Hello,
Can you come for a massage only without bathing? Thank you!

Hi I already booked the bath kit,fast track entry, gs cabin and taxi pass. How do I book a massage and mud bath without buying another bath ticket and cabin please
Hello Stef,
we’ve just sent you an email answering your question. It is possible to upgrade to further services (normally we send a so called ticket holder massage form so that you can book an appointment for massage if you already have a bath ticket). Hope it helps.
We wish you a wonderful spa experience in Budapest!
can i book at mud treatment and is some medical exam needed first and if so what does it cost
Dear Fiona,
No medical examination is needed for a mud treatment as it is a general massage and beauty therapy. Should you have any questions or concerns about the medical aspects of the mud treatment and its potential after effects, or any ailments that might make the therapy a doubtful spa treatment, please consult your health advisor.
We hope you will have a great experience in Budapest and its thermal baths.
