Beautiful bath. Bring your own shower cap or you'll be asked to buy one to enter in the main pool. Balneario muy bonito, llévate el gorro de la ducha del hotel para no tener q comprar uno

Open pool +36C even in winter -10C. Sauna and ice tub nearby. Great thermal baths: from +19C to +44C. Take care of your heart! Nice interior, but difficult navigation.

Never felt so clean! To enjoy all the pools don’t forget to bring a towel and a swimming cap (obligatory in one pool). You can buy a cap and slippers (1000 and 800 ft) on the desk and rent a towel too

An Art Nouveau masterpiece: stained-glass windows, colorful mosaics, and elegant statues. Better for people of older age-group, although all ages will enjoy the building. Try a hot-stone massage here.

Gorgeous interiors for the main swimming pool and the thermal baths. Each bath has a different temperature so try more than one. FYI: VIP massage is nude.

Beautiful environment. Bring slippers and bathrobe. I would also suggest to come early (6-9) when it is not to crowded.

It’s a historic thermal bath built by Ottomans during their reign. Such a cool place and so healthy and relaxing. It’s little dated but if you are in the area, check it out.

For a first timer in a bath, not bad at all. Crowded during the weekend but to be expected. The steam room & 40 degree pool are amazing. Don't forget to enjoy beautiful architecture before going in.

Bit confusing to get into. If you don't buy a "cabin" then changing is in a same sex open room. Baths lovely. Sauna and cold tub. Massage thorough and good. Overall good.
Sarah FirthAugust 1, 2014
Grab a map and find the internal side thermal baths and steam rooms. Don't forget your thongs! Very busy and the staff are hopeless but still worth it!
András Sevcsik-ZajáczMay 8, 2016
Arguably the most beautiful spa in Budapest. It has spectacular interiors and there's also an outdoor thermal pool with a sauna. Clean and well equipped.
Barbora HudecovaDecember 3, 2017
Bring your own towel and slippers, enjoy lovely warm water and relax 😊 Not cheap, but worth it
Vsevolod BorisovApril 4, 2017
Nice to start with if you're interested in hungarian bath. Try every pool to feel the difference. Steam cabin is good as well.

Worth every cent paid. In love with outdoor 90 celcius souna ❤ & outdoor pools. Building inside is very beautiful & thermal pools are the best. It is like heaven on earth 😊
stephanie katicJanuary 26, 2013
Loved this spa. Too bad it has no warmed outside pool in the winter, but still very much worth while. Bring enough cash if u did't bring towels (deposit is 4000huf/towel). Aroma massage is also great.
Katja M.December 30, 2015
Don't buy swimming cap if you plan to visit just thermo baths. Go try outside pool on the roof, it's awesome at cold winter.
Daniel BAugust 18, 2018
Historic baths with fun outdoor lounge area and pool with wave machine. Would Have liked some more silent areas and greater variation of temperatures in the pools and saunas.
KyzeJanuary 27, 2015
There aren't a lot of pools, but the experience is worth it. The building is amazing. Can be confusing to visit. Cabins can be shared by two people. No caps needed for most pools.
Alla FloreoMay 30, 2017
The most beautiful baths with nice thermal pools, but more expensive than others baths. For one visit it's really nice, but no more.
Karolina KellyAugust 18, 2016
Amazing place! Outdoor and indoor pools with nice historical features.
Anna TrifonidouApril 21, 2015
A very nice experience. The thermal pools are amazing. But bring your own towels, swimming suits or they we ll charge you enormous amount of money. . Ticket with locker is 4800ft.
Dalibor DzurillaOctober 23, 2015
Go upstairs above main swimmingpool. You can find hairdriers spot. Continue by stairs you will find expensive restaurant but also very calm and free camp-beds for resting.
Maite C.S.June 5, 2015
Buy your tickets online at http://gellertspa.com/ to avoid the ticket office queue (only tickets with private cabin). Check the bath's map at http://m.gellertbath.hu/ so you don't miss any pool! :-)
Carl GriffinDecember 31, 2015
Wonderfully elaborate interior. Can spend hours relaxing here in the warm waters.
Marta MagniNovember 8, 2014
The worst therme where I have ever been! Dirty & disorganized.People drinking beer in the swimming pool! Rude and not helpfull staff. Half of the pools were not working but we paid the full price!
Tim HarrisonSeptember 1, 2017
Wonderful bath complex with a wave pool! The steam rooms in particular are worth the price of admission.
András Sevcsik-ZajáczJune 13, 2017
A magical oasis in the middle of the city. Beautiful setting, great service.
SNovember 28, 2017
Totally rad and totally worth going.
Vasek S.May 4, 2015
Hard to find free locker and very easy to get lost, but SPA is really so beautiful and I recommend outside pool at the evening
Vincent VelemaSeptember 3, 2013
Employees are rude, massage is not very comfy, go elsewhere less touristy for a good massage and finally of you do go, bring a swimming cap you need one to go into the inside swimmingpool.
Linda T.January 5, 2016
Love the welcoming and smiling receptionist at the hotel spa entrance :)
Anna TziotiJanuary 4, 2017
SPA for me means a personnal pampering. It was too crowed and noisy. IT is not luxery as it is advertised. The outside swimming pool is definetly a good experience. do not miss it.
Aaron ThomasFebruary 25, 2019
Tile work is legit. Plenty of water to go around
Slavka PristasovaNovember 3, 2013
Very nice, but you better bring a swimming cap and towel (possible to buy there). Take enough cash (HUF) for the refreshment - cards accepted only at the entrance. Free parking, no free WiFi
Gus MoreiraOctober 23, 2014
Probably the best thermal pools in Budapest. Don't forget to go to the outside pool to enjoy the evening!
Γιάννης ΑνδριανάκηςDecember 12, 2015
Just overestimated. We took the private bath for two and it was just a bath with hot water inside... Very old, dirty and with an awful smell.
Emily LNovember 10, 2014
Went on a Saturday, it was quite crowded but not unbearably so. Lovely art deco style, felt decadent but also down to earth at the same time.
Jennifer HardiJanuary 26, 2016
Not as big as szechenyi and only one section of the thermal baths in Art Deco style. Waves outdoor pool closed during winter 😞
Tomomi IApril 23, 2014
It is difficult to figure out where to go for the first time. You just walk around everywhere and get lost a few times before being relaxed at spa. (To be honest it wasn't quite relaxing experience)
AnneMApril 5, 2015
Love the spa area! Massage wasn't bad either. Just make sure you make reservation advance
Who WhyAugust 25, 2013
It's been appr 50% of visits when Gellert was saving electricity, therefore saunas are not functional. All of them, all day. This is practiced in all seasons, price stays same, no warnings at entrance
Andrew DunsmureJuly 30, 2015
Beautiful architecture and lovely thermal pools. Make sure you go outside and enjoy the waves!
Victor ShchenkhJanuary 2, 2019
Very nice thermal bath but you need to come early or late when it’s not too crowded.
Maria MpellouNovember 15, 2019
Awesome architecture,spectacular pools and friendly staff.you can also enjoy the massage services
Genner EscalanteFebruary 27, 2017
Nice architecture, but a bit of a maze inside with no clear directions. A bit dingy inside with low lighting but not in a good way.
We Love BudapestOctober 8, 2012
Gellért Bath provides separate male and female baths, indoor pools, a huge outdoor pool, relaxing possibilities, and medical treatments.
Mark StoneOctober 14, 2012
Confused with the lockers- they are NFC. When ready, use the round part of the wristband you are given to push in the grey knob until it stays in. Also bring a towel and shower hat
Alex GrollemanOctober 14, 2017
Don't forget to bring a towel! (And a bathing cap if you wanna swim in the instagram-pool)
IzoldaOctober 7, 2012
Swimming cap is needed for the inner swimming pool, but not for the spa. Buy one at the cashier. / Furdosapka koteleyo a benti uszomedencehez. A melegvizesekhez nem. Vegyel a kasszanal.
SvetaSeptember 22, 2015
Been here 5+ times
Make sure to explore all of it. It's a maze of corridors, I know, but do yourself a favor and explore it.
