It was impossible to find the guide for the walking tour, and the main pool of the spa is with work in progress, someone should have communicated that. Otherwise everything was fine.

We didn't like that the Széchenyi spa pools were under construction, there was no protection from the work, everyone could see all the people, a lot of noise, not worth the money.
