The term ‘Szechenyi Bath cabin’ is used for changing rooms and storage rooms at Szechenyi Baths, in other words the cabins at Szechenyi Baths are private changing cabins, where you can, in your own privacy get changed and store your belongings.
Another option is to use the common changing areas and lockers for your items to be locked up.
Szechenyi Bath Ticket – Cabin Use
The tickets to the bath can be purchased with ‘cabin use’, or with lockers. The cabin is an extra service on behalf of Szechenyi Baths (plus they take up a lot of room), so the tickets with cabins are approx. (depending on the actual currency rates) 3 Euro more expensive than the standard bath tickets, which include a locker by default. It is up to you if you want to have a more upgraded service at Szechenyi Bath or you are fine with the cheaper bath tickets, which do not include the use of a cabin.
You can also buy your ticket to the Szechenyi Baths online and save some time (not having to stand in the queue, which in summer time or during major holidays, can mean 25-35 min waiting before you get to the cashier). Please note that the online ticket may cost a bit more, depending on packages, handling fees, inclusions, etc. than purchasing the tickets in person at the bath (subject to availability at all times). For buying your entry on the spot, kindly make sure to have Forints in your wallet or an acceptable card, e.g. Visa or Mastercard.
The cabins at Szechenyi Bath can comfortably take up 1 person, and a bit more tightly even a couple to get changed. However, if you wish to use the cabin as a couple or as a family, we suggest getting changed by taking turns.
You can see the photo of a bath cabin at Szechenyi Baths – closed doors, and what is behind the door. As you can see the cabin is not a spacious room, as it has been designed for getting changed for the pools, not for staying in. That said, as you can see, the cabin is large enough to accommodate a normal suitcase, so some guests who directly arrive from Budapest Airport to the Baths, or the other way around, take a taxi / shuttle from the thermal baths to Ferihegy Airport, will opt for storing their suitcase in the cabin, which is completely acceptable (for valuables you can pay for a small safety deposit box to have a peace of mind)
This is what a Szechenyi cabin looks like from the inside (clean, purposeful, nothing fancy, perfect for having your privacy while getting changed in the baths):

Hi! I have 1 question, I want to purchase the Morning bath ticket with cabin usage for 2 hours (6-8 am) onilne, can I arrive after 6am (around 6:30) and my ticket will still be valid untill 8am?
Thank you!
Juliana
Dear Juliana,
unfortunately there is no online option to buy the early morning ticket. You can buy this type of ticket on the spot, at the cashiers, and it will be valid till 8 am.
Have a lovely time in the Baths!
Hi,
We are coming to Budapest by cruise. This is where our ship disembark at. We would like to visit the famous Szechenyi Baths before taking our flight in the evening. Just been concerned with our luggages (2 of the 75cm suitcases). If we hire 2 bath cabins to store our luggages, do you think it would be alright? Or do you suggest us to store our luggages elsewhere? Please recommend. Thank you! Hannah
Hi, if i purchase a ticket with a cabin, is it sure that i will have it?
I’ve heard of a woman who paid in advance for the cabin but when she arrived the cabins were all full and she haven’t had her money back.
Dear Peppa,
During busy periods (as weekends) it can happen that cabins are full, and locker is given. If this is the case, Guests need to let the colleagues know at the help desk, that they would like to get a refund on the price difference between the Ticket with Cabin and the Ticket with Locker. If the Guests miss to make this notice, unfortunately refund is not secured.
Thank you. So buying a ticket with Cabin you don’t keep the cabin free until i arrive?
Szia! If a couple would like to share a cabin must we both purchase cabin tickets? Or do we purchase one cabin ticket and one general entry?
Thank you for your response and my apologies as I know this question must be asked quite often but I have not been able to find a response yet. :)
Dear Candice,
one of you can buy a Ticket with a Cabin, and one of your need to buy a Ticket with a Locker – as there is no “plain” Ticket option unfortunately. Enjoy your time in the Baths!
Köszönöm szépen! One last point of clarification – is it possible to have two separate wrist bands access the same cabin? Or is it one wristband per cabin?
Good Morning,
I’d like to know if the Private Cabin includes a locker to?
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Susana
Hello Susana,
the cabins are locked.
The door of the cabin has a unique chip code lock, which opens and closes with a special waterproof bracelet: in fact, with the chip incorporated in the wristband bath entry provided at the bath. Please make sure that your door is locked with the silicon wristband before leaving the cabin. As you are wearing the band all the times, it is quite secure if you make sure that the door is not left open.
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Spa Baths!
Hi I’m planning my visit to Budapest in Feb, looking forward to visiting the Szechenyi spa baths. Could you tell me what packages are the best to buy. Do you get some that include treatments or do they book separate. Any help would be appreciated.
