Prague Spa extravaganza!
We had so much fun! Very unique experience. The place is large with lots of options. Can be overwhelming. The staff could be a bit more knowledgeable when answering guest questions. One large outdoor pool was closed making it more crowded in the other pool. I am not sure we received the experience we paid for in advance. Worth visiting

Fun morning but crowded!
We enjoyed our morning at the spa but was disappointed that the main pool was closed and we were not notified before booking. Due to the closure the other pools were very crowded. The highlight was the beer spa... Thermal bath with your own keg tap :) Bring your own towels and flip-flops. You can buy them there but sizing is limited and they are not cheap.

Iconic and a must visit in Budapest.
Go prepared with the right footwear and hair ties etc. hiring a cabin was a great option. Look on the website and do your homework as it tells what is closed for regular maintenance.

One of the outdoor pools...
One of the outdoor pools was closed. Cabin usage was confusing. Otherwise we had a great experience with friends.

Dirty, dirty, dirty
If you want to go to an extremely crowded and very dirty thermal spa then come here. The smell was terrible and there were literally bandaids floating in the pools. We stayed for about 15 minutes and had to get out because it was so disgusting.

Lovely morning in the baths.
Fun times in the water, loved the outside baths, inside not so much. Go early, we got in at 9 and was already hard to get a lounge, by lunch when we left was really full. The whirlpool was so fun running with the current, had a fun time with an aqua instruction class, great music and energy, most of pool joined in!
Outside is quite shabby which is a surprise, but inside is very clean and well kept. Nice walk thru park to find it

A great spa! Lots of options.
Disappointed that the main thermal bath was under repair. We understand the need for maintenance. However, as tourists who booked online it would have been appreciated to know this. Thank you.

It's a Budapest staple
Glad we went. Huge beautiful place and took advantage of both large pools, sauna, steam room, hot thermal baths. There is no orientation briefing to tell you what is where or what you do and do not have access to given your ticket. But- decent signage and some walking around and you figure it out. Recommend you try this or similar.

A reasonable morning out.
We had a basic package without the extras.
We arrived by 9.15 am and managed to find some beds outside in the sun.
There were a number of closed pools and saunas but plenty open.
My favourite was a citrus sauna.
By midday I was ready to go.
