Baby-friendly recreation, or going nowhere without the little ones!

Choosing the ideal accommodation is key to baby-friendly travel. Many hotels and apartment blocks offer convenience services, but it is important to be clear about what makes an accommodation baby-friendly. While some of these convenience solutions have become quite common, the baby-friendly offerings don’t stop there.

As one of the pioneers of baby- and family-friendly holidays in Hungary, the Kolping Hotel Spa & Family Resort in Alsópáhok offers special deals for travellers with little ones: not only do they provide comfort for families with family-friendly suites and adventure pools, but they also offer unique packages for different age groups, which help parents and children throughout their stay. The youngest guests will have a special playful experience at the baby-friendly hotel, where they will be greeted personally by Bobo, the ever-moving, smiling hippo, who will playfully check them in. The family can enjoy the water all year round, starting with baby-friendly swimming in the mornings and swimming in the indoor and outdoor pools in the afternoons. In-room games corners and free weekly activities on the mainland guarantee family fun.

The MenDan Hotel in Zalakaros also aims to provide complete family recreation, and with the Funhouse concept, it is ready to entertain the little ones. In a fun, playful atmosphere, with the help of animators, all members of the family can have fun. In the 1000 sqm Water World bathing complex, you can swim safely with the little ones in a separate slide pool. The hotel offers baby food and a special children’s buffet for families, with special attention to the needs of younger guests.

Hotels are not the only ones preparing to welcome families with babies: the Levendulaház (Lavender House) in Tiszaroff also offers very caring family-friendly services. The apartment has a unique approach and attention to children’s comfort and fun: a cot with bed linen, high chair, baby bath, baby stroller, baby changing table and a real children’s toilet are available. The playground has a huge sandpit, a children’s pool and a separate playroom for the little ones. Fun for the whole family is given: barbecues, barbecues, ping-pong, badminton, football or even a hot tub.

In addition to accommodation, another key feature of our travels is the child-friendly nature of the restaurants: places offering baby food and children’s menus are explicitly designed to allow little ones to try the food and then, when they get bored of sitting at the table, to keep themselves occupied so that mum and dad can finish their meal in comfort.

The Rosinante Stylish Countryside Hotel and Restaurant is a truly child-friendly establishment, designed for the comfort and enjoyment of all members of the family. There is a separate children’s menu, high chairs, baby cots with bedding, changing facilities, toys, a sandpit and a swing. On Sundays, the restaurant organises special activities for families dining here between 12:00 and 16:00, with animators offering handicraft activities or even baking cakes, so parents can enjoy a leisurely lunch while their children play in the playhouse.

The Manooka Café is also a real gem: the first café and breakfast place in Eger that focuses on baby-friendly specialities and is specifically designed to make parents and children alike feel comfortable. Healthy treats are served alongside light-roast coffees, and there is a well-stocked play area for the little ones to make sure no one’s coffee gets cold.

Planning and organizing a trip with a growing family does require more thought and preparation, but there are an increasing number of baby-friendly places to visit! These are places where you can really experience memorable and happy moments together as a family.
