We visited on a hot, busy Saturday. The outside area is more like a public swimming pool with peeling paint, greasy fast food and crowds. Inside is more decorative and as I imagined it would be with several hot and cold pools. It's quite expensive. You have to hire towels if you don't bring your own and to be honest... More

Now that was really fun experience, very relaxing and I'd repeat it again. Before the trip I had been very sceptical, as I am sure, huge places like this is hardly possible to keep clean, I remember my visit to Aquapark in Paris - now that was a real nasty disaster with dirty water. Here it was very clean and... More

Don't go here with the assumption that it's a spa, it's NOT. My friend and i made appointments for a massage and went with high expectations. Here's what we saw: dirty locker rooms no soap, shampoo, towels... everything had to be rented or purchased the indoor pools were very crowded. the tiles were dingy the rooms were cold. In one...

My wife and I enjoy thermal baths around the world so we couldn't resist going to some of the famous baths in Budapest. The weather was lovely and the building and outdoor baths looked spectacular. It was crowded with tourists and locals alike (about 50/50), but we could just about find enough space to ourselves in the baths. It was... More

We were lucky in that the weather was gorgeous when we were there making the trip good value for money as we could lounge outside in the sun next to the baths for the whole afternoon. Gorgeous architecture and great atmosphere, I would recommend this to anyone

This was a great way to relax at the end of a long weekend. It is very popular with locals and is not a tourist trap. Basic tasty food on site too. Very good value for money. We took a long time deciding on which Spa to go for, but were very glad we chose this one - especially as... More

WE really enjoyed 4 hours relaxing in the natural spas and baths here all for just 4600HUF which included a little cabin to change in. We also availed ourselves of a revitalising massage at 12990 HUF per couple for 30 minutes each....temperatures varied in the spas but combined with cold plunge pools and a cold swimming pool it was excellent!...

So great, very relaxing. The pools are really warm and calming and the old building is beautiful. Also not to much money.
