Enjoy 2 hours of facility use without treatments or 3 hours with treatments. As part of your session, you’ll enjoy access to the banya facilities, including the banya for warming up, a plunge pool for cooling down (6–8°C), showers, and a table in the lounge area for you to enjoy alone or with friends. As is typical for the banya, classic accessories are included in the price of your session: one pair of flip-flops, one towel, and one bath sheet. Traditional bath robes are also available to hire for a small fee. We recommend you save the towel until the end of your visit to dry off. Please use the bath sheet to wrap yourself and to cover the bench before sitting or lying down in the banya for hygiene purposes. If you require additional linen, there is a small extra charge: Sheet – £3.00 Towel – £3.00 Robe – £5.00 Hats are available to buy at the bar for £25.00

The temperature in the steam room is around 70 degrees with humidity of around 30%. This is hotter than a Turkish baths but cooler than in a typical sauna. The combination of heat and humidity produces a deep, relaxing heat.

The banya experience combines intense heat with cold immersion to deeply revitalise your body. The hot steam boosts circulation, relaxes muscles, and opens pores, while the cold plunge strengthens immunity, reduces inflammation, and leaves you feeling energised and refreshed. This natural reset for both body and mind is achieved through contrast sessions — up to 15 minutes in the banya followed by up to 2 minutes in the plunge pool. For a deeper experience, try the parenie ritual — a traditional banya steam and leaf massage that enhances detoxification and relaxation. A professional banshik expertly directs steam onto your body, deeply heating it for an unparalleled level of hot therapy and authenticity. Banshiki use multiple veniki (oak, birch, eucalyptus, clover, pine, and artemisia) creating a rich aromatherapy experience during the session. After your body is deeply warmed, your banshik guides you through the cooling process, which includes ice water buckets and an icy pool (6–8°C). Once complete, you feel energised and renewed. Recognised by the Touchless Wellness Association as the future of wellness.

On mixed days, swimwear is compulsory. If you forget to bring yours, swimsuits are available for purchase at The Bath House.

The classic banya hat is very fetching, we must say – is a great way to cool your head and protect your hair in the heat of the parilka (banya). Bring your own or we have some available for purchase.
