Everything was amazing. I didn’t get a room with a view. My fault. They don’t tell you that if you stay you get a card to go into the Cathedral and to see the black Madonna free no appt anytime. It was so cool to be up on the sight for two night.

There was a bit of confusion on where the apt was with the owner, and ended up with the wrong address and the right address again. Caused a fair bit of back and fourth, but the owner was great about getting us sorted in the end. Several things for future tenents, there is no uber and only two taxis in the town, plan to leverage your spanish if you need to book. Owner helps us book a taxi to airport for 90 euros.

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.
The hotel itself is correct. Clean. Looks like ideal location, however, it is not. Very noisy surroundings all the time. Multiplied by echo. Tourists make lots of noise, after the tourists are gone, the people staying there overnight, enjoy the area at night, talking, laughing loud. In the night, there are lots of taxis coming making noise. And the best starts from 6am when the gardeners start cutting the grass and cleaning the floors in the surroundings of the sanctuary. It is worth visiting Monserrat but avoid staying overnight there!.
Location can't be beat. And you get parking (albeit some distance away) which is otherwise a huge hassle. Understand that everything up there -- shops, restaurant (only one mediocre place, albeit with good service and excellent wine), cafeterias, hotel, apartments, hostel -- is under the same management. So if you want to stay up there - and really to appreciate one of the world's great holy places, you should -- you have to take what they offer and the apts. are the cheapest option.
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.
Nice, clean hotel. I first got a room with a smell of smoking but after asking a personnel i got different room. The bed is comfortable, everything is very clean. Unfortunately i had a room with no view - windows looking to the rocks but i only slept in a room.
They have a restaurant with a delicious food.
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.
dinner was very nice, many vegetarian options, very attentive and friendly service. we did not try breakfast. as other people have commented, it is quite a walk from the parking, so would definitely recommend to use the option to drive up to the hotel for luggage unloading.
The breakfast was good. We had to check-in at another close-by hotel - it wasn't a problem. They did communicate this with me the day of. The location was great. The rooms are very simple but comfortable. Parking coordination was good.
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.
I love this place with this hotel. I stay here i. Every second year when i came here. Breakfast is good but the sortiment smaller like my last travel. Cleaning and rooms is perfext. Staff friendly. Its a good place.
Great location, it was amazing to stay overnight in Montserrat and see the place late at evening almost empty. Special atmosphere at night. And great walks in the mountains in the morning :)
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 was everything! we love how it was tucked away in the mountains on Montserrat and the views are incredible! also glad to have the breakfast included.
