Hi I am booked to stay in the Gellert Hotel 4 March – 7 March 2018. I believe I have bath entry with the room booking. How would I be able to book a massage service in advance?
Thank you
Cobi
Dear Cobi,
unfortunately the massages can only be booked together with the bath ticket, therefore in this case you can book your massages at the cashier only. Thank you for your understanding.
Hello I am trying to book a double Hungarian Mud massage on the 14/5 but I am unable to find this option when booking?
Hello Jessica,

Looking forward to your reservation.
Hello
We are planing to visit between 22nd and 25 April this year. Please could you let me know if any part of the pools or services be unavailable due to planned maintenance?
And could you kindly confirm that the access to the outdoor sitting pool is included in standard day ticket .?
Thanks
Karan
Dear Karan,
there are no scheduled maintenance at the moment.
Yes, the bath entry includes access to all pools and facilities in Gellert Spa.
Hi, I have booked for the Double Hungarian Mud treatment for my wife and I for Monday 09 April but have not had any confirmation email, I have a paypal receipt however but no email confirmation of times or entry details etc. Please can you tell me when I will receive this?
Regards
David

thank you for choosing us.
I would like to confirm that we have received your booking and the auto confirmation has been sent to your given email address.
Now I have re-sent the confirmation from our backup email address to make sure you will receive it. Please check your spam folder too.
Could you please let us know if you have received it this time?
Got it now , thank you
Hi do I need a cabin or a locker ticket to store my things? What’s the difference?
Dear Christina,
yes, tickets are available either with locker or cabin.
Both lockers and cabins are for storing your belongings while you are enjoying the baths. Lockers are standard wardrobe type boxes with a lock on them (like the ones at train stations or at standard swimming pools). The size of the locker is 120x30x65 cm (1200 x 300 x 650 mm).
Cabins, on the other hand, are smallish changing rooms combined with storage facilities. In a bath cabin, you can get changed privately AND store your items in a safe place.
We will arrive on the 17th of February at Gellert Hotel;
my questions:
– do we have a free entrance to the bath
– opening times for hotel guests please
– are the outdoor pools open in the winter season?
Expecting your answer.
Dear Thomas,
thank you for your inquiry.
Regarding free entrance, please contact the reception of the hotel.
Opening hours of Gellert Spa: 6am to 8pm every day.
The outdoor pools are unfortunately closed in the winter season.
