Una experiencia muy bonita y totalmente recomendable. El balneario es precioso, las instalaciones son espectaculares y el ambiente es perfecto para relajarse y disfrutar. Fue una de las experiencias que más nos gustó de nuestro viaje a Budapest. Disfrutamos muchísimo. Todo estaba muy bien organizado y pasamos un rato estupendo. Sin duda, repetiríamos.

Los baños Széchenyi son preciosos y merece la pena visitarlos por sus piscinas, saunas y espectacular edificio. Sin embargo, necesitan más mantenimiento y renovar los vestuarios, demasiado anticuados y con aglomeraciones. No alquilan ni proporcionan toallas: hay que comprarlas por 35-45 €, un gasto inesperado con una entrada ya cara. Además, la atención en la tienda fue poco amable. Una experiencia agradable, pero mejorable y con información insuficiente sobre los costes adicionales.

The Széchenyi Baths are beautiful and well worth a visit for their pools, saunas, and spectacular building. However, they need more maintenance, and the changing rooms, which are outdated and overcrowded, need renovation. They don't rent or provide towels; you have to buy them for €35-45, an unexpected expense on top of the already expensive entrance fee. Furthermore, the service at the gift shop was unfriendly. Overall, a pleasant experience, but one that could be improved, and there was insufficient information about additional costs.

Magnífico balneario. Para disfrutar durante horas. Muy bien el alquiler de cabinas. Pero personal antipático y absoluta falta de profesionalidad en el de hostelería: Descuidadas (las del buffet comen mientras te sirven a ti, meten los dedos en los vasos...), antipáticas (la muy tuneada camarera del bar de la terraza no deja el móvil aunque te sientes allí y, cuando decide atenderte, dice que no tiene comida pese a que hay un cartel que ofrece varios platos...). Y un asco la comida del buffet.

Magnificent spa. Perfect for hours of enjoyment. The cabin rentals are great. However, the staff are unfriendly and completely unprofessional in the hospitality sector: careless (the buffet staff eat while serving you, stick their fingers in the glasses...), and unfriendly (the very flashy waitress at the terrace bar won't put her phone down even when you sit down, and when she finally decides to serve you, she says she's out of food despite a sign offering several dishes...). And the buffet food is awful.

Nada especial. Abarrotado, a pesar de ser lunes por la mañana, ni una sola tumbona libre. Masificación total. Disfrutamos de la experiencia durante una hora en la terma exterior. Las interiores no invitan para nada a meterte en las termas y la sauna masificada no, lo siguiente. La edificación y su historia muy chula, es lo único que merece la pena.

Nothing special. Packed, even though it was a Monday morning, not a single sun lounger free. Total overcrowding. We enjoyed the experience for an hour in the outdoor thermal baths. The indoor baths are not at all inviting, and the sauna was beyond overcrowded. The building and its history are very cool; that's the only thing worth seeing.

Spéciale... Au vu de nombreuses expériences (toutes différents) vécues en centres thermales. Hormis un Bain extérieur fermé pour entretien... C'est le manque d'hôtesses ou d'informations aidant à s'orienter dans les trop nombreux couloirs, vestiaires, bains, saunas, hammams, etc... Qui aurait été sympa. Heureusement avec beaucoup d'humour nous avons profiter d'une ambiance "rock & roll" ou Thermo Populaire. Rien de relaxant au vu d'un 'people' agité. Bref, bien amusé. Translate this opinion into English.

Special... Considering my many (and varied) experiences at thermal spas, aside from the outdoor bath being closed for maintenance... the lack of staff or information to help navigate the numerous corridors, changing rooms, baths, saunas, steam rooms, etc., would have been much appreciated. Fortunately, with a good sense of humor, we enjoyed a "rock & roll" or "Popular Thermo" atmosphere. Nothing relaxing, given the boisterous crowd. In short, we had a good time. Opinion translated.

Las piscinas exteriores están muy bien, se nota que están limpias. Sin embargo, las piscinas interiores no las recomendaría. Salvo 2 o 3 que se salvan, el resto daba asco meterse. Había flotando mocos y pelos, olían mal y tanto el agua como la estructura de la piscina estaban sucias. El resto de las instalaciones (vestuarios, duchas, baños) ningún problema. Es una actividad bastante divertida para pasar el día, eso sí, hay que ir antes de las 10 porque a partir de esa hora se llena. Translate this opinion into English.

The outdoor pools are very nice; you can tell they're clean. However, I wouldn't recommend the indoor pools. Except for two or three that were decent, the rest were disgusting to get in. There was snot and hair floating in them, they smelled bad, and both the water and the pool structure were dirty. The rest of the facilities (changing rooms, showers, restrooms) were fine. It's a pretty fun activity to spend the day, but you have to go before 10:00 because it gets very crowded after that time. Opinion translated. Show original.

El edificio donde está situado el balneario es muy bonito y realmente merece la pena verlo. Eso si la piscina de agua caliente está tan llena de gente que es difícil disfrutar de ella. A mí personalmente me gustó mucho más la piscina grande para nadar, pero era una piscina normal y corriente vaya. Si tienes pocos días en Budapest, no la veo una visita tan necesaria

The building where the spa is located is very beautiful and definitely worth seeing. However, the hot tub is so crowded that it's difficult to enjoy it. I personally much preferred the large swimming pool, but it was just an ordinary pool, really. If you only have a few days in Budapest, I don't think it's a must-see.

El balneario es una pasada , muchas estancias con piscinas interiores , y las piscinas exteriores son grandes , una de ellas la central para nadar , una lateral de aguas termales muy calentita , y otra lateral con una rueda de aguas rápidas muy divertida. Le hace falta unas reformas tanto interiores como exteriores, pero aún así es bonito . Lo recomiendo Translate this opinion into English.

The spa is amazing, with many rooms featuring indoor pools, and the outdoor pools are large. There's a central swimming pool, a side pool with very warm thermal water, and another side pool with a fun rapid water feature. It needs some renovations both inside and out, but it's still beautiful. I recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Las actividades e instalaciones están bien pero las zonas de relax y piscina cubiertas deja mucho que desear ya que aunque el agua esté transparente se veía todo de color verde sucio. Para lo que cobran podría estar en mejores condiciones. No eche foto por vergüenza.

The activities and facilities are fine, but the relaxation areas and indoor pool leave much to be desired. Although the water was clear, everything looked a dirty green. For the price they charge, it could be in much better condition. I didn't take a picture out of embarrassment.

Dal punto di vista della prenotazione tutto perfetto, entrata senza intoppi. Personalmente sono rimasta delusa dalle terme, forse abbiamo scelto una giornata calda, nn c'erano sdraio o sedie a sufficienza e poca ombra solo a ridosso del edificio, ombrelloni solo al bar.

From a booking perspective, everything was perfect, and entry went smoothly. Personally, I was disappointed with the spa. Perhaps we chose a hot day. There weren't enough loungers or chairs, and little shade except near the building, with umbrellas only at the bar.

La visita al balneario fue genial. Estaba un poco agobiada con el tema de las gafas,las necesito para todo y no sabía cómo gestionar el tema. Sin embargo,el balneario dispone de unas fantásticas taquillas para dejar cualquier cosa. De esta forma,pude llevarlas hasta meterme al agua. Muy recomendable la visita. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit to the spa was fantastic. I was a bit stressed about my goggles; I need them for everything and didn't know how to manage. However, the spa has excellent lockers for storing anything. This way, I was able to wear them even when I went into the water. I highly recommend the visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

El balneario es súper chulo, muy agradable para echar todo el día ahí, vaya que merece la pena. Las piscinas son bien chulas y el ambiente es muy agradable. Todo muy relajante. Al reservar por esta página parece que no llegan las entradas y nosotras entramos un poco en pánico, pero allí los de la entrada te buscan el nombre que hay que poner en el correo para que salga el QR y súper bien. No hace falta gorro de piscina si no vas a nadar. Translate this opinion into English.

The spa is super cool, really nice to spend the whole day there, definitely worth it. The pools are great and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Everything is very relaxing. When booking through this website, it seems like the tickets aren't arriving and we panicked a bit, but the staff at the entrance find the name you need to put in the email so the QR code appears, and it's great. You don't need a swimming cap if you're not going swimming. Opinion translated. Show original.

No tuvimos ningún problema, entramos perfectamente con el código QR que se nos mandó al email. La experiencia merece la pena, a pesar de que las piscinas interiores están peor conservadas. Las exteriores están muy bien, en mejores condiciones y limpias. Es cierto que había gente y hacía calor, era julio. de hecho dudé en hacer o no la reserva, pero me alegro de haber tenido la experiencia y además la recomiendo, es de esas cosas que hay que hacer. Fuimos en familia y fue divertido. Translate this opinion into English.

We had no problems at all; we got in perfectly using the QR code that was sent to our email. The experience is worthwhile, even though the indoor pools are in worse condition. The outdoor pools are very nice, in better condition, and clean. It's true that it was crowded and hot—it was July. In fact, I hesitated about making the reservation, but I'm glad we had the experience and I highly recommend it; it's one of those things you have to do. We went as a family, and it was fun.

Es un sitio muy turístico con lo cual la palabra balneario está un poco sobrevalorada, el sitio es más como una piscina municipal con fuentes y chorros de agua para pasar un día en familia, nada de balneario para descansar. Supongo que si se pagan los extras en los spas privados, la cosa cambia. Pero para lo que pagamos, me parece excesivo, solo estuvimos dos horas porque no había sitio para sentarse ni huecos en las piscinas. Demasiado lleno.

It's a very touristy place, so the word "spa" is a bit of an exaggeration. The place is more like a municipal swimming pool with fountains and water jets, perfect for a family day out—not a spa for relaxation. I suppose things change if you pay extra for the private spas. But for what we paid, it seemed excessive. We were only there for two hours because there was nowhere to sit or even space in the pools. It was way too crowded.

Un sitio precioso pero al que hay que ir a primera hora de la mañana por qué si no, hay piscinas a las que no se puede entrar. La gente no respeta el silencio y parece que vaya de despedida de soltero. Nosotros entramos a las 9 y hasta las 11 estuvimos tranquilos. El sitio muy limpio. Translate this opinion into English.

El lugar en sí, me decepcionó un poco, hemos visto mucha dejadez en la piscina, como por poner algo, trozos de "algo" dentro del agua, moho negro en las escaleras, eso lo más resaltable. El sitio en sí, tiene encanto, pero cuándo has estado en balnearios como el de Archena en Murcia, pues.....el listón lo tienes muy alto y pocas cosas te pueden sorprender.

The place itself was a bit of a disappointment. We saw a lot of neglect in the pool area, like they just threw something in there, bits of "something" in the water, and black mold on the steps—that was the most noticeable thing. The location has its charm, but when you've been to spas like the one in Archena, Murcia, well... your expectations are set very high, and few things can surprise you.

Fuimos por la tarde y muy bien No están masificados Es cierto que el agua huele un poco mal, en las piscinas de dentro, y parece que está un poco sucia pero supongo que es normal. La mejor piscina la medicinal del exterior Las saunas no las use porque no me gustan. Lo malo es que no hay nadie para que la gente cumpla las normas: pelos sueltos en mujeres y hombres, se meten con chanclas, dan voces… pero eso es el turismo… Translate this opinion into English.

We went in the afternoon and it was very good. They are not overcrowded. It is true that the water smells a bit bad in the indoor pools, and it seems a bit dirty, but I suppose that's normal. The best pool is the outdoor medicinal one. I didn't use the saunas because I don't like them. The downside is that there is no one to enforce the rules: loose hair on women and men, people come in with flip-flops, they shout... but that's tourism... Opinion translated. Show original.

La compra de entradas y el acceso con la entrada online bien y cómodo. Lástima que con estas entradas no permite pagar suplemento para alquilar una cabina.
