Overview:
The history of Lukacs Bath reveals that the geothermal hot spring waters coming from deep underground have been used by the St John’s knights in the 12th century. Lukacs Bath has its strengths and specialities, like the many Gratitude Tablets or stone plaques on its walls saying thank you for the healing power of the geothermal waters, or the Himalayan Salt Room for curing respiratory problems. Lukacs Bath may give a small taste of why Budapest is the City of Baths. Come and exeprience it yourself!
There are lots of different baths in Budapest and we spent quite a bit of time deciding which one to visit. This is a short tram ride away from the main centre but was still easy to find. We visited on a weekday afternoon. It wasn't too crowded. Locals pop in there for a chat/soak as part of their everyday routine. Everything was clean, fresh and understandable. Staff were helpful and spoke English. Think the sauna area is additional. Check at the main entry so that it can be included on your wrist band. Make sure you take a swim hat and flip flops.

Smaller than other baths in Budapest but full of locals. Not too many options in terms of temperatures and baths but calm and a great place to relax in, away from the tourism craziness of other structures.

Went here for my last morning before my afternoon flight home. Was a weekday and mainly older users though a few tourists and families too. Lockers and cabins in various locations and there also are male and female changing rooms with showers though the lockers I was direct to were upstairs and like the Kiraly ones mixed with a couple of changing cabins and didn't see any showers nearby. Hats are required to use the couple of swimming pools outside but not for the smaller outdoor thermal pools which it took me a little while to locate but very refreshing being outside in hot water with the steam rising in the sub-zero temps. Again various hot pools inside and sauna and steam which again were quite busy. Paid extra to use the "Sauna World" which was the total opposite - very tranquil as hardy any users but couple of the saunas didn't seem to be working though it was very relaxing in the naturist one and the steam room was infused with menthol.
