Have a nice time in Gellert Spa and Budapest.
I was in Gellart Bath in 29 august and I met a blonde hair photographer in the hairdryer room. He take me a picture really beautiful and I’d like to know how to have this pic.
Dear Nadie,
was this photographer the employee of the Spa? Unless this person works at Gellert Spa, we cannot help to find him, sorry.
I plan to come for the baths and massage in November. Is it best to use the baths before the massage and if so, what time would I need to allow before the massage appointment?
Dear Lynne,
using the pools before the massage is all the more recommended as it relaxes the muscles, and increases the efficiency of the treatment.
The recommended bathing time is approximately 20-30 minutes, after that time you can just walk to the massage and relax.
On top of that, please note, each massage guest is kindly asked to check in 1 hour prior to the massage appointment so that he/she can be ready in swimwear by the time the massage hour begins.
In short, we usually suggest coming to the baths 2-3 hours before the massage begins.
Have a wonderful time in the bath!
