What reviewers say
Reviewers consistently praise Insomnia's production values, with multiple hot tubs, beds, and a strong sound system across several floors. One longtime swingers-club visitor called it "top notch" and well suited to the "sexually liberated," while a more recent visitor described clean beds and seating, good DJ sets, and "beautiful people" throughout the venue. Several reviewers, including first-time couples, single women, and newcomers, cite cleanliness and a comfortable, open-minded atmosphere as standouts.
A recurring complaint spans both platforms: multiple non-German and non-white visitors, on Google and Yelp alike, describe being turned away at the door despite holding valid online tickets, with staff citing vague reasons like "too many men inside," and several reviewers explicitly call the door policy discriminatory. A smaller number of reviews describe unfriendly service, an unwanted advance handled poorly, and one account of being pepper-sprayed by security while leaving. Weeknight visits are described as quieter, with thin crowds and steep pricing for what was on offer.

Insomnia occupies a Gründerzeit ballroom built in 1911–12 on Alt Tempelhof in southern Berlin — a listed historic venue that has hosted the club's hedonistic party series since its founding in 1996, and permanently since 17 February 2006. The interior spans two dance floors, dedicated BDSM playrooms, a voyeur zone with performance stage, communal jacuzzi and showers, designer lounge furniture, and a cash bar; an awareness team is present at all events. Party nights run Tuesday through Saturday, with themed programming across swinger, fetish, BDSM, and queer-inclusive formats. International DJs anchor sets in techno, dark-wave, and gothic electronic genres. An on-site adult boutique offers last-minute essentials. The club markets explicitly to couples, singles of all genders, trios, and polyamorous communities, and operates a dedicated 'My First Time' page guiding newcomers through its etiquette and layout. Entry requires sexy, fetish, or elegant evening wear — erotic lingerie, BDSM attire, themed costumes, and daring outfits are encouraged; casual streetwear and trainers are refused at the door. The venue is cash-only and photo-prohibition-enforced: mobile phones must be checked to the cloakroom on entry, and photography is prohibited throughout. Age minimum is 18 with photo ID.
