We had a lovely long lazy morning in the spa and thermal baths. A great way to round off a long weekend of walking the city. Other reviews say how busy it can get – so we arrived early (ish) on a Monday morning and it was fine. But I can see how it would get busy at peak times. The outdoor pool was lovely – perfectly warm (38) on a chilly autumn morning. And then the indoor area had lots of choice from more warm baths to steam room and saunas (of varying temperature – so something for everyone). Do remember to take flip-flops and your own towel. Also – your towel will get wet as you go around, so a second towel for finally getting changed when you leave would also be handy.

Great experience at the thermal baths. Easy booking process. We chose the €30 package with arrival before 9:00 AM (locker and shared changing room without a private cabin, but that's plenty). Easy entry to the baths with the online reservation. Not too crowded. We stayed for the whole morning. It was perfect (several pools – bring your own towel, flip-flops, and a swim cap, which is only needed for the lap pool. FYI, they have everything there, for a fee I assume). A pure moment of relaxation. You won't regret it!

The experience at the Budapest thermal baths was simply magical and unforgettable. Everything was excellent, from the atmosphere to the feeling of relaxation and wellness. It was an incredible, very rich, and special experience, the kind that stays with you forever. I would repeat it a thousand times in my life! Without a doubt, an experience I totally recommend and that shouldn't be missed on a visit to Budapest. ✨

The water was warm and pleasant, and everything was very clean. However, I would have appreciated the option to rent a bathrobe, as it gets cold and the towel eventually becomes wet. Heating lamps in the seating areas near the pool would also have made a big difference in keeping guests warm and comfortable.

The location is very strategic, the pool is clean, and it was not crowded. There are several areas and activities included, such as hot and cold pools, a sauna, and a jacuzzi. The staff is wonderful and always ready to help with anything. Getting to the site is convenient, and the bathrooms are clean. It was a truly excellent experience and we will definitely come back. Quiet, well-organized, and far exceeded our expectations in the best way.

A timeless escape, a true moment of well-being! ✨ We had a wonderful time at the Budapest thermal baths, an experience we recommend without hesitation to anyone looking to treat themselves to a truly relaxing break. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and very professional, which immediately made the visit enjoyable. The baths are clean, well-maintained, and meticulously kept right down to the outdoor spaces, especially the greenery, which adds immensely to the charm and beauty of the venue. The signage is also clear and well thought-out, making it easy to find your way around and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. Between the stunning setting, the soothing atmosphere, and the quality of the welcome, we felt like we treated ourselves to a true timeless escape far from the daily grind. It's so much more than a simple visit: it's a wellness experience that will remain a fond memory. A must-do when visiting Budapest! We leave relaxed, delighted, and eager to repeat the experience 💙

A truly wonderful experience at Budapest's Széchenyi Baths! The outdoor pools are spectacular, especially with the contrast between the warm water and the outside temperature. The facility is charming and offers several pools to relax in. Admission with Headout was smooth and hassle-free. The only downside: some areas are a bit crowded and the changing rooms could be managed better. Overall, an experience I definitely recommend to anyone visiting Budapest!

The place is beautiful and the surrounding gardens are wonderful. There are various pools and saunas, the best one being one of the outdoor ones. It's October and we weren't cold at all. Some of the pools didn't have very clean water. We paid for two cabins, but they only gave us one, and they are very small for two people.
