SPA Hotel Medicus is one of Varshets's central four-star spa hotels, a short walk from the Sun Garden park and the town baths.
The spa and the water
Its spa is free for guests: a large indoor mineral pool, a hot tub, a sauna and a steam room. The unusual touch is that the guest rooms themselves run on Varshets's mineral water — you drink and wash in it. Varshets is prized for the quality of its water rather than its heat: an exceptionally soft, lime-free, alkaline spring traditionally used as a "heart resort" for cardiovascular and nervous-system conditions, and helpful for metabolic and digestive complaints. A practical central base for that gentle, restorative kind of cure.
Who it suits
Couples and travellers who want a comfortable, central four-star with a big mineral pool and the town's sights on the doorstep, at mid-range prices.
What guests say
Guest opinion is good but not uniform (see the rating panel): the central location, the big clean pool at a pleasant temperature and friendly staff draw praise, while the most common gripe is that the indoor pool area can get crowded at weekends.
