Reviews of Archimedes Banya
"I loved it. If you like social banya or schvitz spaces, you'll probably be into this. It's not fancy, but the facilities and atmosphere are great. We got checked in up front, and handed over our IDs, and received a locker bracelet, and robe. Got a towel and sandals from the locker, and then entered the banya space to take a shower. We were greeted by Tony who explained the rules/facilities to us, as first-timers. For water immersion, there's 3 pools (cold, warm, HOT), as well as a cold plunge. For sweat, there's a smaller dry sauna, a big multi-level sauna, and a lovely scented steam room. We also spent time on the rooftop gazing out at the city view and the lovely sunset, and had a knish and kombucha in the cafe, which has a very relaxed hostel vibe. We also ran into Misha, one of the founders, who was so welcoming. Looking forward to coming back,"
"Absolutely my favorite banya thus far. Coed clothing optional. 3 dry saunas, 1 steam, 2 hot tubs, 1 cold plunge and more! Good vibes."
"I was one of the first visitors to this bathhouse when it opened. we went there 1-2 times every two weeks with a group or family. we went there for 3 years, and I knew the Russian man who founded this bathhouse. There are about 13-15 people there of different nationalities. but then something happened and we were expelled. because we didn’t put towels on when we sat down in our shorts. and other people could simply sit naked. It was a shock for us. and we haven’t visited this bathhouse for many years now."
"Upon checking in at the front desk with government ID, they provided you a key to the locker. They allow a three-hour time limit per guest, which feels just right. The locker in dressing room provided with fresh towels, bathrobes, and flip flops. The facilities include a couple of dry sauna rooms, a steam sauna room, three pools with different temperatures, and a plunge pool. The second floor features a TV lounge with a spacious balcony offering a stunning bay view. The top floor offers a relaxing view and comfortable seating. Definitely a good spot to get some fresh air after some sauna and steam room experience. Clothing is optional here, which might initially feel uncomfortable for some, but I found people to be respectful, creating a comfortable environment. However, the place could use some remodeling to address rusty stains on the walls, improve ambiance and play more relaxing music. It seems they aim for a social sauna vibe instead of spa vibe, as sometimes conversations can get loud, particularly in the pool area. No hair dryer provided after showing. There were minor maintenance issues, like a small nail poking out in one of the dry saunas and finding some long hairs in the pool, but overall, it didn't detract significantly from the experience. I particularly enjoyed the aroma infusion sauna at 7pm daily, where they provide three rounds aroma such as eucalyptus, beer, and orange peels. Highly recommended, although be prepared for the room to get a bit stuffy and hot. Overall, my three-hour experience was incredibly relaxing, and I would definitely return. The basic entrance is $67 and they offer happy hour at $55 week day before 4pm. Parking by the street."
"Came in on a Monday right at noon when they opened. You get a bracelet w locker number, two freshly laundered towels, a robe and flip-flops. The establishment is on three different floors but all the saunas and plunges are on the first floor, place is super clean and everyone was very respectful except maybe one or two older men that bluntly were staring at women, clothing is optional. By 1:30pm there were more people but not so crowded that you could not enjoy the establishment. Second floor has a small patio, TV room and a restaurant. The third floor is a larger area w lounge chairs and stunning views of San Francisco. The entire experience was wonderful and just so relaxing. Easy street parking"
