The hospitality of the staff was exceptional.
The property has a lot of charm. It’s typical agricultural establishment when a friendly dogs and cats will follow you around. The room we stayed was very quiet, clean with simple decor.
Continental breakfast (included in the room price) was very satisfying. If you don’t feel like driving in the evening you can also book a dinner. Expect a simple, very tasteful home made food .

The best is to arrive in the second part of the day and stay over night when it is less crowded to enjoy the views and silence.
There are few trails around the monastery. You may walk one of them before sunset and in the morning you may go to San Jeroni and enjoy the views before its too hot. You may ask for a trail map in the information office.
You may go to San Jeroni without using funicular , just take steps next to Abbat Oliba statue and you will see pointers. You may also buy water in the machine in the hostel next to the statue.
In the evening noone asked for a ticket to see Madonna although if you stay in the hotel you have free access anyway.

Amazing place.
Amazing place.
Just don't be in a hurry and have time to feel it.
If you can have an overnight, have it!
Late evening and early morning hours are the best time to have the real feel of Montserrat.

As shown in any photo of the place, Montserrat is one of the most beautiful religious sights on the planet. It is also packed all day with thousands of pilgrims and other visitors. I enjoyed the Sant Joan funicular up the mountain from the Monastery, then the scenic 45 minute walk back down, with panoramic views of the surrounding country, all the way to Barcelona. Staying on site was key, as things were much nicer after 5-6pm when all the crowds left. I stayed there overnight partly to see the 6:30 choir practice of the Escalonia Choir. Supposedly it is "Europe's oldest boys choir." I believe that, since the choir that I saw practice at that particular time, averaged 60-70 years in age! Evening was also nice in the cave-like rocks along the mountain side of the Cathedral, where there were thousands and thousands of lit candles left by the faithful during the day.

We loved the cathedral and the easy access to the Virgin.
We loved the cathedral and the easy access to the Virgin. We then took the train to the top and went for a great hike. The views are astonishing. Having read about really expensive parking up there, we were a bit afraid. However, hotel guests get a reduction and parking fees are very reasonable. This place is really worth a visit.

Montserrat is unmissable..
Montserrat is unmissable.. Ingrown on the rock mountains offers an unparalleled landscape and van be accessed by train or by road both fantastic. A funicular takes visitors even higher. Good hotels and restaurants. Excelent visit for one or two days maximum or much more for resting purposes.

OMG! Fabulous if you like hiking in the mountains - so many trails and so much to see. I was there 3.5 days and hiked about 40km in total. Beautiful area. Be ready for some challenging terrain - especially on the downhills! Some easier places to go also - something for everyone I would say.
If you are able to spare the time - definitely stay up on the mountain...the early mornings are the best, cool and quiet, before the rush of the day.
We stayed for one night and it was great for a visit to Montserrat. The room we had was big and we had an amazing view over the monastery and the valley. Check in went smooth and we got a reservation at the restaurant for dinner very easy. Room was clean and spacious. After all tourists and visitors left late afternoon the place is really quiet and peaceful.
The hotel is right next to the Abby. The beautiful view from our window was of the plaza outside of the Basilica. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed. Wonderful service. The staff were friendly, kind and helpful. The manager of the restaurant even opened our bottle wine and gave us wine glasses to take to our room.
Very large apartment with big table area, kitchen, and extra bedroom (we didn't really use the kitchen). Good location for hiking and all the Montserrat activities. Lots of space to spread out, nice to open windows. Private area as not many people seemed to be staying there. Nice to have a shower after hiking all day.
Location, location, location. The apartment is within a few steps of Montserrat abbey and the rack railway (cremallera). The two funicular railways and the cable car are also only a short walk away. Apartments have lift to all floors. Lots of marked hiking trails nearby. Fantastic views.
Great breakfast buffet included with the room. Meats, cheeses, cereal, sweets and coffee to prepare you for a day of hiking ahead. Adorable and kind staff working in the hotel! Close to all attractions in the town, including the basilica and the trails. Comfortable, large room.
Great value for money, make sure to book half board as the restaurant (for dinner) is located in a nicer hotel, 3 minutes walk away.
Room was quiet, generally no problems.
For such a cheap price, definitely recommend.
We loved the location. The room was excellent. Beautiful view from the window. Great breakfast. The kitchen was very useful. The perfect place to rest and recover after exploring the beautiful nature of Montserrat.
Staying in the monastery complex was unique. The hotel was very quiet and the room was comfortable. Had a great sleep. Staff at the reception was helpful. Loved hearing the cathedral bells ringing for mass.
It was great to have an apartment right inside Montserrat. The apartment itself was comfortable and well heated. The kitchen was decently equipped. We were able to bring our dog.
This hostel/hotel was a great surprise after a bad experience in Barcelona! Beautiful spot, cozy room, clean bathroom, very good share kitchen and also good breakfast included.
very friendly staff, if you cannot speak Spanish the lovely staff speak very good English, great location close to Montserrat with lots of hikes, amazing views, dogs allowed
The location is hard to beat. The hotel was really quiet. First quiet night in Spain. The beds were comfy.
The evening was lovely after the crowds left.
The place is greatly located, and the staff is very helpful. There is also a small discount in the Monastery shops that is available for the hotel's guests.
