The place is good and well organized. Many different pools and the hot water is relaxing. Besides it was quite full, there was enough space to everyone, but I expected a quieter environment. More

What i loved about this place are the pools located outside. They are very warm and it felt so nice to relax outside! But i hated the pools inside the building. There are many pools inside with different temperatures - but the water smells terrible and the place doesn't look nice. The walls are all white and nothing stands out.... More

A lot of pools with different temperatures and also many kind of saunas. This is a place for everybody. No matter how you look or if you are old or young. Here you can meet same persons year after year. Hungarians really love this place, and so do I. Look behind every door, you might find another pool. Also massage... More

Imagine, one of the "must go" sightseeings. A spa, which fame can be read from anywhere. And imagine when the spa is worse than average spa house in my country. That was a big dissapoint for me and for my friend. Tips: - If you are going to sauna, bring your "flipflop"-shoes and towel with you or you are going... More

Relaxing pools, several with temperatures varying from lukewarm to super hot. Steam rooms with eucalyptus, numerous saunas and don't forget to book a massage with Frank! What a great time. More

Great to try, a little pricy, but you only live once. The lockers that are provided there are confusing and no one explains how to use them to you so here's a run down: 1) Your wrist band has a round button on them, change into your swimware and put everything in your locker. Doesn't matter what locker, your wristband... More

My wife and I were in the last days of a 3 week vacation in Europe. The first 2 weeks were a Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Our last five days were spent in Budapest seeing the sites. Admittedly we were tired and exhausted from enjoying Europe so much. Our local hosts, Judit and Lajos at the Bellevue... More

Entering the building, it is confusing - where do you go? Where do you pay for a towel? After paying for our wrist bands, we went to the attendant who put us in a shared private changing room. Then we tried to figure out how to get outside... this was confusing! We eventually figured it out. We spent most of... More
