You check in and then take a really long escalator up to an area where you are greeted by a staff member who assigns you a locker for your shoes! That's right, this first locker only holds your shoes with their modern locking system unlocked by your wrist band. You are offered slippers and walked over to your respective change room where you are greeted by another staff member from behind a counter. This person asks which kind of outfit you would like - a thin silky robe or a comfortable pair of shorts and t shirt. You then find your locker and store your belongings and change into the provided outfit. Your walk through this change room alone is a spa like experience in itself. The women's change room has a sauna, steam room, hot tubs and showers with brand name soaps and shampoos. The water pressure in the shower was nice and strong, temperature control was easy making for a really comfortable experience. On your way out are a wall of vanity type stations fully equipped with hair dryers, q-tips, single use combs, mouth wash, any thing you can thing of all available for use at no extra cost. You're then free to wander the entire facility! The spa features: - many hot and cold rooms ranging in temperature. I recommend going in order so you really feel the difference in temperature changes. Each room is differentiated by unique wall decor - an infra red room - a gym where they provide running shoes. The gym has a few free weights, treadmills and other equipment - a movie theatre playing some old movies on a schedule (remember this used to be the FMP movie theatre) - a restaurant where the food was surprisingly superb! We tried the oysters, a rice dish, sushi and the hot drinks. Everything was delish. - billiard tables - a large lounge where you can work, chill or play board games which are available for rent! In this lounge, you are also able to purchase snacks and drinks The upper level is used for paid additional services such as manis/ pedis and massages. The admission price allows you to stay as long as you want (up to 24 hrs)! Unique experience worth checking out!

This is my 3rd visit to Go Place. When I first visited right…read moreafter it opened, the waiting line was so long that it took me a while to mentally prepare to come back again. I came back after about 5 yrs, and the wait is still pretty long. If you enjoy sauna and jjimjilbang, I would definitely recommend this place. The facility is very spacious and they have multiple rooms with different temperatures. There are also lounge areas with a pool table, gym, computer area like a PC room, sleeping rooms, and even a restaurant. Everything is clean and well maintained, and there are multiple water dispensers with paper cups. In the shower area, they provide towels and all the basic amenities like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, and shower caps, so you don't really need to bring anything. Just bring your swimsuit and underwear. One thing to note is that slippers, socks, and robes were extra. It opens 24 hrs so you can stay overnight if you want but there is an additional fee. I stayed overnight this long weekend with a friend because we needed some rest, and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable time. We got to sweat, detox, eat, and just unwind. I think this will be our go to spot in the winter

The facility offers everything from steam rooms, saunas, the Dead Sea salt hot pool, the hot Epsom salt pool, to the cold water plunge pool.

What stands out is that the facilities are state of the art. The Dead Sea salt pool even has massage water jets, and the water quality is tested several times a day. I personally saw a staff member testing the water quality! This is great for anyone with a cleanliness obsession. Two final points: this is a women-only space, and phones are not allowed. The photos I've shared are from the official website, which maintains a high level of privacy. The service is excellent and the place is incredibly clean! Upon entering, you are asked to fill out a medical history form, and they inquire if you need any medical accommodations. Such thoughtful and considerate service!

I was…read morevisiting Toronto from the U.S. on a work related trip and was desperate for hot water so paid the full $85 ($90 with tax) to get in for the last 45 minutes and was sorely disappointed. The sauna was barely warm. The main pool was luke warm; albeit relaxing to move in, as I was the only one using it. The supposed "hot" pool was not warmer than my hottub at home that we keep at 104, so must've only been around 101 my guess. And yes, the 2 other women that were there were chatting up a storm, so not your relaxing, spa type environment. The staff, though, were very kind and helpful.

Thanks to the invitation from our Russian friends, we had the chance to visit and experience a…read moretraditional Russian-style sauna--the banya. Otherwise, I would have never dared to step into this place on my own. Taking photos inside the banya is not allowed--for obvious reasons. You need to bring your own swim shorts or swimsuit to enter the banya area. The area includes a cold water pool, a warm water pool, and most importantly, the banya room itself. A banya is similar to a sauna, but instead of being very dry like a typical sauna (which uses a stove), the banya is extremely humid due to the constant addition of water. As a result, even though the temperature, 70 degrees Celsius, doesn't exceed that of a regular sauna (around 90°C), it feels much hotter. In fact, I felt suffocated the moment I stepped into the banya room for the first time--I was shocked! However, after staying a little longer, I quickly got used to it. The heat penetrated my body inside and out, and I started sweating like crazy. You can't even tell whether the moisture on your body is sweat or steam from the air. According to Russian tradition, you're supposed to jump straight into the freezing cold water immediately after leaving the banya room. I didn't jump--I walked in slowly, afraid my heart might stop if I did that! I felt completely relaxed afterwards, and I could tell my metabolism had boosted. I highly recommend experiencing a banya during the blistering cold Canadian winter. There's also a restaurant offering Russian dishes (or more precisely, Soviet-style cuisine), so you can refuel with some hearty food after being "boiled" in the banya.

This is definitely a cultural experience you want to try at least once!…read more Banya Richmond Hill is a local spa and wellness space offering an authentic eastern European banya experience. It has a variety of saunas, steam rooms, and baths, including a Himalayan salt room, and provides a relaxing and social atmosphere. Beyond the traditional banya experience, Banya Richmond Hill also features delicious house made food and drinks, including traditional Russian dishes and kombucha. I loved the Lamb Pilaf and potato perogies. I highly recommend coming early on the weekend or preferably choose a weekday in the day time to enjoy the experience with less crowds . Parking is a bit limited as well so make sure to come early!

I heard of this place for many many years but was not sure what to expect until today…read more My first visit to Seoul Zimzilbang today was very pleasant! With $35 only entrance fee, friendly service. I also enjoyed community hot bath, cold plunge, steam room, warm area to hangout with heated floor and hot sauna with different temp.

I kinda don't want to advertise this place cause i like it less crowded. However I can tell you that I want to definitely go back!

I visited with my girlfriend but ended up spending a lot of time alone in the men's area. Overall,…read morethe amenities are fairly basic, but if you're simply looking to warm up in a sauna, there are plenty of heated rooms to choose from. In the men's section, full nudity is required to use the hot tubs. I found this a bit unusual, as most spas and steam rooms typically allow swimwear. Personally, it made me uncomfortable--especially since two men watched me as I showered and made eye contact and smiled (not in a friendly way, to be clear!) when I entered the hot tub. This detracted from the relaxing atmosphere I was hoping for. The food options are limited and reminiscent of college dorm fare. That said, the prices are reasonable. I ordered dumplings with instant ramen, if I recall correctly. The dumplings had been pre-cooked and were reheated in a microwave when served. The sauna rooms themselves were decent, with some featuring gem-like materials on the walls, such as jade. The cold room was quite effective--colder than the one at Go Place--and featured exposed ice, which some guests chose to lay on, as shown by visible body imprints. Overall, I'd say this place is a good value if you're a seasoned sauna-goer who knows what to expect and prefers something more affordable than a high-end spa, or more effective than the saunas found in typical recreation centres.

We booked a signature mani/pedi and were really looking forward to the experience. We diligently prepared ourselves by completing and sending in the pretreatment questionnaire. Both of us noted the difference between signature and non signature treatment descriptions, followed their instructions, and arrived with no shellac to remove. Not even regular polish. When we arrived, we were told they didn't have our emailed questionnaires and we had to do them all over again on paper. We were brought upstairs to the spa level and checked in, again. We were given our cloth wrap robes and shown the locker room where you select your flip flops. We could then proceed to the waiting area where they have a few sitting areas and snacks (nuts and dried fruits, tea and water.) The staff collected us and we were seated for our services, mani first. The staff were nice enough, but at no point was it explained to us what this polish actually is. They told us it's Vinylux but that was it. We had no idea this is basically a cross between polish and shellac, even though my sister asked about the formulation. The staff were pretty good with our procedures (although I did notice a faint scratch on a nail surface when we were finished.) Then it went steeply downhill. 2 weeks later I need to remove the polish as it's all worn away at the tips. So I get out my remover...and nothing is happening! I call my sister and she confirms, she had to resort to acetone remover to get it off. We filled out health questionnaires including cancer history and they aren't transparent about this? Nowhere on their site does it advise you will need acetone to take this stuff off. I also soon experienced horrendous skin degradation, my hands like velcro scraping and snagging against every textile I touched. Not to mention, 10 weeks later and my nails are in shreds, it will take a whole regrowth from the cuticle up to get rid of the brutal damage. Will never go back and advise you don't go at all either.
