The baths were so warm. I really enjoyed the adventure pool with the swirly "lazy river". Didn't use the jacuzzi but many did and seemed to enjoy it. It was also nice to have lunch on the terrace. The wonderfully warm main "bath" I will never forget. It wasn't overcrowded and it was a great way to spend our last day before returning to the UK. Checked out of our hotel and with the aid of the cabin were able to store our luggage whilst enjoying the pool. A quick uber to the airport and we were on our way having had a wonderful restful day.

Chose the private cabin, this made the experience really easy going. It's a very small cabin, perfect for just one person to change in at a time. If you go with a group you could all put your items in the cabin if you want, and not in individual lockers. But I wouldn't suggest more than one changes in a cabin at once. I've been the the Gellert spa, which I think was more beautiful, but this spa was very nice. Lots of space and different pools to go into. Only some of the sauna rooms were very crowded.

Useful cruise to learn about the various attractions in Budapest. You can use your cell phone to listen to the audio guide. The only flaw is the background music: you can't put random pop/rock songs from the radio on me during such an activity. The spa is okay, very historic, although expectations were higher. Unfortunately, the only pool that differs from the others is the outdoor one with some whirlpools. Otherwise they are all very similar. Length of stay 3/4 hours, no more.

    In the case of the spa it was a positive activity, we enjoyed the experience but in the cruise we spent almost an hour waiting for the boat to leave, they put us on the boat that corresponded with the tickets purchased but after a while they told us that there were problems, that we could do the activity on another one (a boat that looked like a very old fishing boat with a very unpleasant smell of fuel) or that we could resume the experience another day (in our case unfeasible since we were leaving Budapest the next day). The truth is that the organization was terrible. I would recommend other visitors not to contract the activity with Silverline Cruises.

    Széchenyi is a must-visit if you’re in Budapest and want a genuine thermal-bath experience with historic character. It delivers something unique that typical spa resorts won’t. However, it’s best enjoyed with realistic expectations: yes it’s special, but it’s also busy and a bit “public bath” style rather than exclusive luxury. If you focus on the water, the architecture and the vibe, you’ll really enjoy it.

    Pleased we had a private cabin and a secure place to leave clothes and valuables. One thermal pool was closed,due to maintainance so it did get quite crowded in the other pool. Beutiful setting and a lovely way to spend the afternoon We did think we would be able to hire towels ,but had to buy towels &flip flops and you needed a swimming hat to swim in main pool.

    Very nice bath with multiple mineral pools inside und three pools outside. The large pool outside is for swimming and requires that a cap is worn. The two other pools outside are warm enough to just stand around and maybe play a game of chess. All in all very relaxing. I could easily spend a whole week there. Take dour time and enjoy the flair.
