Accessible

The thermal pool in the female only section can be accessed by wheelchair (directly from the main hall, without any raised areas or stairs that would hinder the way) the pool lift is currently not available.
The garden and outdoor areas are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible at the moment, but the baths are working on turning Gellert Spa into a truly accessible bath complex in the future. Thank you for your continued patience.
Please see a video about visiting with a wheelchair on this link.
Currently, there are two Budapest thermal baths ready to accept wheelchair users, with accessible routes and entries and pool elevator lifts.
These two thermal spas are perhaps lesser known but excellent choices. Paskal Thermal Bath is in the green Zuglo district of Budapest with low-ramp public buses (or you can hire a private wheelchair-accessible transfer to the baths).
The driving distance is estimated at approx. 25 min from Deak Square, the heart of the city. Pesterzsebeti Thermal Bath is also away from Budapest city centre in the southern zone of the city, in Csepel District (approx. 20 min ride by taxi / private transport). Before making a visit, to avoid any unpleasant surprises, kindly make sure to inquire about the updates regarding the state of the lift as occasionally they may be out of order.

  1. Good morning,

    I would like to know more about inhaling therapy. I have chronic allergy and also sore throat due to reflux, hence I would like to know if you have any inhaliong therapy for this. I am planning to visit Budapest for around 1 week in July between 7 and 15 July, how to book the treatment? Please let me know.

    Do you recommend any good hotel to book in that period?

    • Dear Andrea,

      thank you for your email.

      I am sorry, but inhaling therapies cannot be booked online, only at the spot of the spa.

      Should you wish to stay nearby, I would suggest Hotel Gellert.

      I am sorry I could not be of more help this time.

  2. Hello! My husband and I are planning to book Double Harmony massages and tickets on June 9, Saturday. (Unfortunately there does not appear to be any Couples Royal Thermal package listed.) I prefer a gentle massage, but my husband prefers stronger deep-tissue massage and a female masseuse. Will this be possible? Thank you! Selina

    • Hello Selina,
      in that case please book 1x thermal and 1x harmony massage and leave a comment in the comment field that you would like to have it together in the same room.
      Enjoy your stay in Budapest!

  3. Can i please have a contact email to re-quest group entrances. Thanks,
    Ana

  4. We visited the Spa last year and had a wonderful time. My friend bought some of the facial treatments and she loved them. I understand that they cannot be shipped to the United States but my daughter lives in Wien. Can facial mud be shipped to Wien? Thank you. Will be there again in January.

  5. Hi,
    I’ve just booked a spa ticket but think I have enter the wrong (incorrect spelling) email address to send the email tickets to – thus have not received them.

    The booking is for 2 adults on the 22nd of July totalling 44 euros.

    Can I please have an email or contact, or directly sent to my email provided, to get the tickets re-sent. Thank you.

  6. Hi I am looking to come tot he Spa in December and was considering the foot massage but notice that the Aroma Massage is put as relaxing not deep tissue. can you confirm that there is no digging in with this massage and what part of the body is covered? Last massage i had left me bruised on my back and unable to move.

    Also can you confirm how much you sell shower caps for (and if you sell bathrobes)

    Thanks

    • Dear Hollie,
      thank you for your inquiry.
      Yes, the Aroma massage is a gentle treatment, more like stroking than a strong massage. This 20min massage treats only the upper body (back, shoulders, neck areas), so the lower part of your body will be covered.
      Swimming caps can be purchased for HUF 1,000, and bathrobes can be rented for HUF 2,500 (+ a deposit HUF 5,000).

      • Thanks, this is very helpful. how do i book more than one treatment? I am also booking for me and my mum

      • Please ‘walk me thru’ the process regarding ‘tickets’, I have no idea what that refers to?? I’m attempting to book a 90 minute Thai Herbal massage, but don’t see the correct steps of that process. The online booking isn’t cooperating?? please assist… (I will be booked at the Hotel on 10/31/2018.
