The Spa Centre is run by the management of the Budapest Spas Co. Ltd, so this is a different company we are dealing with. We have received numerous reports of theft lately. We called the management who denied the facts. We believe the matter is disgusting and we are deeply sorry for the ones who became victims. Please do not take any valuables to the pools with you.
