I was at Tresor for the first time back in Feb, and it also took us an hour or two to figure out there were more rooms. The basement is *insane*, has to be one of the most intense techno-related experiences anywhere. Sounds like I need to go back and do a bit more exploring; I must have missed the Globus room completely...
The other great thing about Tresor is the cost. 10 Euros for Blake Baxter, Pacou, and a host of others I can't recall at the moment -- plus cheap beer.
Did you stay at The Circus Hostel? that place is amazing...
