Frommer's Review
Near the Erzsébet Bridge, on the Buda side of the city, is the second oldest of Budapest's classic Turkish baths, built in the 16th century. These baths are for men only every day except Tuesday during the day or Friday and Saturday nights. This is a new phenomenon, which was started after the bath reopened after a year's remodeling. The centerpiece is an octagonal pool under a 10m (33-ft.) domed roof with some of the small window holes in the cupola filled with stained glass, while others are open to the sky, allowing diffused light to stream in. Along the sides, there are four corner pools of varying degrees of temperature. During early mornings the crowd is predominantly composed of older men. You'll find the same services and facilities here that you would at Király: thermal baths of varying degrees, a sauna, and a steam bath.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
