We had a lovely morning here. We did our research and read reviews before booking, so we knew what to expect. We had flip flops, a swim hat and towel. We got there early, about 9 am, so it wasn't busy. Look for the smaller saunas inside - off the inside pools, as they are not nearly as busy as the main signposted one. I enjoyed being outdoors, rather than inside, although there are many different pools to choose from. We found staff very friendly-guess it's how you approach them maybe!

A must do in Budapest!! You definitely need to bring your own towel and flip flops, and once inside there aren’t very many signs showing you where the exit is/how to get outside. Everyone working there was very friendly and people in the baths were so nice!! We went around 5 PM in December and it wasn’t that crowded. We didn’t get tickets beforehand but there was no line to get tickets when we were there. Definitely worth it to do it once. I suggest going when it gets dark as it looks very aesthetic and it’s a great way to warm up

Revisited this Hungarian spa and was much more impressed! If you are planning on visiting the spa, I would suggest making a day of it. This is something we really wish we did. Take bottles of water, snacks and a good book to read. If you are there early enough, you can reserve a sun bed lounger with your towel. There are lots of different pools to explore indoors and out. We never took food or drinks with us so only stayed a few hours. You could absolutely make a day of this place if you are prepared!

This is well worth a visit, the thermals baths opened in 2013, the building is full of character & you can imagine what it must have been like in days gone by. You can pre-book tickets but we paid on the day. You are provided with a rubber wristband to open & close your locker. It is advisable to take your own towels, there are facilities to dry your hair after your visit to the baths. Some people wore swimming hats. It is a good idea to take flip flops. Budapest is freezing in December, so it was a very quick walk from the changing rooms to the thermal waters. The reward was to immerse into warm thermal waters with billowing steam slowly floating from the pools. The thermal water contains sulphur, magnesium & other components. We stayed in the thermal baths for an hour, however you could stay up to 4 hours. There is an opportunity to play chess immersed in the thermal waters or enjoy an alcoholic beverage. My body felt very relaxed following the visit. Definitely a thumbs up from me.

I came and I thought there would be more explanations of signs in English since it is touristy. I didn’t really find that many signs at all. I found it confusing after scanning my bracket cause I was at a changing room area that seemed co-ed. however someone who worked there explained that I should go downstairs. So the top floor are for those who probably booked a changing space. The male/female separate change rooms are downstairs. After changing, I wasn’t clear if we showered downstairs but it seems you can just go up And so a quick rinse upstairs. Even though there are signs of where you need to wash with soap, there isn’t soap available in the upstairs showers. The tubs inside while it says 38 degrees C, I didn’t find it that hot for me. The outdoor pool was nice, although a bit chill when outside of the water. Bring your own towel, flip flops and I guess even your own soap and shampoo/conditioner. I assumed there would be some sort of soap for convenience but in the ladies changing area shower, it was just foam. Yet when you wash your hands, the soap that comes out is the regular liquid soap. I also didn’t find that there was an area to get ready after this experience. I just wanted to put some face cream but there isn’t really anywhere to sit down. There are some hair dryers but the old style. I am seriously wondering how other people found the ending part since I was rushing just to get out of there after I felt that I wanted to leave. Overall I was there for about 1 hour. Some parts did feel dated to me, but at the same time it is understandable since this is a working spa for such a long time. But there were only some signs at some spots then you can figure out where to go. The signs of the temperature of water, I felt like was kinda faded.

TAKE FLIP FLOPS!! Enjoyable experience but felt a bit ripped off to pay £8 for a pair of flip flops as mandatory. Wish I’d known. Day and cabin good value. Not really much signage but easy enough to work it out. Outdoor and indoor pools for all weathers. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Cold and hot pools. Not too busy in a Friday lunchtime.

If you are visiting Budapest you must go to the baths. Although it was busy it was definitely worth the visit, we were debabting buying a package online before turning up but glad we didn’t. It was a lot cheaper to buy tickets on the door ( although I don’t think they can’t always guarantee space) it worked out around £15 each. There was a load of different thermal pools throughout the place. Definitely bring along some flip flops(everyone wears them) and 2 towels( one for having by the poolside and one dry one for when you come out later) some people brought with them swim hats as some lane swimming pools require you to wear one but not all pools. We brought a cabin room for about £2 but it’s a private mini room where you can leave all your belongings. I’d recommend getting one of these as it was stress free knowing your belongings were safe. Very good time here though I’ll definitely be going back if I visit Budapest again.

The place is beautiful and is worth the visit! The experience is very oiled out. There are options that grant you access to the saunas but in my experience just the exterior pools were enough to keep me entertained for at least two hours. Regarding the ticket, you buy one that includes access to lockers that are locked and unlocked via a wristband, that means you can come in and out of the lockers/changing area at any time. That means you can grab you phone for a few pictures of the place and then lock it back in the locker. Swimwear situation. Their website shows a price list for swimsuits but I was not able to find anything that was remotely close to those prices, they were much more expensive in their store. Even though they could serve a good memento whatever item that is being sold is way overpriced and the options are not so vast. Make sure to bring swimwear and slippers (mandatory) with you. A good place to find swimwear during the winter is to go to a sports store, in my case I went to the Westend shopping mall that is not so far way from the baths.
