauna is decent and is well looked after. The bar attached is also reasonable with prices and is good to have a rest in.

I wouldn't really recommend the steam room bit as its a tiny cupboard that really only fits 2 people, three/four if people don't mind sitting on the steam pipe.

The darker areas are well laid out (though the large tanning machine is a bit strange) and its quite easy to walk around and play about in.

Generally it is a fun and friendly, if snug little place. If you do go, I would recommend doing either a Thursday or Saturday as those seem to be when things are busier.

This sauna is situated in a quiet residential area and consequently it is easy to park in the side streets. The sauna is open from Wednesday to Sunday inclusive and is behind a pub which is only open weekends after 6pm.

The entrance to the sauna is in the side road is discrete. The reception area is just a small desk at the base of the stairs. You go up to the first floor to the main changing area. Also on this floor is a video room, various cubicles and resting areas (G.H. & Sling). On the upper floor there is another video room and massages are available on certain days of the week.

On the ground floor next to reception is the wet area which has two Jacuzzis, sauna and a very small steam room as well as showering and lavatory facilities.

One might describe the place as being a bit “seedy”, but everything appears to be reasonably clean. Be careful of the under seat steam-vent in the small steam room.

I went on a Saturday afternoon and there were approximately 30 to 35 guys during the afternoon mainly in their 30’s to 60’s. An extremely active clientele, who all seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff and clients were very friendly and helpful.

Okay this place may be a “bit rough around the edges” but what can you expect for a £5 entry fee including free drinks and snacks and very often with special drink offers from the pub. I doubt whether this low price can be sustained in the long run as very little profit can be generated. When I was there a free pint of stout was offered to customers.

It is difficult to make a comparison with the other sauna in town which is much larger, more inviting and probably better fitted. It has the complication of having very limited free parking on site and being too large unless there are a lot of clientele. They do however give free meals on certain occasions.

It seems to have tried to compete on price removing its previous membership fee, but it is still a basic £12. “You pays your money and you takes your chance”. Sometimes the “seedy” places are also more fun though!

Visiting from Australia with my partner. We enjoyed our time at the Gentry. The staff are friendly, very helpful and made us so welcome we have returned a few more times while we are in the UK.
We have tried a few saunas in the UK during our visits and have found Gentry to be the best.
The clients are friendly too and not to precious to have a conversation. They too made us so welcome.
We would of course like a bigger dark room but space may prevent this. The sauna, steam room, spa baths are good and showers with plenty of hot water were just great and staff regularly patrolling to ensure everything was clean and tidy.
Attached is a bar for drinks in a pub atmosphere.
This place is just right. We loved it. Hope you are open on our next trip to the Uk.

I first tried Gentry a few months ago and since then I have become a regular! The staff are friendly and welcoming, the facilities are clean and well maintained. The atmosphere is laid back and chilled and contraceptives are supplied for free. Generally it's a wonderful place and if your thinking about going, go! It will be worth it.

Great value for money in comparison to the sauna in Leeds which has increased their prices so much it's not worth the time & money but the gentry is the sensible option

Very welcoming Sauna. I have visited this sauna a day or so ago whilst waiting for the ferry to Rotterdam. The place is clean and tidy. The personnel is very welcoming and friendly and makes you feel at home real quickly. The atmosphere is relaxed and the place was quite busy when I entered but I entered at an inconvenient time of about 16.30 so there were more people leaving as there were coming in. But ok, I expected that already. They have a large selection of private areas, chill-out areas, cabins, glory holes etc where you can enjoy yourself with whoever you bump into. You can enjoy yourself very privately in those cabins but there are also areas where you can do it publicly if that is more to your liking.

Alltogether I had an enjoyable stay and would return here if I am ever in the area again!
