On the fine line between kitsch and tradition sits Archimedes Banya. Steam yourself in the two traditional Russian saunas , relax with a drink in the soaking pools and finish off with a Platza massage . Read more

Multi-story labyrinthian layout. Russian saunas are large but could be hotter. Clothing is optional in every part of the public areas (despite signs indicating otherwise ???? ????). Food and drink on site

Rob Atkinson

The real deal. Clean and new, good steam, whirlpool , and sauna facilities. Reasonably priced. I tried the oak leave massage and it was intense. Worth the trip

You are transported to Surreal Russia. A+++ can't recommend enough. Get the "birch whisk" and body thwack accordingly :))

Marina Laduda

Russian sauna , Finnish sauna , Turkish sauna , freezing pool, chilled pool, jacuzzi , veniki, and a restaurant with a BYOB policy.

Treat yourself to a fresh coconut after you spa - it's the perfect way to end your session.

They now have a basic selection of beer and wine for purchase in their cafe .

The best part of this place was the sauna , steam bath, hot tub and cold plunge area. The massages were okay but too ordinary for what they charge. The food in the cafeteria was unimpressive and cold.
