Great day out - Despite the large number of people it is so well organised and there is such a large choice of pools it was a great day out.

Architecture is breathtaking - What a great exerience. The beautiful gardens and pools are not to be missed. We were sad to see the hotel had been abandoned and is being refurbished. Hopefully to its former glory. Make sure you arrange for transportation to and from as there are not any taxi stands close by. The staff can not call a taxi for you.

Relaxing! But come prepared - It was super relaxing and not too crowded. Bring towels and flip flops if you don’t want to purchase them.

Go but carefully. - The Spa is beautiful architecturally. Pools and water are not bad, especially the indoor center. The outside I only saw, but don't stay because I don't sunbathe, I imagine in winter with the hot water will be great. It has showers, bathtub dryer, etc. What I don't like: You're supposed to have your head covered and we'll take a swim cap, and if you don't have one, they'll sell it to you there. But they only demand it for the indoor central pool, the long one. Not in the rest, so if there are already enough “body” hairs then you add the ones on your head. And you better take some cheap flip-flops or the ones they sell there. Because they're left at the entrance to the pools and when my husband left one of them, they were gone, they were stolen. I went to say it and they told me they were sorry. They offered him one of their own plastic ones they sell. I thought the detail was terrible.

A great experience - We loved this experience! Beautiful surrounds while you are in the baths. Staff was helpful. We enjoyed our massages. This IS NOT a fancy spa experience. Changing cabins are small and you have to bring your own towels, but it is upscale compared to the public baths. Everyone should do it at least once.

Great place to relax and unwind - A great place to unwind and relax after a busy day walking around Budapest.
They have 4 heated pool ranging from 34C, 36C, 38C and 40C and several outdoor pools with colder water.
Unfortunately the day I visited the spa and sauna were closed for restoration works

Nice but the sale of... - Nice but the sale of hats and towels should be at the entrance and not near the pools.

Total rip off - Total waste of money- this experience is a rip off for tourists- overpriced, grubby - basically paying £37 for swimming pools that are unkempt!
