Gellert thermal pools, swimming pool, wave 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.

    Hi, I only received the payment receipt from Paypal but there’s no confirmation email from you guys? Could you send me an email to confirm my booking?

    • Dear Eliza,
      thank you for your comment. We have resent your confirmation email, please check your spam/junk folder too.
      Enjoy your baths!

  3. Dear,
    We would like to visit the spa tomorrow. As this will be our last day in Budepest, can we Bring oor small cabin suitcase with us, can we put this in a locker or something?

    • Dear Marloes,
      thank you for your comment. Cabins are like changing rooms (but smaller ones) combined with storage facilities. In a cabin, you can change privately and store your belongings in a safe place. The door of the locker/cabin has a unique chip code lock, which opens and closes with a special waterproof bracelet: in fact, your digital ticket will be replaced with a waterproof wristband, which incorporates the chip for the locker/cabin.
      Enjoy your time in Budapest.

  4. I would like to book a Thai massage for this Wednesday 14th August . I have already booked spa day tickets for me and my family and I can see no way of booking just a massage on the website – it requires that I book for the spa as well. Please could you give me a contact number for booking. Thank you.

    • Dear Jo,
      thank you for your inquiry.
      Massages can only be added to online purchased tickets (booked on this same website). Unfortunately we could not find any valid ticket bookings in our system under your name.
      If you booked under a different name, please contact us via email at info [at] gellertspa.com

  5. I am going to Budapest with my 2.5 year old and 5 month old in October – are they allowed use the baths?

    Thanks

    • Dear Roisin,
      thank you for your inquiry. Babies who are not potty trained are not allowed in the pools in Gellert Spa, even if they are wearing a swimming nappy. It mostly applies to children under the age of 3. Babies and toddlers can come with the family to the Spa but need to stay outside the pool area with somebody.
      Unfortunately, only adult tickets are available to be purchased for kids too (entry is free for under 2-year-olds, but they cannot use the baths). Please note that most of the pools and baths (both outdoor and indoor) at Gellert Spa are more than 33 degrees Celsius, resulting in increased stress for the cardiovascular system of children. Their bodies are not fully developed yet to be able to cope with the warm waters perfectly.

      Enjoy your time in Budapest.
