  "I visited Adam last month in a business trip. Though place is a little small and old, I really loved the atmosphere over there. Great attitude from both the owner and staff. The weekend I was in Hanoi, 3 days in a row I visited. Quite many young and 30s men were there." -- Gphy, Dec 9, 2009

  "The owners and staff are very kind and friendly. The place is very clean and nice decoration. Many cute and young guys come to the sauna on the weekend. They are very open and wild. I had a lot of fun here." -- harryboy, Nov 15, 2009

  Comments from Utopians:

  "At first, I felt uncomfortable as it is dark there and the temperatures in dry sauna and steambath are not hot enough. There are old and young clients that day. Contrary to what I thought about Hanoian guys, they are open. I met a young, in-shape man who was about 25. We had a good talk and a lot of fun. Staff there are rather silent and shy. But it is ok. In sum, it is a cozy place for visiting." -- t4walter, Sep 23, 2009

  "This place is way out of the center. Not so many guys there on Sun mid-afternoon when I went. It got busier after 6pm. The sauna is on five levels. The open style showers are on the top level. Staff seem a bit shy." -- Shufti, Aug 27, 2009

  "Easy to find and very welcoming. Facilities are fine, although the change room is a bit small when there are too many people. There is a dry sauna and a steam room, and a nice open shower area. The crowd on a Sun afternoon was good and a good mixture of friendly (and cute) guys." -- bayman974, Aug 6, 2009

  "It is very near the five star DaeWoo Hotel. Open daily from 10am-11pm. The busiest time is from 5-9pm with many local guys. Entry is D$55,000 (or D$20,000 for those 22yo or younger)." -- guy_in_hanoi, Jun 3, 2009

  "Visited GoGoClub twice now. Clean, cozy and both times had fun with locals." -- Dragonedin, Mar 15, 2009
