The truth is that everything has been easy. From the purchase process, follow-up and communication. The thermal baths of Gellert we have fallen in love with super quiet and very complete. It transports you to the 19th century and you leave there refreshed. The boat is also a marvel, at 20.30 it is not yet night and it is the return when you start to see it all illuminated. The parliament is something magical, day and night.

Very good but not great. The baths are considered the most luxurious, but I think you have to understand by the: historical. The place is beautiful but needs major renovation. If you've forgotten your equipment, it's possible to buy it all on site. The cabins are very practical for leaving personal belongings. The pools are top-notch, especially the 40-degree pool. Beware, this is a mixed area. The outdoor pool was crowded. Good experience, but not exceptional. I'd recommend it!

Overall a very good experience and I plan to visit again when going to Budapest. Pool and thermal baths were exquisite, staff was nice and friendly. Weather was nice on Monday so we got to enjoy the outside caffe part of the space as well. Keep up the good work!

The building and the spa are really great. The architecture, the ambience, the pools. Overall it was very crowded, which firstly made it very noisy and secondly there was a lack of loungers to rest and relax. In addition, the outdoor pool was not open and the staff were simply unfriendly. A great pity. Important: Take a swimming cap with you or alternatively be prepared to buy one in the spa store at the entrance. Bathing caps must be worn in the swimming pool, not in the thermal pools!

We went to the Gellertbad with our family, i.e. 1 adult and 4 children aged 3, 11, 13 and 15. The architecture was wonderful, the baths were opened in early 1907. The entrance fee for everyone was €150, which I don't think is very cheap. You get wristbands at the entrance, which you can't use to pay for things like food and drinks in the baths. You are forced to take money or a phone with you. In the green pool you have to put on bathing caps, but you have to buy them for €5 each. A bit awkward with children. Too bad. Otherwise the pool is very nice. Boat tour: The boat tour with 4-course dinner is not suitable for children. And for adults-well. Although booked for 5, the meal had to be paid for separately for the 3-year-old. They had musical accompaniment (on the piano) when they got on the boat, which is basically quite nice, but if they can't even understand their own words during the entire stay and not even during dinner because it's so loud, then it's very unpleasant to say the least. You can only enjoy the tour to a limited extent. I would book a different tour next time.

We really liked the bathrooms and especially the cleanliness. Also note that although there were many people it was good and the only thing I did not like was that being a place of relaxation people do not respect it much and I think that either lack of security personnel inside or it escapes them a little. I totally recommend it.

The thermal pools are great, there are different pools with different temperatures. The main pool requires you to wear swincap, the others don't. The "cabin" is really just a cubicle ideal for a single person to change in - perfectly functional. The warm pools are quite relaxing and enjoyable.

Here’s a review you could use to rate your experience at Gellért Spa Bath in Budapest. Feel free to adjust the tone or content depending on where you're posting it: --- I had high expectations for my visit to Gellért Spa Bath, but unfortunately, it fell short in several areas. I was under the impression that there would be a guided tour or at least some kind of audio guide, but there was none, which made the experience feel less immersive and informative than I hoped. I also expected to spend more time there, but ended up leaving after just an hour or two. The outdoor pools were limited—only two were open—and one was extremely small and overcrowded. The larger indoor pool looked great, but swimming was only allowed if you had a swim cap, which I assumed was included in the ticket (I had purchased one with a private cabin and locker). Instead, I had to buy it separately, which felt frustrating and unnecessary. Staff were not particularly friendly or helpful. They mostly communicated with whistles and gave no clear explanations, which made the atmosphere feel more tense than relaxing. Overall, the building themselves are beautiful, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired—especially for the price.

We purchased the thermal bath/boat package. I will start by saying that both experiences are worth having in a wonderful city like Budapest. The thermal baths are a relaxing oasis in which to unwind (I even fell asleep a bit in the pools); the boat ride is also a beautiful experience. The only negative note is the control of the staff inside the boat itself. If there are seats you sit down or at any rate, if you want to be outside in the cooler, you make sure not to block the view of those who have decided to be inside. Either way, definitely do both experiences.

I booked online, at first of course I was a bit skeptical. Instead everything went very well. I was in Budapest during the June 2 bridge. The booking confirmation came directly to the email. From the app I downloaded the tickets. Punctual departure, 10 p.m. sailing. recommend bringing a sweatshirt or jacket. The view was very very nice

The tour, although it is only for the 4th floor, is very nice and gives us some history of the town and its main building. We had a hard time finding the guide but finally managed. You don't have to enter the lobby where you get tickets to enter the museum and palace but outside the palace itself, in the square just outside the revolving door on the city side, not the Danube side. Courteous Manuel and colleague to call us by phone. Eventually visit done!

The truth is that everything has been easy. From the purchase process, follow-up and communication. The thermal baths of Gellert we have fallen in love with super quiet and very complete. It transports you to the 19th century and you leave there refreshed. The boat is also a marvel, at 20.30 it is not yet night and it is the return when you start to see it all illuminated. The parliament is something magical, day and night.

Very good but not great. The baths are considered the most luxurious, but I think you have to understand by the: historical. The place is beautiful but needs major renovation. If you've forgotten your equipment, it's possible to buy it all on site. The cabins are very practical for leaving personal belongings. The pools are top-notch, especially the 40-degree pool. Beware, this is a mixed area. The outdoor pool was crowded. Good experience, but not exceptional. I'd recommend it!

We followed a guard with the audio guide for the French translation. The text gives all the details of the rooms we pass through, but is concise enough not to lose the viewer. From the staircase to the press room, where all the trades are represented thanks to the statuettes that adorn the top of the walls, from the corridors to the hemicycle room where the European representatives sit, the Parliament is Hungary's real treasure.

The building and the spa are really great. The architecture, the ambience, the pools. Overall it was very crowded, which firstly made it very noisy and secondly there was a lack of loungers to rest and relax. In addition, the outdoor pool was not open and the staff were simply unfriendly. A great pity. Important: Take a swimming cap with you or alternatively be prepared to buy one in the spa store at the entrance. Bathing caps must be worn in the swimming pool, not in the thermal pools!
