What makes Prince Sauna stand out
The building is old but, according to reviews, well kept. The big issue is the door policy: several reviews from 2026 report foreigners being turned away without explanation, apparently depending on the staff. At the end of 2025 there were also reports of a temporary closure; however, visits in May and June 2026 confirm it’s operating.
A good fit if you …
- speak Korean or come with locals
- are out and about in Sinchon or Hongdae
Not ideal if you …
- want to be sure of getting in as a foreign guest
