Hello
Any good spa in Busan like Siloam?

Hi! Great post. Thanks so much! My husband and I are definitely planning to check this out when we visit Seoul this year. Do you know if once you check in, can you leave and come back? Or do you have to stay there the whole time? We arrive at like 9am, but want to see more of the city. Then come back to the spa and sleep overnight. Thoughts? Thanks!!

Can the lockers fit cabin-size luggage/backpack? Planning to overnight there before catching an early morning flight on the next day for my upcoming Korea trip.

Thanks for this article!
We have cabin baggage size backpacks.
Could we use their lockers? If not, do you happen to know if we can use station lockers overnight?

In reply to Schon. @Schon: Sorry I'm a little late. I'm not sure why you'd want to go to a jjimjilbang with your bags and not drop them at your hotel? With Siloam, they'll let you store your bag in the locker room common area. Should be safe- it's in front of the front desk lady.

Hi! My family’s flight arrives in Seoul very early in the morning. I was looking into this post and am considering JJB time ’til we get to check in at a hotel. You mentioned the lockers are small and won’t fit large suitcases. Would you know where we can leave our bags if we did decide to go to a jjimjilbang before hotel check in, and would it be safe?

Thanks Christine for an interesting post! This will be on my list for South Korea when I’m back there next – I was last in Korea in 2011 (stayed in a hostel in Seoul) and it IS an expensive city, so this is a clever idea for budget travel!

In reply to Rica.

@Rica: Not a stupid question. If you want to take a shower, you’ll need to strip. If you’re fine with sleeping, using the sauna, then you don’t. If you choose not to take showers, here’s a useful tip– take a package of baby wipes. That’s a great substitute shower. 😉

Me and my friend will be coming from Seoul and are expecting to arrive in Seoul after midnight and we are looking at staying in a jjimjilbang until we can check in to our hotel. But being not used to it, my friend is hesitant. Do we really need to “strip”? Can’t we just sleep? Hehe. Sorry if this question sounds stupid.
