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.

I had some doubts about going to the baths as had read mixed reviews. The baths themselves are very ornate with beautiful ceiling murals and statutes, you can imagine the romans sitting enjoying their baths. One of the outdoor pools was being renovated and although the day was overcast is was warm enough to side out side and certainly warm... More
