Tourists visiting Szechenyi Spa Baths are often puzzled by the various tickets: there are separate prices of entry for tickets with lockers and tickets with cabins. But what is a cabin in Szechenyi Baths and what is a locker? Do you need them at all?
Well, first of all, there are no plain tickets without a locker or a cabin.
Secondly, both lockers and cabins are for storing your belongings while you are enjoying the indoor baths and outdoor pools at Szechenyi Baths. Lockers are standard wardrobe type boxes with a lock on them (like the ones at train stations or at standard swimming pools). The size of the locker is 120x30x65 cm (1200 x 300 x 650 mm).
Cabins, on the other hand, are smallish changing rooms combined with storage facilities. In a bath cabin, you can get changed privately AND store your items in a safe place.
The cabin comfortably accommodates one person, so if you are a couple it might seem a bit tight, but you can take turns in getting changed (of course, the same applies to families or smaller groups too). As cabins take up more space and ensure your privacy, bath entries with cabin use (or more precisely, cabin hire) are more expensive than simple lockers. If you buy the cheaper bath entries with lockers, you will have to get changed in the women-only / men-only public changing rooms, and then store your bags in the lockers. If you wish to have your own privacy or are shy, cabins are definitely an ideal solution. Regular swimming pool goers will be fine with the lockers we assume.
Hello. Our family of 3 are hoping to visit in the first week of January but tickets for that week are showing as unavailable. Are the baths closed during that week?

How to buy a package for a couple for August 22nd. Meaning a massage; the bath and a cabin? Do we get to get a massage as a couple- same area? How much and can we still book this online?

We are a family of 6 and will be in Budapest November 24-26. Our youngest son is 17 and the rest are older. I have a few questions; Are you open at that time? If so how far in advance should we book? Are cabins booked independently? Any information for a group like ours would be most helpful.
Hello Kathleen,
Thank you for contacting us.
Szechenyi Bath will be open in November and the tickets will be available from September onwards. Please reserve your entries at least a month in advance, especially if you are planning to book a treatment too.
For a family of 6 you can purchase a combination of tickets, some with a cabin and some with a locker. The cabin is the size of a changing room in a shop, it is suitable for one person at the time. You can use it for more than one person by taking turns. It can also be used as a storage while you are in the pools.
We hope you have a lovely trip to Budapest!
Hello! I would love to visit the baths with my mother who uses a wheelchair. Is this possible? We are ok to rent a larger cabin and pay the additional fees.
