Spa 1899

Just had the 3-hour spa package here and honestly, so worth it 🙌 They covered everything — head, face, body, and foot treatments — like a full reset from top to bottom. The therapists were great, super relaxing vibe the whole time. Honestly can’t believe how much you get for the price, definitely not a rip-off scenario at all. 100% coming back. If you need a proper chill-out sesh, this is it

Spa 1899で施術を受けたので、実際の体験をシェアしたいと思います。カウンセリングの時、医師は適当な対応をせず、私の希望に盲目的に従うこともありませんでした。どのような施術をしたいか伝えると、医師は私の顔の状態を丁寧に分析し、何が適していて、何が本当は必要ないのかを教えてくれます。説明も分かりやすく、専門用語をたくさん並べて私に理解させようとすることもありません。施術中は院長の手つきがとても安定しており、初心者が行っているとは思えないほどでした。各ステップの前には必ず十分なコミュニケーションがあり、不快な点がないか尋ねてくれます。治療の途中でも、私の耐性に合わせて随時調整してくれます。期待以上の体験だったので、また次もここに来るつもりです。

I got the 3 hour full treatment, which involved a quick shower, foot soak, fully body massage, facial, and head spa. This was one of the best spa / massage experiences I’ve had and would highly recommend to anyone who has some time in Seoul for a relaxing experience! Like many other reviewers said, the staff are very professional and know what they are doing and worth the price. Will definitely return if I’m back in Seoul.

Don’t recommend if you’re not Korean. Literally impossible to find, and their instructions are really unclear - “straight”, “up”, and “down” a street don’t help. They’re very nice and mean well but the language barrier is too strong - they just copy/paste the same instruction for what to do once you arrive at the building but good luck getting to the building - there’s so much construction at the subway stop and at the street in front of the random commercial building where they’re in the basement. I had cars honking at me and a bus driver stop me to say I couldn’t walk through that way. The spa was of no help. Then after 30 minutes of circling around construction they could’ve directed me out of, they said they’d do a 170000kwr ($110) treatment in 30 minutes. It’s not right to not guide people properly, stress them out, then not offer a partial treatment. I was sending photos since my start time of where I was stuck. This apparently happens ALL the time. Now I’m stuck with no reservation trying to find a spa on a Sunday to take me before I leave Seoul. I recommend booking with a place you can navigate to and where you know you’ll be seen.

I had the 3-hour Full Care treatment at Spa 1978 during my trip to Seoul, and it was honestly one of the most relaxing experiences of my trip. The massage therapist was excellent — very skilled, attentive, and professional. You can really tell they know what they’re doing. What I liked most was how detailed and carefully designed the whole experience felt. There were many thoughtful steps throughout the treatment, and nothing felt rushed. It felt much more than just a massage — more like a full reset for both body and mind. After the treatment, I felt deeply relaxed and refreshed. If you’re visiting Seoul and want to spend a day relaxing and recharging, I would definitely recommend this place.

We had the most elevated experience at Spa 1978 ✨ From arrival to finish, every detail felt thoughtful and intentional. The atmosphere and design of the spa made it feel like stepping into a completely different world, quietly tucked away within the KT&G building. Our treatment was exceptional, and the use of ginseng felt especially unique and deeply rooted in Korean tradition. Ila was amazing. Her attention to my tension points and areas of dryness in my skin was incredibly thoughtful. She adjusted her techniques throughout the treatment to care for those areas, which made the entire experience feel deeply personalized and restorative. By the end, our skin and entire body felt calm, restored, and renewed from the inside out. Thank you for such a special and memorable experience. We will most definitely return during our next trip to Seoul ✨💛.

I had such a wonderful experience at 1899 Spa! I chose the 150-minute facial and full body massage, and it was absolutely worth it. The whole session was incredibly relaxing from start to finish. The facial was my favorite part my face felt so much lighter and refreshed afterwards, and my skin looked well taken care of. The massage was also amazing and helped me completely unwind. The massage therapist was very professional, gentle, and attent

This is my favorite spa in Korea — I’ve visited three times, and each experience has been amazing. The place is clean, calming, and the staff is very professional. The therapists are highly skilled, have good technique with perfect pressure. I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. Consistently excellent service every time. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back on my next trip!

I came here for a 3-hour full body treatment session after over half a month traveling in Japan and Korea. It was the most relaxing and rejuvenating spa that I’ve ever had. The session started with a whirl bath followed by body treatment, facial and head spa. I’m glad that I included the spa treatment in my itinerary and now I’m feeling recharged to continue my trip! Service was impeccable from front desk staff to the therapist. I love the warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Absolutely rejuvenating experience at Spa 1978 in Seoul! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the luxurious and calming atmosphere. The 90-minute facial treatment was exceptional—my therapist, Lily,,was not only skilled with firm, effective techniques, but also communicated flawlessly in English, making the session even more comfortable. The high-quality products used felt premium on my skin. After the treatment, I felt deeply relaxed, both mentally and physically. Most importantly, my face was left glowing and radiant! A special thanks to Lily for her wonderful care. I highly recommend Spa 1978 for anyone looking for a top-tier skincare retreat in Seoul.

I loved my experience at Spa1899, where my wife and I had a couples massage. All the staff were highly attentive to my needs and made me comfortable. The facility is quite peaceful. I really enjoyed starting with a foot bath before proceeding to a massage. We added the mini facial care to our session and I have never felt more moisturized! There are several other bonus programmes that we did not try but may fit other tastes. The therapist Lily made me feel comfortable and was able to focus on areas of my body that needed the most care, plus she gave me feedback on what I could do to improve my posture and back pain thereafter. I am not a fluent Korean speaker but I was able to communicate my needs without any problem! We will be coming back when we're back in Seoul.
