We attended the Rudas baths and were pleasantly surprised most of the patrons were local men, not just tourists. I found the sulphur smell a bit overwhelming however there are plenty of rooms to avoid it. The steamroom is fantastic although if you're a novice I suggest you sit on a lower bench to avoid scalded ears. The tiny serviettes... More

We visited Rudas Baths because they were almost in every single travel guide and pamphlet mentioning Budapest's thermal baths. We were intrigued that they were recently renovated and of Ottoman style. So we went, and we did not enjoy it. The baths were fine but the service did really ruin it for us. We are not talking about typical non-customer... More

My friends and I decided to take advantage of the "restorative" properties of the baths in Budapest by visiting the Rudas bath on the day of arrival from the states. It is a classic turkish style bath (recently updated I am told) but retaining the old world charm. We went on a men's only day and it added to the... More

There is only one Women only day...Tuesday. The weekends are Coed and the other days, Men Only.We got lucky and found that out ahead of time and scheduled our day around visiting this bath. It was OUTSTANDING! It was very clean with very nice changing cabins. One large pool in the middle that was just the right temperature... you could... More

Have seen previous reviews, I was a little wary. My concerns were unfounded! All the renovations to the building have been competed and the result is very impressive and efficient. The front desk staff did speak English and the manager was especially helpful. I booked ahead via e-mail (access from the Rudas Baths website) for various treatments which i found... More

it was great to go there, a bit hard to find the pool after therms, as you have to cross the hall, but it was an enjoyable atmosphere and little people on the Sunday morning

I have been to Rudas 2x now and it is my favourite Budapest bath so far. It operates as a men only bath on most days, however they have female days on Tuesdays and mixed days over the weekend (call/check online before you go). A word of warning: on a male day you will be given a small, rather revealing... More

Although Rudas is women-only on Tuesdays and open to both genders on weekends (requiring swim suits), this strikes me as a fairly optional male-only activity. I enjoyed it but I didn't even ask my traveling companions if they wanted to go. Americans remain uncomfortable with nudity (or near-nudity in this case with the strange front-only apron-like cloths that are provided... More

On every Friday and Saturday, this place is open from 10pm till 4am. Go there at night and put yourself in the baths, then have a relax or sleep on one of the beds there. The place looks great, it has six baths with different temperatures, two saunas (dry and wet), massage hall, lockers, beds for relaxation, etc. You might... More
