Gellert Spa is one of the most famous thermal spa baths in Europe, and one of the leading natural hot spring spa baths in Budapest, Hungary
Kindly note that 1 out of the 10 pools will be closed due to maintenance in the upcoming months.
Gellert thermal pools, swimming pool, outdoor pool and spa treatments offer a great relaxation and entertainment all year round. Visit Gellert Spa Bath and experience high quality relaxation at a fraction of the costs you would pay in any western country.
Gellert Bath opened in 1918 offering medicinal water treatments using the same deep underground springs the Knights of St John used in the 12th century, and later on the Turks to feel the invigorating powers of the mineral rich waters.
Gellert Spa by River Danube Budapest
Gellert Spa is situated by the river Danube where panoramic boats carry passengers by day and by night. The building of the thermal bath is one of the many beautiful riverside attractions along the river in Budapest. To see available boat tours in the city you can check Budapest river cruise programmes and their daily timetables.
Come and visit our favourite bath in Budapest besides Szechenyi Baths: Gellert Spa Bath is the true gem of the thermal baths where you can easily spend a day, explore the numerous pools, get luxury treatments without having to feel crowded by other tourists. Spa and elegance await you in the Art Nouveau building of the almost hundred year old Gellert Bath.
Gellert Spa is famous for its lovely warm spring water pools, its architecture, its landscape, and also for its spa treatments, and pampering massage therapies at reasonable prices.
Gellert Spa Bath – Outdoor Pool
Kindly note that the outdoor pool at Gellert Spa & Thermal Bath—formerly the iconic wave pool featuring not only Budapest’s or Europe’s, but the world’s first artificial wave machine from 1927—has a gradually deepening design, ranging from shallow areas that may be suitable for younger visitors, to significantly deeper sections on the opposite end. – Temperature: 26°C, Water depth: 0.40 m – 2.75 m.
While the outdoor pool is typically open from the end of May through September, it may occasionally require maintenance on short notice. For this reason, we strongly recommend checking availability on the day of your visit, either at the entrance or with staff on site, as access to this pool cannot always be guaranteed.

Hi,
I booked a double harmony massage. Does it mean we can have the massages in the same room? (My boyfriend and I). I hope this is possible. I filled in a time. Will that be the exact time we need to be present?
Kind regards, Anouk
Dear Anouk,
thank you for your booking.
Yes, the double massages are held in the same room for the 2 guests.
We will soon send you the booked massage hours in a separate email. Please note that we kindly ask guests to arrive minimum 1 hour before the massage begins to be ready for the massage.
Hello, we will be staying at the Hotel in August, what will be the price of entering the baths during this period? Its not clear if we still have access as guests.
Many thanks
Hello Andrea,

I hope I xould be of help.
We are planning to sped a few days i Budapest and to visit the Gellert Baths. The problem is that we do not know the exact date, so we can not book in advance. It would be still possible to but tickets on the spot, upon our arrival to the baths desk? Thanks in advance.
Dear Amir,
thank you for your email.
yes, it is possible to pay by card at the cashier.
Have a great time in Gellert Spa.

Dear Takefumi,
thank you for your inquiry.
Unfortunately the online massage packages already include the bath entry.
In this case you can book your massages only on the spot. Thank you for your understanding.
Good morning. Thank you for quick response.
I understand what you say. But it’s something strange.
When I used your spa massage on 12th April 2017 (14:55) with my friend as hotel guest, you arranged us only massages treatments under the same condition as this time on Internet.
And I find this message on your website now.

“Please note that massage therapies are only for bath guests in Gellert Spa. Each massage needs to be accompanied by a bath ticket. If you already have a bath ticket, let us know, and we will arrange you a massage treatment only. Please contact info [at] gellertspa.com.”
I’m sorry that I write it down too much. If you need to contact me directly, please send a message to my hotmail address. Thank you.
Dear Takefumi,
thank you for drawing our attention to an out-of-date information. It has now been corrected.
Last November the massage booking system has changed, since then unfortunately it is not possible to book a massage online without a ticket. Thank you for your understanding.
Thank you.
I’ll book our massages at the desk of spa directly on Feb.
Sorry, it’s last question. When I book our massages at the desk of spa, is it possible to pay by credit card? Only cash?
Thank you
Dear Takefumi,
yes, it is possible to pay by card at the cashier.
We are planning to visit Sunday 14th Jan.
Please advise what time you are open and do I need to book in advance. Are there some areas not open or out of order. Please let me know asap.
Thank you
SADIE
Hello Sadhna,
it is possible to buy your tickets on the spot (open from 6am), but we suggest the online tickets (valid from 9am), so you can check in at our HelpDesk and skip the main queue at the cashiers.
Hope we can welcome you at Gellert Spa!
Hi
I’m staying at the Gellert hotel for 2 nights 15-16/1 and would like to book a joint massage at the baths during our stay , I believe we get entry into the baths as we are hotel guests ? But how do I book a massage without booking bath tickets as well ?
Dear Derek,
I am afraid that in this case you can only book your massage on the spot. Thank you for your understanding.
