      Dear Sebastian,

      unfortunately there is no option to borrow a chess set in Szechenyi Baths, if you would like to play, you need to bring your own set.
      Have a lovely time in the Bath.

  5. hi we will be in budapest on monday 10st of october, how much is it to book a private bath and for how long is it

  6. Hello,

    Is it possible to book a private bath for 9 people on saturday?

    • Szechenyi Spa Baths

      Dear Kiklom,
      Currently Szechenyi Baths offers Private Bath service usually for larger groups (e.g. 50 persons), as the private pool rental prices are extremely high.
      The smaller private baths are for 1-2 persons and have not recently been restored yet.

      In Gellert Spa there is a Private Bath for max. 4 people. Hope this helps.
