Arisoo Korean Bathhouse & Spa Paddington

Had a great time at Arisoo bathhouse Paddington. The facilities are pretty basic but I’m giving it 5 stars because of the wonderful treatment experience with Angie, I felt pampered from head to toe!, from Korean body scrub to head to toe massage to facial :)

Blissful, rejuvenating and so healing. On a recommendation I took a girlfriend of mine who flew in to this bath house. And we walked away with so much more than what we went in with. Thank you to Bella who was my scrub therapist, the care in which you went about your work was incredibly therapeutic and so giving. I believe all women need a moment in this beautiful place to feel papered with such cherishing actions. I look forward to returning and next time I’ll definitely add the massage on after the scrub.

I would not recommend this place. Firstly it was unhygienic. There was mould and dirt around the hot tub and no soap in the toilet. Secondly, the products used were cheap, body washes and shampoo from Woolies. I’d expect some nicer products, maybe even some Korean skin care, when paying $120. Thirdly this doesn’t feel at all like any spa I’ve been to before. No questions about if you’re allergic to products or any areas you don’t want treatment in. It was a really disappointing experience.

Stopped in for a body scrub while visiting in Sydney. This was an excellent experience that will leave you feeling the cleanest you’ve ever felt. I got a body scrub and massage and felt amazing afterwards! Highly suggest trying a Korean scrub if you never have.

Really enjoyed the experience, but in dire need of a renovation and is overpriced. I had never been to a Korean spa, so it was a really good and enjoyable experience, but I had expected something a lot more upmarket, given the prices they charge. If the prices were half of what they are, I would be raving about it with five stars. But at this price level, I would expect more. Apart from needing a renovation - the place is about 20 years past its prime time - cleanliness could be slightly improved. I found three long, dark hairs in the plunge pool. The spa is hard to find. You need to walk towards Oxford Street to get to the back of the building, and then there is a small unassuming door where you need to ring the bell - so I am attaching some photos of the entrance to make it hopefully easier. All in all, it's well worth a visit, especially if you can get a 50% discount (we didn't receive any discount).
