About 4500 HUF for entrance and locker. They have different pools with different water temp but not one of them is really that hot, all comfortable hot. But the sauna -man! One of the hottest I have ever been to even hotter than the Korean Jjimjilbang saunas I've been to. Though it is open to man and women, women won't... More

It definitely isn't cheap by Hungarian standards to pay the entry, but my wife and I really enjoyed our time there, trying all the different baths, pools and saunas

This was a great place to stop off after we arrived in the city. It was an excellent place to cool off and relax. There was plenty of activities to participate in (around the outside pool) so there wasn't a dull moment. However, it was a bit crowded and the locker room reminded me of the one at my high... More

We were rather nervous about going here but really shouldn't have been. It is really well set up, we paid for a cabin each which is like a little changing room only accessable with the wrist band you are provided with so safe for valuables. The baths are very clean and despite going on a hot Saturday afternoon it was... More

On our last full day in Budapest we walked to the heroes square & the szechenyi baths... I'd booked a massage but my partner was planning on just sitting in/ by the pools. Despite having my booking the process of explaining the (complex) process of getting a private area to change & getting in took ages. And this was a... More

For a first time visitor Szechenyi is a very pleasant afternoon. It is the most popular and perhaps the best known of the baths in Budapest and is always open to everyone. It has a huge yellow roccoco facade with two large outdoor pools, one of which has a spiralling current. In the buildings surrounding the outdoor pools there are... More

We had been warned to be prepared for difficulties; that said, the only problem was the wait in line for towels. It was easy enough to get the tickets for the baths, so we went downstairs, found the lockers, but then were on a search for towels. The towel concession was run by a single person who had to check... More

Our Friday at Szechenyi Baths was a definite highlight of our stay in Budapest! I have to say that we experienced absolutely none of the negatives that other reviewers pointed out. As we walked in (we used the door closest to the M-1 metro exit) a young guy host asked us--in perfect English--if he could help us, and guided us... More

The baths are very goodand absolute value for money there are adequate no. Of pools with varying temperatures and very relaxing. The problem arises if you opt for a massage along with it. The areas designated for the massage for males and ladies are far apart and the staff inside the actual area are clueless and do not understand English.... More

Walked from across the town and had a hot afternoon in this spa. Relaxing and nice surroundings. Not very good food though...
