Great value. Enjoyed good few hours at the baths. Evening cruise was a lovely experience. Staff very friendly, boat lovely. Nice buffet
Thermal baths and massage + cruise with dinner
Paula_A, Mar 2024
Both the baths and the cruise were an amazing experience. We started the day with our spa experience with massage included and all the pools and saunas. We had a little snack with a drink just before heading outside to have lunch in the park right next to the thermal baths. Later in the day, we went to the cruise and we were not ready for the luxury we saw. We felt really spoiled, the staff was amazing and helpful and the food exceeded our expectations. We would recommend 100%
Nice

Thermal bath is a little dirty inside the buildings
Cruise dinner was perfect, good food, beautiful live music, and nice views.
Liked the cruise better than the spa.
barbterrell, Jan 2024
This deal includes the spa and a dinner cruise, including pickup at the spa. Not o e person that I contacted could tell me what time the pickup was at the spa for the cruise. When we got to the spa, the ticket taker had no idea what we were talking about, and the bar code I had didn't work. They took pity on us and waived us in. I never got the included shampoo and lotion. Agree with another reviewer the charging rooms are tiny so we got 2. At the spa, the signage was poor and trying to find a hot pool inside proved impossible. We spent an hour in the big outdoor pool because it was warm. The saunas were ok. Rick Steve's says the spa is the best part of Budapest. We tink it is the opera house.
We made it to the dinner cruise on our own and it was very nice. The entertainment was good. Prices for extra drinks were reasonable. Shop was very smooth, yet the dishes and the soup turine rattled loudly the entire cruise.
Slightly Disappointing
Dawn_B, Dec 2023
We did a combo thermal baths and cruise with dinner experience. Both were ok but nothing special which was a bit disappointing.
We went to the thermal baths for just before 10 which was perfect not too busy but I found the staff unhelpful (unlike every other place we’ve been) and it’s overrated to be honest, gets very busy, dirty (indoor pools) with little to do there. There were too many people and lots of idiots taking mobile phone pics.
The cruise was ok, trad entertainment but the food was a real let down, by the time we got to the buffet all the starter bites had gone, mains disappointing and dessert even more so, very cheap all inclusive style. All ok but nothing special and not worth the money
Great must do things when in Budapest
Spencer_L, Nov 2023
Great must do things to do in Budapest. Spa was brilliant experience with the cruise being nice and relaxing
Half good half bad
peter_h, Sep 2023
The spa was very old and run down and they sold towels and shoes for a very high price. About 15 for towels and 10 for shoes. The night cruise made this package worthwhile. Beautiful sights and great entertainment. The food was great too.
Thermal baths
Glenn_F, Jul 2023
Was lovely to go and see this, but nothing special. Easy to get to on the metro. It’s looking run down, more investment in the paint work is required. Also take your own towels, if you don’t you have to buy (not rent) ta towel about £6 each.
Get there early or you miss out on sun lounges.
If you want to do laps in the pool, you must wear a swimming cap, no cap no laps.. If you pay extra for private changing room, only room for two, not a family of 5.
Was glad to do this, but didn’t blow us away.
Absolutely amazing
Tracey_W, Jun 2023
Fab Spar, shame we were unable to have the treatments due to sickness , but the boat trip in the evening made up for it
Excellent
kayleigh_w, Mar 2023
Wow! What an experience!! These are both must do activities in Budapest and getting this combo deal is such a bargain!
The baths were unbelievable and the boat trip just perfect! Food was delicious and the waiters were so friendly. Musicians great and the folklore dancers brilliant!
Only thing to remember is flip flops are essential at the baths and everyone has white towels so easy to get picked up by accident (this happened to us so we had to buy more as ours were taken). There is a shop to buy both but it is quite expensive (£19 for two pairs of flip flops and £30 for two towels) but overall would 100% recommend both experiences.

We are very sorry for the towel incident, but so glad that it did not discourage you either! Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! We are waiting for you back at another time !
Great experience would recommend
Shem_M, Mar 2023
The spa was fantastic. Quick and easy entry. Not to crowded, they have an area where you can grab some drinks (cocktails, beer or fizzy drinks).
Dinner cruise was good, great entertainment, food was lovely and staff was always around. The boat does get very hot had to go outside a few times
Wonderful package for a couple.
Lydia_M, Feb 2023
We had a great day at the spa and dinner cruise. We only spent about two houses at the spa which was plenty for us, but we walked around the beautiful park where the spa is located afterward. The dinner cruise was also amazing. The food was delicious and our tickets were accepted without any incident. The only thing I would say is that if you are driving and planning to park near the port, be sure to bring change. We drove around for an hour looking for change for our cash as we didn’t have phone service in Hungry and couldn’t pay on the app.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review!
We are also grateful for the tip about parking, I'm sure it will be very useful for fellow travellers in the future! Thank you for coming and spending your day with us.
Fab day out
Angela_S, Nov 2022
Brilliant day out at the Szechenyi spa and to finish off a lovely evening on the river cruise followed by a candle lit meal with traditional music and dancers ,very friendly attentive staff, that went out their way to please, the tour operated was very good at communicating and always got back to me with my questions.
Perfect for a special occasion for something to remember, definitely the best day we’v had in Budapest 😊
Relaxing in the beauty of Budapest
rsbeck55, Jul 2022
The spa experience was very nice! It was not as crowded as we expected. We were impressed with the privacy and security of the cabin changing rooms. The dinner was very good. The lights were beautiful, but we were disappointed that the boat did not pass the Parliament building while it was lit up as that is the most beautiful of the buildings. The music was wonderful!
Absolutely perfect !
Milena_B, Jul 2022
Had a relaxing afternoon at the baths, then wonderful evening on the boat with hungarian buffet and music in the background. the cruise sights were beautiful !
Beautiful bath house
Zoltan_K, Jul 2022
Beautiful building. Nice pools. Nice people. Lot’s of different kinds of pools, steam rooms and saunas in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended if you go to Budapest.
Don’t miss this !!
Phillip_H, Jun 2022
Relaxing !! It was such an enjoyable experience!!
The perfect day !!
I would come back !!
Don’t miss this !!
Must do trip
Catherine_W, Apr 2022
The spa baths are a must do if you’re visiting Budapest-lots of hot pools and saunas inside and out and a cafe too-take a bank card as doesn’t take cash. Make sure you get there before lunch though and get a changing cabin as gets very busy.
The evening dinner cruise was great value for money-good food, 2 drinks and water included and music from a string trio who come round the tables. A bit of a queue for the buffet and it’s Hungarian food so not for the fussy eater. The tourist sights by the river look beautiful lit up at night-well worth it, and near the tram line and taxis too so great location by the chain bridge
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thank you so much for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your time with us!
Great package
Suzanna_F, Feb 2020
Thoroughly enjoyable experience. The Spa was a delight in the beautiful old building and with a variety of pools, saunas and steam rooms. Getting there early meant we had a couple of quieter hours before the crowds arrived. Book early to avoid disappointment if you want a massage as we missed out on that.. The cruise was a super way to see the river and city. The food was good but plates were cleared almost before you'd finished eating. The music was a lovely complement to the evening. I would recommend the experience
Traumatic and disappointing
Sophie_S, Feb 2020
This was far from the relaxing experience we had been looking forward to.
After trying 3 different entrances, we found how to get into the spa. We were promptly hustled upstairs to our cabin, which in fairness was a good storage area as it can be locked by our wristbands. By this point, no one had told us about the option to rent towels and Robes, so by the time we were led to the massage area (outside route) we were shivering. We were then told to sit on a bench and wait for the attendant to come back, after ten minutes we asked in the massage pods (creepy ‘surgical’ looking rooms) because we’d seen the girl leading us walk off outside, and we’re told we should have clocked in already with our wristbands. Finally got in the pods, and it was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I’ve had - the masseuse was clearly untrained, the whole time I could only describe as being ‘jiggled’ to the point of actually having to hold onto the bed.
When the ordeal was finally over we were considering leaving by this point, we spotted the towel rental area down in a dingy basement area... the towels were ridiculously overpriced, but as we’d not been told towels would be unavailable we had to spend £40 to rent the two of them. once we had towels we were fine in the pool areas, it was loud and crowded but it’s what we’d been expecting, we got some food which was foul, taking our total spend to over £85 for some stale cold and dry ‘meals’ and then it came to leaving.... there was a 45 min queue in the basement to return the damn things and all of the staff we encountered were very rude.
The boat experience was nice which is the only reason our rating had any stars, it was strange that the meeting point was away from the dock, but nothing could have been as traumatic as the rest of the day. Once we were on the boat, the service, food and drink was nice.
