Meghi Dibra
Wonderful and beautiful Art Deco bath house! There is also a swimming pool and hammam. Last but not least you will be in the very good and kind hands of the staff. Especially Wali, greeting you with a big smile each and every time.
Lucy Cross
This was amazing - €15 for 2.5 hours in the badenhuis with multiple different spa pools, and the small swimming pool was perfect for some laid back swimming, and very refreshing - the perfect temperature! Everything seemed perfectly clean, and there were very good showers - would absolutely recommend!

Very outdated place and small. staff is nice but I wish I was told more about how it works. So you must take your shoes off before entering the lockers and you walk all this wet path by the pool and open showers, women and men mix, pool was very crowded when I came (4pm) and I was shocked that if I want to swim I needed to share a line with 2 or 3 people. The wellness area feels and smells not cle...
St. Aäron
Good swimming pool with a nice length of 33m instead of the usual 25m. Beautiful building as well. Gets very crowded around 18h with clubs coming to train, so come early if you can and want to do some proper lengths in relative peace.
Geert Loosveld
This sublime Art Deco 1933 indoor swimming pool 33m annex public baths by Ir Algoet & E Van Averbeke is the first to be built in the Antwerp region. The glassworks are great and details are respectfully restored. Open to public & schools for swimming & (private) bathing only. Democratic prices. Warm welcoming staff. Not to be confused with the event location/brasserie in the same building
