Thermal Baths and Spa in Budapest

"The wellness baths are a unique, relaxing and fun experience, blending the old and new of thermal bathing. A slightly disorganised check in & ticket collection. Pay the little extra for access to the different zones. Allow more than 3hours if planning activities either side. Remember you flip flops, towel and swim hat/cap only needed if you want to lane swim in standard swimming pool (or pay 2000HUF on day) Brave the Ice challenges and enjoy!"

We were going to go to the Széchenyi Spa, but after reading the reviews, we opted for Margaret Island Day Spa, which is beautiful! People were jogging, biking, skating, talking, lounging, etc. The spa itself was very welcoming, and the three women at the front desk greeted as with smiles, and very clear directions on how to prepare for the pools/sauna. Once in the hottest thermal pool, there were about 15 young men who joined us, looking like they were on the local university swim team. The women couldn’t stop looking! These were some tall, white, square-jawed, Bjorn Ironside-looking dudes! My colleague and I watched the faces of their husbands/partners…and all we could do was laugh! Anyway, the locker rooms were equipped with technologically-advanced lockers; it was very clean with a fresh aroma. The showers were powerful and felt really good beating down on my body. Should I ever come back to Budapest, this is the ONLY spa I will visit. Thank you Margaret Island Day Spa!

The cruise was very enjoyable and seeing the beautiful buildings on the Danube all lit up was breathtaking. Service was very good. The ship itself was pretty nice. Food was pretty mediocre. Overall enjoyable.

The boat trip was very cheap and for 70 mins I found this good value. There was loud music playing and a bar selling alcohol, cocktails, soft drinks, as well as pizza. I would recommend this trip, but NOT to families. The boat was full of groups of men and stag do’s who were loud and lively. I feel it would not be appropriate for a family trip. But it was a great ride and a way to see the sights

Clean pools and changing areas. Lots to keep different age groups entertained. Good value.

excellent venue, would recommend getting there early as loungerw fill up quickly once it gets busy. only tried the small cafes on the side of the lockers and couldn't complain about food. they do follow strick rules in the pool no food or drink in the pool and if you want to swim lanes the. make sure your planting a swimming cap.

It is worth doing the walk x the Danube at night, you have a super nice view.

Lovely traditional spa. Not crowded at all on a Wednesday. Get a private cabin which just a little extra.

The massage was very relaxing, an amazing first experience

Awesome experience and atmosphere! However, the building was undergoing renovation and part of it was closed off, which was not mentioned anywhere.

Absolutely brilliant, the outside pools were so much fun, all the thermal pools amazing, the best sauna’s I have ever been in, just need to people aware, no cash accepted, card only, fortunately I could use my phone to make payment as I had left my credit card in the room safe, but loved it.

We had a great time. The Show was fantastic. The singer has a beautiful voice and George is a fantastic player as his piano partner. The food could be slightly improved on the taste. Wine selection included in the package was good and the service was very good. Our waiters were very kind. I would do it again!

Easy and convenient! No hassle and friendly staff

Everything has gone very well from the reservation to the activity, recommended

We were looking forward to this excursion, and it ended up exceeding our expectations! It’s a bit tricky to find the correct entrance, but the intro email was so helpful with pictures and detailed instructions. The reservation team was very accommodating when we had to reschedule, and we were surprised to have a beautiful private room. The rest of the bath house was really fun to explore, as well. Highly recommend a visit to the beer spa!

We walked from the city centre which took around 30 minutes, we then showed our ticket and we then had access to the spa the full day. I would recommend getting a room to get changed as this isn’t much of an extra cost. Drinks and food inside are not overly expensive however it can be difficult to find a bed so I would recommend going early.

This was absolutely perfect! From fantastic massages, to a relaxing bubble bath, to delicious snack and drinks. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! Highly recommend!!!

It was one of the coolest events in Budapest. The pier is easy to find, and everything happens quickly and with a very short waiting time. The staff is very friendly and professional. It's a pity to miss the opportunity to get this experience.

Everything was perfect. Clean, tidy, staff were on it all the time to keep the place up to spec. Food drinks. Highly recommend……do not miss this in your Budapest trip.

The spas are relaxing after a morning of sightseeing . We did have an issue with our voucher . The number was already used and my name showed as being used that day already. The clerk believed me and worked to resolve ( it did take a good 30 mins of our planned spa time though

Thermal Margaret Island (St. Margaret’s Spa) is an amazing spot – beautifully designed, super stylish, and incredibly clean. Towels are provided for free, and unlike the more famous Budapest baths, it’s not overcrowded, which makes the experience much more relaxing and enjoyable. There are several types of saunas, cold plunge pools, and lovely hot thermal baths. Everything is thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere is truly special – surrounded by palm trees and lush greenery, creating a scenic and tranquil setting. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views directly onto the gardens of Margaret Island, adding even more beauty to this peaceful oasis in the city.

Incredible experience, lots of great people from all over the world!

Great day out for my daughter on a hot day. She loved the wave pool but couldn’t get onto the water slides other than that great day

At first we thought we wouldn't all fit on the boat because it was so full. We couldn't sit upstairs, but we could sit downstairs at the table, where the chairs were much better anyway. Also, we could rotate the chairs and you could open the windows downstairs so you could see everything great. It was an absolutely beautiful ride and the time (9pm) was perfect.
