Featuring private hot mineral pools that are free and exclusive for guests, Rainbow Motel & Hot Pools offers spacious self-catering units with central heating, fully equipped kitchens and TVs with DVD player and satellite channels. Free WiFi is available. The hot pools, which run 24/7 were awesome and very warm. Three out of four pools were operating during our stay and they can be locked, so they become private pools. When we went for a bath in a pool after dinner, only one was occupied. Rooms were very clean and heating was turned on since it was already a bit chilly outside.
