Below is our visitor guide to The Bathhouse Albion: how the facilities work, what a typical session looks like, what it costs, how to get there and which saunas are nearby if you want to compare options.

The traditional sauna at The Bathhouse Albion is the stove-and-stones kind, which heats the air of the whole room. It feels hotter and more enveloping than infrared, so it suits people who enjoy a strong sweat and a proper cool-down between rounds. If you are new to it, sit lower down, where the air is cooler, and build up gradually.

The Bathhouse Albion offers infrared sauna sessions. Instead of heating the air with a stove, infrared panels warm your body directly, so the cabin stays at a gentler 45–65°C. Sessions tend to be longer, often 30 to 45 minutes, and many people find it easier to relax in than a hot Finnish room. Infrared rooms are usually private or semi-private.

Expect The Bathhouse Albion to run on booked sessions, often 60 to 120 minutes, with towels and lockers either included or available to hire, so check when you book. Once inside, there is no set order: most people warm up in the sauna or steam, cool off in the plunge, then rest or soak in the warm water before repeating. Bathhouses attract everyone from first-timers to daily regulars, so follow the room's lead on noise, keep the benches dry with a towel, and give each space its time rather than rushing between them.

• Heat rises, so the top bench of a traditional sauna is noticeably hotter than the bottom one. Choose your level accordingly.
• Infrared sessions are longer and drier than you might expect. Bring water and a towel to sit on.
• Keep your first ice bath short: 30 seconds to a minute is plenty. Breathe slowly through the cold shock.
• Drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and leave the heat straight away if you feel dizzy or unwell.
• Check what The Bathhouse Albion provides, such as towels, robes, lockers and toiletries, so you know what to pack.

Saunas and cold water are not for everyone. If you are pregnant or have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure or another medical condition, ask your doctor first.
