Budapest Lukacs Bath: Authentic Thermal Spa Escape & Rejuvenation

It was a bit of a let down. We found it hard to figure out the ones and outs of the towels and locker room, as there was no signage in English. The main floor attendant was super nice and had to help us out a few times. The pools were ok, the sauna was down for maintenance. Bring your own towel and bathing cap!!! We did another thermal bath outside of town and it was less crowded and had way more saunas.

Fantastic baths,recommend everything, the sauna experience followed by ice bath is particularly invigorating

Loved it, a hot day in Budapest and we cooled down here. Something for everyone. Whirlpool/lazy river, bubble chairs. 2 huge swimming pools and lots of thermal plunge pools. We chose this one because we purchased a 72hr plus card for travelling around and this came with a free visit to the baths. Hat needed for swimming in the main pools, available to purchases for 2000ft from reception.

The thermal baths and pools outside were all lovely, great facilities. However, very hard checking in at reception as someone speaking english, staff repeatedly spoke hungarian in our faces and made no attempt to try help us, gave us dirty looks and sighs as we tried to show our tickets

Fantastic spa! Despite going in peak August it was not very busy and felt very authentic, not too expensive either. Highly recommend.

Great spa! We went in peak season in summer but it was still not very crowded, really fun lazy river and other pools. Much better than other spas that have been described as ‘human soup’.

Great time had by us both, a little challenging to find the entrance but we got there in the end! Lovely staff, very helpful and polite. I did have to ask for some direction as it was not forthcoming and map would be helpful as it is a maze of corridors. A great experience at a very affordable price, would recommend.

We loved it here, in fact we got in free with our Budapest card (which is expensive but can be worth it if you’re planning visiting certain places, for eg, the hop on hop off bus at Buda Castle is free with the card). St Lukacs is a little more run down than other baths, but it’s still flipping great! It’s a bit of a warren to explore but we found many people spoke good enough English to assist. Oh….pay a bit extra for Sauna World, it’s worth it. :)

Could be signposted in English for better experience. Staff at ticket office not very helpful. Overall great afternoon at the baths!

We had a great time. Cleanliness, courtesy, efficiency. Several swimming pools with different temperatures from 24° to 40-50° (to boil!!!) and saunas. Beautiful experience to recommend to water lovers to relax.
