Ensana Thermal Aqua

Live in Budapest, this is written more for tourists to Hévíz and the Ensana Thermal Aqua. Easy to access by public transport direct by Volan Bus from Budapest, or train from the Budapest Déli or south station in Buda, to Keszthely, then frequent buses to Hévíz (10 minutes). On foot from the bus station Ensana Thermal Aqua was easy to find, about 20 minute walk, use the central lake as your destination and landmark, walk past with lake entrance on left, another 2-300m to main road, turn right continue about 200m, you will see Ensana Aqua. Check in 2 minutes, room all good inc bed, bathroom, can open window, smart tv with screen share and room service (unclear what menu was). Guests were a mix from young couples with young children, many middle aged and older Hungarians, plus many Germans too; German, French or English is available and it’s ‘old school’ guests and personnel are polite and smile. One did the all inclusive offer for three nights and access to hotel’s hot pools inside/out, and larger pool outside if you wish to swim laps; gowns and towels provided (in room), bring your own beach slippers or flip flops. Dining area large, garden view (terrace too), comfortable seating and self serve starting breakfast inc hot foods 7-10, and 10-11 continental only light breakfast breakfast. Lunch 12-14, afternoon tea 15.00 then dinner 18-21; with all inclusive free soft drinks, beer & wine lunch/dinner then most of the pm after 15.00 inc. lobby bar (see time table picture) Food was good quality, changing and fresh variety, for vegetarians too: salads, soups, breads, pasta, vegetables, rice/potato, then 3-4 meat dishes inc a chicken, beef, pork or fish; many dessert choices too (think gluten &/or sugar free too). One’s advice is to first have a look around at all the food choices, plan your attack, small portions and take your time…. you are not going to miss out :)

We have been staying at the hotel for many years in a row. We were very pleased with the reconstruction of the SPA area. But I would like to point out a negative point: the centrifuge was not placed in the open access as it was before, but in the toilet. Some guests think it is possible to change clothes there, as a result, a queue of those who just need to wring out their swimsuit and those who need to go to the toilet accumulates. We stayed for 8 nights, but the bathrobe was not replaced as before. Has the concept changed? We were very pleased with the range of dishes in the restaurant. Cold soups are back again! Thank you very much!

Not the first time in this hotel.
Food, SPA, territory, cleanliness in the room - everything was at the highest level.
The staff takes great care of the guests, which, unfortunately, cannot be said about the vacationers themselves.

Very good. We have been there many times. Thermal pools are new and very nice. The rooms are newly decorated and beautiful. Food and drinks are at a solid level. In the last two years, they have raised the level of accommodation. We are satisfied with the staff and cleanliness. The saunas are nice.

We were at the hotel for the first time. We booked 5 nights. We liked everything so much during the first day that we extended our stay for another 6 days. Since the treatment in Lake Xeviz is optimal for 10 days. Reception: We were checked in by an employee named Dora. Friendly and attentive, she explained everything to us and actually created a good mood for us. Many thanks to her. Room: Spacious, new furniture, quiet. Cleaning of the room without any comments. Food: Varied and mostly tasty. Soup and side dishes for main courses were often oversalted. SPA: The pool and saunas met our expectations. Overall, we liked the hotel, we are planning a new trip.

Great experience. One night stay. Just a stop on the ttip to Plitvice but what a great find. It was a nice stay even if we didn't take advantage of all that you offer. Maybe next time!

Budget hotel with basic facilities, hot springs, three meals included, high cost performance, but the food is not crispy

A very cost-effective hotel. Accommodation also includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, all buffets with a wide variety of options. Unfortunately, the hot spring facilities are under maintenance, otherwise it would be perfect. In addition, the curtains are too narrow to block the light, and I hope it will be improved.

All fine, only point of critisism:

The wines at the all you can drink were undrinkable and tasted bad. I wanted to enjoy some nice wine, but couldn't finish a glass :/
