179 Itaewon-ro, Utopia Map

Not gay, but reported to be very active these days. Good proximity to the Itawon gay scene. The vast majority of guys in the 2/F sleeping area use only a towel for cover, if anything at all. There is action, especially Fri and Sat nights and Sun afternoon. The crowd is usually 20s-40s. Most active Fri-Sun from the afternoons onward. A good mix of locals and foreigners.

"The Hamilton Hotel Sauna is great!! I love coming here. Most of the guys are always looking for action. It's even common to see some guys walk around hard! It's a great place to go for foreigners, too, as (unlike a lot of gay saunas), this one isn't prejudiced. Just pay the fee and you're in! Please take note that it's not actually a gay sauna (just the demographic is gay mostly). It's full of horny men looking for other horny men. Men often play in the wet and dry saunas and even in the showering areas (discreetly if needed). The sleeping room is where you go if you for sure want to play. It's almost guaranteed. The last time I went, there was a whole wall of men playing with each other - duos and groups! I highly recommend this place for a good time! Only sad part is that it's not open 24 hours!" -- Gigidavus, Jan 8, 2025

"I attended this sauna 2 days ago and the first question I was asked was how old are you? The staff said they didn't want anyone over 60 - too old. That aside, they were both rude. Inside: not all facilities were working and the customers were aloof. My rating: 2 out of 10." -- Lochie, Jan 6, 2025

The main floor has lockers (with phone charger inside), a shower and a TV/Smoking room. Lube, condoms and glowsticks are provided in your locker. The upper floor has rooms. Smoking area.

Younger Korean crowd mainly interested mainly in the same. CBusiest in the late afternoon and weekend nights. The manager may not allow you to enter.

Walk about four minutes straight ahead from Gyodae Station (Line 3) Exit 9 until you find an alley to your left in between Hana Bank and TomTom's. Follow that alley passing by a small children's park, crossing the small intersection, then on another small intersection (to your left should be Wa Bar), go to the right and you'll see Gold Bar. Samsong is in B/F of that building. Clean, spacious, with private and group rooms. Very kind desk clerk. A good computer room. Crowd is mid-aged to older, uncles, and bears. Bring your own safety supplies. Open daily 24hrs.
