Where to Stay: Quiet Corners and Spa-Side Comfort

If you want to be close to the steam and slides without the crowds, a holiday house just 1,312 feet (about a 5-minute walk) from the beach area might be your match. It’s divided into four separate upstairs apartments: two doubles, one for four people, and one for five, open year-round. Guests choose it for the tranquility—this is in the garden district of the resort zone, where perfect silence is the selling point. If you’re here to heal, the Medical Bath (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Baths (Béke Fürdő) are just minutes away on foot.

Prefer the action? A central pension sits by the airport, 328 feet from the beach, and 1,312 feet from both the Aquapark and the new Extreme Slide Park. The Árpád swimming pool and Hungarospa therapy building are neighbors, so anyone needing treatments can book a suite of options right next door.

Alice Apartment (Alice Apartman) opened in 2010 with a homey vibe in a quiet setting near the beach, thermal baths, and of course Aqua-Palace. Another apartment house in the resort quarter is only an easy 5-minute stroll from the world-famous baths, tucked into peaceful streets. If proximity is everything, new-build units on Kölcsey and Major Streets are 328 feet and 656 feet from the beach entrance respectively, with restaurants, a market, and grocery stores close by.

There’s also an apartment house opened in June 2009 in the heart of the resort zone surrounding the country’s largest medical and beach bath complex—656 feet from the beach and just 492 feet from the bus station. For utter calm, try a guesthouse at the end of a cul-de-sac with no through traffic, free on-site courtyard parking, and a shared breakfast kitchen. Many places here run all year, because the healing waters never go out of season.

If you like staying in the middle of things, several accommodations sit right in Hajdúszoboszló’s center, a short walk to the medical bath. One standout, Apartment Evelin (Apartman Evelin), brings the luxe: a comfortable, fully equipped apartment just 656 feet from the baths, with its own pool in the courtyard.

Hotels With Wellness—and Space for Families

A large family- and kid-friendly hotel with 107 rooms anchors the resort district, with its own medical and wellness wing. Room types range from classic doubles and triples to 2+2 family apartments, family rooms with bunk beds, and luxe suites. Expect color TVs, minibars, phones, in-room safes, and many units with air conditioning and balconies. All rooms come with a bathroom and WC. It’s set up for the exact kind of multigenerational trip these waters attract.

Another hotel-restaurant sits neatly in Eastern Hungary’s tourism triangle—Hajdúszoboszló at its center. The city’s mineral-rich water is renowned across Europe, prescribed both as bath cures and drinking cures. This hotel is just 984 feet from the Medical Bath (Gyógyfürdő) entrance and about 1,640 feet from downtown, making it easy to drift between treatments and dinner.

Eat Well: Tradition, Romance, and Big Terraces

Food here leans hearty, local, and imaginative. Kemencés Csárda keeps the spirit of the old roadside inns alive—those early outposts on the Great Hungarian Plain—reimagined for modern tastes. The menu and interiors are built around that heritage, nodding to the past without getting stuck there.

Right across from the Medical Bath (Gyógyfürdő), Lorena Restaurant (Lorena Étterem) mixes romance and elegance in a popular hospitality complex. Major Pension and Restaurant (Major Panzió és Étterem)—and its apartments—sit in the spa district’s calmer side: an easy 8-minute walk from the winter entrance and just 2 minutes from the summer gates. For something refreshed, Mirage Restaurant invites families, friends, and business partners to its fully renovated, polished setting, with a seasonal menu, a charming pálinka wall, and guest-first service.

The No. 8 Restaurant (Nr. 8 Étterem) is an easygoing pick in the spa zone. Come daytime or evening, with family or friends, for classic or special grill dishes. The terrace is the showpiece—both summer and winter versions—open from April through late November. The nearly 80-seat pergola is one of the city’s largest, great for cocktails and warming sips after a promenade.

If your sweet tooth calls, there’s a spot just a minute from the Hungarospa Medical Bath entrance serving savory and sweet crepes, craft ice creams, and specialty lemonades, cocktails, and coffees. For a homier stay 164 feet from the baths, a cozy pension offers 2 double rooms and eight 4-bed, uniquely styled double-bed rooms with big balconies, bathrooms, TVs, and fridges. A generous continental breakfast awaits in the restaurant, and there’s free secured parking for drivers.

Plan It: Dates, Details, and the Small Print

Miki Mini Parties run every Saturday at 2 p.m. at Aqua-Palace’s Kids’ World level, with January dates set for the 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st in Hajdúszoboszló. The organizers reserve the right to modify times and programs, so double-check before you set off. Whether you’re here for the waters, the slides, or the sugar-dusted crepes, the family energy is real—and it lasts all year.

Pros
+
Super family-friendly: weekly kid-focused Miki Mini Parties with games and animation right inside the Aqua-Palace Kids’ World
+
Year-round schedule on Saturdays at 2 p.m., so it’s easy to plan around even in winter
+
Hungarospa/Hajdúszoboszló is Hungary’s most famous spa town, so the theme (thermal baths + water fun) is well-known in Europe and increasingly to international visitors
+
Tons of nearby lodging from budget apartments to family hotels with wellness wings—many within a 5–10 minute walk
+
Easy to combine fun and wellness: aquapark slides plus renowned medical/thermal treatments in one compact area
+
Car-friendly and public-transport friendly: properties near the bus station, on-site parking common, and everything clustered around the baths
+
Good value compared with similar waterpark-spa combos in Western Europe or U.S. resort towns, with hearty local dining options nearby - Hajdúszoboszló isn’t a household name for many U.S. travelers, so it may require extra research vs. Prague/Budapest/Paris
Cons
Hungarian language skills help for smaller venues and signage; staff often manage in English, but don’t expect universal fluency
Reaching it takes an extra leg beyond Budapest (train/bus/car to eastern Hungary), so not as seamless as big-city attractions
Program times can change; needing to re-check schedules adds a small planning headache
