SBR Zdrave is Bankya's medical-balneo institution — a specialised rehabilitation hospital with a balneo centre and a sports centre, with around 300 beds, and the treatment-led counterpart to the town's leisure spa hotels.
The spa and the water
The facilities are built for therapy rather than leisure: a 25-metre indoor mineral pool plus an outdoor pool, sauna, steam bath, a Vichy shower and hydrotherapy (tangentor), with Bankya's mineral water plumbed into every room. This is the place that most directly embodies Bankya's identity as Bulgaria's cardiac-rehabilitation resort — its gentle, softly alkaline water (likened to Vichy) used above all for cardiovascular and general rehabilitation, under medical supervision.
Who it suits
Guests coming for a genuine course of rehabilitation or a structured cardiac/recovery programme — and budget-minded travellers comfortable with a clinical, sanatorium-style setting rather than a hotel. As a state rehabilitation facility it's booked directly, not through Booking.com.
What guests say
As a medical-rehabilitation institution rather than a hotel, it isn't rated on the usual booking platforms; expect a clinical, treatment-first environment with extensive mineral-water facilities. Confirm programmes, availability and what's included directly with the complex.
Prices
