"hey everyone, don't post much but my Mrs has jut said today she would like to try a swinging club just to see what the atmosphere is like and I read a lot of reviews on it but from what I can tell it's very unclean, used condoms everywhere, bad smells and stuff, and the odd guy that can't take no for an answer, from what I can see the only positive reviews are from staff members and people who are friends with management/staff So my question is to un-biased couples/single females, what is it really like in there?" Like every club, you'll never get two nights the same. People are disgusting, I've seen used condoms in nearly every club I've visited. It's not just LC. I can honestly say I've never had a problem at this club. Yes there can be some guys that follow you about but once you've told them where to sling it, they are respectful. I cannot comment on the smells, not noticed any myself when I have been there. And hand on heart the regulars have always welcomed me and invited me into their conversations. It is by far one of the nicer clubs for atmosphere I have been to.  | |||

"Everyone has different opinions of different clubs, La Chambre isn't perfect but we also haven't been to any other that is either. If you go on a saturday you don't have to be concerned about single men. The only way you will ever know is to go and try it and make your own opinions and then try it again lol because no two nights are ever the same " | |||

"You can't folt the staff but the place is now desperately in need of a refurb the dungeon stinks . As for single men they seem to think any woman is fair game and some can get very agresive . This is one resone we no longer go to lc even on couple nights single guys get in its a shame the place was once a good spot to go" Single guys don't get in saturdays, it's couples and single ladies only. | |||

"We have been members for around 18 months and attend on a regular basis. We go Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Never had a problem with single guys. I (Kez) don't play with single guys and have always found them respectful when I mention that they are not what we are there for. Have not ever seen anyone wearing a hoodie lol. The dungeon does smell a little fusty at times, due to it being in the cellar. Bodies also emit natural odour - it is a sex club. We all have different tastes. The only way to find out if you like it yourself is to go and try it. " | |||

"....... and as if by magic a favorable review appears ..... If you read them all back every time someone says something against this (and other) clubs you get a band of their cronies bigging it up, why can't clubs just address the items raised in reviews instead of trying to whitewash every time " It is not at all "white washed". I don't know you and you don't know me. We are all entitled to our own opinion - and mine was to go and make your own mind up. I read your post and had a little flash back - you said almost exactly the same about the club a long time ago in the "club reviews" section on here. | |||

There was a very keen observation noted by another poster too, when you have sex it's creates sweat therefore body odour, lots of people having sex for a length of time will create a natural odour can't be helped the staff can't exactly give each room a full clean down after every session, a quick freshen up of the room is all time allows during a club night, same as a cellar smelly musty can't be helped much either, that should be an obvious and logical observation. | |||

Seriously though...
You can't please all the people all the time and there will be different views.
We have only attended LC twice on a Friday, both were good party nights. Yes we got followed around a bit by single men, but they weren't pushy and I actually found it rather amusing.
With the membership thing... Just ring and ask when it's due, then set a reminder in your phone and ask for proof when you pay. Sorted

"Well well.... as far as I was aware memberships were available until they ran out, could this be their way of saying they don't want anyone at the club who dares to speak the truth?????? I haven't been on site long enough to reply in the forum so here will have to do. The couple writing the latest review are completely unaffiliated with the club, the owners and staff. I would know, I checked their ID and signed them up. Could you also please PM me your membership number or contact the club somehow so we can ensure your membership does not get renewed as you wont be returning? Thanks Sarah (Friday night barmaid) Actually Chatterfab I was being helpful and advising you that your comments about the latest reviewers were incorrect. Also thank you for posting the content of a private message, that is against forum rules on this site" I was unaware of this and for that I apologise, however you did say you were unable to post it on the forums and would have done so had you been able. | |||

As I hadn't been a fab member for sufficient time to use the forums so I responded in a private message pointing out the assumption was incorrect and that I could vouch for that. I also tried to help ensure that there wouldn't be any erroneous membership updates for her as she has indicated she wont be returning and no doubt does not wish to receive such information. Next time I wont try to be helpful | |||

"You are commenting regarding a private party where the organiser hired the club, the people who attended where nothing to do with the club and where not members of the club hence , A PRIVATE PARTY. La Chamber would have provided the bar staff for this event, everything else is down to the PRIVATE PARTY ORGANISER. If you had and problem with cleaning issues did you report it to the La Chamber staff ?????? " I'm not sure why you are so upset at what was my experience of the club, I'm only stating what I saw, smelled and experienced. As for asking the staff to clean it, I'm afraid it would have taken quite a few days to achieve an even basic standard of hygiene. I would have thought that if hiring out the club for a private event, it would have been spotless at two in the afternoon but sadly, it wasn't and it was blatantly obvious that it hadn't been cleaned properly for many, many months. The layer of sticky on the stair rail could have been scraped off with a knife. I attend some swinging and f e et clubs that have seen better days but they all have one thing in common; they are clean, and if I hire a club for an event, I check to see if it has been cleaned and if it hasn't, the owner does not get my money until it has. If I do point out a problem, they are only too pleased to rectify it and not attack me for finding fault in the first place. It's La Chambre by he way. | |||

The staff in question on that day would have rectified the sticky handrail (likely from messy hands from the organisers buffet based on my experience of working those events) and cleaned the toilets etc. Unfortunately too many of our visitors and members stay quiet about issues and complain after the fact, at which point there's nothing we can do. Example, on Friday a gent approached me to say the towels to wipe up had run out in a certain room. They were replaced. Previously other people have noticed the used up consumable items, said nothing and complained at the lack of cleaning roll on fab or elsewhere. | |||

No one is upset, but what you are saying is not true, the club was clean before opening, we know this for a fact because we also attended the same event as you say you did. It was a Tuesday afternoon and was held the last Tuesday of the month, we also know the organiser of the event and would not have asked for the doors to be open if the club was in the state you claim it be in . We are not disputing your opinion and if the club is not for you the that's ok, we do wonder why your comments regarding something that was over two years ago is relevant, you are not concidering the fact that something's may have changed over the past years. Our main point in our post is about if there is a problem, report it to staff at the time, not as in your case over two years after the event. | |||

Well then, we will have to agree to disagree, I guess my standards of hygiene are much, much higher than most expect but I do like a clean toilet to sit on. | |||

I was there at the start of the event and the sort of sticky I'm referring to to is a layer of ingrained dirt built up over a long time. I was able to sink a thumbnail in it. Of course it's daft to complain of consumables running out when they are readily replaced if asked for, my observations were of the basic infrastructure of the club and the lack of attention to cleanliness in the very fabric of the building. I'll pop back at some point to see if things have improved then I can eat my words. | |||

There was this little angry looking guy(one of the aforementioned t-shirt/jeans/scruffy trainers brigade) that kept arguing and shouting at his partner. I went over and had a word with security that the guy was hammered and needed removing.
Nothing was done.
20 minutes later the female half of couple we had brought with us was upside down on the pole and the little angry guy reared up to jump onto the pole with her. I spotted him at the last minute and managed to block him. He got angry, again, but seeing as I was twice his size he just walked off. The male half of the couple we were with went over to security and complained seeing as the little guy could well have given his wife a very serious injury.
Nothing was done.
30 minutes later I popped out to the smoking area from the upstairs exit and heard loads of "Holy shit that was crazy!" "What's up with him?" etc from the downstairs part. Wandered down to see what was happening and the little angry guy was being removed. Finally. I have no idea what he must have done to be finally kicked out.
We haven't been back. | |||

Ask yourself a question: Why would I make that up? Why would I waste ten minutes of my time typing out a lie?
Look through our post history (click the little green arrow beside my name) and show me where there is anything remotely like this. It's not like I woke up this morning and thought "Hey...I've never given a club a bad review in my life...I know I'll select one at random..."
Look through the club reviews, pretty much every club has glowing reviews besides LC. So either there is some huge conspiracy (that I'm actually part of) to badmouth the club or there is actually a problem there.
Maybe...just maybe tackling the problem instead of sticking your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes, stamping your feet whilst saying "No...no...no" might result in better reviews. | |||
"We used to go quite regularly a few years ago and at one time was our favourite club simply down to how friendly the clientele were. We've met some cracking couples there over the years. We noticed the standards slipping around mid-late 2013. Ripped mattresses, a musty smell but worst of all the standard of dress code that was being allowed. The final straw was NYE 2013. NYE parties in any club we've attended usually range from full-on blacktie to just 'dress smarter than usual'. That night there were so many guys just wearing t-shirt/jeans/scruffy trainers combo. One guy in particular was wearing white tracksuit bottoms and flip flops

This is just not True I was there that night "We were there that night too and can say categorically that we didn't see any of the events described.....and in case anyone is wondering the only connection we have with LC is that we are regular attendees who regularly have a great time. | |||

"Why did I raise it now? I saw the thread, the thread is new, I posted. You say you don't recall the issue, were you the only security on that night? If so, who the hell was I reporting it to? If you weren't the only one, maybe whoever it was I did say it to never told you about it. Their reason? No idea. I have relayed things exactly as they happened, I have zero reason to lie, I have nothing to gain. We've been going to clubs nearly ten years now. We've been to VA, Libs, Xtasia, Chams, Atlantis, Adventures(RIP) (and others I'm probably forgetting) and have nothing negative to say about our time spent at any of them. Look at threads where people complain about other clubs; the owners come here and give quite decent replies and reassure potential clientele that previous problems will be sorted. You just deny, deny, deny and make out that people have some grudge against the club. It reflects badly on the club and will serve to deter people who were thinking of attending. " From our point of view - as fairly new customers (this night was before we joined up), the club must have changed since then for the better. We wouldn't attend if it is still like you described. x | |||

"HornybobBuilder with his all seeing eye.... Maybe the guy didn't get kicked out (that actually makes it worse to be honest as he was barely able to stand by the end of the night) as the last I saw of him he was being taken away from the smoking area by a security guy." A sight you see most nights in any given weekend in major town centre bars.....could this just be a one off altercation that has not since been repeated and is being blown out of proportion...im sure no one would want to brand anyone a liar on here | |||
