I was lucky to get permission to photograph the thermal pools after opening hours, around 15 years ago now. This was before various renovation projects and looked fabulous, faded and ancient. Got some awesome shots! I used to stay in the Hotel and go down for my morning soak at 6am as it opened. Ahhh luxury indeed.
Just visited the place and was sorely disappointed. Although it was a Thursday morning, the place was packed, it took me almost an hour to find a locker that worked, and it was very loud. Also, some pools were closed for renovation and there were hardly any lounge chairs available to relax. Architecturally it is stunning, but the experience was anything but relaxing. The inflated entrance fee of 10.500 HUF (27 EUR) is not worth it, in my opinion. I would much rather go to the Rogner Therme Bad Blumau in Austria, which also has amazing architecture, a large thermal bath landscape and actual quiet areas where you can truly relax.
Hi Mariana, yes the swimming pool is the big middle one, for that cap is required, but it can be bought at the Spa Store. That one isn't as warm as the other thermal pools :) I mainly enjoyed just sitting and relaxing in the hot water :)
@@harryshouse007 Haven't heard anything... and considering situation with energy prices and inflation, I don't think they will re-open anytime soon, which is a pitty :(
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures. Let’s hope Kiraly opens again . Oh if I was rich ! Hoping to be back in my beautiful land of spas next year and venturing to Arpad, Szeckesfehervar and Torok, Eger. Very exicted,

Thank you so much for the support! :)
This video shows the beauty of the inside. I also made a video but mine is not good as this video. I need to learn how to shoot.
Thanks for the kind comment, I see you have been to Budapest not so long ago, hope you had a good time :)
Hello. Swimming pool is just the bigger one? Thank you

It isn't the 'last chance' really as it's closed only because it is getting renovated 🙂
Yeye, but it will be a very long time until it gets opened, and I sure hope it it wont feel like an eternity (Looking at you, Rácz Fürdő :D)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Any news on Kiraly opening?

Oh no, not the Kiraly bath, my absolute favourite 😢 (I have come from Australia twice to visit this bath)
Any chance you could tell us which music track you were using in the video? :-)
Hey there, thanks for asking. For this video I used "A Special Place" from Simon Jomphe Lepine. 🙂
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Thanks so much!! I couldn't find it even though I was using Shazam to track it down. :-)
Do you have to bring your own towel ?
It's advised to bring your own towel and flipflops since the place sells them at horrible prices 😊
Are there any nude baths or spas like Austria?
Hey there! Nude beaches and baths aren't really a thing around here. Some Spas have nude Saunas but that's really it.
