Over the years, I have never seen any clearly visible sign at the entrance or inside the venue stating that photos or videos are forbidden in the bar or on the dance floor. The only exception has always been for naked parties, where the rule is clearly and repeatedly displayed, which is appropriate. Outside of that context, recording the general atmosphere has never been an issue in the past. During a non-naked party, I was told in a raised and aggressive manner by a staff member (a DJ) to stop filming and to delete a short video of the general atmosphere, despite not having seen any visible signage. I was told the rule was posted at the entrance, but this was something I had never noticed in years of coming to the venue. The way this was handled relied on authority and intimidation rather than respectful communication. The interaction felt unnecessarily hostile and reflected a clear lack of basic communication competence. A calm explanation would have been sufficient. Reading other reviews afterward, I noticed that similar remarks about rude, dismissive, or authority-driven staff behaviour appear repeatedly, suggesting this is not an isolated experience. Separately, and again in line with numerous other reviews, hygiene is a recurring issue. Based on multiple visits: there is no regular cleaning of the toilets during parties, toilet paper and hand paper are often missing, strong and persistent odours are common in the toilets, darkrooms are dirty and frequently smell strongly, darkroom areas lack basic amenities such as water points. Compared with similar venues in other European cities, hygiene and maintenance standards feel noticeably lower. Finally, during naked parties, I have personally experienced or observed staff behaviour that felt sexually intrusive and overly familiar, again relying on their position of authority rather than explicit consent or appropriate professional boundaries. Given that these staff members also control access to the venue, this creates an uncomfortable power dynamic. Other reviews describe similar discomfort. The venue can be socially enjoyable, but unclear rules, reliance on authority over respectful communication, recurring hygiene problems, and boundary issues significantly detract from the experience. These points recur across independent reviews and deserve to be addressed. As is often the case, one can already anticipate the kind of generic or defensive response this review may receive — which, in itself, may say something about how such feedback is handled.
