The Greenhouse - Newport -

17 reviews

Been here a couple of times, but won’t be back. Picked up a skin infection in the scummy hottub. Place is pretty grotty and filled mostly with dirty pensioners who have well let themselves go and think nothing of grabbing your dick whether you look at them or not. There is a sort of bi trans gay night, but only one 70 year old bloke in stockings and suspenders showed up to that. Sauna was so hot it melted the lenses of my glasses! Very grotty, smelly rooms, far too dark in places and always used condoms and spunk lying around in them. Reminds me of the movie ‘Hellraiser’. Very expensive disappointment. Stick to grindr meets.

I've been going here for some time and I notice of late the attitude of some staff is amazingly offenisve! Last week I was shouted for something I did not do, the staff member "thought he saw" me do something and shouted abuse at me, ignorant. The Manager tends to insult me, he probably thinks it's humour but it's just rude, even a another staff member was taken aback at how rude he was.

They did do food, then it seemed to change, as the staff didn't want to cook so rather than saying they don't do food would be rude with the view to discourage people from asking for food. Ignorant. I see they now seem to do small dishes but I wouldn't ask in the expectation of they didn't feel like cooking I'd get a mouthful of stupidity instead. Just rubbish.

Of late the resident tranny seems to be in control, previously in a shouting match with the manager in rows over nothing, fulled by the tranny's alcohol problem (drinking cans of booze at the counter and is a confirmed alcoholic - makes him/her abusive and disagreeable. The resident tranny staggers about in high heels, can hear him/her approaching and it's a big turn off, sounds like the wife, girlfriend, mother walking about. Every day seems to be tranny day, there's always one in addition to the resident tranny staggering about trying to get into any action going, it's such a big turn off. A tranny will glide in clumping in high heels, wearing badly fitting wigs and slutty clothes, hover around man-action wanting to join in, it just turns me (and many others) off. Some men will let the tranny give them a BJ as that's usually all they want. 95% of the trannys look dreadful, there are just 1 or 2 that are "convincing", these I don't mind.

My biggest complaint is staff rudeness, I know there's no point in mentioning this to the Manager as he will just give a stupid surprised face and reply "well you know what to do if you don't like it" - that's the sort of people they are.

I've had problems with the jacuzzi in the past, I've come away with various infections, I mentioned this to the Manager who was rather dismissive, claiming to follow clean procedure but I and a few other beg to differ. I'm not allergic to anything, many people have complained the jacuzzi is not maintained to standard however I have noticed of late things have improved. I'm almost finished treatment on a skin condition I got from there.

The venue can get stinky and grubby, I believe some people have grudges against the staff (no surprise there) and in revenge will leave fresh turds around the place. Revolting, sadly some of the play areas tend to stink.

It's not all bad though, yes some of the clients are awful but there's a lot of nice men too. The venue does have a good sized jacuzzi, steam room and sauna cabin, there'a enough area to walk about and enough play rooms although some locks are weak. When the staff behave it's quite good, I can overlook the genral shabby vibe, I've had some good times there.

I have been a regular here for some time now. Yes I keep coming back. It's always friendly and clean. The facilities are excellent and the staff are great.
In answer to one of the previous reviewers, condoms and lube are free. Just ask at the bar or like me, on the way in.

This very old decor type of sauna is definitely now showing her age.The building it's self is in a very bad state of health. The downstairs showers have been stone cold for almost 4 years,the toilets on the middle floor have been leaking for nearly two years now. The general state of the building is tacky. The cost of a spell at this sauna will now cost you a whopping £16 up from £14 , with no real improvements on customer service. The video in the so called bisexual room has been playing for the last five years on a continuous loop.The staff are very friendly and will go around looking for a shag themselves which is a bit of a check as the customers have paid £16 to get in.The owner of the Greenhouse chain is heterosexual and when he dose visit the Greenhouse s he has been known to become verbal towards customers.Wednesday is still the busiest day and sunday is the second.

Hi all, just wanting to say first off I'm someone who is new to this and ultimately I'm still not sure where I stand, but having visited the Greenhouse twice now, I can say . That its a wonderful non judgmental place . The facilities are clean, the staff are friendly and most of all some of the older cock in there is magnificent. I for one would recommend it time and time again

Have visited here about half a dozen times whilst passing. Decent place - the hot tub is large and relaxing thanks to the subdued lighting, had a mind-blowing group session in there once. The showers are hot and clean, the whole place is generally pretty clean and tidy, staff are nice without being intrusive. It's a reasonable size and although not as luxurious as the London saunas, it's a pretty decent place to visit. Plenty of sexy Welsh guys there too.

This place is the ultimate shock-fest. I went to their 'Dare to Bare' day on Wednesday. I don't live in Newport, but in London and took the train down (3 hours to Newport from Paddington). Dare to Bare is a catchphrase invented by the Greenhouse meaning it's a day when towels are not allowed.

When I visited here five years ago, the place had lots of hot, fit guys. This time round, the place was universally packed to the rafters with very overweight, badly-behaved guys. They were rude, pinching my bum and perving and molesting me, and farting in the shower, and singing at the tops of their voices, and demanding food, and generally behaving badly. I have never been made to feel so uncomfortable. The staff were at it too.

The premises are quite large, but the colour scheme is dreadful. The walls are wallpapered in a distressing deep purple and many of the rooms smell like someone has died in them (stale and stuffy). The toilets were unflushed and unclean and left in that state for the entire duration of my visit. There was a dreadful smell of fried food permeating the building.

The staff were reasonably friendly. I didn't enjoy the experience, and found the customers not to understand "no". Avoid this place, it's very bad.

Visited first time on a Sunday afternoon. Bit out of the way and no buses on Sunday but that's not the fault of the sauna.

Lots of facilties-wonderful attic room, plenty of showers, cinemas and private rooms. Loved the place.

Only criticism was that I couldn't find condoms and lube. I always take my own anyway, in case. But we need to encourage safe sex and they should be available with ease of access. When leaving, I saw there was a condom machine in the changing rooms. May be you are expected to buy them. I'm not sure. Yes we are responsible ourselves for playing safe and you could say why should we moddle-colly but the ultimate cost to society is greater. I don't know whether free condoms are usually provide by owners or given/subsidised by a health body. Whatever, they should be provided.

Anyway I'll get off my high horse. It was an excellent place.

Good sauna. Facilities are decent, has a nice sized jacuzzi where there is always hot action to watch if not take part in. Naked day (Wednesday) is always busy and a variety of men in attendance. Place is clean, staff are friendly without being invasive, location is discreet. Can't complain really. Apparently Sundays are busy too but not been that day myself. Would be good if there was a Bear themed day or Older/Younger day on one of the quieter days like Monday or Tuesday but hey ho.

This is one of my favourite saunas in the UK, the staff are hilarious very welcoming and make sure you have a good time. The facilities are always very clean and there is usually a decent sized crowd. On naked day it is utterly heaving and the vast majority of people leave the towels well alone. I have never left here without a smile on my face.

Love it here I'm a young guy so always get a lot of attention of the older guys sundays are normally the best but ill go anytime just for a bit of easy fun and will be there tomorrow too

had a great time there, being the youngest there a tender 18year old its lucky i like big bears as thats all that was there. Got a lot of c*ck there but there was the issue that i'd been f*cked so much and so hard i could barely walk lol genuinely needed help up the stairs at one point. this being said i did have an amazing time and did leave well and truly full to the brim with cum

Been here twice now 1st time was naked wednesday, good choice of men different ages. Seems to be more older men here but if thats not an issue then would recommend it. Second time was a friday very quiet indeed just me and 2 others but left after an hour

Horrid little place, full of the fattest, ugliest men you could imagine. What a freak-fest.

I would be up for going with you email me on robertsjasona@hotmail.com

Thinking of going here for the first time would any body be interested in meeting up??? :)

Fantastic on sunday afternoon . Variety of guys and free food at 5.00pm
