Seoul Zimzilbang

Tucked away in an industrial area is this little hidden gem. It’s definitely a no-frills type of facility. Don’t go in expecting go place but to me I’d rather go here any day.nnHere are my tips and FYIn- no bathing suits get comfortable being nakedn- cash and debit onlyn- I would bring slippers the next time I gon- bring a big towel for when you get out of the bathn- definitely book a body scrubnnSo I booked a body scrub and I had Dila and she was fantastic. Now I think we’re gonna come regularly because my skin feels amazing.

I went on a Thursday around 9pm. The place was about 10% full.nnIt’s $35 + tax to enter. Cash or debit card only. You get 2 hand towels. The co-ed area is one huge room with hard wooden seats, 1 projector that was showing a hockey game, 2 treadmills, 1 pool table that is $2 a play, 2 flat screen TVs that were off, a snack shop and eating area and an area leading to the sauna room. Snack shop had instant ramen of course, hard boiled eggs, and ice cream among other things. Free WiFi and water is also available.nnThe sauna room is also one big room that lead to 6 different sauna rooms: Elvan stone, Salt, Crystal, Jade, Loess and Germanium. The temperature ranges from 45-100 degrees Celsius and each have a security cam inside. There were plenty of mats and blocks available to use. In addition there is 1nIce room but it was just cool. It was not cold enough as not all of the wall froze over. The other Korean saunas I’ve been to had seatings except this one. This room was the only one without a cam.nnThe men’s locker room was big with access to several shower stalls, 1 cool tub not cold, 1 hot tub, 1 body scrub room and 1 steam room. I found it weird that the staff doing the body scrub would periodically look out the window into the shower and steam room area. It’s $55 for a body scrub for 30 minutes.nnThe front desk lady was nice and the entire place was fairly clean.

I had a great first experience and will definitely come back.nnI visited on a Wednesday morning from around 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and it was surprisingly quiet. Most of the time, I had the women’s hot pool, cold pool, sauna, and ice room almost to myself. Everything was clean, relaxing, and well maintained.nnThe staff were friendly when I arrived, and even friendlier when I left, which made the experience even better.nnThe sauna egg was delicious too!nnThe only thing that took a little getting used to was that the women’s bath area is clothing-free. It felt a bit awkward at first since it was my first visit. I thought I was alone, but when I turned around, the body scrub lady was still there and completely caught me by surprise! After a few minutes, though, I realized everyone just minds their own business, so it wasn’t a big deal.nnJust before I left, a family with young children came to use the sauna area, but overall it was still very quiet. If you prefer a peaceful experience, I highly recommend visiting on a weekday morning.nnGreat value, clean facilities, relaxing atmosphere, and I’ll definitely be back!

It's just like the kdramas! This is a simple, clean, sauna spa that we quite enjoyed. Went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was very quiet. Unfortunately, we only had a few hours to spare, but they're open 9AM-12AM, so $35 for the whole day is a great price. Their 50 degree room didn't smell funky like one of the reviews mentioned, thankfully. Just disappointed that we didn't get to have the gimbap since they said it started at 5PM there weren't any signs about it. The sweet rice drink was cold and nice to have after the sauna rooms. You also pay for any food at the end when you checkout. They provide a uniform and a small towel, so recommend bringing in slippers and a bigger towel for showering. You also get a bracelet tag for your locker. Overall good experience that we would come back to. It's cash/debit only as well and when we were there their ATM machine was down.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, quiet spot to sweat your toxins out and heal your body, this is it! They have multiple sauna rooms with varying temperatures and interior composition Himalayan salts, rock etc, gender-segregated hot tubs and a cold room. Recommend a full body scrub after saunas - your skin will thank you. They give you uniforms and a locker. So the only thing you can bring is a bigger towel and some slippers for common areas.
