Steamul Sauna Richmond Hill

Being big sauna enthusiasts, my friends and I recently checked out this place in spite of the mixed reviews online, hearing that it has come under new management. We regretted it almost immediately, and I dont see us returning. The pros are that there are two saunas, the owner is quite friendly and personable, and there is ample showers and room to relax. The cons are everything else. The towels and bathrobes are old, have holes and are in general too small. The food they provide is nothing special, and the menu was just a stained piece of paper. The woman out front kept pressuring us to order quickly and to order additional items we didnt want. We ordered some lard and bread, asked for it to be served as soon as possible, and had to cancel our order when it wasnt served after 30 minutes of waiting. The steam room was cold and took a very long time to heat up. The cold pool has a strange odour and didnt look to be regularly cleaned. Also one of the ice buckets had a rope missing. There wasnt tea readily available - we had to ask the woman out front for tea and it took 10 minutes. Most other places just have tea out that the patrons can take and make themselves, with readily available hot water. There was no refrigerator for our own food and drinks, like other saunas have. There was also a woman staff member during men’s day which made it uncomfortable as mens days are clothing optional. She was also unwelcoming and standoffish. There are two saunas but they are quite small so I would avoid coming on weekends. So far, I cant recommend this place. If you are interested, there are other better saunas available in the area.

I just LOOOVE this sauna. It has a cozy feeling like if it is your own home. Wood burning stoves give not only a great quality of steam but also a nice smell as if you are somewhere out in the woods. The owners are VERY agreeable and likable people – they will fulfill any request and always make sure you feel comfortable. It’s always clean, peaceful, and relaxing there. They have women's only days and it is SOO cool :-)(pun intended) We can use our "witch remedies" like honey scrab, salt for skin, oil water for nice smell, and even color our eyebrows :-) So it is an evening truly for girls. I personally enjoy it so much that I even hold my menopause lectures there every two weeks – the atmosphere is just perfect for gathering, learning, and recharging. And there are always sincere and warm girl's talks about everything that important to you at the moment. If you love sauna as much as I do – come and experience it for yourself. Honestly, it’s really wonderful!

Discovered this sauna on Google and decided to visit - I was so surprised with the amazing quality of the traditional banya! I have never had such a good feeling before! Alex was a great host - he provided us with clean robe, towels, personal locker with lock, sandals, and showed us how to properly experience a traditional wood burning sauna. We even got to try the sauna whisk aka "venik" the one where you do a sort of heating massage with the tree branches inside the banya. Honestly, I recommend everyone to try this experience! I feel so good after, my blood circulation improved, and I can feel my skin being clearer. I am a beginner in this health and wellness field, however I am now becoming a usual at this location! Thank you Steamul for the good vibes, here's to many more years steaming together! I recommend this sauna for all to try! Thank you!

This is our favourite traditional wood burning sauna in Richmond Hill! The wood banya is best quality - hot and cozy! Helps relieve stress and relax from a long week! We have been coming here weekly for the past 5 years now! Very clean establishment, friendly and professional staff and friendly owner. They have great snacks and good draft beer on tap! Open late everyday! Karaoke and guitar playing on the weekends! Come for the hot steam sauna and stay for the good company!

The best wood burning traditional sauna in Toronto! We have been coming here with a group of friends every week for a good time. We come here for the health benefits and stay for the good company. Everything here is top class and feels nostalgic and reminds of home. Alex is a very genuine person and takes good care of the facility. If you want to experience a real natural sauna in Toronto, this is the place to go. I highly recommend!
