It is in the underground level, toward eastside, after passing Starbucks.
The entrance fee for 24hrs? is 20,000won including clothes for public room, with leaving the beggage near the front-desk(writes name-tag)
Inside is sauna, shower, sleeping room(public or private), snack bar, massage, and free shampoo, toothpaste available I have heard.

Will use there soon, because I have a very early international flight.
Didn't want to book any more expensive motels or hotels around the airport Smile

Thanks.
The reviews were a little spotty.
Anyone here have any experience with the place?

There's a hostel around the area for about 20k a night. Better than sleeping in a Jimjilbang IMO

I stayed there for a couple of nights about a year and a half ago, and I thought it was pretty nice. The first night I had a private room, which was more expensive. The second night, I slept in the communal area, which was actually more comfortable.

I've never been to this particular Jimjilbang, but I've heard good things about it.

Sometimes people forget that just outside of the airport is the "Airport Town" area which has loads of what are basically love hotels. Yes, they are more expensive than the jimjilbang or a hostel, but they are still much more reasonably priced than "real" hotels, and many have convenient shuttles to/from the airport. I know they may not be ideal for everyone or every situation, but they are a good option to keep in mind.
