After a gap of 10 months since he last did a review of this joint (see Club Houzz Sauna 11), FuelMix dropped in mid-week about 8pm on a cool, damp and murky evening.

Well fags.........it's official.  FuelMix hereby withdraws his endorsement of Club Houzz Sauna.

Here's why:

1.  The twink on duty could barely speak English. That was not the case when the place first opened. The owners and the staff spoke very good English and notices were also in English. Not any more. Plus their new website is now predominantly in Chinese.

2.  The drinks cooler has stupidly been moved adjacent to the Reception counter.  So when the place goes Nude and a customer needs a free soft drink, he has to open the door and step out, thereby running into fully dressed incoming clientele.

3.  The previously well lit Locker Room now has one yellow spotlight that is hideous, impractical and annoying.  The Locker Room is dimly lit and just plain grim on entering.

4.  The previously immaculate shower area is grubby as is the wall with the towel racks.

5.  One shower head would only work in intermittent spurts because the control lever wouldn't hold. The shower next to it was out of commission because there was no control lever.

6.  The floor boards outside the shower area were soaking wet, with extensive puddles.  They were extremely slippery.

7.  There were no fresh towels on the rattan basket adjacent to the showers.  A dripping wet customer had to come down the steps and knock on the office door.

8.   The Management helpfully stuck a (very small) sign on the wall next to those steps.  From memory, the notice said something like, "Trip Over With Care" [sic]

9.  The squealing twink on duty was swapping spit with his favourite customer of the day.......

10.  The heated floor mats that did such a great job in January 2012, were only partially effective in November 2012.  Why more than half the floor area of the Dark Room was stone cold, isn't clear.

11.   The only trash bin was overflowing. 

12.   The clientele was off-the-scale Attitudinal Fugly.

Sadly, the initial allure of this place, about which FuelMix had earlier raved at some length, has evaporated.  The management of this place has definitely gone downhill and a regrettable EEEeeww factor has crept in.  

It's an amazing fall from grace from a venue that had so much star quality and potential when it first splashed onto the scene (which was not long ago) - but which now relies on silly gimmicks like rainbow coloured strobe lights on one of the (operating) shower heads.

Trojan Games

It's My Butt, Kid 2

“The nudity situation in the Castro has become extreme,”

-------Scott Weiner, San Francisco Board of Supervisors, "San Francisco Supervisors Approve a Ban on Public Nudity", The New York Times, 20 November 2012

Well, well, well......who woulda thought.....??? That most liberal of  uber-politically correct fucked up cities, finally kicked some ass, by getting people to cover theirs, effective 1 February 2013.

(Well.....not exactly...,..it will still be legal to show your ass, but not your balls. So if a bare assed fag  in leather chaps - he can claim the fashion exception -  is strutting downtown on a Tuesday afternoon and accidentally drops his Poppers, he'll have to kick the bottle all the way to the dungeon or risk a fine if he bends down to pick it up).

In earlier posts, It's My Butt, Kid and It's My Butt Again, FuelMix commented on the antics and mentality of predominantly middle aged males in the Castro district (formerly saturated with gays but now more family-friendly) going around butt-naked (or should that be flab-clad...?) much to the annoyance of the mixed demographic.

Receiving world-wide media coverage, there are some exceptions to the ban that allow public nudity. They include bare buttocks as part of fashion,  SF Gay Pride and the (notorious) Folsom Street Fair, a leather and fetish street party where pretty much anything goes in broad daylight.

Now if they could only stop the fully dressed unwashed public from pissing and shitting on the sloped streets.............tiptoe through Tenderloin in the evenings (there used to be a super-cruisy gay porn cinema there with cum stains all over the place 2 filthy toilets straight out of a Dick Wadd movie and a backroom) and you'll see why.

Just wanted to drop you a line: 

Went to Hutong last night(fri) and stayed till about 4am! Simply the best sauna in HK to date….if they can just keep the smokers away from smoking on premises (including their own staff smoking at the reception)…... then it is just perfect..

 Guys are of average to good quality... it turned into no towels later in the evening.. which was excellent…. the only complaint I have is that the water in the jacuzzi tube is not warm enough….. and there is no water to wash hands in the lockers area…. so for someone like me who wear contacts, very hard to take it out and put it in as the only bathroom is downstairs in the play area.. 

Overall very satisfied…...

Hi

I’ve been to Hong Kong for the first time last week and while researching the web on which sauna to go to in HK, I came across your blog. This is well written and great stuff – congratulations.

I’m a GWM from Germany, 41 years old, regular in the gym, so I guess I’m in quite good shape.

After reading some of the reviews and considering the fact that I like Asian muscle boys, I thought let’s try Hutong Sauna as the re-incarnated Double.

I went on a Friday evening around 10 pm. The place is quite hard to find (especially for a European tourist), the entrance is on Fife street, there is a bell with a camera on the door outside.

I had to pay HKG 138 and they let me in without a problem. The locker area is quite small, but I think this is normal for HK saunas. The place was packed; I’d say at least 50-70 guys there. Mostly Asians, mostly locals but also some tourists (met an Asian guy from US, later when I left spotted another white guy apart from me). On the same level as the lockers, there is a TV lounge with some food (bananas, tomatoes and nuts), a smoking lounge and a porn lounge. There is also an alley with private rooms which they rent out at HKG 150 per hour (I saw nobody using those).

Then you can go downstairs and there is a wet area with showers, a dry sauna, a steam room and a whirlpool. The steam sauna was too dark for my taste, but otherwise I found the wet area well designed and well-lit. I also liked the free supply of small towels to dry your feet when leaving the wet area. Everything was very new and clean and the water pressure was just fine.

Downstairs you can also find the dark area / cruising area with cabins. The dark area is quite large with many cubicles (I’d say about 20, some of them quite large and comfortable). Also plenty of supply of free condoms and lube. I found the layout and lighting really good, also in the rooms you have individual dimmable lighting to your preference.

As I said before, the place was packed, and for my taste, the guys there were amazing. Mostly Asian and younger than me (20-40), some pumped-up muscle guys, but mostly normal to lightly gym-toned bodies. I was quite popular with the crowd there and for me this was the best sauna experience in a long time (in Europe, the average age of sauna-goers is much higher and you see a lot more guys fucked up on drugs).

I thought I’d share this review with you and thus being the first to review Hutong Sauna. I loved the place - and I felt welcome as a European tourist. Maybe they still have a discriminating door policy, but I didn’t see anybody being rejected while I came or left the club.

Hope this is of any value and I’d love to see my review posted on the blog.

Cheers
Ralf

Hi fuelinjectedmale,

After reading your blog on the different sauna in and around Mong Kok, I decided to give Alexander a go.  They are now clearly labelled the entrance fee is HK$150.

It is a Monday (12/11/2012) afternoon around 1.30 when I arrived.  The place looked as it was in the process of being cleaned.  It was rather quiet but I did managed to get my arse fucked a couple of times.  About 2 to 2.30(ish), the steam room and dry sauna came on and by around 3.30, more people turned up.  However as more people arrived, the younger one started to develop a slight attitude problem, as i already had a few cock up me, it did not brother me.

The clientele are all Chinese (including myself), and after being there i feel rather satisfied with my own 6 inch cock, as i always thought it is a myth about Chinese guys have small cocks but it is true.  I am usually a potatoes queen, have a German boyfriend and live in the UK.  Therefore my past encounters are mainly westerners and this certainly opened my eyes and I definitely prefer westerners' bigger cocks ( like to be stretched and a proud size queen).

The other thing bugged me about the place is the creaky floor boards in the dark room area, though free replacement towels are good.

If I have to give a score out of ten, I would give it 5 out of 10.  It did not take long for me to get into action, but staff are not the friendliest one, and the attitude issue slightly dampened my experience.

Lastly, thank you for your wonderful and insightful blog.

Regards,
Vinny x

Thank you for the feedback and the update. 

Whilst you're right that there is a label on the Reception Desk saying HK$150.00 not everyone pays that much.  If a customer is holding a 6-visit card, then on each visit, he would pay HK$130.00 with the 7th visit being free.  A new 6-visit card would then be issued. Since you live in the UK and they hadn't seen you before, they automatically charged you the full rate.  Whether different people should be charged different rates in the same sauna is an issue that has already been raised in this blog.

It's healthy to admit you're a size queen.  Let's not forget many westerners have little weenies too. Having seen them in their native swamps, FuelMix hoots with laughter when he reminisces about 6 foot plus dudes with 4 inch dicklettes.
