Seoul Travel Forum

Hi, I will be traveling to Korea and staying in Seoul International Youth Hostel this April. I would like to try the Jimjilbang near the area, any good recommendation? By the way, are there etiquettes in jimjilbang or hot bath that I should observe? I would like to try both sauna and hot bath if possible. Thanks

First of all Jimjilbang Is a only style of Korean.
( different style of Finland sauna ).
there are noisy and very hot inside, and Taking the food,
Watching TV and lay down and sleep, it's may not feel good.
but, choice is for you,there is a possibility of feeling a
another different experience stay at Korea.
go try it!
Good trvel!

Last month one of the famouse weekly magzine Chosunweekly shows
list for best 10 jimjilbamg in Korea.

So I would recommend the 1st lanked place named SEOUL YONGSAN DRAGONHILL SPA

I just take a glance into the webpage and I feel it so nice although english paper is under construction.


For Etiquettes, shower before you plunge yourself into the hottub.
That's all!

Just prepare some books and MP3 for your convenience, also you can bring candies or fruits and snacks into the lobby

Enjoy food in the restaurant inside.
Most favorites among the menu are Boiled Egg, Sikhe(sweet rice beverage) and
Miyeokguk-soup ( black seeweed soup )

Also I found another jimjilbang near your place, but have no website, but you can get better info from Youthhostel.

Good Luck !
