Total rip off. They make you buy a towel and pool shoes. The place is very crowded and falling apart. Looks like it hasn’t had any maintenance in years. Go to a smaller one and get a good day’s soak.

I had booked this for a Sunday morning at 09:00. The sun was shining and there was no que so we were able to go straight in. We had booked a cabin which was smaller than I thought it would be, but still perfectly adequate. The thermal baths were everything I hoped they would be.
One of the large outdoor pools was closed which we weren’t informed about ahead of time. Everyone crowded around the main pool area and lounge chairs were hard to come by. It seemed way too busy for having a pool closed. One of the indoor pools was not clean water, so we didn’t risk going into other pools indoors. We went for the experience….but we wouldn’t ever go again.
Hi had a lovely day at the spa, got there at 0900, got a sunbed and then went to all the pools steam room etc- lots to choose from. had a sandwich lunch and a drink which was reasonable. we opted for the lockers which was great to leave stuff and valuables. The water in the toilets and showers stopped but were quickly repaired but didnt ruin our day and we had the bonus of 29c. it is an old spa so some pools looked grubby but this may be wear and tear
Too many people, one pool closed and another one converted to lanes for people to swim lengths meant it felt very crowded in the remaining outside pool. The indoor pools were also quite busy. The water in the pools was great at 27 degrees. The thing that struck me most was how dilapidated the building is, such potential has been allowed to deteriorate which is a great shame.
I feel like this is a “take it or leave it” experience when in Hungary. I had seen the most of the city by the time I went. Hung out for a few hours and it was fine.
very pretty and functional thermal baths . There are many pools inside and outside .The water temperature varies according to the pools and goes from 28 to 38 degrees . You can take a lounge chair and sunbathe outside if the weather is nice . the lounge chairs are free . you must bring your swimsuit , your towel , bath shoes are mandatory . You can have lunch inside , there is a small very decent self-service . taking a cabin to change is better for 3 euros . You can also pay for admission upon arriving at the site , it is cheaper than with booking ( price of 36 euros directly ). preferably go during the week because the weekend it is crowded . Overall I recommend , a bit expensive but you go there only 1 time . I liked it and did it 2 times .
Excellent day enjoying the pools. The weather was beautiful and the temps in the pools were delicious
the spa was very easy to find. we took the underground from the center and it took us direct to the spa. Very easy to get into and changes rooms were clean. the water felt amazing and we wondered through the facility to check out other pools and saunas. Had a nice wine on the patio.
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
