The best jjimjilbang in Seoul are perfect if you're looking for a little pampering during your stay in South Korea. These traditional bathhouses are usually open 24 hours, are gender-segregated and have hot tubs, snack bars, outdoor pools, fitness clubs and karaoke rooms called noraebang. They also serve as affordable accommodation for backpackers and sometimes offer a range of beauty and detoxification treatments too.
Spacious sleeping quarters with sleeping mats or bunk beds are also available if you’re planning to spend the night. Entry fees are usually relatively low, so budget travellers often opt to stay at a jjimjilbang instead of a hotel. Check out our list of Seoul’s most popular bathhouses below.
