Dongdaemun Sparex is the best! It's affordable, clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location is also incredibly easy to find. Dongdaemun Design Plaza is right across the street. You can easily find it by taking the elevator down to the third basement floor of the building. They don't provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or scrubbing towels, so it's a good idea to bring your own. If you forget, they sell them at the entrance, which is convenient. For women, mugwort steaming is highly recommended! It costs 2,000 yen. It feels incredibly good and makes you sweat a lot. After that, getting a body scrub is the best! On the fourth basement floor, there's also a food court, a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), and a relaxation area where you can unwind. Going in the morning is recommended as it's less crowded.

The Dongmyo store is on the 13th floor of the building to the right of Exit 6. I was worried about going to the wrong store, but you buy tickets when you get there. The auntie was very kind; she waited for me to buy the tickets and then introduced us to everything. The hot springs were very comfortable. The body scrub hurt a little at first, but after I got used to it, the experience was quite good. After soaking, we put on the clothes provided by the front desk and went to the 12th floor to rest and eat. I will definitely come again next time.

Excellent service and top-notch comfort. After a day of walking, a perfect massage was just what I needed to rejuvenate. The pressure was spot on and surprisingly, the foot bath was done while lying down, and it included a back massage. The service was so good, I'd definitely come back again. Kim, who greeted me, had first-class service and was incredibly polite. Many pleasant surprises, I was very happy.

Viola took care of me from the moment she met me at the door & she was so sweet throughout the entire Jade Clear Scalp Head Spa Program. Her English was great and she occasionally used a translation app to make sure she could explain everything & give clear recommendations. I loved the AI scalp analysis and wish I could access the results to read through them again. I booked for myself but my partner was able to wait in the seating area, they offered her WiFi, coffee & checked in on her during my service. It never felt rushed and actually lasted longer than the 60 minutes listed! The drying portion included the base of my hair, then showed me to the powder room to finish drying and styling. They had skincare and brushes available. I wish I had noticed whether if they had leave in conditioner, heat protectant, or anti frizz products but I should have asked! The entire team was so kind and they even gave us a little gift before we left. I would absolutely recommend visiting this spa!

What to know before visiting Seoul

What to expect in Seoul

Seoul’s most-booked experiences on Klook mix cultural experiences, theme parks and observation decks, with events & shows and massages also showing strong demand. Booking activity rises and falls through the year, with a clear busy spell in late spring and early summer and much quieter demand in late winter.

Best times to visit based on crowds and prices

Klook data shows demand peaks in May and remains high into June and July, while February is among the quietest months. Prices are highest on average in July and drift down through autumn to reach their typical low in October. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, consider travel in February or October; if you’re after peak-season atmosphere and lots of events, May through July is the busiest period. Prices and demand mostly move together around the summer peak, though October offers lower prices while demand is already reduced.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most visitors from the United States book experiences about four days ahead, with some last-minute bookings possible a day before travel and earlier planners booking a few weeks out. For travel in the busy May–July period, consider booking earlier within that window to secure preferred dates and times; for winter or October trips you can be more flexible and still find options. Use Klook to compare cultural tours, theme park tickets and observation-deck passes so you can lock in what matters to you without overplanning.
