What’s inside Queeriosity Palace?

To continue my series of posts on Queeriosity Palace, let me now show you how this bathhouse is laid out on the inside.

Queeriosity Palace has two floors and the entrance coming in from F.B. Harrison Street is on the first floor. It’s the door located at the bottom of the floor plan above. Immediately inside is the registration area, and to the right is the bag and shoes deposit area. Further on is the safety deposit area then a toiletries area (where people can freshen up before leaving) and then the locker room.

From the locker area, you can then go on to the bar, the jacuzzi, the steam room, the lounge and the shower area. The lounge, which is surrounded by glass panels so that it’s visible from outside, used to be a closed-off area where a gym was planned to be put up by the original owner, but the new owners decided to turn this into a lounge where they put up occasional shows.

The shower area is certainly not for modest people since there are no dividers here—just two back-to-back rows of shower heads. If you want just a bit of privacy, the back row is a bit better but if you’re the exhibitionist, the front row is for you since it’s visible from the lounge.

To get to the second floor, there are two stairs available: the one beside the bar, and the one between the jacuzzi and the safety deposit box. I assume the latter stairs is for the people who opt to get one of the private rooms upstairs. I have never been inside any of the private rooms but I think each one has its own private CR. Also, one of the rooms is reserved for those who avail of the massage services provided by a couple of masseurs from Hilom.

If you didn’t opt to get one of the private rooms, there are 19 smaller rooms on the second floor and each one has a raised bed with a leather-covered mattress, and each one has its own light and exhaust fan that can individually be turned on. The second floor also has three shower cubicles (for the really modest though these cubicles don’t have any doors) and two toilets (of course with doors) at the far end. Towards the entrance side, there is an Internet cafe with three PCs and a TV room showing blue films.

I have to warn you that the second floor area where the public rooms are is a bit dark and is illuminated only by red floor lights. Most of the other areas have enough lighting. One nice touch in the bathhouse is that the floor of the bar and jacuzzi area is covered with small white pebbles giving the place a sort of tropical or spa-like feel (kinda). And if you’re wondering, the jacuzzi is cold.

So there. I know how it feels like feeling lost in a place (and it decreases your confidence levels) and so I hope that this post will help first-timers navigate the place. You’ll spend more cruising and less time getting lost. Hehehe. :-)

@TBR, oh, do you really go to bathhouses? I didn't think you were the type. :-P

Which is the best bathhouse to go on a week night, guys ?

@William, based on my experience, it seems F, E, and Q are good bets. Also remember that E has themed nights. :-)

@Anon, the entrance fee has an average of about 200 pesos. Annual membership is 200, I think, and it's 100 when renewing.

I can say Queeriosity is one of the cleanest bath houses in the Metro. I was a member for almost 2 years but decided to be inactive, when I entered a relationship. I will visit Q again tonight, and I hope it will be a fun night as always ;)

I just visited Q last Monday and had registration for the first time. I have several comments though.
1) The lounge and bar is to bright especially when you are only allowed there in towels.
2) The rooms in second floor, some don't have locks, some fans not working, some lights not working as well, most of the beds are already damaged and irritating.

But, at least I had sex with 2 cute guys and another 1 with an effem gay, I just had sex with him because I am already going home, so better share my blessings
