The cost is affordable in Silloam. I spent less than 9,000 won for approx 5 hours. The charge is based on how long you are staying in the jjimjilbang. If you are sleeping overnight, cost will be more. After making payment at the counter, you are given 1 set of T-shirt, short and 2 towels. Male & Female customer have to enter at different entrance. Upon entering, you have to store your shoe in their shoe locker with given key. Once you have stored you shoe, you have to exchange your shoe locker key with another clothes cabinet key. You will change into their given T-shirt and short (You should bath first before you change into their clothes but we are not aware of it at that time). Keep one towel for bath later. Remember to bring additional set of under garment if you are visiting the Jimjilbang.
Once changed, you may proceed to another entrance where you can go into the unisex/public area. I am quite amazed that there are 6 levels in Silloam. The basement is the bathing area, 1st level is the locker room, then you will have sauna rooms, TV watching area, game room, massage room, fitness room, mini cafetaria, mini shops, sleeping room etc... Of course not to worry, there is lift inside the building where you can travel without 'exercising' too much to get up and down of the building.
There are many rooms with different types of saunas. They have jade room, yellow mud room, salt room, oxygen room, charcoal room, ice room (less than zero degree celsius) etc. They even provide wooden pillow so that you can lie down comfortably in the sauna room to enjoy the heat.
After saunas, you can proceed to basement for public bath. There are even few saunas at the bathing area. You can also choose water in jade, charcoal etc..and even get staff to rub your body for you.
I am sure you will leave the place clean, refreshed and relaxed.
