The baths are beautiful but very very small. The place has a really weird structure - a lot of people didn't know that their is a big swimming pool on the other side of the main entrance. Nobody tells you that. Because so many people didn't know the location of the other swimming pool - the baths itself were full... More

We went in on a Saturday night. The building is under renovation from outside but this did not show at all on the inside. Everything is in Hungarian and it was quite hard to figure out how to get changed etc. However when got the hang of it I think the cabin system is quite good. We managed to miss... More

well to be honest the place wasn't what I had in mind, I couldn't understand what was included in the price I paid. The hot water was relaxing and the place it self is ok..

Dark, only a few baths. Also, I was there for their late night "vapor bath". 1) No "vapor", 2) the pulsing bass from the nightclub next door ruined the tranquility of the bath. Skip this and check out Gellert or Szecheny.

My preferred steam bath in Budapest, and one of the best tourist attractions in the city. It preserves the structure of Turkish bath erected in XVIth century. It has the highest number of pools with different temperature (6), and you can really relax there. I really like the steam room. The bath is especially recommended in the winter.

Rudas Baths do not seem very beautiful from the outside but once you are inside you can enjoy very nice (for the Hungarian standards please keep in mind!) baths in a great atmosphere for a very low price. There is a main room with a big bath in the middle and other 4 around in each corner with different temperatures.... More
