first time in a bath house and it was great. The customer service was lacking though and I would highly recommend you bring lower euro notes if you wouldn't like to exchange for hungarian forint as they WILL NOT provide change. Other than that, it's for locals and later in the day is not crowded just a bit out of the way.

One of the smallest thermal baths in Budapest, but it is not crowded, since it is probably the least known one. It is located in the 9th district, and most popular among elderly visitors. Thermal indoor pools, sauna, steam cabin and outdoor wellness pools are also available. The buffet is quite outdated, and does not offer a big choice, but acceptable. In the dressing room, a spin-dryer would be more environment friendly then the rolls of plastic bags for wet swimsuits.

Great spa with open air pools. Went there early in the morning on a weekday (7-10), there where at most 4 other people outside during my visit.

Outdoor pools had a bit of sand and dirt on the floor around the corners, but pretty clean overall

Way cheaper than most other baths.

Really happy with the service and the variety of pools/sauna’s

So many things to keep you occupied and lots of ways to chill out.
Really enjoyed it and locals seem friendly towards tourists

Visited this thermal and wellness spa on 3rd July as it was a last minute trip and close to apartments that we were staying in.

Firstly and most importantly, I would like to give a WARNING TO WATCH YOUR CHANGE! I was given an older 10000HUF note in my change, which is no longer legal tender, I didn't realise this until my nephew pointed it out to me later that day when I was sorting out my money. Luckily, he offered to take it to his bank and gave me a new note. I find this very deceitful and dishonest of the staff in the spa to pass it in to a tourist, they warn the same about taxi drivers but I would have thought a business like this would just bank the old notes and not try to swindle their customers!

I actually wouldn't recommend this spa anyway, the old tender money was just another thing against it!

It isn't the biggest place in the world, despite being one of the cheapest, I don't think it's worth the 2500HUF (£6.70) it cost to visit and we only stayed for about 1 hour.
I read somewhere that it had been recently renovated, so dread to think what it was like previously.
The changing area is kept fairly clear/dry by staff with mops, but I'd definitely recommend that you keep your flip-flops on throughout!
The area with the lockers seems to be mixed sex and I could only see 3 changing cabins by the toilet and shower area.

Inside has 3 baths (38C, 36C and 20C), a sauna and ice area. There is a massage area too but I didn't use it, so can't comment.
Outside there are two pools (38C and 36C), a couple of grassed sun lounger areas and from the outside you can go to a further sauna, bath and toilet area via steps down underneath the building.
I didn't think much of the cleanliness; despite having to shower before entering the water, ALL of the pools could do with a really good clean, there was ingrained dirt on the floors, scummy marks on the steps and at water level and the tiles felt slimy to touch. The sauna/toilet area accessed from outside smelt of stale urine in the whole area, not very relaxing or good for my 'wellness'. It was absolutely vile and I left as soon as the smell hit me!
I would recommend that tourists visit the more touristy and better maintained baths. We didn't have time so as previously mentioned, this was a last minute trip, although I did consult trip advisor first and it had decent enough reviews. Perhaps my standards are higher or perhaps I was just unlucky. Either way, I wouldn't recommend this place and certainly not after their staffs sly behaviour!

We don't cheat just your nephew made a mistake.
The older 10.000 HUF is a legal trender in Hungary. You can check it at our National Bank website: https://www.mnb.hu/en/banknotes-and-coins/news/detailed-summary-of-circulating-forint-banknotes
I quote it for you: "Remains in circulation; the MNB will provide information about their withdrawal at a later date."
We are sincerely apologize for your inconveniences.
Thank you for your comprehensive review.,
We are working to became better and better to fullfill our customer's expectations.
