Furthermore, its proximity to Seoul Station makes it incredibly convenient for international travelers arriving by train or anyone looking for easy access to Korea's railway network.

Namsan View Private Sauna/Outdoor Bath Facilities

You get 1 hour and 30 minutes of exclusive access to a sauna with an unobstructed view of Namsan Tower. Inside, you'll find essentials like body wash and lotion, and a changing area conveniently located within the sauna itself.
Just a heads-up: the sauna is visible from a neighboring building, and since it's a mixed-gender facility, swimsuits are absolutely mandatory. Don't forget to pack yours!

With two shower booths, you can easily alternate between the sauna and the refreshing outdoor bath.

For a bit more privacy when changing, we suggest using the area next to the shower booths.
There's also a private restroom inside.
Remember, swimsuits are essential for the outdoor bath!
The night views of Seoul and Namsan from inside are simply stunning.

Even as a hotel guest, it's highly recommended to book well in advance. Since each 1.5-hour slot is reserved for just one group, securing a spot can be quite competitive, especially with its recent surge in popularity.

Please note that children under 13, the elderly, and pregnant individuals are not permitted to use the facility. Also, bubble bath or bath bombs are not allowed.
While the spa price is quite reasonable, the hotel itself is a 3-star, and some might find the rooms a bit compact, which could be a consideration for your stay.
