Stay Close to the Splash
Whether you want a quiet garden vibe or to be steps from the slides, the city’s accommodation scene is built for families, spa-goers, and weekenders. One holiday house sits 400 meters from the beach entrance—about a 5-minute walk—with four separate upstairs apartments: two doubles, one for four, and one for five, open year-round. Guests love the peace of the garden district in Hajdúszoboszló’s resort area—perfect silence, perfect rest. Those coming for treatments can reach the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Bath (Béke Fürdő) in just minutes on foot.
There’s also a pension right by the airport, just 100 meters from the beach and 400 meters from the Aquapark and the new Extreme Slide Park. Next door you’ll find the Árpád Pool (Árpád uszoda) and the Hungarospa therapy building, where visitors can book various medical treatments as needed.
Family Apartments Near Everything
Alice Apartment (Alice Apartman) has been welcoming guests since 2010, set in a calm neighborhood close to the beach, thermal baths, and of course Aqua-Palace. Another apartment house is a five-minute stroll from the world-famous bath, tucked into a quiet, restful corner of the resort district. On Kölcsey and Major streets, newly built apartments sit just 100 and 200 meters from the beach gates; nearby you’ll find restaurants, a market, and multiple grocery options.
An apartment house in the heart of the country’s largest spa and beach complex opened in June 2009 and sits 200 meters from the beach and 150 meters from the bus station—quiet and convenient. One guesthouse is tucked into a dead-end street with zero through traffic and free courtyard parking; it offers a shared breakfast kitchen and welcomes guests all year. Another property sits right in the center of Hajdúszoboszló, a short walk from the thermal spa. For a dash of luxury, Evelin Apartment (Apartman Evelin) is about 200 meters from the bath and comes with its own on-site pool.
Eat Well Between Dips
Hajdúszoboszló’s dining scene is as inviting as its warm waters. A hotel and restaurant in eastern Hungary’s tourism triangle sits 300 meters from the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) entrance and 500 meters from the city center, in a place famous across Europe for therapeutic waters used in bathing and drinking cures.
Kemencés Inn (Kemencés Csárda) in Hajdúszoboszló brings tradition into the present. Inspired by the old roadside inns of the Great Hungarian Plain, the team preserves and reimagines those values for today, reflected in the menu and the cozy interior design. Across from the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő), Lorena Restaurant (Lorena Étterem) welcomes guests in romantic, elegant style, while Major Pension and Restaurant (Major Panzió és Étterem) places you in the spa zone’s quieter corner—an eight-minute walk from the winter entrance and two from the summer one.
If you’re here with friends, family, or colleagues, the revamped Mirage restaurant is ready with an exclusive new look, a mood-setting pálinka wall, a seasonal menu, and guest-first service. Another spot pairs an atmospheric restaurant with a patisserie, offering a broad drink list and 13 room types that work for business travelers, couples, families, and the young at heart. Rooms are styled with refined elegance and modern comforts; you can choose baths or showers across all categories.
No. 8 is a friendly restaurant in the spa district—great by day or night. Come with your family or friends and pick from classic favorites or standout grilled dishes. The unmissable summer and winter terrace runs from April through November, and the nearly 80-seat pergola is one of the city’s largest, serving cocktails and heartwarming drinks beyond the main menu. Just a minute from the Hungarospa Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) entrance, a nearby eatery’s autumn lineup includes a Great Plain–inspired caramel pancake with apple and walnut filling and a gingerbread latte among coffee specials. Take your pick of sweet and savory pancakes, lemonades, cocktails, specialty coffees, and artisanal ice creams.

A resort-zone hotel offers 107 rooms designed for families and kids, complete with its own spa and wellness area. Options include twin and triple rooms, 2+2 family apartments, a family room with two beds plus a bunk bed, and suites for luxury seekers.

Another pension lies just 50 meters from the bath in a calm, family atmosphere. It’s budget-friendly, with two double rooms and eight four-bed, French-bed rooms, each with a balcony, bathroom, TV, and fridge. There’s a generous continental breakfast in the restaurant and free, secure parking for guests arriving by car.
