Hi, Do you have any availability for massages on the 26th december 2019 please?
Dear Khadija,
Unfortunately, there will be no fast track entries or cabins (changing cubicles) sold during the upcoming Winter Holiday Season (between Dec 24, 2019 – Jan 7, 2020) based on a managerial decision. Please note that the baths will be open, however, we kindly suggest that you go there early because tickets/massages will be sold on the spot on the first-come-first-served basis.
Festive guides recommended during the month of Dec:
Budapest Christmas ideas, activities, programs and events
New Year Budapest things to do

Have a great time in Budapest.
Hi! I want to know if on Saturdays baths close at 1:00 pm or if they are open the entire day like the other days. Thanks a lot
Dear Roberta,
Gellert Spa opening times: Monday – Sunday: 6 am – 8 pm (pools need to be vacated 15 minutes before closing time).
Have a great day.
Good morning to you
Are you providing bath towels and soap?
If yes is it included in the entrance fee?
thanks
Dear Zvi,
Thank you for your comment.
Towels can be rented on the spot or can be bought as part of a bath kit: http://gellertspa.com/gellert-spa-bath-kit
As well as you can bring your own. Shower gels are provided for showering.
I hope this helps.
Have a great day.
If I visit multiple times in the same day (e.g. morning and afternoon), will I need multiple tickets, or is a ticket valid for the entire day / unlimited visits?
Thanks in advance
Hello Alf,
The bath tickets in the thermal baths in Budapest are all single passes and do not entitle visitors for multiple entries. In short, the answer would be yes, if you visit then leave the baths, you would be required to buy an additional spa entry for each re-entry.
The exception is the Private Bath section which is completely separated from the public pools, so to go to the private bath would not require an entry.
We usually suggest visiting more of the thermal baths in Budapest if you should leave the bath, why not explore a different highlight of the thermal baths in Budapest? Szechenyi Baths, Rudas Baths are unique and beautiful in their own ways offering multiple pools with hot spring waters.
Hi, Is it possible to hire the venue for a group of 110 in an evening? Or for smaller groups early in the morning in May?
Dear Abbi,
Thank you for contacting us. We already dropped you an email to further assist you.
Have a lovely rest of the day!
2020 June 22nd or 23rd ….Do you have availability for 2 people for a 45 or 60 minute massage and access to baths? Thank You.
Hi Val,
Yes, there are appointments available for this date.
Please look at http://gellertspa.com/gellert-bath-massage for booking them. Thank you.

Furthermore, I would like you to inform me about the total cost in euros. Thank you in advance!
