Massage for pregnant women
Unfortunately, no thermal bath in Budapest offers pregnancy massage in the baths to avoid any potential medical complications. Even if you are in absolutely perfect health condition with your baby, the bath management cannot take the risk of unexpected complications / urgent resolutions to keep you and your baby safe from harm. We are sorry that we cannot spoil you when you would deserve the most.
In a similar vein, there are several pools in the baths which contain hot water (between 33 and 40 degrees Celsius, the upper end of which, is not recommended for pregnant mothers.
In short, massage treatment is not available for pregnant moms in Gellert Spa.
Hot thermal water is not suitable for pregnant moms.
During pregnancy please keep consulting with your doctor whenever you intend to visit public baths, shared pools. Pregnant women are kindly asked to consult with their doctor /OBGYN if they can bathe in the thermal waters in Budapest too, and what – if any – precautions they need to make before entering the pools.
All visits to the baths and its facilities are at the responsibility of visitors, including pregnant mothers. We apologise for any potential inconvenience. You will find that some private spas do offer pregnancy treatments in Budapest, even if not the major thermal baths.
I’m looking to do the private baths AND massages with my boyfriend. Is there a way to book all that together? If we do the private baths, will we still have access to the other thermal pools?
Thanks!
Dear Shana
thank you for your email.
I am afraid, the Private Bath package does not include entry to the public facilities including the public pools. If you wish to enter all of the area of Gellert Spa, please book tickets / massage treatments separately from the Private bath reservation.

I hope I could be of help.
Thank you for answering that. I have a second question.
If I choose:
“DOUBLE Royal Thermal Massage 60 min & 2 GS Tickets & 2 Cabins”
Does that mean I am booking the massage for two people? Can we use the cabin to store our personal belongings for the duration of our stay while we’re in the public pools?
Dear Shana,
yes if you choose the double packages you get a double massage for 2 guests in the same room and 2 entry tickets with 2 cabins, where you can get changed and store your belongings.
The door of the cabin has a unique chip code lock, which opens and closes with a special waterproof bracelet: in fact, with the chip incorporated in the wristband bath entry provided at the bath. Please make sure that your door is locked with the silicon wristband before leaving the cabin. As you are wearing the band all the times, it is quite secure if you make sure that the door is not left open.
Please let me know if I can be of further help.
Hi
I have no email with the massage times for my booking.
Please let me know
Thanks
Amelia
Hello Amelia,
we have asked our colleagues to get in touch with you.
Enjoy your stay in Budapest!
Hi I had a question about dress code for massages as it states that swim wear must be worn at all times. I only have a full body costume so wondered how that works, or if I’d have to get something more like a bikini?
Thanks
Dear Sarah,
one piece swimming suits are also accepted, however full body suits (such as burkinis) are unfortunately not allowed. Thank you for your understanding.
Hi me and my girlfriend are planning on boooking a couple massage.
I have swimming trunks, however she only has a one-piece swimming costume, that covers the back, probably getting in the way of the massage.
Could you please give the details on the massage so we know what we’re getting into before we book.
Hello Aeron,
ladies can enjoy the massages in a swimming costume or bikini, the back area must be uncovered while the masseuse treats the shoulder and back (she will lie on her tummy, so she can keep the swimming costume on, but partially removed).
I hope I could help!
Enjoy your stay in Budapest!
Hi,
I would like to book a Thermal Massage 20 minutes & Bath Ticket & Cabin: €45 or a 45m Royal Thermal Massage & GB Ticket & Cabin: €76,50.
Can I know the difference between them? are both total body massage? what it the difference between Bath ticket and GB Ticket?
Are you open also every Sundays in September?
how long is it possible to stay in the swimming pool?
Thank you in advance for your info,
Best regards,
Giulia
Dear Giulia,
the 20min treatment includes massage of the neck/shoulder/back area, while the 45 and 60 min massages are full body massages.
Bath ticket and GB ticket is the same, as GB simply means Gellert Baths.
Yes, the Spa is open every day throughout the year (including Sunday and holidays).
Tickets are valid for the whole day, between 9am and 8pm.
Hello, is it possible to book 20-minutes aroma massage and a foot massage? I’d like to have one after another, but if the bath ticket is already included in one treatment, how can I book an additional one, without having to pay again for the bath ticket?
Hello Lana,
thank you for your email.
You need to make 2 separate bookings. When you booked a massage for you, please contact us and we will send you the link where you can order another massage without buying another spa entry ticket.
http://gellertspa.com/gellert-bath-massage
I hope I could be of help.
thank you! and is it possible to ask for a female massage therapist when booking?
Dear Lana,
yes, it is possible to add your preference in the comment section, but please note that we cannot 100% guarantee it.
