Budapest Baths in Winter

We loved the evening cruise on our first night in Budapest, a great introduction to the city. The spa was amazing the next day. Ticketing, information and directions were all straightforward but no ID documents required for either booking.

An experience not to be missed. Heated outdoor pool, very nice building. Good internal circuit of pools of different temperatures. Saunas, ice. Very amusing and without agglomerations in summer. Highly recommended and essential if you visit Budapest.

Amazing buildings and atmosphere, have to try this, went at the height of Summer, but probably even better when colder. Highlight of our trip!

Top spa experience, won over by the beerspa; Disappointing cruise, a roundabout ride with only purpose to get you consumed; recommended in the evening when the city lights make the atmosphere magical

I loved the spa, although the big pool was closed for construction, the other facilities were great. And the audio tour of the parliament seemed very short and rushed.

We loved it! The baths are magnificent, the staff are friendly. Everything is clean. The pool water is very warm. Truly an experience not to be missed!

Absolutely loved it, especially all the pools, pity there was work going on in the middle of pools.. loved the ice baths to also weather was lovely, BUT you need to ask the staff there to go on a training course for customer service there attitude towards customers are applauding and disrespectful. That would not happen here in Liverpool we paid a lot of money to go on holiday and for different activities m, if they treat people like this they should not be in this line of work. Hopefully you will be able to rectify this and put them on a training course soon

The baths were very relaxing and stunning! Downsides are that it does feel crowded in comparison to others, very difficult to get a sunbed :( and, finding your way around was a bit challenging sometimes but some staff were very helpful.

Satisfied with the experience, we had a great time. Located in the city park. Great variety of pools, clean.

What I loved the most about this experience was entering lots of saunas and pools. I had a really different experience for me.

Everything is well organized, with badge entry and private lockers. Everything is very clean, toilets and showers. People clean up all the time. It's a pity that the central pool is being renovated.

The highlight of my visit was the whirlpool in the fun pool and the large outdoor hot pool. Was great having the safety and privacy of a private cabin. Was a great day spent 5 hours just having fun.

Beautiful environment , with several indoor and outdoor pools at various gradations and comfortable cabins .

The location and organization The massage and the friendliness of the people

it was the best place ♥️♥️ thank you

A very pleasant day at the Szchenyi baths, but it's a pity that the central pool is still under construction.

Very nice Very attentive cleanliness and order

The beauty of the location, the multitude of thermal pools, steam rooms and saunas. The private cabin.

Authentic thermal baths with several pools at different temperatures to suit everyone

Very easy to book through Headout which made it easy to get into the restrooms, no lines, and no waiting.

Lovely experience great place for our party xxx

Private locker with cabin. The indoor baths are in need of renovation for hygiene and aesthetics.

Awesome place... Fully recomended

Clean cabins. Lots of baths. Old-fashioned style preserved, giving it plenty of style.

This experience is perfect for those who wish to rest and relax.

The tickets I booked were as described, but as far as the thermal baths were concerned, I was a little disappointed. In reality, they are swimming pools at different temperatures, which is nice but nothing more.

Our visit to Gellért Thermal Baths was the ultimate way to relax in Budapest. The highlight for both of us was definitely the 40°C thermal pool! We loved the contrast of dipping into the cold plunge pool right after—it was exhilarating and left us feeling amazing. Having a private cabin made everything easy and stress-free, giving us space to change and store our things comfortably. Only one steam room was working, so was a little crowded at times. Also, the wave pool is going to be repaired, so wasn't working. But did not meter from how amazing the spa is. The facilities were beautifully kept, with a serene atmosphere throughout. While food and drink prices were a little steep, it didn’t take away from how special the overall experience was. Highly recommend booking ahead through Headout—smooth and reliable. A five-star spa day!

The truth is that everything has been easy. From the purchase process, follow-up and communication. The thermal baths of Gellert we have fallen in love with super quiet and very complete. It transports you to the 19th century and you leave there refreshed. The boat is also a marvel, at 20.30 it is not yet night and it is the return when you start to see it all illuminated. The parliament is something magical, day and night.

Very good but not great. The baths are considered the most luxurious, but I think you have to understand by the: historical. The place is beautiful but needs major renovation. If you've forgotten your equipment, it's possible to buy it all on site. The cabins are very practical for leaving personal belongings. The pools are top-notch, especially the 40-degree pool. Beware, this is a mixed area. The outdoor pool was crowded. Good experience, but not exceptional. I'd recommend it!

Lovely indoor and outdoor swimming pools and hot baths, we went on Monday so not too crowded

Very good, relaxing. Not to much people, the place is beautiful

Head out made it easy to get into Gellert baths area and enjoy all that they had to offer!

Several pools and baths, very pleasant! A pity about the outdoor pool, which is currently being renovated...

The atmosphere, the organization

Excellent thermal water, beautiful stylish place, historical building. The garden is wonderful. 😍 The staff at the reception and the restaurant are kind and helpful. Everybody speaks good English.

The baths were lovely. We enjoyed the soak and relax of the environment. we were a bit annoyed that towels weren't provided and you had to buy them. The 'to bring' list we saw showed everything but towels. Overall glad we went.

The pools were lovely, not too many people, felt clean. The whole facility was pretty big so a bit hard to navigate on my own.

I had no problem buying tickets. Beautiful experience. Enjoying the spa in a historical setting. Wonderful!

The various pools are quite large and clean, despite the fact that we were in August we had no problems with crowding. I would return and recommend them.

The experience was wonderful but they did have a few things closed. I got a wonderful massage from Barbara. Highly recommend

It is very good to save a little when you go on a trip and this combo is worth it. The boat trip was good, it is nice to see the city from the river, even if it is not at sunset, and we liked the spa very much. On the boat you can have a beer at affordable prices; at the spa you can take a sandwich if you don't want to eat there.

The thermal bathes are wonderful historical memories. Sculptures and mosaics .. the spa thermal water is a high healing power. The pool beautiful and the temperature is optimal. All the experience is fantastic. The garden with pools, flowers and terraces are so calming. Sunbathing so relaxing in this historical stylish elegance.

Top experience: Gellert Baths combo (arrived when the baths opened, so a great time during the first few hours, then the world began to arrive) + breathtaking night cruise on the Danube!

Had the most relaxing day at the Gellert thermal baths in Budapest. The outdoor pools felt very clean and the statues, flowers etc were so beautiful. Lots of beds to relax in the sun and seats in the shade too. Would love to come back next time we're in Budapest!

Excellent experience ! Beautiful stylish - Historical building, and the garden is so amazing. The thermal bath outdoor is so good for relaxing and sport-rehabilitation. The sunbeds are very comfortable. The bar offers several delicious food- also cold and warm kitchen- the Gundel pancake must to taste- so Hungarian delicious plate! Only cards they accept to pay, no cash .. just a practical advice! I truly recommend this beautiful bath during your stay in Budapest!

Quick and easy arrival. Plenty of lockers available. Everything is straightforward. The premises are very beautiful. We had a very pleasant time

Was not my first time here, it's was the 2th time I visited this Georgious Bathhouse, last time I only found the sauna area and the baths near there at the end of my visit. This time I was able to spent there some more time. But now when I got my massage I discovered that on the opposite side there was a similar set up, unfortunatly it didn't have the same or not even a simmal design. It felt really bland in comparison to the ones on the other side. The massage was great, the terrapist did a great job a bit pitty though she didn't speak Enlish. Which would ve helpull for communicating where my oroblems are and where my sensitive spots are. In the end we got there but with difficulty. Also we booked with cabin this time and we thought it was 1 cabin for the both of us, and that felt a bit small and tight. But later we learned we had payed for 2 cabins but than they were on the completely opposite sites from each other. So maybe that's something you can consider to watch out for in the future that if people come together they will gave cabins near each other.

A magnificent place! Even if these thermal baths are very old and perhaps no longer correspond to today's standards for fussy people, they remain a treasure for immersing yourself in the Art Nouveau atmosphere of their creation. Enjoy the mosaics, the blue earthenware, the hot and cold baths, the hammam, the sauna...and finish off with a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool, with its trompe-l'oeil in faux Baroque, before heading back to the City :)

The baths were amazing. A huge, incredible art deco style building with various swimming pools, thermal pools, saunas. (the steam room was of of sctuon). It took quite some time to orient oneself and find one's way around. Were I ever to visit again it would be much easier. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. At the outside pool were cafes but all our valuables were locked away so we had no means to pay. Again a lesson for a future visit.

Checking in was easy. Definitely worth booking online. The thermal spas were brilliant!! I did find it strange as a guy we had to buy a swimming hat to enter the main pool. Nice selection of pools, Saunas and spas! Would recommend to anyone visiting Budapest! Well worth the £38

We loved the evening cruise on our first night in Budapest, a great introduction to the city. The spa was amazing the next day. Ticketing, information and directions were all straightforward but no ID documents required for either booking.

An experience not to be missed. Heated outdoor pool, very nice building. Good internal circuit of pools of different temperatures. Saunas, ice. Very amusing and without agglomerations in summer. Highly recommended and essential if you visit Budapest.

Amazing buildings and atmosphere, have to try this, went at the height of Summer, but probably even better when colder. Highlight of our trip!

I booked online, at first of course I was a bit skeptical. Instead everything went very well. I was in Budapest during the June 2 bridge. The booking confirmation came directly to the email. From the app I downloaded the tickets. Punctual departure, 10 p.m. sailing. recommend bringing a sweatshirt or jacket. The view was very very nice

The scenery was delightful, and purchasing tickets was straightforward. However, the boat driver's pacing was somewhat uneven, speeding past some sights while lingering at others, before attempting to make up for lost time.

Great! Got there earlier than our actual timing, so we changed and just hopped on to an ealier cruise and they let us. Worth your money and time! Definitely should take this on the first day of your tour/visit in Budapest. Entry to the boat was easy and smooth. I think both day and night cruise are great!

Satisfied with the experience, we had a great time. Located in the city park. Great variety of pools, clean.

Very good, easy booking, arrival instructions too. I recommend doing it at night, because the illuminated city is just sublime. Audio guide essential! Take your headphones! The guide's link is in the confirmation e-mail, so don't be fooled. I recommend this tour.

The kindness of the cabin crew, the punctuality of departure

Superb cruise at 9:30 p.m. ''magnificent views of the city and its reflections on the Danube ''Not to be missed''''

The location and organization The massage and the friendliness of the people

it was the best place ♥️♥️ thank you

Very nice Very attentive cleanliness and order

Beautiful experience. Budapest great city

It is a nice tour that is short. We can see the illuminated buildings which are fabulous!!!

Authentic thermal baths with several pools at different temperatures to suit everyone

The reservation was easy and I was well attended. The hot springs are not as good as I expected, and they do not inform you well about what is there.

We were there on 19th of July. İt was not crowded even though it was the weekend. The only crowded area was the rooftop pool. We loved it! Would definitely visit again!

These are real "baths". Too bad the sauna area was closed for renovation. The staff are very helpful, and the massage was very good. The comfort (enclosed private cabin) is excellent.

Clean, well-maintained thermal baths, with an old-fashioned section featuring an extremely hot sauna - I loved it. I particularly liked the panoramic area overlooking the Danube.

Was absolutely perfect and a beautiful location from the amazing paroramic views to the gorgeous Turkish baths! The relaxation was needed

Fantastic morning at this spa, the old part beautiful. Attention to cleanliness not to be underestimated. Very nice pool in the panoramic terrace. I recommend going around 9 o'clock

My wife and I really enjoyed the beautiful view from this spa facility, which is also well maintained and above all very cozy and clean. At the end we also enjoyed how smooth and velvety our skin had become. Fantastic.

Everything was top notch, not too crowded, I recommend booking when the Turkish bath is mixed as it's the best part of the baths.

I have indicated good because if I put acceptable it seems that you have qualified it as a bad experience and it is not, acceptable is not bad.

Was here yesterday. Was easy to get to. Know now sees for sure the ticket is cheaper at the box office or online. Don't forget your swim cap if you want to swim. Don't go too late. Otherwise the rooftop is full

Relaxing quite very nice pools especially the panorama excellent view

Very nice, well organized and clean

Ticketig simplevery relaxing quiet surroundings, staff very helpful.

Beautiful location, baths were incredible and staff helpful.

The tour, although it is only for the 4th floor, is very nice and gives us some history of the town and its main building. We had a hard time finding the guide but finally managed. You don't have to enter the lobby where you get tickets to enter the museum and palace but outside the palace itself, in the square just outside the revolving door on the city side, not the Danube side. Courteous Manuel and colleague to call us by phone. Eventually visit done!

Amazing buildings and atmosphere, have to try this, went at the height of Summer, but probably even better when colder. Highlight of our trip!

Good organization, we quickly went through the paperwork to enter. With the audio guide in Italian we were able to follow the visit carefully. A good experience to recommend.

Pre-visit communication (emails, app, etc.) is very clear. No problems encountered during the various tours The audioguide is practical, especially on the Danube, we learned a lot and the evening lights are magnificent!

Hungarian Parliament is a must see of the city od Budapest. The audio tour is well organizaed and lasts enough time to see the most important places inside the building. The experience with Headput was very positive and it was very east to get the tickets following the clear instructions and reminders provided. It is definately recommended.

Very informative with audio guides explaining aspects of each room we entered. So much history, was great to learn about the domestic and the different leaders.

The relics and interesting information, for instance, about the cigar holders.

Profesional guide, atmosfere. Would recommned.

A very pleasant day at the Szchenyi baths, but it's a pity that the central pool is still under construction.

Very nice Very attentive cleanliness and order

The inside of the parliament, what to see....

The dj session was awesome. My friend and I loved the fire performance.

Great way to start the holiday and do after pride

They sold us an 80 or 90 minute tour - the tour was only 60 minutes. You sold us 30% more service than we received. I look forward to your reply

It was a great experience and I haven't regretted it.

It was amazing but obviously I was expecting more shows or music inside, though it met my expectations it don't exceeded them! Overall I would still go there one more time!

Very fun and very well organized. A little chaos on arrival (better to get there early) but then everything was fantastic.

It is very expensive inside if we need to drink something and the music was only techno and not mainstream I prefer mainstream music.

Cool music great location. The laser and light show was impressive

Génial super soirée cadre incroyable

🇬🇧 Stepping into Széchenyi Thermal Bath feels like entering a royal dream — where history whispers through steam, and every drop of water carries centuries of healing. From the stunning neo-baroque architecture to the soul-soothing waters, it’s not just a bath… it’s an experience, a memory, a piece of Budapest’s heart. A place where time slows, bodies relax, and love lingers in the mist. 🇭🇺 Széchenyi fürdő nem csak víz — ez Budapest lelke, gőzbe rejtett történelem és nyugalom.

the wine tasting was a waste of money. No one share the wine history in Hungary 🇭🇺 . I was just served by drinks. That's all. I would be happier by just going to any pub. Btw, the staff there were very nice.

It was a lovely relaxing place even though it seemed so so busy! Lots of choice of pools and the warm baths were heaven! Lots of sunbeds to chill out and reasonable priced drinks and food. Very well attended by staff and very clean in all areas. Had a wonderful day here. Queue waiting for the prepaid tickets was extremely long but moved at a decent pace. We only had about 4ims waiting and that was at 230pm. Definitely prepay though and plan to get there early if you don't want queue. Otherwise have patience and you'll still get in with plenty of choice of beds and pools

It was very nice and clean and not crowded

The spa was great, the tasting was bad because we could not do it because there was a private event.

Nobody inside the spa knew how and where to redeem the tasting and the information was not available on the ticket - they just kept sending us from one person to the other, but none of them had a clue. We ended up paying but not being able to use the service - I would like a refund. Also, it should have been mentioned that the biggest middle pool is closed for renovations until the end of June - we would have booked another spa instead of here between scaffolding and teo crowded small pools. Hygiene is also questionable, people were blowing their noses into the water, there were beer cups and cans everywhere, the water smelled very strongly like chlorine. The only positive was the beauty of the building and the water temperature.

Had a great day at the Spa. The large outdoor pool is being repaired but that didn't spoil things for us. Fruitbowl and drinks in the solarium upstairs (included in the price) was lovely and relaxing. Access via the VIP entrance ( which we eventually found at the side of the building) was easy. Most staff friendly and helpful with one exception. All in all well worth the money.

The saunas and steam rooms were amazing

The peace, space and tranquility in the day spa area was well worth the extra money- the pools and outside spaces were over crowded and rather manic. Too many people, not enough sun loungers and generally a rabbit warren.!

It was a great experience with clean grounds. The Dayspalm was great with a quiet place to relax and enjoy a beverage and fruit bowl, highly recommend adding. We all got a 45 min massage. One couple was cut short due to the therapist not being ready on time, that was a bummer. Also bummed to see one of the main outdoor pools closed.

Headout ticketing process was very easy. Mobile tickets easy to retrieve. My time at the Spa was relaxing and rejuvenating. Included drinks and fruit bowl were very refreshing. Highly recommend!

The place is huge and impressive. The staff are helpful and friendly.

Loved the experience. Day was warm and the sun was shining. The facility is very clean and the staff welcoming

Sevwerely dissapointed that the main outdoor swimming pool was closed and the outside beauty completely spoiled by contrstction plastic sheeting. Fees should be 50% is you are not providing what is advertised and wer go for the beauty of the buildings not plastic - No VIP showers and we are paying for VIP... all in all dissapointing to pay VIP to get nothing except a lounge zone..... with a service that would not even swop tea for a cup of coffee... fruit in plastic dish. Not what I had really expected.... tbh!

Quick, pleasant welcome, retro cabins, pleasant baths with different temperatures. The only hitch was that the main bath was closed for major renovations and would be closed for many months, so it was a bit disappointing not to have known about it beforehand. If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't take the fruit and cocktail option, as the whole thing wasn't very good.

We like the space, it's really attractive! The indoor pools have a different smell, which is a bit hard to bear! The water is warm, but each pool has its own particular temperature! We loved the Dayspalm, I recommend it!
