⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to everyone! The combined spa and night cruise on the Danube was one of the highlights of our trip. After spending a few hours at the spa, enjoying relaxing pools and moments of pure wellness, we ended the day with a wonderful evening cruise on the Danube. Sailing at night, admiring the illuminated monuments and the cityscape reflected on the water, was simply thrilling. The atmosphere was magical, romantic, and evocative, creating moments that will remain etched in our memories for a long time. The contrast between the relaxation of the spa and the historical and cultural beauty visible from the river makes this combination truly perfect. The organization was impeccable and the value for money surprising: for the cost of the experience, you get much more than you’d expect. It’s an offer that lets you experience two fundamental aspects of the city—wellness and its history—in a single day. If you’re looking for something that combines relaxation, culture, breathtaking views, and authentic experiences, this is undoubtedly an experience not to be missed. I would do it again in a heartbeat and recommend it without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We booked a pass that included a locker, and we went there at 8 a.m. on a Thursday. We got in very quickly—there was no line. There are small changing rooms with large lockers to store your belongings. In the morning, we started with the indoor pools. Very few people in some of the pools—we were alone. There are lockers next to each pool to put your phone, towels, etc. There are many pools with different temperatures. Very pleasant. Around 10 a.m., we went to the outdoor pools... really nice... there were a few more people, but it was fine. There were plenty of lounge chairs... we stayed until noon. Great experience.

Experiencia muy satisfactoria, tanto por el disfrute en sí de la actividad como por la facilidad para llevarla a cabo. Se trata de un punto de fácil acceso tanto por metro como por carretera o incluso andando. Una vez llegas, todo está perfectamente indicado para entrar al recinto. Ningún impedimento un vez allí. Todas las cuestiones aparecen señalado de forma clara. Cabe destacar que gracias a hacer la compra online se evitan colas, ya que hay varias filas: fila con entrada recién comprada (algo más tedioso) y fila con entrada online (es ir en línea recta hasta la zona donde escaneas el código y entras, dando así con los vestuarios).

Great day out at Szechenyi Spa. Beautiful outdoor pools' which were very therapeutic. Adventure pool was great fun with a whirlpool and several jet spouts giving super massage. The indoor pools' looked less inviting, a bit tired and didn't look clean so we didn't use them. Didn't try the saunas as not for us. Getting a sun lounger was difficult as the pool area was packed as such beautiful weather the day we went. We did eventually manage to get a couple, so then able to relax properly. Good value for fun & relaxing day out. Having a changing cabin made a difference for ease of changing too.

Ending the second-to-last day with a relaxing swim was a great way to recover physically from all the walking. I highly recommend using the indoor pools—especially the 20-degree one, along with the others—for that purpose, and the outdoor pools for fun. As for the cruise, it’s a great way to get full shots of the buildings and bridges from a different perspective, and 8:30 p.m. was the best time in June to capture them at sunset and dusk. I recommend this combo as the most interesting of the excursions.

I had a really great time at the Budapest thermal baths. I recommend going on your last or second-to-last day to help you unwind.

The facility offers various types of packages, each with a specific entrance that may not be immediately obvious, but the staff are happy to provide directions. The outdoor area is the largest and most spacious, featuring three pools, and there are lounge chairs along the edges that are available to guests if you’re lucky enough to find them free. Inside, we found three areas with pools and saunas that were closed for maintenance. There is some moisture on the ceilings of a few rooms, but this is acceptable given the nature of the facility. Staff regularly come by with mops to remove any water residue on the floor. Since the space is very large, we had no trouble finding a spot in the various pools and saunas, which are ultimately quite similar to one another. The cruise, which departs at 8:30 PM to take advantage of both sunlight and the effect of the illuminated buildings after sunset, allows you to take photos with different atmospheres. The boat was spacious and well-organized; the open-air area on the upper deck is perhaps a bit small and doesn’t offer space for a large number of people. The audio guide is accessible via a phone app; it may not start automatically at the various points of interest even with GPS enabled, but the information provided is still comprehensive.
