Sinchon Rest 신촌 레스트 - A Sauna, Spa and Jjimjilbang in Sinchon 신촌에 있는 사우나, 스파, 찜질방

Sinchon Rest is a jjimjilbang (spa and sauna) that is right next to the station in Sinchon.  I have been to the vast majority of jjimjilbangs in Sinchon, and each have their good points and bad points.  Sinchon Rest has some really strong points that I'd like to share with you here.

Sinchon Rest is quite possibly the largest jjimjilbang at least in the main center part of Sinchon.  Spanning at least 4 floors, this place has a huge locker area and the spa and shower area is also relatively large.  There are two huge spas.  One is a green tea spa that is hot, but not scalding and the other is a scalding hot.  There is also a small cold pool that is ice cold.

There are also two saunas and both of these are also very spacious as well.  One of them is dry and the other is humid.  Next to the saunas, there is a massage table area where you can pay extra for either a massage from an old man or for him to rub the dirt and dead skin off of you with a scrub brush.  Beyond that there is a large shower area with both seated and standing showers.

The one thing that should be noted about this place is the extremity of the temperatures.  This place is for hardcore people only.  The cold pool is freezing cold and the saunas are very hot.  They are so hot that I cannot personally stand staying in them for very long and they are much hotter than most of the other places I have been to.

My favorite part about this place is the spa area.  The spas are large and the temperatures are not so extreme.  There is one that is more extreme and one that is less.  If I am looking to use mainly the spa, then Sinchon Rest is usually my place of choice.
