Even if there were notes "keine Selbstbedienung" If you are not with kids, it is totally enough to take ticket to the saunas only. They also have a warm pool to the outside. We took the combi ticket to both areas as we thought there would be no pools in the sauna area. The therme side is nice if you only want to chill in the pools and be with your kids. The Sauna area has many different Saunas, from 40 to 50 degrees and 60-80 degrees. Infusion is done in one of the most biggest saunas once per hour. One of the highlights was the boatsauna on the river!

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!

Soak up the Alpine peaks and the majesty of Lake Kochel - you can even go for a skinny dip if you want to brave the cold ... it's a mountain lake. Where else can you soak in a saltwater tub with a view of the mountains - enticing in the summer, snow-capped in the winter. The showpiece sauna is too big, sure it's also way too hot. I've burned my feet on the hike to the nearest seating. But the view ... As other reviewers have highlighted, the steam room is tiny (it holds 5, at a push) and you need to hose cold water over the sensor to get any steam. And no view. The plunge pools are great, and feature different types of water - sodium, salt, etc. If you're a sauna lover, avoid Sundays. They allow mixed textile and nudist bathing. I don't know who is more uncomfortable. They also allow kids, so if you're looking to relax in peace and quiet, choose another day. The food isn't all that great. And that's being generous.

This is not the nicest spa that I have been to, but it is still very nice. It functions like most German and Austrian spas. The spa portion is textile-free. My husband and I were with my sister, so we opted out of this portion, but the sauna area looked very nice. We enjoyed the pools~both outdoor and indoor. The outdoor pool has some nice shallow lying areas and different features that are on timers to move around the pool. This area was popular with children and families. Indoors, there is a sports pool that links to a small area with a float. There is also a separate water slide, which was extremely entertaining. Once done, the showers are perfectly nice and the restaurant (McAlps) inside is an "ok" choice for food, especially if you do not want to leave the complex.

I am IN LOVE with the sauna area and the killer view into the mountains. The saunas and steam rooms are textile free, so no bathing suits allowed. It takes some getting used to for foreigners, but it's really the best way to enjoy. I went to an "Aufguss", which means they keep the door of the particular sauna closed for a good 15 minutes while an employee adds scents and water to the hot stone inside and makes the whole room extra amazing and hot, hot, hot. Afterwards you can enjoy a nice plunge into the ice cold pool or rub yourself off with ice. They also have foot baths with hot and cold water to get your circulation going. An additional highlight was the cafeteria, believe it or not. Absolutely yummy foods like "Wurstsalat", "Currywurst" and the best soft pretzels I had during this entire trip. Will we be back? Hell yeah!
