Stays: From Dorms to Thermal Hotels
Looking to linger? Options abound, from simple group lodgings to boutique and thermal stays.
A 54-bed dormitory spans two floors with 16 rooms configured with 2, 3, and 4 beds. It’s suited to students and groups needing practical accommodation with straightforward rooming.
Hárs Thermal Hotel offers 25 pine-furnished rooms with bathrooms, TVs, and phones in 2- and 3-bed setups. Up to 60 guests can unwind with thermal-water jacuzzi and hydromassage pools, a sauna, a drink bar, and a billiards room, all within minutes of the city center and the Liget Thermal Bath (Liget Gyógyfürdő).
Körös Panzió sits in central Gyomaendrőd, a few hundred meters from the Liget Spa and Beach Bath, around 160 km from Budapest. It caters to solo travelers, business groups, families, and tour groups, with a location that makes both exhibition visits and spa time a breeze.
In Erzsébet Grove (Erzsébet Liget), embraced by the Körös rivers, Pavilon Panzió offers eight fully renovated double, en-suite units, a landscaped garden, and gated parking. After refurbishment the guesthouse earned a three-star rating, and it’s right in the city’s green heart.
Three kilometers from town, an exclusive pension set in a nearly two-hectare park occupies a 16,145-square-foot building transformed into a guesthouse after a complete 2006 rebuild. Framed by silver firs, it’s a quiet pick for anyone craving a reset between gallery-hopping and riverside downtime.
Riverside Camps, Cabins, and a Fisher’s Hideaway
If nature calls, head for the Hármas-Körös side. Just 100 meters from the Liget bath, a camp offers 11 heated wooden cabins for eight people each, plus tent pitches. It’s accessible, set on the city’s edge between the Liget baths and the Hármas-Körös in a shaded acacia grove—ideal for school groups, friends, anglers, and hikers seeking a budget-friendly base.
Pájer Camping and Beach rests on a backwater of the Körös River in northern Békés County, guarding its peace and closeness to nature. Their promise is simple: even calm comes here to relax.
Mezei Fishing Lodge sits one kilometer outside Gyomaendrőd on the bank of the Soczó-zug backwater, serving up an exciting waterfront setting for guests who prefer dawn casts over late hotel checkouts.
Prefer your own space? A renovated, climate-controlled suburban apartment right off the Main Road fits up to six guests. It has two separate rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a separate bathroom and WC, and central heating—an easy, self-catered hub for exhibition weekends.
Eat, Drink, Play
Local flavor runs the show on the dining front. One restaurant delivers regional specialties and standout fish dishes while also firing up steaks and Bavarian classics. It doubles as a playhouse: inside the air-conditioned building you’ll find a two-lane automatic bowling alley, both traditional and pool billiards, plus a foosball table—ideal for post-opening fun.
Another cozy restaurant sits on a quiet street just off the main square, a three-minute stroll from the spa. Here, local favorites and fish dishes headline in a laid-back setting made for long lunches after river walks.
There’s also a combined pension and restaurant a three-minute walk from the spa and roughly 500 meters from Route 46, blending smart access with a menu of hometown hits and freshwater fish plates—good fuel before or after gallery hours.
Before You Go
All exhibitions are scheduled on Saturdays at the OMart Bookshop and Cultural Workshop in Gyomaendrőd, with the city’s accommodation and dining scene clustered around the Liget baths and the Körös backwaters. The organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs. Plan the trip, book early if you’re eyeing peak weekends, and leave room for a detour to the thermal pools.
