Barcelona (Thermas) 2019 latest recommendations

[redxs]

I'm heading to BCN in a few weeks time.

Which hotels would you recommend - OK with being guys back?

[Guest]

Villa Emilia - although there is no pool.  It’s 1.5 blocks from Sauna Termas. Simple & clean rooms…excellent breakfast & bar in lobby.  I’d say it’s a 3.5 star hotel.  I’ve stayed several times and no problem bringing guys back.

if you want 5 star, then “The One Barcelona” ….not nearly as convenient as Villa Emilia though

The main gay Axel hotel is up the avenue a bit from Thermas and Axel's TWO hotel is 1 1/2 blocks from Thermas. Both are 4 or 41/2 star hotels. I've stayed at the TWO and it's dramatic, modern and announces it's "heterosexual-friendly" lol. Nice roof pool. Otherwise the big Axel is in the center of the gayborhood and close to trendy areas and cafes/gay bars. City, 1/2 block from Thermas struck me as beautiful and modern but i never stayed there. Next trip I'll probably stay at the main Axel for the neighborhood.

I stayed there also (Villa Emilia). Quite nice and close to Termas.

The Axel TWO is very nice and is a whole lot of fun.

I‘ve stayed at the Mandarin Oriental and it’s a healthy 20-25 minute walk to Thermas. Or a quick hop on the subway.  Very hot doormen of course. Sexy bathtubs in the rooms.  Axel is in the hood, but it was a little dark for my taste. Nice rooftop bar though

[redxs]

In Bcn this weekend until Tuesday.

When is the best time to visit Thermas? What are the prices currently?

Also, what bars / clubs are good for solo travellers? - anyone in town this weekend want to meet?

[Brak]

I always stay at Hotel Soho. Very nice modern rooms, not very expensive, about a 10 minute walk from Thermas.

[speedoo1]

Fri, Sat and Sun are busy. From 4-5 PM to 7-8 PM. Entry is 18 EUR.

Going rate for fun is 50 EUR. 70-80 EUR if you want the guy to cum. If you want one of the of the rooms with light and a bed (doors with numbers oN) you need to pay 9-10 EUR.

Clubs/bars:

BoysBar BCN is a small club but very popular; younger crowd. Come early (before 10PM) as otherwise there is a long queue to get in. Currently no strippers (Fridays) or go-go dancers (Saturdays).

Night Barcelona just across the street is a nice bar (sexy/muscle bartenders!) More mature crowd compared to BoysBar BCN.

Boxer Bar on the corner of the same street (and next to Casanova Sauna) is also very nice venue.

There are several gay bars/clubs in the area around Axel hotel so just walk around. Currently all close 01 AM due to Covid restrictions.

Enjoy!

I stayed at Evenia, which is super close. FInancially, it's cheap, but it's not the best value. You have no control over the room temperature and the rooms are small even for Barcelona standards.

Axel is gay and a bit tacky, but it's a gay hotel, so bringing people back or even getting recommendations from staff is easy. It's a little farther, but I'd recommend it if their sky bar is open: it's considered one of the top gay bars to visit in Europe, and it doesn't disappoint.

For a different experience, stay at Thermas overnight! You'll see which guys basically live there. It's a diverse mix of 5-6 guys. You can play around in the open, in the showers, in various places in the near-empty building. If you had any fantasies about being locked in a gym and discovering its erotic secrets, this is close. LOL.

The premium rooms are 9-10 EUR per hour. Some clients and guys use that for their overnight dates, which would be convenient for coming out every now and then to grab a third wheel. But there's no "pernoite" rate that I know of.

[pong2]

Sorry, but as for now this is simply not possible-it closes at 21.30 and opens 14 or 15.00-a little earlier on weekends. Was there twice last week-for me first time after at least 2 yrs-you know the reason. Entry has gone up and is indeed now 18 eur-or 16 on wednesdays=clients day.

I very well remember in the past it was open 24 hrs and as one could stay for that time on 1 entry and the guys also have to pay-many did just that.

Also all normal cabins now have sign telling its for MAX 1 person only-anyone ignores. But you can also rent better private rooms for 1 hr. You have to wear mask at least on ground floor=entry+change room. Outside signs also says one has to wear those plastic gloves---noone does,

My first visit turned out a little disappointing-small choice of guys and for me not the right one.

2nd time went better-even though choice as again quite limited and equalled nr. of visitors. But luck was with me and a Brasil guy had me. He spoke fairly good spanish and a little english and was certainly not mr. Adonis anymore. Quite willing to please, but as I found out he had also worked for a short period in Brasil as ´garoto´-or how they call it I led him do the programma and this was a fine decision. Told me he was in BCN now for 1 year but also did a normal job daytime and came in Thermas every other day or so. He even took me to and washed me afterwards in shower-very normal in Thailand, but not here. So I gave him a little extra tip which quite surprised him and some extra ´program service´.

This was early evening. I think its better to go for best choice late afternoon-I saw a few guys leaving with a customer when i was there and so I guess this is now their way to find overnight lodgings.

Did not see those times any of the guys listed above-the ´arabs´ nor east-europeans. But that could change by the day. I asked this guy about the mentioned Angelo from Brasil and he said he knew him but I could not find out if he was still there or not.

Any updates on Thermas? 

[young11]

Is thermas open these days? 

[msclelovr]

You would need to call ahead of any visit @young11. It’s the only way to check that they are open.

Catalonia has a curfew (and other measures) to combat the rising number of Covid19 cases. The restrictions are in force until at least 20 January.

I’m not sure how a sauna would be classed (nightlife or indoor play area?). The nightlife sector is closed, and leisure centres may only open with 50% capacity. Gatherings of only upto 10 people are permitted. Face mask use is mandatory indoors and outdoors (NB fines are heavy).

Thanks. Their Facebook page seems active and says open from 3pm to midnight so I am guessing it is similar to restaurants. In any case I wonder if there are enough boys there... I went there in August and it was OK, not as great as before but had around 15-20 guys, mostly OK looking. I am guessing now it's worse... 

I also noticed they increased the entrance fee so I am wondering if it would have an effect on boys show up. If they struggle to get clients having to pay 20 plus food and drink might discourage them quite significantly... 

[zetor]

i've been there in december, entrance was 18e,  many boys, same as before in the old good days... or nights

Their Facebook page says the entrance fee increases this year. So it's probably very new. But glad to hear that there were boys in December 

[Menaughty]

Hey everyone how safe it is to travel Solo to Spain especially for sexual stuff?

[young11]

after my disappointment in London, I had a quick trip to Barcelona and wanted to give an update. The sauna is open from 3pm to midnight and the entrance was increased to 20e, no one was wearing a mask, and I didn't. I was just a bit worried about getting omicron but we will see. I thought they would ask for the eu digital covid thing but they did not, so things were all good for me to enter and have fun.

Boys wise, slightly slower than my visit in August but I was quite lucky to have fun. I saw Junior right after my arrival at 5pm and just took him immediately for fun. Well he doesn't disappoint! Just like an energizer bunny haha After fun, we had a drink but as usual he has a language issue. But always pleasant and patient with google translate. I realized that he aged, I mean I met with him a few years back and there was the pandemic for 2 years, no surprise but in my mind, all these escorts are young forever....until you actually notice it one day haha

There was a columbian, a very new guy. After some rest, i had fun with him. He is gay, more top he says but he can kiss very well. He is quite tall, slim/toned but nice round ass (i am a bottom but i like bubble butt, i don't know why hahaha) He had a bit of english so it was easy to communicate. After him, I was just tired and left. He asked me to stay and socialize at the bar but i just didn't have any energy left. 

The sauna had some same people. The polish (?) guy who used to sleep there is still there...I always wondered how he makes business there. He is slim/average, not very good looking. There were quite a few Brazilians as usual and because of my first fun with Junior, they came to me one by one but none of them were my type (mostly the size down there was not a good choice and some just didn't have the body i like) The one that I remember is the average looking blond brazilian, he has been there quite some time but don't know his name. Another regular was the half japanese brazilian with huge p, and the rest I don't remember much. 

Out of sauna, I have my regular guy who gives me body-to-body so I had him one day. I also found a guy on grindr who wanted to have fun for 50e, which was also great. I was thinking about hiring at least one from online but just didnt have the time and energy. Overall quite happy but felt sad that I dont live there...

Angelo from Brazil (Santos) is back at Termas and he is a really good/honest person.  He’s an excellent first choice for many reasons and can provide direction to other quality working boys at Termas.  Likewise, there are definitely a few regulars to avoid at Termas.  
 

Angelo is known by the employees at Termas and he’s easy to find, if he’s working during your time there.  The bartenders know everything and will also assist with generous tipping   They won’t directly say anything bad about one of the boys, but if you watch the body language & facial expressions, you will get the information you need.  
 

my rule of thumb at Termas is the boys who are most aggressive when you first arrive are not the ones you want. I look for the boys that hang back, are not aggressive and have an easy rapport with customers & the other boys.

my preference is for friendly & hung South Americans vs the Eastern Europeans and the vast majority of my experiences have been excellent.  I spend time making sure the boy will have sex the way I want vs some undefined expectation on both ends.  
 

Termas is one of my very favorite places - can’t wait to go back.

I agree, I always enjoyed that place. Can you tell me a bit about angelo? I have probably seen him but I am not good with names, so body description would work. If you have pictures, you can send me via direct message. 

[Guest]

Angelos is about 5’10”, 170lbs, lean. & muscular, big smile, early 30s, crazy hair.  very friendly, funny & not pushy. A genuinely good guy & I’ve met him many times.  Beautiful dick - I’m guessing 8.5” and thick. Fucks w passion.  Ask anyone there for Brazilian Angelo and they will know exactly who you mean.  He’s been there for last 5 yrs minimum. Alternatively, I’ve had good experiences with muscled up Brazilian Gabriel w major endowment & Carlos a Cubano w at least 10”. Gabriel is a regular at Termas….not certain about Carlos, but if you can find him, he is spectacular & very sweet.

Do not be afraid to show the guys a video of your porn fantasy & see if they will do it.  Cuts right through the language problem quick & they understand exactly what you want.  I have some kinks that would ever translate, but showing them a the video does the job.

I’ve written comments here about never using a cell phone in a sauna.  I don’t routinely carry one in sauna and wouldn’t use it for calls, texting,,etc.  but I have used it in negotiations to show them what I want - then quickly put the phone away.  I love every bit of the sauna scene and don’t want to be distracted from those moments.

I don’t have permission to post his pics, so can’t do that

It's funny (or scary?) to read about a place I was last at 3 years ago (and first at over 15 years ago) and recognize the persons described. The Polish guy and the big-dicked Asian-Brazilian could ALMOST have landed me, but their pushiness on those occasions just turned me off. If only these guys know that hard-sell can be very counterproductive. (I have a reptilic "prey" instinct that tells me to scamper away fast from anything that wants me so badly.) Brazilian Gabriel, I believe, is the black, super-tall, stacked former porn star, and yes, a monstrous cock memorable even among the many big ones I have sampled. He wasn't the warmest, but he wasn't bad in the cabin.

I don't recognize Brazilian Angelo, despite his sounding like just my type. Cuban Carlos might be one half of the Cuban-Panamanian tag team that was probably the most combined cockage I ever had at one time.

Now ... consider that the guys might remember us and tag us the same way.
