Apr 2023. Visited this jjimjilbang as the one in dongdaemun closed. The entrance fees is 11000krw - daytime. The right is male spa, left is female spa. You will be given a wristband, towels & clothing to wear in the common area after the bath. The lockers right after the counter is for shoes, then you can look for the locker given the number of wristband after you enter the spa. Leave your belongings in the locker. Bring your shower gel, shampoo and whatever you need inside. Shower before you use the public bath (similar to Japanese onsen if you had experienced). You can opt for massage (extra payment). Wear the clothes provided to enjoy the common area. There is a cafe and various sauna treatments at the shared area. You can take a nap there as well. Overall a very pleasant experience though I could not speak any Korean at all. Use Google translate all the way 😉

There are no big lockers if you want to bring all your luggage to the spa and have an overnight. I think going there in the morning is the best idea. There are up to 8 rooms (not all are of my interest) and Hot Springs so you should get there early in the morning to enjoy all the services. Don’t forget to bring a big towel because there is a sauna that requires it if you want to enter.

Visited as a foreigner because I wanted to try out a sauna with lots of facilities (I got influenced by hot springs story, a Kairosoft mobile simulation game lol). This place has multiple rooms in the common area including a hydrogen, oxygen, cool, red clay, salt, Egyptian themed room and more. (The sign boards I posted are automatically translated by papago)

Had a wonderful time at this spa today! It cost 14,000 won for entry and I was there at least 4 hours. Did the baths experience, got a thorough body scrub (you have to pay cash for these add-on spa experiences), then spent time in the co-ed area for some food and saunas.
