To say the Steam Room is 'not working' is untrue.
The Steam Room is working fine, I was myself in there last night, and it was just the trick after a good training session. The Plunge Pool was 'refreshing'

What is the status of the Turkish Baths, in particular the steam room? I was in on Monday and it was working well: a nice constant gentle steam at a well regulated temperature
Then I was in on Tuesday and it was back to normal - not working

Simple: the steam piles in for a couple of minutes and makes the temperature almost unbearable. Then the steam turns off for around 30 minutes which means the room cools down to too low a temperature. This means that the steam is on for around 5% off the time, hence the comment "steam is rarely generated".
In a properly operating steam room, the steam is applied constantly (at a gentle rate) maintaining a nicely regulated temperature. If your unclear how it should work pop up to Bannatynes and check their steam room out.

Thanks you for the feedback BathSt2! Yes, the £12 deal is really good value if you don't have too much shopping left to do. Even if you do a Turkish is perfect for recovery after!
With regards to the memberships, if you just choose to swim and/or use the Turkish you can purchase a Swim Membership from as little as £14.00 going up to £28.00. The Swim Membership is very flexible and you are not tied into a minimum term contract.
Edinburgh Leisure are also looking into gym only and fitness class only memberships, although this is currently unavailable. This may be available in the future though. The £12 pass would give you full use of all our gyms, pools, fitness classes, Saunas, Steam Rooms and of course the Turkish. You can also use the Royal Commonwealth Pool with the pass.
In reposnse to Storky, if the Steam Room varies from cool to extremely hot, how can it be possible for Steam to be rarely generated? There was a fault with gauging the temperature, granted, but there have been no complaints with regards to the Turkish temperature since the work carried out to adjust steam output. If you could fill in a customer comment with any complaints that would be very helpful. If you see people pouring water on the detector, you should really report this as this is really not helpful and could be damaging to the system.
Thanks,
Portobello Swim Centre
