Base now swish swingers club
Good luck to swish hope it works. Base for gay /Bi men is being run down, most have voted with third feet and gone to 52. The half half is very confusing, they have done a lot to place to make it into a swinger venue and perhaps Newcastle needed one but feel gay / bi are just admitted as cash cows till swish is up and running.

I have been  attending  base sauna for years   in the past  previous owners have let  it   down  However  since the new owners took  over the place has improved. New lighting  ambience carpets flooring  improved  bar  and menu   new  welcoming  staff and upper  floor entertainment  areas.   a vastly  improved  lower floor the  spa jaccuzzi  is hot, as is the swedish hot  box. the atmosphere  is chilled   to  allow  people to  relax and the staff are  always   keeping the  sauna well maintained. unlike other  saunas that  I  have frequented here the staff take time out  to  use the facilities this place the staff are  far  to  busy  making  sure that the visitors are safe and comfortable.  well done to the staff and management  for making this sauna one of the best  in my  eyes

Enjoyed
Been by myself as a mature gent seeking relaxation mainly on a Thursday and had enjoyable time each visit. Found the rooms clean and tidy, steam rooms excellent and lounge area relaxing for coffee and snacks. Will definitely be visiting again.

Base is the PLACE
Great new facilities, cinema, maze, state of the art showers, dark room, 7 large screens, 14-man jacuzzi.. and spotless as well. Staff are really helpful and friendly and take their job seriously. Definitely visiting again. You guys should try it, as the place has certainly changed.. Amazing offers, too.

Fake review
I doubt this review is genuine and probably written by the owners. It is not a genuine account of a visit and contains lots of promotion.

The people are the only good thing about Base
Walked in to lovely staff but that and the other customers was all that was lovely about it.  Firstly MOULD! I mean come on!  Some of the private rooms have MOULD growing up the walls.  The downstairs showers don't work.  The tiles on the floor of the steam room are so sharp my. Partner cut his foot just walking in. The jacuzzi is never hot or even warm. It's a cold and grimy mess.  The downstairs facilitys such has tables arnt even steady.  And are more of a hazard than they are appealing.  Upstairs seems to be more looked after than the downstairs and that's scary.  I don't think I can go again.

Great sauna
Travelled to Newcastle recently and tried sauna on the scene (52 I believe)....Not for me. Staff not friendly, jacuzzi very small and place was fairly dirty. I didn't stay and went to BASE as I've been to the one in Manchester. was welcomed by friendly staff and found the place tidy and clean. was busy with fun-loving guys and i had a great night....will definitely return. Thanks BASE for a great night. I recommend.

Wow
Ever since Base had a revamp I love it. Me and my friends from college usually come here after college to chill out and unwind after a stressful day and have some fun. The staff are so lovely and helpful. I don't think we will ever go back to 52 now and it's so much cleaner than 52 and I'm such a germ freak so glad to see the new staff are good cleaners.

Avoid
Some people like the grime and unhygienic scene. I don't and much prefer the cleaner modern competitor Sauna 52. Avoid!
