I was working in Cologne this last weekend, so took the opportunity to revisit Samya. Located on an industrial around 25 minute south of Cologne, it's really easy to get to using the No. 16 tram from the main central station. I've been to Samya a number of times over the years, but not since Covid. So I was intrigued to see how things had returned to normal.
The only worry was that my general feeling was that service and quality had deteriorated every visit I've made, to the point where I'm questioning whether it's actually worth the money and time.
I arrived on a Saturday night around 10pm. Usually a very busy time for the club and tonight was no exception. But it was fine, not too busy to be uncomfortable and the party was in full swing. It was a boiling hot evening in Cologne, so a lot of people were spending more time than usual outside. There is a terraced area by the main restaurant, and a smaller one upstairs.
Entry is now 60 euros, and you're given your robe, slippers and a towel at reception before heading downstairs to stash personal belongings in a locker. The facilities are pretty good at Samya, generally nice and clean and the staff are really customer focussed.
I headed up to the bar area, storing my cash in a the small lockers there (now on the opposite side to my last visit) and went to get a beer (beer and soft drinks are free).
First impressions are that there are enough good looking girls there to keep everyone happy. Different shapes and sizes, different looks etc but I'd say the quality of the girls is lower than it used to be. It's hard to guess, but I reckon there were probably 50 girls on duty, of which most would turn your head in the street, but only 1 or 2 were actually a 8 or 9/10. Most a solid 6/7.
I took my time to have a beer and the odd girl wandered by, but there was a real absence of any character/personality or charm from anybody. It was so cold and transaction - "let's go upstairs" "do you want to xxx". Looking around that was a common theme for the vast majority of girls and guys, no chat, no flirting and nobody putting in any effort. A few girls were the exception, but they were always with the same people - presumably regular contacts and/or high spenders...so I don't blame them.
Now, I've been to Samya a number of times and considered myself street wise and switched on. But I really let my guard down with punt 1, perhaps because it was familiar surrounds, perhaps the beer...who knows.
Esa/Isa
I was approached by a young blonde - her name was Isa or Esa - sat down, asked if I wanted to go upstairs and I spoke with her about what I was looking for. Which on this occasion was OWO, facial and if we could do all of that outside on the terrace even better. She confirmed that was all fine and it would be 100 euros for 30 minutes. Alarm bells should have been ringing when she insisted on payment upfront, but as I'd not been for ages I stupidly didn't question it. Once she had the money, she then also lost the ability to speak any English and nothing that we'd agreed on was seemingly available - or even understandable. She proper hustled me and I felt a complete mug. She delivered the most unenthusiastic blowjob, wouldn't do it outside, and no facial available. Kept making random noises to avoid having to answer a question in English - like she couldn't understand. I nearly went to the front desk to complain, but I didn't really have the confidence. The staff at Samya are great but not knowing the personal relationships in the club, I always think it's better to learn the lesson than create a scene. I'd avoid at all costs.
Marina
By contrast, Marina spoke great English. She's an escort who'd been working in London for a time and other clubs in Germany apparently - although she was very reluctant to talk about them. She was very business like, little personality and it was functional. We agreed on OWO (I tried to keep it simple this time!) and went to the room. Again 100 euros for 30 minutes. She had a great body, and could have been a much better punt if she was more personal. She delivered a perfectly good blowjob and let me take her from behind with gusto. But had zero interest in talking. Even answering one question with 'I don't want to talk in the room'. So it was great from a physical point of view, mind numbing from a personality perspective.
Claudia
It was getting late, and I nearly cut my losses and went home but I spotted Claudia (I think that was her name anyway) and we went up to the room. This time I just went for a standard 50/30, which she was pretty pissed off about. Constantly asking why I didn't want to pay her 100 for 30 minutes as 'that's what most girls get'. By this point, I was bored by the whole place, so just asked her to get on all fours and took her from behind. It was fine, enjoyable I guess, but again nothing that I'd bother to repeat. She then complained afterwards that taking her from behind had messed up her hair. I mean, honestly!
So overall, not a great experience. Sitting in the bar watching the girls walk around is fun. They mostly have great bodies, but it's gone downhill. There was no dancing from any of the girls (when I last went they used to do big group dances in a circle with nearly every girl involved). This time, it was just so flat. Being on my own on this occasion, I had more time than usual to watch goings on. And I was relieved to see that it wasn't just me seemingly have a hard time of it. I saw guys - pretty normal and respectable - practically having to beg some girl to go to a room. Sitting next to a girl to start a conversation for her to look away and ignore him.
Some girls didn't seem to ever go to a room and turned down dozens of people over a number of hours. How are they making money? Why are they there?
I think the money spent (60 entry, 2 x 100 and 1 x 50) would be much better spend with a girl to the hotel room. Or maybe I'll try another FKK somewhere else. But for now, I think my dance with Samya is done :-)
