Hello,
I have mistakenly bought double tickets for the pool party next Saturday night, August 13th. Is there any possible way to get a refund?
Thank you.
Dear Samuel,
unfortunately, we cannot refund tickets, nor can the party organizers’ company, which is actually running the sparties and renting the place from Szechenyi Spa Baths. All of the sparty info is on our site, clearly stating that there is a no refund policy for pre-paid tickets: http://szechenyispabaths.com/bath-party-terms/
You may try to sell your tickets on our facebook page: http://szechenyispabaths.com/sparties/ (or in general on Facebook), on Ebay, or at the party entrance in the Baths.
We are sorry that we could not be better help this time.
Anyway, have a great time at the party!
i am visiting Budapest on 8th -10th August and have bought a 72 hour Hop on /Hop off bus ticket which gives me one entry to the Baths. Does this ticket give me fast track entry and how can I pre-book a cabin and locker?
Dear Harry,
the hop-on-hop-off voucher is valid only for the Bath Entry purchasing at the cashiers, unfortunately not for the fast track Baths Ticket. With this option you cannot pre-book cabin, but even if the Baths is extremely busy and there is no free cabin, lockers are usually available, so you can change and store your belongings.
Hello, I booked 2 tickects for the baths with private cabin for july 5 and I received the bill from paypal, but I haven’t received any email from you. Do I need anything else to go to the baths? Thanks.
Dear Mercedes,
Please check your spam box. However we have sent you the confirmation of the Szechenyi Baths Tickets from our back-up email address again, please be so kind and write back if you received it.
Enjoy your time in the Baths!
Hi! My boyfriend and I are visiting the Baths next month. We wanted to know if it is recommended to book a cabin so antecipated, or it is better to buy in the day we want to visit.
We´d like to book a private cabin for us – we need to book only one ticket+cabin or two tickets+cabin?
Hi Louise,
there are two options: Bath Ticket with cabin, and Bath ticket with locker. The cabins at Szechenyi Bath can comfortably take up 1 person, and a bit more tightly even a couple to get changed. So if you would like to share the cabin, you can buy 1 ticket with cabin, and 1 ticket with locker. You can find more information on this page: http://szechenyispabaths.com/szechenyi-bath-cabin/
Have a lovely time in Budapest!
Hi!
I’l be visiting Budapest mid August. Is it necessary to book tickets in advance for the Szechenyi Baths?
Dear Else,
it is not necessary to book the Szechenyi Bath Tickets in advance as you can buy them on the spot as well, but it is warmly recommended as August is one of the busiest months. Online tickets provide fast track entry so you don’t need to join the queue at the cashiers. If you wish to book a massage too, we would recommend to book in advance as appointments are subject to availability, and places are limited. http://szechenyispabaths.com/massage/
Please, let us know if we can help with your booking. Have a lovely time in Budapest.
