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.

      This is to confirm that Gellert Bath is open over this weekend as usual, and we hope to welcome you as a guest. There are strict head count rules with regards to the number of Guests allowed to visit the spa (per government restrictions), as well as much stricter sterilising and hygiene protocol is in place to make sure that the thermal baths are open and operate safely.

      Enjoy your time in the thermal baths in Budapest!

      • I just received an email from my hotel that you will close because of corona virus . Is that true ? I already paid and made a booking with you for the 17th of March .
