Irgalmasok Veli Bej Bath

It was a bit difficult to find as we didn't think it would be within a hospital building. You have to use the hospital entrance to get to the place. We had a great relaxing time in different pools. There are different temperature pools to choose from. It closes a lot later than most of the other bath. It's a lot cheaper than the other popular place with tourists.

Small but beautiful, with a very good price for morning visit (4500 Ft!) and I spent 2.5 hours there. Five pools in the beautiful dome section followed by two saunas and two steam rooms. A hidden gem.

The main Turkish bath is really good, though I wish it were a bit hotter. Hygiene is fine—you shouldn’t expect luxury from places like this. The saunas are okay, and there are several small pools with different temperatures. It wasn’t too crowded. Tickets are purchased on the spot, but you may need to wait 30–60 minutes to get in. Overall, a fun experience.

Personal isn’t that much warm, but the bath are really good. Hygiene was good, saunas are nice ; you don’t need to go naked. The pools are really nice with different temperatures and not to crowded. They count how many people can get in and you may be need to wait 30-60mins to come in. They are not that much cabins.

Veli Bej has been a favorite of ours over the years. In the past we would drop the kids off at school on Friday mornings and head there and have the place pretty much to ourselves. Sadly, it is not like this today and probably is part of a more complex Budapest Spa story. The spas have become very popular with tourists - not necessarily a bad thing, but this seems to crowd and price out locals. So mini rant over, back VBej. A nice enough spa, clean and pleasant renovation of an original Turkish bath. Not quite big enough for their customer limit and would benefit from another sauna, Jacuzzi and both steam rooms working at peak times. For not much more money, try Lukacs, not so modern, perhaps a quaint retro vibe, but for me, a better spa experience. Rudas is the nicest architecture and has a pool and additional spa area, but you pay for it and at busy times may have to queue. There is another spa under renovation which will help the pressure on them and another, already renovated but not open for some “legal dispute”. So 2026 may give more choices.

Great little bath for an early morning visit. Mostly frequented by locals at such an early hour, but much less crowded compared to the public baths. The facilities are a little simpler compared to the bigger baths, but everything was tremendously clean and if you are just interested in the Turkish bath then the pools there would be enough for a good hour or two of relaxation. One thing to note is that the longer swimming area could be used by hospital patients for water aerobics and would be closed to bath visitors. Slight inconvenience for me but not too big of a deal.

Historic Turkish bath recently renovated and currently in pristine condition. One large central thermal pool under the main roof with four smaller pools on the side with gradually increasing temperature. Saunas, steam baths and hydro-therapeutic pools complete the offering. Can highly recommend!

Veli Bej Baths is a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy a traditional Hungarian bath experience. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and offer a variety of pools and saunas to suit different preferences. It’s a perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing or just to treat yourself to some self-care. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, with friendly staff who make sure everything runs smoothly. The baths are conveniently located and not as crowded as some of the more famous ones, which adds to the overall peaceful feeling. One important thing to note is that the maximum time allowed for a visit is three hours, which is plenty of time to enjoy the pools and relax fully without feeling rushed. The prices are fair considering the quality of the facilities and the experience you get. Whether you want a quick dip or a longer soak, Veli Bej Baths offers a great balance of comfort and authenticity. Overall, it’s a highly recommended place for anyone wanting to experience Hungarian thermal baths in a pleasant and convenient setting. Five stars for the atmosphere, cleanliness, and overall value.
