Bratus Hotel is fantastic, from check in to check out we had the best stay. Upgraded to a suite with views of the moon and sun rising over the hills. The breakfast was delicious and the staff can’t do enough for you. The gym and sauna are brilliant facilities, also a steam room but we didn’t use this. Highly recommend! Thank you to all the staff for a lovely stay and a good laugh!

The bathroom was also modern and well-kept. Unfortunately, the bed was not comfortable at all. The bedding felt cheap and n...
