About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
Seoul Spa and Sauna provides a traditional Korean spa experience centered on its potent heat therapy facilities. The spa offers both a dry sauna and a steam sauna, which guests consistently describe as intensely relaxing and clean. Spa-goers note the dry sauna is particularly powerful, with one remarking "that thing will cook you." The steam sauna is highlighted as an integral part of the pre-scrub ritual, perfectly preparing the skin for exfoliation. Guests find these sauna facilities to be perfect for cold days and a cornerstone of the relaxing experience. There is no mention of a cold plunge or contrast therapy in the available reviews.
Atmosphere
The facility provides a simple, clean, and inviting environment with a distinct Korean spa atmosphere that makes visitors feel transported. The space is noted for being clean without smelling like harsh cleaners. The environment is generally described as welcoming and suitable for both solo visits and group spa days with friends. Some guests, particularly first-timers, note that instructions and attire policies can be confusing, with nudity permitted only on the women's side, leading to calls for greater clarity.
Staff
The staff is consistently described as friendly, patient, professional, and kind. Guests appreciate that the team takes their time during services. Different practitioners perform the body scrub service across visits, and guests report consistently wonderful experiences. Staff are noted for being helpful, though the attire policy enforcement was a point of confusion for some male guests.
Additional Amenities
The primary additional services highlighted are the Korean body scrub, various massage options including deep tissue and hot stone, and a cucumber facial. The body scrub is frequently praised as being worth every penny, leaving skin feeling incredibly clean and soft, and is considered better in quality than some competitors. The massage rooms feature heated floors. Online booking is available and noted as easy to use.
