Can you rent a towel in Szechenyi Furdo? The short answer to this frequently asked question in Szechenyi Bath rental is that yes, you can, but only in the exquisite rooftop spa relaxation zone which is in fact a Green House with palm trees, hammocks, sofas, fruits, teas, cocktails and rental services, hence the name Palm House DaySpalm. Short term hire of towels in Szechenyi Baths is unfortunately not available with standard bath tickets in Szechenyi Bath.
You can purchase a towel on the spot: the fluffy towel makes a nice gift and serves as a keepsake luxury towel embroidered with the Szechenyi Bath logo. Alternatively, you can purchase a disposable towel at a fraction of the cost. For environmental reasons, as part of green tourism, we kindly ask you to consider bringing your own light weight towel. Microfibre towels are reusable, super absorbing and ultra lightweight, suitable for carrying around the city.
Rental services are only available in the exclusive Palm House Package – PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN TOWEL / SWIMWEAR/ SLIPPERS OR PURCHASE A TOWEL ON THE SPOT
Please note that towels are only available for purchase (prices starting at approx. HUF 6,000 per piece), unless you book the exclusive package called Palm House DaySpalm Package (with full day bath entry, Cabin, Palm House entry, fruits, rentals and more).
Renting a Towel in Szechenyi Bath
Once you have decided to pay a visit to Szechenyi Baths, you can put together your own bath bag (see our list of what to take to Szechenyi Baths), Before packing for Hungary, you may have realised that there is little room for a towel, especially if you wish to visit the city while popping into some of the fascinating thermal baths like Szechenyi Bath, Gellert Spa or Rudas Bath.
Lightweight travel towels (made of quick dry microfibre material) come in handy if you wish to minimise the bath bag to carry around. They are not only fast drying and a fraction of the weight of cotton towels, but they are also incredibly absorbent. Microfibre towels can be squeezed into very small packages as their thread is like silk, super thin and lightweight, yet durable.
Towel Options at Szechenyi Baths
As towel rental is currently not a default option in Budapest thermal baths, you can choose to bring your own or buy your own towel on the spot (no pre-order is available).
There are two kinds of towels available for sale at the spa baths: comfy fluffy towels of high quality fabric and low quality disposable towels.
The disposable towels are simple bath sheets, rather than thick fluffy towels, designed for a single use. For an environment friendly option, kindly consider bringing your own towel (we suggest quick dry light weight towels to minimise the load while you are exploring the attractions in Budapest).
Alternatively, as a keepsake, you can also buy a larger cotton towel at an official vendor in the main hall of Szechenyi Bath.
Towel rental is an option though if you pre-purchase the DaySpalm package, which is a more expensive spa package (it provides access to the exclusive rooftop relaxation area, includes a cocktail, towel rental & bath robe rental, etc.).

We are a group of 10 planning to visist the spa on Sunday 28 February at around midday. Do we need to book in advance or is it OK to just turn up and pay?
Thanks
Dear Beth,
thank you for your inquiry.
It is not necessary to book your tickets in advance, except if you would like to have massages as well, because in this case the advance booking is recommended (as massage hours are limited).

Dear Filipe,
thank you for contacting us.
Tickets can be purchased on the spot with cash or card, but these are not fast track spa entries, unlike the online bought ones.
I hope I could be of help.
Hello!
Just want to confirm, I am planning on buying our tickets online (bath entry with cabin). The cabin can fit a cabin luggage bag is that correct?
And there is no way to rent a towel in advance we def have to wait in the queue?
Is the towel rental queue long on a friday afternoon in January?
Dear Vanisha,
Yes, you can leave your luggage in the cabin.
Towel rental is not possible online in advance, but you can buy a towel if you wish, as a part of a Bath Kit.
Thank you for your reply.
Can you confirm the cost of a towel? – Huf 1000 + Huf 1000 Deposit? Is that correct?
And can you confirm when you will start selling tickets for the rest of January?
Thanks
