Széchenyi Spa & Cruise: Unforgettable Budapest Evening Escape

It's overall a good deal. We've spent 3 to 4 hours relaxing at the spa, and the boat trip takes 1,5 hours. So you can enter the spa at 15.00, leave at 19.00, have enough time for dinner and hop on the cruise. The spa: There are many pools inside, but they aren't all unique. Take a good look at the maps to know which ones you want to try. The pools themselves don't have signs, the map has all of the information. Bring your own towel and slippers, those are manditory. The water may leave you smelling a bit weird, they do offer soap at some showers, but no shampoo. The cruise: The view is much better if you sit on the outside of the ship. There are enough seats there, but bring a coat in case it gets cold! Inside there is traditional music and dance. Take a seat near the buffet area if you want a better view on that. Overall 1,5 hour well spent.

Quite hard to get your bearings at the spa. We didn’t know we had to bring foot wear (spa shoes) otherwise they will charge around £8 for a pair. Good experience but very busy. Boat trip was great Hungarian dancers great photos and lovely

This is a place in Budapest that is a must do. The thermal baths are in a beautiful building and there are many different pools with different temperatures to enjoy. The outdoor pool is wonderful with a small swirling area in the middle that was really fun! Would absolutely do this again when in Budapest!

Head to spa early to beat the crowd. Take your time and enjoy all the spa has to offer. The food on the dinner cruise was excellent and the service was outstanding

Challenge getting in to spa - Trip Advisor sent bar code ticket but local entity failed to send needed QR code which delayed entry. That said, the spas were beautiful and a wonderful in country experience, the boat ride relaxing. Good value for money!

The experience was great but Viator did not provide information or tickets for dinner cruise. It caused a bit of confusion boarding the boat. The dinner cruise food and entertainment was great.

Fantastic day which started at the wonderful spa which is located next to Hero’s square. The spa was wonderful, clean, historic and a great way to relax. The cabins to change in were quite charming and also acted as a locker for your bags and clothes. The outside thermal pools were amazing even though the outside temp was a bit chilly. The indoor steam rooms, cold plunge pool ( which literally took our breaths away), salt room and crescent pool remind me a roman history lesson. We stayed here for approximately3 hours then ambled across to the park/ castle with some great statues, gardens and a lovely cafe (called anonymous) overlooking the lake where we sampled a goulash and was very well priced. After a short break back at hotel, we then made our way to the dinner cruise which is fully recommended. An absolute joyous evening with traditional music, dancers and three course meal. You even get serenaded at your table where they will play any requests ( moon river, titanic theme tune were quite popular). Our waiter was Mr invisible however and o ly was seen at the start and end of the evening which was the only disappointment of the evening. All in all, a very good way to spend a day in Budapest!

Don't forget to take flip flops and your own towel for the spa. Spa was nice but very crowded and a bit dated but still nice especially the lazy river. Boat trip was 5 star. Good food, entertainment and service.

Very well organised and clean. Best to end the holiday with a relaxing day after roaming around Budapest’s streets

Széchenyi Spa with Dinner & Cruise Combo Deal was Excellent! This review is based on my own experience and is my genuine opinion of this operator/experience, and that I have no personal or business relationship with this operator.
