"An integral part of Korean culture, jimjilbangs , or bathhouses, offer much more than just a trip to the spa. Most are open 24 hours, functioning as a place for people to unwind and socialize. Expect unisex areas equipped with pools, showers, and massage services, all to be enjoyed in the buff. Those who find being nude in front of strangers intimidating can spend time in the coed saunas and relaxation rooms or at the in-house café. For a quintessential experience, head to Dragon Hill Spa, located outside of Yongsan Garrison. A Western-style jimjilbang , it’s akin to an entertainment complex, with amenities like arcades, karaoke, and movie theaters."
A great way to relax after a long day if site seeing.
Weekdays are cheaper and once you check in, they give you a electronic key you can use it to scan for food and drinks and you pay later when you leave.
You drop off the shoes and then go change into the clothes they provide.
They have food, arcades, and you can either eat or just relax in the sauna rooms or take a bath.
The eggs and drinks are a must try.
There was a pretty rude person that told us to keep our key scan on us or else ... But he could have been nicer....

Spent a whole Sunday there with some mates. They give you clothes and a key after you pay. First area you take off your shoes and put them in locker. Then you head towards the communal area which leads up to dressing room. Change clothes there. And head back down for the heat rooms, arcades and restaurants. Very fun and worth it! After all the fun and stuff you can enjoy the bath house. Bit awkward with everyone naked (gender split so can't be pervy!) But you get use to it. Also the place to get body scrub and massage. Just get body scrub, massage not worth it. After finishing get shower and be on your way. At the exit you pay whatever activities was done. Overall a great place to relax and have fun with friends and family!

Recommended. I went on a Sunday night.
-The entrance fee from 8pm to 5am is ₩16.000 and you can stay for 12 hours, if you exceed those 12 hours you will be charged ₩1000 per extra hour.
- Don’t lose your towels because you will be charged ₩5000 for an extra towel.
- Make sure your phone is charged cause you will be charged ₩2000 for charging your phone.
- Don’t expect any kind of guidance, check online what a Korean Spa is about.
- It is a nice Spa, foregin/tourist friendly.
- You can buy amenities at the snack bar but they might be expensive so take your own shampoo and soap with you. (There is free tooth paste).
- It was not crowded at all during the night, I was alone in one of the many bathtubs.
- There are restaurants inside and snack bars with typical Spa food like Korean sauna eggs. (You cannot enter food from outside).
- Personal doesn’t speak English and most of the signs are in Korean.
- It is not fancy, and the baths are not that clean. The other facilities were okay.

Fun, relaxing and interesting place. You get clothes when you go in and a wrist band. Anything you buy in there is scanned in your wristband abs you pay when your are leaving. The wet areas with the showers and pools are split into men abs women. The sauna rooms are both male and female

Interesting place to visit. Initial payment for entry. Firstly shoes in the first locker. Then move to the Floor for Women 3F or Men 5F and changed into their provided top & shorts. There are just one sauna, different rooms are set at different temperature for you to select which suites you. Many other types of room to try our are ready fun. My like to Finland cold room.

A must go place in Korea. You can take a shower n get a nice rest with reasonable price. Have variety facilities to use like gem,
Game room. etc. It's very comfortable to have a nice hot bath after Han Jeung Mak.
Thumb up.

My friends and I enjoyed this Jimjilbang a lot. We spent 4 hours in the bathhouse alone. There are multiple hot tubs inside and out doors. In the back they have ladies able to give you scrubs or treatments for a price.
I had the scrub and scalp treatment and enjoyed the exfoliation. If you have never had one it's a definite must do. You need to soak and steam for at least 30 minutes before hand. There is a waiting list so when you put your locker bracelet down to make your place you need to continue to soak and pay attention to your number being called.
25,000 for scrub treatment
30,000 for scrub and scalp treatment
There are 7 floors with various things tndo or explore. We only went to the 6th and 7th floors. The top floor had an outdoor garden but it was raining so we were unable to explore. Inside was a restaurant you could order food to eat. It closes at 11pm.
On the 6th or 5th floor we found an aromatherapy sleeping room. It was a wonderful place to rest and sleep. My friend and I got their around 10 or 10:30pm and there was only one other person inside. It was very dark and cozy with mats and pillows. As the night progressed, it filled up quickly.
I would recommend and go again and myself especially since I haven't seen the other floors.

Big enough to accomodate many people. It has many rooms in different temperatures starting from 20° to 80°C. There's a huge area for people to just relax and lie down on the heated floor. Restaurants available and many snack bars. Fitness area and swimming pool. A great place to stay with friends and family.
