ハンゲスト・セゲド - フォラシ元(Hunguest Szeged - ex Forras)

The buffet spread for breakfast and dinner was excellent, especially the latter. During the six days we were there, the food was different every day, showcasing the rich variety of Hungarian cuisine. Room furnishings were a little old but the room was very spacious. Connection to the Aquapolis and spa was a big plus.

It was a great two nights escape from home. Here are all impressions starting from our arrival: Parking ''pay per hour'' in front of the main hotel gates, but free just on the other side of the hotel and behind it. First half hour is free even in front of the main hotel door, so You can take out Your luggage. Very pleasant and helpful staff at the reception desk. Nice first impressions of the lobby. Biggest lobby I ever seen with all new and comfortable furniture (full of people at the evening). Room was standard size, with one large double bed (although with the connection of two mattresses in the middle) and one folding sofa. Nice big balcony, although not usable in cold January. As far as I could see in the passage while the maids were cleaning, mostly all the rooms were of the same size and quality. Great heating (important for vinter period). Beautiful bathroom and one of the nicest shower cabins ever. Large TV with some German and Serbian channels in addition to Hungarian ones. The only drawback of the room is the rather uncomfortable sofa bed. The part under the head is at an angle (slope), which is very uncomfortable. The staff told me that unfortunately all sofas are like that, because they are brand new and they were all bought the same. But if a small child sleeps on it, it can go down under that slope, and the sofa will still be long enough for him (which unfortunately was not possible in my case). Fairly soft mattresses on the large bed. Standard mini bar. Comfortable bathrobes and towels for both the bathroom and swimming pools. Dry and warm connection of the hotel to the aquapark! We've already been to this aquapark before but only daily, so there were no surprises there, and on this occasion I won't mention what's in the aquapark, but I'll concentrate on the hotel itself. What I didn't know is that apart from the water attractions in the aquapark itself, the hotel has an excellent spa on its ground floor (over 16 years old only). Aroma room, salt room, several different saunas, steam bath, jacuzzi, massages, tepidarium, outdoor wooden sauna, small pool, bar...all that will surely make me want to return, just with my wife. And then, after swimming and resting, we come to dinner! I can safely say that the food in this hotel is one of the best we have ever had. Probably one of the 3 best. Shall I start listing?.....Just briefly - all the most famous and most beautiful Hungarian national as international dishes in fantastic quality! Children's food corner - fantastic. Breakfast is no less varied and high-quality than dinner. Everything in buffet style. Btw, the hotel was full and the dining room was very crowded, but everything worked perfectly, and most of the guests could be heard praising the food. In the evening, a few interesting amenities for the children in the hotel (most of the guests are families with children because of the aquapark). Pool tables, bowling alley, various games in the game room, playroom for smal

Staff are nice, But 1/3 of the parking lot is closed because construction material is being loaded there, another 1/3 is closed (officially construction, unofficially VIP parking) and 1/3 of course full of guests staying. In the surrounding area they have introduced a no waiting zone. Parking is only possible under the adjacent baths at 200 Ft/hour, no discount is given by the hotel. This does not start your holiday as it used to.

Wonderful water expeirence. The hotel Forras is conveintent for short vacation 2-3 days. There are is spa,Sauna,Steam room,salt room,aroma room,slides,many pools,open pools with warm water,medical pools…. Excellent aqua park. Breakfast and dinner are amazing experiences. We had good time.

Pros: the staff was OK and the food was good, the pools were clean and the water slides were good. Cons: we asked for a room cleaning (by placing that littke sign on the door) and no one came the towels were on the same place as we left them and it looks like in the comunism.

They use full of chemicals to clean the bedding and towels. It's smells like solvents, the complete hotel has a nose squeezing smell. In the area are several open air disco-s making noise all the night, until 5pm. The corridors are dirty, hotel is old fashion. Very bad location.

Simple equiped hotel rooms - no ketle, no teas and coffee, no soap we need to ask for it, bed for 3rd person some kind of sofa, but on the floor, very thin and not real bed, uncomfortable. In the corners of room cobwebs and small spiders...no windows that we can open just big door of terrace. Very, very simple with no other amenities in the room. Only good thing is that there is big whater park which is conected with hotel.

Outside the hotel looks like a socialist holiday resort. The lobby and the bar is spacious, refurbished. The rooms too but the carpet is extremely dirty, the shower is oldschool, the flat screen tv is almost smaller than a tablet. Tha hotel has it's own wellness area. Unfortunately , during our stay the wellness elements of the pools did't work because of some technical issues. Luckily the hotel has a direct connection to the Szeged spa, where you can find all the necessarry wellness elements. If you choose half board, you can find a great variety of delicious meals both for breakfast and dinner, too. The staff is a bit bored, sometimes rude. What is sad that after a sauna show somebody became phisically unwell, almost fainted and the hotel staff wasn't prepared to a situation like this.

Great Hotel, we enjoyed it to the fullest! Beautiful quiet spa, all within the hotel, quality food, professional staff, beautiful large park nearby, quiet surroundings of the hotel, parking, non-smoking area throughout the hotel, excellent coffee ...
