The fitness area is very nice and clean but used to include sauna. That stopped after the pandemic. Unfortunately, fitness without to relax the muscles and destress after a workout doesn't work for me. The area is very nice, including the pools and outside area. Still gets 5 stars for this alone, but a lot more expensive these days. It used to be much more affordable. Everything was great except for the very unfriendly reception service. At first, I was given no guidelines or explanations about how things work in the (I am a foreigner, and while she could have slowly speak German or used a translator, she didn’t seem to care). Later, when I asked for my towel deposit back, she seemed unwilling to return it. She mentioned that I needed a coin but had never told me to keep it in order to get my money back. In the end, she did return it, but the whole experience felt unpleasant after what was otherwise a very relaxing visit to the sauna. First time in a spa. The were great, food was tasty, drinks were refreshing. Had a feeling it could be weird, but was overall very pleasant and relaxing This was my first time going to a European spa/thermal park and as an American - I was a bit worried because you cannot wear swimsuits. However, I found everyone working there to be very nice and helpful. Also, what I didn’t realize is everyone brings bathrobes and towels that you can wrap around yourself when you are not in the pool or in the sauna. This made me feel a lot more comfortable. Additionally, I had both food and drink at the cafe on site and it was really excellent and the prices were the same as you would pay in any restaurant. Even if you are not accustomed to this type of spa I encourage you to give it a try, I had a great experience! The area is excellent. The one negative is the parking situation. You have to park away from the therme and walk through the kurpark, which is ok, but my husband has walking problems, and it is difficult for him to walk uphill. Otherwise, perfect 👌 Not too large and very cozy place. Lots of saunas with low through high temperatures and excellent ambient. Mostly rather educated and throughout well behaved visitors. Nice and clean facilities and a small nice restaurant. On Sundays it can get a little crowdy. Shame you can’t rate this facility negatively. It’s at best a nest of xenophobia and at worst a den of racists. Their racism is overt and in your face. They made every possible effort to stop us from entering, culminating in the police being summoned when one of us tried to question their prejudices albeit vociferously. There’s a very short distance between excluding people and singling them out as ‘others’ and genocidal extermination because the fundamental thinking is the same. Germans should know this better than anyone. The irony of the kitsch Asiatic theme and the blatant racism is totally lost on the insensitive and gormless staff. On the upshot, the and pool were fairly decent. The receptionist could have been more customer friendly, and the facilities were dirty, with only one hairdryer in ladies changing room. But the most shocking was the outside pool that was covered in green moss and algae. For such a high priced sauna, we expected more. master lady was nice. I was today at this place to have a good relaxed day. Before I came to the place I called they told me there is place for 4 people. When we went to the reception to pay they didnt let us inside because it was “full” the woman at the reception Harstert is her name was very rude to us I won’t recommend any to come to this place if you want a relaxed day because at the end of the day you maybe get the chance to dont come inside and drive for nothing Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
