Seemed quite expensive at the outset but wort it in my opinion. Weather the waters are healing or not its a truely special experience. Snow on the ground made the 38degree waters even more special. Top tip, book the cabin so you can leave your belongings and maybe even take a picnic if the weather is warm. Great experience can't wait to visit again.

Great way to relax and spend a few hours doing something different. Doesn’t matter the weather although make sure you move quick when out of the baths in winter :)

Doing this in winter with the ground covered in snow was fun for us and made this experience that bit more special. If you need flip flops or bathing cap bring them with you as they are expensive in the onsite shop. Also bring a big towel the wrap yourself in if you go in winter.

It was amazing, I really enjoyed the Thermal Spa. Very well organized and had great deals. I would go back if I ever go to Budapest again.

Wonderful relaxing experience, a must do when you visit Budapest. Relatively easy process to get inside and friendly staff.

Certainly worth seeing and experiencing. It was very cold outside. Make sure you bring your sliders and a gown.

Thermal baths are a must do in Budapest. It’s very busy but we enjoyed it. Everything is well organised. Don’t forget towels and flip flops or you’ll have to buy them before they let you in.

Great experience, one of the must do things. Probably don’t need more than an hour in the baths. Tip if you are going as a family get a couple of cabin changing rooms as you can leave your stuff inside. I thought you could hire towels but this isn’t the case so ended up costed a fair bit to buy towels. If you are staying in a hotel take some from there and flip flops. A good outing had by all the family .
