    Magnum Sauna

    I went there on a Wednesday afternoon, the place was quit busy but mostly seniors (65 and over). With my 45 years of age I was one of the youngest. After 5 pm many of the clients left and younger guys arrived. The staff was very friendly, they spoke English very well and the place looked very clean. The place has some dry saunas and a steam room, a jacuzzi, a big labyrinth and cabins, some with slings. I met some nice guys and had a good time.

I think if you are looking for fun you will find in this place. Place is crowded but it is advantage ;-) I recommend this place. All the best to Janos- thank you for Your gift ;-) I will drink your health.

    I have been to this sauna on many different days of the week. The best times obviously are the weekends however it gets really crowded and sometimes is difficult to find a room for you and your partner. I live in the USA and I am use to rent a room however in EUROPE I think is not a common practice and it is not a common practice in other countries either very few rent rooms just be aware that if you hoag a room maybe some nasty little man may be asking you for that room. The sauna caters to all ages very old ones to young ones. There are beautiful guys and troll ones. The staff always have been very nice. You pay when you exit. They converted a room past the glory holes into a sling room however you can’t dimme the lights so it is to bright . Beers, sodas etc etc at the front desk. Overall a great experience .ill be going back by the end of this year hopefully I’ll have a great time again.

    I have been there many times unfortunately my vacations were cut short due to multiple reasons and I couldn’t go to the different events. I was never charged more than the locals. It is true that there are no rooms for rent but that is the case in all gay sauna in Europe except for SPLASH in BERLIN that burned down 2 years ago. The rooms are there for everybody to use. Even though there are plenty of rooms when it gets crowded, couples are walking around searching for an empty room. And sometimes because you are a foreigner and don’t understand the language and occupying a room. But maybe some guy will approach you with there and ask you to vacate the room - at least that is what I assume and that’s why I prefer to pay for a room in the STATES. Magnum is worth the visit, guys of all ages go. The staff is always cleaning and they are polite never have a problem. Sometimes because it’s the first time in a particular sauna you don’t know how it works and that is when misunderstandings occur. It has happen to me. I will always go to MAGNUM and hopefully have a great time.

    Very lively, a lot of space, a lot of people. I liked the flexible system of payment - you can take a subscription for three visits at a discount, pay for a visit afterwards, issued with a condom. Dark/naked parties are quite popular. Quite expensive for former but it's worth it

    Magnum Sauna

    Lots of action and sometimes so much action that there are not plenty of rooms. So don’t monopolize a room if you are not doing anything just waiting be sure that somebody will ask you for that room and sometimes in no pleasant terms. It is not like in the USA where there are rooms for rent. Personally I prefer it that way but the world doesn’t revolve around me. Diverse crowd gorgeous Hungarian guys to really ugly ones, lots of tourists. Pleasant staff they keep the venue clean. Attitude like anywhere else from the pleasant ones to the ones that think too much of themselves and you wonder why? Guys of all ages from the PYTS to the really old from skinny one to really fat ones from great bodies to average bodies. Visit this sauna and you will not be disappointed beautiful sauna to go to.

    Visit Magnum sauna whilst in Budapest. It's easy to find but the layout can catch the first time out as it did me. Once you come down the stairs the bar is on your left. You pay when you leave. First right is the lounge, Second right is the changing rooms. straight ahead is the showers. On the left of the showers is the steam room. It's hot and in two parts. plenty of action going on too. To the right of the showers is the loo. Through the second plastic curtain is the Jacuzzi. Then you into the maze. Which has plenty of place to have fun. Turn right as you enter takes you passed a couple of cell rooms and slings. For the saunas turn right when you see the fire escape sign, this should then take you to the stairs and the second floor, where the four saunas are. Have fun. Going straight ahead leads you to more play areas. The crowd is mixed, local and tourist, old and young, fat and thin. There is usually plenty to see and do. Well worth a visit.

    Magnum Sauna

    Beautiful sauna very cruisy, like any other sauna of the world there are all kinds of guys in their 20's up to 70's. The entrance fee $13.50 you pay it when you leave the sauna. Monday's Tuesday's Wednesday's and Thursday's lots of action between 4 pm and 8pm a lot many out of shape guys but also quite attractive 20's30's40's guys. Many tourist from all over Europe and the USA some speak English, others not at all but it is really not necessary, you hook up in the hallways and take your partner to one of the many free rooms. And for the adventurous ones ; there is a SLING where you can lock the door for privacy inside the room to your right there is a switch that if you turn it off one you end up with a kind of bluish light. And trust me that room is used a lot. The sauna closes around 10:30 or 11:00 pm but on Friday's opens at 1 pm and closes at 4 am the next day, at around 10:00 pm on FRIDAYS they turn off the lights and becomes a wild night lots of action.. it is a very clean sauna. The staff speaks English and they seem pretty nice. Overall I had a great experience and I will definitely go back in October or November. Hungarian guys you made my stay memorable THANKS.

    Magnum Sauna

    Being a regular guest, I could only recommend this venue for either chill out in the lovely saunas (many to choose from) or for some hot actions (private cabins, gloryholes, dark steam). The friendly staff, the special atmosphere and the visitors from all ages and shapes will guarantee that you will not regret your visit. At the top of it is the cheap entrance fee! Magnum features many themed events: - sauna séances on Thursdays (at 17, 18 and 19 pm, with free tea and a fruit plate in between the events to facilitate the detoxification of your body) - Pizza parties - Dark and Naked parties every Friday and Sunday evening These events also worth giving a try, my presonal favorite is the sauna séance. Ps: if you are into younger guys then best to go at weekends before or after party times.

    Magnum Sauna

    A Magnum maximálisan elnyerte tetszésemet. Az idén 15-ik születésnapját ünneplő szauna elhelyezkedése kitűnő, alapterülete nagy, a hely tiszta, a személyzet kifejezetten barátságos, szolgálatkész, szorgalmas. Külön tetszik, hogy a felújítások alkalmával az emeleti részre kerültek a szaunák, így jobban elkülönül a relaxálás az egyéb más "tevékenységtől". A korosztályos kedvezményes napoknál is mindenkire gondoltak, az árak elfogadhatóak. Külön öröm sokunknak, hog idén elkészült a Jakuzzi is, szóval csak dícsérni tudom a helyet. Aki még nem járt ott, az mindenképp pótolja ezen hiányosságát, és látogasson el a Magnumba! Péter

    Magnum Sauna

    I visited this sauna while I was in Budapest. First of all I was really pleasantly surprised by the prices. Compared to London it was really cheap. Sauna was nice and clean, the rooms can be locked and you don't even have to pay extra to use them. Every room had paper towels and some of them even have porn movies running. The crowd was a good mix from 20-somethings to 50 somethings. I absolutely enjoyed the upper level with the bio sauna and the dip pool. Really well done, and quite a unique experience. I haven't seen many gay saunas which are actually taking pride in having a great selection of sauna rooms. This place does. The jacuzzi was fun and quite busy, always full. I actually had to wait for my turn, but it was worth it. Steam room was a bit too dark for my taste. I didn't know the facility also had a gym, otherwise I'd have bought my gym gear. Took a look around and one guy was working out naked. It was an interesting sight. I'll definitely visit again, if I'm in the city.

    Szerdán voltam! Nagyon jól éreztem magam, és csak azért utaztam fel Nyíregyházáról, hogy részese lehessek ennek az élménynek. Csodás a társaság. Én 58 éves vagyok, de voltak olyanok, akik idősebbek, és voltak fiatalabbak is. Még a 20-as korosztályból is voltak páran. Meghitt, intim hely, ahol én mindig megtalálom az igényeimnek megfelelő partnert is. Az igényeim írhatom azt, hogy nem kicsik, és itt az emberi tulajdonságokra gondolok elsősorban!

    Nothing special, typical sauna, very dark to tell who is who, 20 or so guys there, cruising around but few actions. I always think most attractive and younger guys use online apps and would not bother sauna any more. So, customers are truly older and out of shape. I went on a naked Friday, staff ask everyone to lose their tower, not sure it aroused me or dis-aroused me. Guess owner is trying hard to attract customers, unfortunately sauna seems to be doomed, everywhere.

    Dear Peter, thanks for your candid review. Yes, we have our share of older out of shape guests but we also have our share of in shape younger guys. Our business is doing well and although the demise of the bathhouse as a business model has been heralded many times, truth is that most bathhouses around the world are still operating and new big ones are being opened (Boiler Berlin or Rőmer sauna Vienna). Hooking up with applications has it s positive and negatives, just as hooking up in a sauna does. Greetings János

    Online sex apps are undercutting bath houses in most cities, so I don't expect much when I visit one lately. Luckily this one was just fine given that Budapest isn't Berlin. Larger than I expected, better maintained than most and reasonably priced. Staff was friendly. Like most saunas in Europe, you do not have the option to rent your own room but you can use one that is not occupied and there were plenty available here - even one with a sling. Average age of the patrons was around 40 which is typical with most bath houses these days. Not terribly busy but enough guys to find some fun. A local told me to arrive Friday at 10pm.

    Dear P Thanks for your nice review. As I answered previously, I don't think that apps are killing gay saunas. In fact, if what you want is to have som nsa time, then you"re probably better off in a sauna instead of spending countless hours trying to organise something on the net. János

    Visited the sauna on a Wednesday, I was led to believe Wednesday would be a busy day but this was not the case. Even though there a spray bottles and wipes to clean the cabins, the cabins do still smell. Only 3 people under the age of 60, the over 60s were very pushy and smelly Would not go here again.
