“Absolutely amazing experience. We purchased a changing room lockable area, worth the money. Nice and clean throughout. Take two towels & your flip flops- you can buy these also from the spa shop. We visited the spa during winter and our towels got damp outside hung up so next time I’d take 2 towels. Swimming cap needed if you want to go in the lane swimming outdoor pool. We really enjoyed our visit! Staff very friendly and helpful. Very good value for money”
Spend a full day at Budapest’s art nouveau Gellert Spa, with 13 thermal pools, saunas, steam rooms, and a private cabin or locker.
“This experience was very expensive. We paid a lot of money for a dip in a fancy “hot tub”. It was underwhelming at best. There should’ve been an option to pay for a two hour experience. There was not. We paid for a full day experience for two. There wasn’t enough to do there for a full day.”

Soak in a private thermal beer bath at Lukács Baths in Budapest, with warm water, beer ingredients, unlimited Czech beer, and a 45-minute session.
“Be sure to bring towel and sandals even if it sux to carry them around all day. The staff were not terribly pleasant and paying 5000 forint for a 799forint towel is ridiculous. At least put your logo on it or Budapest to make it worth buying, but you should include the towel for what you charge. The bathrooms smelled so bad, and since we did not realize we needed sandals we had to walk about barefooted. The hot tub and beer part were good but the rest was not. It was stressful not relaxing and for tourist who are out and about all day, having to bring towels etc…”

“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.”
