Hajdúszoboszló is gearing up to ring out the old year with a full slate of New Year’s Eve programs on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, spread across multiple venues in the 4200 postcode area. The city’s signature Szilveszteri Csergetés sets the tone: a lively year-end clamor and community celebration in the spa town that wears its bathing culture on its sleeve. Whether you’re here for thermal bliss, a wellness recharge, or a festive night out, everything clusters within easy strolls of the famed Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Hungarospa, so you can bounce between events, bites, and beds without breaking a sweat.
Where to stay
Options run deep and close. Just 400 yards from the beach bath complex, a quiet garden-district guesthouse offers four separate upstairs apartments: two doubles, a four-person, and a five-person unit, welcoming guests year-round. It’s a favorite of those craving silence, yet the Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Bath (Béke fürdő) are only a few minutes’ walk away.
Near the airport and only 110 yards from the beach, a conveniently placed pension puts you within 440 yards of the Aquapark and the new Extreme Slide Park, with the Árpád Pool (Árpád uszoda) and the Hungarospa therapy building practically next door for anyone seeking medical treatments.
Alice Apartment (Alice Apartman) opened in 2010 and sits in a calm, family-friendly pocket close to the beach, thermal baths, and Aqua-Palace. Another apartment house in the resort quarter is a five-minute, easy stroll from the world-famous baths, tucked in a peaceful setting.
On Kölcsey and Major streets, newly built apartments sit a mere 110 and 220 yards from the beach entrances, with restaurants, a market, and grocery stores nearby. An apartment house opened in June 2009 is 220 yards from the beach and 165 yards from the bus station, set in a quiet corner of the spa-centered resort zone.
Prefer extra calm? A guesthouse on a dead-end street ensures zero through traffic. Parking is free in the yard, and there’s a shared breakfast kitchen. Another lodging option is right in the heart of Hajdúszoboszló, a few minutes’ walk from the Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő). Evelin Apartment ramps it up with a luxury setup roughly 220 yards from the baths and a private pool waiting in the courtyard.
Families and groups can also check into a 107-room hotel in the resort area, complete with its own medical and wellness wing. Room types include doubles, triples, family apartments for 2+2, family rooms with bunk beds, and suites for luxe-seekers. Many rooms add balconies and air conditioning, and all come with bathroom, WC, minibar, phone, safe, and color TV. There’s also a cozy pension just 55 yards from the baths, with two double rooms and eight quad rooms, each stylish with French beds, balconies, bathrooms, TVs, and fridges. Continental breakfasts are generous, and a closed, free car park is available year-round.
What to eat and drink
Tradition gets a modern wink at Kemencés Inn (Kemencés Csárda), where the spirit of old roadside inns returns with today’s tastes. The menu and interiors showcase Great Plain (Alföld) heritage while playing to current cravings. Across from the Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő), the Lorena Restaurant brings a romantic, elegant vibe to one of the city’s most popular dining spots.
Major Pension and Restaurant (Major Panzió és Étterem) and its apartments sit in the spa zone yet in a quieter patch: eight minutes’ walk from the winter entrance and two from the summer entrance of the thermal complex. The refreshed Mirage restaurant invites families, friends, and business partners to its polished space, complete with a moody pálinka wall, a seasonal menu, and service that centers guests.
There’s also a boutique-like inn with an atmospheric restaurant and patisserie, broad drink lists, and 13 room types tailored to business travelers, couples, families with children, and the forever young. Elegance leads the design, with rooms offering both bathtub and shower options across the categories.
No. 8 is a relaxed go-to in the spa zone, open day and night, with a family-friendly grill menu and one of the city’s largest covered garden pavilions. The summer and winter terrace runs from April to the end of November, and cocktails and warming sips make it a solid stop on any evening stroll. For sweet and quick bites just a minute from the Hungarospa entrance, a snug spot serves savory and sweet crêpes alongside lemonade twists, craft coffees and cocktails, and handcrafted ice creams.
