OK - I'll be a bit kinder in this round than I was in my Trip Advisor review, partially due to the…read morefact that this will be the first Yelp review in English, and secondly, that the other Yelp reviews speak largely to the architectural beauty of the structure, and the museum like qualities of the sculptures, the woodwork, and simply the ornate beauty of the place. I'm on board with all that. Where my review gets dicey is when you try to compare this with the ultra self-indulgent thermal and sauna complexes that are sprouting up all over northern Europe. Not a fair comparison, it seems.... As you approach the building, it is quite imposing along the river banks (literally across the street from the Deutsches Museum). I thought, "this is gonna be great!" Once inside however, I found a few things to be more challenging than I had expected. * I was unable to locate a map of the place, and after looking at the menu of fees; I still was unable to figure out exactly what I was asking for. * The person working the admission booth was quite friendly, but apparently had NO English whatsoever. I'm good with that, but... * Signage around the place was sort of hit and miss, especially since you have to leave some of your belongings in a small box near the attendant, (who also only spoke German, but was significantly more curt!) * I kept thinking I would find a map of the place so I would know where the various baths and saunas were located. If such a thing exists, it's still a mystery to me. At one point, I made my way into the hall with the main pool wrapped only in a towel, only to find the door (that would lead me back to the sauna) locked behind me. Finally figured out my wristband would unlock the door, after a bit of wondering how I would negotiate getting out of the spa in only a towel. * But most importantly, assuming I found all the major features on offer, I was a little surprised there wasn't more there. Granted, I was there on a Wednesday afternoon, but having said that, I was surprised to find the only two dozen or so other patrons in the entire place, and most of them were, shall we say, of the elder population. All the reports about the beauty of the facility are true, as it was certainly a gem of the late 19th century, and has been well preserved. Somehow, I think that I expected there would be a bit more in the sauna area, and that even if exclusively in German, the staff would be a bit more helpful to a wayward and weary tourist. Maybe four or five stars on another day with a different attendant working the locker room, but not this time around!

Yelp is now urging me not to leave it hanging and show what I've got. This site brought to you in association with Therme Erding? Because if you head for the Thermenwelt ("spa world") then letting it all hang out is part of the program - for young and old, male and female, petite and portly. In fact, if you embrace the textilfrei concept and leave your hangups in the (co-ed) locker room, then you'll quickly forget your self-consciousness. In fact, you'll feel more uncomfortable wearing a pair of what the Brits call "budgie smugglers" (Speedos) - as the odd one out. Enjoy the FKK spirit but don't for a moment kid yourself that Therme Erding is focused on the principles of FKK. Especially the last five years, it has gone for the wallet's jugular vein. A suite? A mountain hut from Upper Bavaria with a DVD player and widescreen, for the day? Or a hotel for the night at twice the local rate? The pool bar is fun, especially if you're a little tipsy. It's an experience, propping up the bar in your birthday suit. My advice: don't go alone unless you're cruising - I can't give you any tips there but I've heard it's sometimes a thing. Recruit a friend if you're single; take your partner no matter how prudish they may be, and let the experience wash over you ... The on-site restaurants aren't all that great but you can get overpriced Thai street food or decent-ish Italian. There's a resto in the textile area that offers burgers, too. And please don't pee in the pool!

The pool to me is a little to "cold" - thats not the water, but the way the marbel steps and all are set up. There is no place to relax - except maybe outdoors in the summer. The hot outdoor pool is realy nice, but way too often way too crowded. This also goes for the main pool - you have to get out of peoples way a lot. The stream room would be nice, but is very small and also seems "old" and is often crowded. Overall the changing area and the showers could be a little better maintained and cleaned. As to the fitness center, where I go most often. The staff is always open, friendly and helpfull! The machines are good in numbers and usually well maintained towards the excercise part - but the entertainment leaves lots to be desired. TV reception if frequently bad or interruped. Also an online login is shown, no network is available. WiFi would be real nice. You can keep a paper file of your workouth though.
