"This review is exclusively on the sauna & steam facility.
First visit around Jan 2025 and steam room was already out of service. Been visiting around 2-3 times every month. Notified floor staff, commented on fb post regarding this but don’t see any improvements.
Last visit was 1 June 2025, still out of order. In addition to that, sauna room is acting out, the heating will cut off itself and choose when it will work. The switch box is loose and flimsy with tape all around.
And the most disgusting was the moldy water bucket and ladle. Never seen a tiny bit of improvements.
I’d like to remind that you are charging for Sauna & Steam, and I can only use 50% of what I paid for plus now it keeps reducing the value. How bad does it have to go in order for you to start taking action"

The venue also features a surau (prayer room) and comfortable changing facilities, adding to the convenience for visitors.
