Legends Tskaltubo Spa Resort

Stayed there yesterday, don’t expect like a crazy fancy hotel. It’s a former bath with an amazing swimming pool, a beautiful garden and a lot of lovely dogs! The building is impressive and the service was very good. Didn’t have the chance to try the breakfast but the room was very comfortable with a good AC. I honestly don’t understand other reviews (4,1/5 🧐)

Huge recommendation to stay here, and this is why; if you come to Tskaltubo to see the former Soviet sanatoria, this hotel is a must stay, as it is the only place where the past is brought back to life in a great way. Rooms breathe the sanatorium vibe. Decorations are in original state and so is the furniture. Rooms are comfortable and the owner is very eager and enthusiastic to tell you more about the hotel, it’s history and may even be willing to give you some peeks in parts of the complex that are still in original(!) state. I have read some negative reviews here too. Do not go here if you think the buffet is some Turkish riviera all-in-resort. It’s not and it does not want to be. Don’t go if you want the most luxurious hotel on the planet. It’s not the purpose of the place. Do not go if you don’t want to understand that the furniture is actually dating back from Soviet era and that you are actually having the opportunity to sleep in a time capsule.

Amazing place! Bonus point: they take care of and treat the dogs well on their territory.

Spending the night here was one of my highlights in Tskaltubo. Having spent already one week and going to almost all the available abandoned sanatoriums, it was amazing to finally stay in one and see it full of life. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the facilities are excellent, the food was very tasty. What is really amazing is that half of the hotel is renovated while the other half remains untouched, as it was in the USSR era. We were extremely lucky to be given a tour of the premises by the knowledgeable owner and her passionate daughter, they told us so much about the history of the place and explained us things we would have never imagined. Staying here was like going back in time, I left very satisfied with a big smile and a feeling of nostalgia. Very much recommended if you stay in Tskaltubo!

Staying in this hotel is like stepping back in time. Lush grounds to walk around in peace and wonderful breakfast. I came during off season and felt like I had the hotel to myself. The staff was wonderful and accommodating and went out of their way to make sure the stay was perfect. If you are in Tskaltubo do not miss staying in this historical hotel.

Great experience staying here. Only part of the complex has been maintained as a hotel, and that part retains its retro charm and grand old architecture. The grounds are extensive, and the pool is surprisingly nice. With not that many rooms open given its size, it also never felt busy. There's more comfortable hotels, or hotels with better food, but few that would give you a genuine Tskaltubo experience like here.

Definitely will be visiting one more time in Spring

Really hope this place will continue thriving. We stayed for a week and here’re the main highlights: 1. Food. Trust me, it’s sooo goood! We gained at least two kilos because of this :) The breakfasts are average, but lunches and dinners are just amazing!! 2. People We had 3 procedures every day - everyone were so welcoming and we felt like at home. 3. Atmosphere Just amazing. Look at the pictures and imagine than in reality it’s x5 times better Notes: of course, you’ll see that the whole building is getting worse at some places, you’ll see that wardrobe and the whole vibe of a room is not super luxurious. However, there’re so many advantages here so you’ll not pay attention to these details
