"Part of the under-renovation Art Nouveau Hotel Gellért, this bath features a monumental swimming pool with a glass roof and thermal pools surrounded by regal lion heads and Zsolnay porcelain tiles."

"Throughout Budapest are a whopping 123 therapeutic hot springs, but these, in the stately, slightly dusty Hotel Gellért (built in 1918) might be the most famous. The communal bath in the center of the hotel spa is for everyone, but the most interesting traditional spa experience is in the back thermal pools, which have been coed since 2013. Here, join Hungarian locals in pools of varied temperatures, steam baths, and saunas, and jumping into ice-cold baths in between. Everyone takes their time to not only bask in the baths but also gaze at the Art Nouveau tiling on the walls and vaulted ceilings."

A huge and beautiful thermal bathhouse Tony went to with Vilmos Zsigmond, a cinematographer who worked on movies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind. (He died in 2016.)

"Several baths vie for the top spot: Gellért, with its orientalist décor and outdoor wave machine; Széchenyi, for its belle époque grandeur; and Rudas, which feels like the Turks never left."

Great selection of thermal baths and saunas. Not too crowded except for outdoor one which was to be expected on a sunny day. Nice coffee and cake area in the main foyer. Good facilities for showering, changing and drying hair even without a cabin. Decor is beautiful inside. Well worth a visit.

What a stunning place! Glad I made the trek - I ended spending about 3 hours here. Went at 1pm on a Tuesday and it wasn’t crazy busy. The indoor pools were a little dirty (hence the 4 stars) but they were actively cleaning the indoor thermal pools one by one while I was there. My favourite bit was 100% the outdoor thermal pool!

Highly recommend this place. Different types of baths and saunas. They don't rent a towel, if you don't bring your own you have to buy it or dry Yourself in of their sauna. I would highly suggest the Management to implement at least the rent of the towel. Very basic item for a place like this. You need to bring your swimming hat or buy one in order to use the main pool. We didn't buy tickets in advance and we were been able to get in quickly. No queue on Sunday around 12:00pm.

The good: from outside the building is remarkable. And as you walk in (see my video of the lobby) you feel as if you’re walking into a grand hotel. Also, it is generally very clean. The bad: for €33 I took the basic entrance with access to the lockers. They are crammed, not separated by male/female and there are few cabins to change. I had to wait 10 minutes before getting one. The alternative is to take a “cabin” which is spacious but not much better. No towels are provided. At this price point expected to receive at least one towel, but no. I was given the chance to buy one. Though some of the decoration is as grandiose as that of the entrance, most of the inside is quite dull. Verdict: If you’ve been to nice spas and thermes you’ll be disappointed. At this price point I recommend to avoid this place.

Good baths. Good number of thermal pools. You need a swim cap for the middle swimming pool. Outdoor thermal pools is pretty cool. Great architecture. The game Hitman also modelled a whole level on this.

My 3 star rating is based on grubby, outdated changing areas, the pricey charges for rental items and most importantly… the cameras above the changing areas. I was shocked and uncomfortable, when I saw the cameras. This historic facility is beautiful and worth a visit. Be sure to pack a swimsuit, towel (we borrowed from our hotel), disposable slippers (we packed hotel slippers) and a swim cap (if you want to swim in the “swim” pools). Also, change closer to walls or know, you’re giving a show.

Great thermal baths. They have multiple different types of baths available, and all of them were nice. We went during the week in the morning so there was no line at the time of our arrival. It got a little more crowded during lunch hours but still not too crowded. The outside area has two pools but the big one was closed. Still the one open was one of the best pools we tried. Again I recommend to go early so you can have it for yourself. It got crowded after a while. The indoor polls were also good, they vary in thempertures and design. I would recommend to stop at this thermal bath if you have time we had a blast. It was a very relaxing experience.

I showed up at 9am on a Wednesday and had some of the pools to myself until around 10. It was really nice until the crowds showed up. The architecture is stunning, the pools unlike anything I’ve seen before and you really get a quintessential Budapest experience. The staff by the pool are super nice but the reception ladies seem like they hate their life. The saunas were not great, some not hot at all and people don’t respect the sauna rules because they are not enforced. There’s also no rental service so everything needs to be purchased if you don’t have a towel or flip flops. I spent about two hours there and felt really relaxed. I recommend going for the Budapest experience, it was worth the money and time but if you go to Szechnyi as well, then this one may be a bit underwhelming for you.
