Note

I pay for every visit; no venue pays for coverage. Facts marked "first-hand" come from my own visits and have no second source.

I have been going to Villa 166 for about twelve years. In that time nobody has ever tried to overcharge me, which is more than I can say for my own estimates of how long I will stay. Prices are fixed house rates, the same for every lady, and nobody haggles on either side.

Where it is and how to get in

Villa 166 is in Kreis 3. The nearest tram stop is Lochergut, on lines 2 and 3, about 150 metres away. The house sits back from the street behind a forecourt with free parking.

Open in Google Maps

Walk down the short lane to the door with two large stone lions beside it, and ring the bell. There is a small smoking corner by the door (first-hand). Entry is free at Villa 166⁠ (one source checked), and I have never paid at the door (first-hand).

How to book, and why you should

The venue's website shows the ladies working this week. Pick two or three who appeal to you, then tap the WhatsApp button and ask for them by name. Reception answers with now, later or not today, and they handle last-minute requests all day. "Who is free now?" works too.

When you arrive at the agreed time, you go straight to the room with the lady you chose (first-hand). Reception speaks German and English, and often Spanish or Hungarian (first-hand).

Without a booking, you wait on a couch and the ladies who are free come to say hello one by one; the house calls it the "presentación" (first-hand). It works, but you get whoever is free at that moment. I tried to be spontaneous for years. These days I book, like a man who has finally learned to reserve a table.

What it costs

Villa 166 house rates by length of stay
TimePrice
15 minutes≈ CHF 100
30 minutes≈ CHF 110
1 hourCHF 150

In the room you say how long you want to stay and pay her directly. The price covers the standard service at the venue; anything beyond it is agreed with her before you start. Stay three hours and you pay three times the hourly rate, still less than two hours cost at most of the clubs we list.

Cash is easiest. There is a cash machine inside (first-hand), and a card or Twint payment costs CHF 10⁠ (one source checked) more.

The house and its rules

  • Open every day, around the clock. It is the only club or brothel we list that never closes.
  • A receptionist is always there (first-hand).
  • The rooms are plain but clean, with air conditioning, heating and a shower. Condoms are provided (first-hand).
  • You may smoke in the room (first-hand).
  • The house serves cola, and guests may bring their own drinks (first-hand).

Be a good guest

Before anything starts, ask her what she is comfortable with and what she is not, and keep to it. If it is not a match, say so to reception before you begin, not after. They will find someone who suits you better, with no fuss.

Take your time in the hour. Talk a little and be friendly; it makes the visit better for both of you. Some ladies are more party-friendly than others, and reception can tell you who.

When to go

Friday and Saturday nights are busy. On a weekday the house can be so quiet that you have the whole line-up to yourself (first-hand). Most ladies work late and start late, so late afternoon to night has the widest choice. Early afternoon is calmer, with fewer ladies (first-hand).

Very early in the morning or very late at night, send a WhatsApp first so you do not ring the bell for nobody.

The downsides

  • Walk-in choice is hit or miss. Book ahead and the problem goes away.
  • The rooms are decent, not luxurious. You pay for time, not for décor.
  • Weekend nights can mean a wait.

Compared with other venues

Two hours here, with one lady or two in turn, cost about what one hour costs at Soprano Club, CHF 300, or at Club12, CHF 300. Club Maxim comes closer in the daytime at ≈ CHF 199⁠ (one source checked), but only until 21:00. A sauna club like Club Swiss suits a guest who wants a sauna and a whirlpool more than a private room.

Is Villa 166 a good choice for a first visit?

Yes. Prices are fixed and published, reception is always there, and nobody pushes you. Book ahead and you skip the only awkward part, the walk-in line-up.

Do I need to book?

No, you can walk in at any hour. Booking on WhatsApp is still the better way, because you choose the lady first instead of hoping she is free.

How do I pay?

You pay her directly in the room, at the house rate. Cash costs nothing extra; a card or Twint costs CHF 10⁠ (one source checked) more.
