Back in summer of 2014, we took a 2 day rafting trip, during which we visited Rabati Castle Complex for about an hour. in such short time we hadn't much chance to explore the so called "Jewel in the Crown" - Rabati Castle complex, renovated just couple of years ago, and aimed to become as one of the most popular tourist attractions in Georgia.
Back then (in summer of 2014) we noticed a hotel located at the heart of Rabati castle complex, and we decided we should come back again, stay at local hotel and explore this charming place.
Our second trip to Akhaltsikhe happened at start of January 2015, using one of the cheapest travel options in Georgia - minibus, we reached Akhatlsikhe in less than 3 hours.

For a two night stay, we paid in total 260 GEL (USD140.00/EUR 115.00), in price was included breakfast and a visit to the spa center for 2 hours each day.
We paid around 60 GEL for supper at first night at the Hotels restaurant. Another day we went to local Akhaltsikhe restaurants and got the same value for about 30 GEL.
In overall - Hotel Rabath in Akhaltsikhe is now my second favorite hotel in Georgia after Hotel Royal Batoni in Kvareli.
