What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Thermalbad & Spa Zurich for its stunning rooftop pool with panoramic city views and the unique Roman-Irish Spa circuit. The historic brewery setting adds significant charm, and staff are frequently noted as friendly and helpful. While the spa offers a deeply relaxing experience, some find the Roman-Irish Spa to be a nude-only zone, which may not suit everyone.
"It was a very relaxing morning. The gentleman at the reception gave us a small introduction, since we have never been there. Very friendly staff. The changing rooms are spacious and later before the Roman-Irish Spa you had a lot of space to store the bathrobe / towel, because you didn't really need this afterwards. The stations are very nicely done and you could really relax well. The outdoor pool on the roof had a spectacular view over Zurich. Next time I will definitely book a massage too."

"Absolutely worth every Franc. I spent like 3 1/2 hours here because it is just so relaxing. For how much it offers I would say it is accurately priced. I opted for addition of the Irish Roman bath. This is where I really got my money’s worth. They have 2 different Steam Rooms in the Irish Roman section, and a variety of different temperature pools. The hottest temp pool felt really nice and a semi regular temp plunge after felt amazing. Between the comfort of the warm water and the nice views of the rooftop pools I can’t decide which is my favorite. Will come back here again. Luckily I booked when most people are at work so I didn’t have too much of a crowd. I definitely will come back."

"Absolutely stunning! From the minute I walked through the doors, I felt at ease. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the facilities are amazing. I did the Roman Irish Spa and each step was just bliss and the views from the rooftop pool are something else. The building is an old brewery I believe which just adds to the charm. Highly recommend if you're ever in Zurich."
