We arrived 1030am on a... - We arrived 1030am on a Tuesday. Very little queue for our pre booked online ticket. We knew it may well get busy so went early ish. We enjoyed our time there, outdoor swimming pool where you need hats is currently closed (so couldn't wear the special flowery hats I purchased 😀). Still loads of pools to explore. We booked a cabin which was useful. Go with an open mind and ready to take photos.

Great time - We booked this online. Around £30 each. Massive building and loads of pools, saunas, hot pools, warm pools and plunge pools etc. Definitely worth a visit. The lazy river when on full blast is great fun!

Great experience and very relaxing! - We chose the day spa with access to the palm relaxation area. We were provided with a private changing cabin which we could keep our clothes and valuables in, we were also each given a robe, a towel and flip flops. Although you can bring your own flip flops if you don’t need them or won’t use them following on from the day. There are so many saunas, steam rooms and pools. In the winter you can dry your towel on the radiators while you’re in each room. The thermal pools are amazing and you must try the volcano sauna, followed by the cold plunge pool. It’s well worth a visit to one of the spas if you’re visiting Budapest, and this is one of Europes largest! You could easily spend the whole day here.

Great way to start a trip - One of the better experiences I’ve had abroad that blends tourism and local activity. Despite being a big attraction there were a ton of locals going about their daily routine at the baths. The baths were relaxing and the architecture is worth the price of admission alone.

Fantastic - The only thing I was a bit disappointed with was I booked the cabin and wine tasting thinking the wine tasting was at the baths however it was in a totally different place so didn’t end up going as to far away but the rest was fantastic and finished with a delicious hot chocolate from Kiosk

Beautiful spa - Take flip flops, towel and a cover up for winter as cold getting in between spas esp when wet. Beautiful place, drinks and snacks to keep you replenished. A lovely spa with a great vibe.

Not worth it - Overpriced, we visited while construction was ongoing on the outside pool, we weren’t informed of this when purchasing ticket, nor was the ticket discounted! Inside pools are dirty, tiles aren’t clean and spaces for leaving belongings are limited. Only 1 restaurant available that doesn’t accommodate for food allergies. Ordering is a nightmare with the constant queue of people, too little staff to accommodate so many people. Staff themselves are less than helpful, never smile & couldn’t be bothered with anything. This was on a Monday!

Once and never again - Loud, crowded, no rest in the building, the probably beautiful large outdoor complex looks like a construction site where right and left are semicircular pools of water. Everything very old and not very clean. The information is poor, sometimes in English, sometimes only Hungarian. Mostly the guests who don't know their way around, tourists, seem to walk along the basins looking for something. The highlight was that a tourist group with a guide in street clothes was led past us. We book the visit as an absolute flop.
