Relaxing experience
Such a lovely place. All the pools were very clean, the pools outside were awesome and although it was busy there was still loads of room. Food was very nice from the restaurant. Very relaxing experience.

Enjoy this Thermal Bath
Seems pricey but so glad we did it! Our recommendation would be arrive before 9:00a; it’s less crowded! We really enjoyed the Adventure Pool which featured a giant and powerful whirlpool! Lots of fun!!!

Good experience
Good experience, well-maintained baths with indoor and outdoor pools in a very beautiful building. It is worth going early to be able to get a well-located lounge chair and less crowded pools. With the simple ticket with a locker, it is more than enough. What I did not like is that it was only labeled in Hungarian.

Save your money
It doesn't get any worse. From 10 a.m. on, there are no more loungers, benches, or chairs available. Interior looks like a 1960s youth hostel. Completely ruined.
