Saunaday

I went to Saunaday for my first time with a group of girlfriends, and it was so fun! The design is spectacular, we were greeted warmly, the staff were professional, and we loved the fun atmosphere. I was able to connect with one of the owners, Roshelle, on my way out, and it’s so fun to see her vision come to life! Yay for having this gem of a bathhouse in Madison for all of us to enjoy!

My husband and I booked a private suite for our first wedding anniversary, and it was truly exquisite. The space is beautifully designed with super high-end finishes and is so thoughtfully planned down to every little detail. It’s clear a lot of care went into creating a serene and luxurious experience. One of the highlights for me was being able to adjust the temperatures in our private suite. I loved being able to bring up the plunge pool a few degrees since the main one in the bathhouse was a bit too cold for my liking. That kind of customization made it feel extra special and comfortable. If I were to make any suggestions, I’d love to see an option for shorter time frames in the suites, along with adding more hot soaks and including them as part of the main experience rather than as an upgrade. Maybe add a small sign reminding guests to limit their soak time so everyone gets a chance to enjoy. Overall, a phenomenal experience: elegant, peaceful, and perfectly suited for a special occasion or just some needed relaxation. We’ll absolutely be back.

I had the most incredible experience at Saunaday! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was calm, welcoming, and intentional. The facilities are top-notch: cedar salt-scrub showers, traditional Finnish saunas, steam room, cold-plunge pool, and cozy lounge areas make it feel like a modern wellness sanctuary. The self-guided ritual design was perfect, it meant I could move at my own pace, relax & recharge. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the complimentary towels, filtered water, clean locker rooms and thoughtful amenities made everything easy and comfortable. I walked out feeling cleansed, calm, and rejuvenated! If you’re looking for a place to unplug, rewind, and treat yourself to full-body + mind renewal, Saunaday is a gem. I’ll definitely be back and certainly recommending it to friends!

We had an overall great time. The facilities are very nice, and we enjoyed the hot soak that we added on. I do wish there were hot soak options on a 2 hour schedule vs 3 as the extra hour made the experience feel a little long. I didn't like being asked to tip at the end of our time, either. This is a premium experience and being asked to tip made me feel like I was I was at a coffee shop. If your employees need tips to make their wages livable, I'd rather you just make that into the price instead of being asked to up bill at the end.

I had a fantastic time at Saunaday. I left feeling so freshed. I have to admit I was nervous at first being in a public bathhouse but I was so comfortable by the end because this place is just serene. I'm very much an amateur when it comes to saunas and cold plunges but I became very acclimated after my time here. I love that it's a phone-free zone and everyone is so pleasant to be around. The staff are diligent as well. It's immaculately clean. The steam sauna was my favorite part. This is also a great gift to give someone who needs some relaxation. It's such a great spot to have in Madison. I can't wait to go back!

I was really excited to go to saunaday and for the most part it's great. I love that Madison has something like this and want it to stick around. I wish I'd known that it was very social and probably would have adjusted my reservation time accordingly. I thought it was too loud for me. For those of us who work during the week, it'd be nice if there was a specific weekend time of the month that was also quiet hours.

I love going to Saunaday and have gone a handful of times since they opened. I especially like the morning to start the day off quietly on a retreat day. I have seen them be responsive to feedback such as now offering complimentary wet shoes which are a must for safety. I especially love the Steam Sauna! Docked a star for 2 reasons: 1. Can't believe the Hinoki soaks are not part of the regular booking. I would go more often if they were but for now I just take a soak at home. 2. They ask for shoes to be taken off in the lobby instead of by the lockers, which meant I was walking barefoot across the lobby which was gross, before putting my socks/shoes back on.
