The breakfast could have been a bit more complete but was OK in fairness. Anyone booking in that location is clearly looking for something rural, there are some nice walks in the area.
When our car broke down they were very helpful trying to help, and even gave us each a free drink while waiting for the recovery-truck to turn up. That was not necessary but very well received!

Perfect place in Montserrat. Host is very nice and helpful. We had an unforgettable moment with two gentle dogs in this beautiful place. I would love to re-visit this place in a few years with my kids. Breakfast is very good!! Cheese is yummy!

Very nice older style hotel. Room was comfortable and we ate in the restaurant as we arrived late and the meal was quite good. They also provided free coffee and muffins as we checked out after breakfast.

The location was perfect for visiting Monserrat. We took the funicular up and walked down with splendid views. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. The accomadation was a modernised home that retained the charm of its past. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking while the small town had a number of restaurants to choose from. The bed was very comfortable.

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 location was excellent for our purposes - one night at Monistrol de Montserrat to be close to the basilica and the walks.
The rooms were very spacious, with good sized bathrooms, too.
The dinner in the restaurant was great quality, but the portions were too big for a three course menu. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great have a checkout time of 12pm, meant we could get another walk in after breakfast.
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.
Superb , fantastic location!!! And easy to reach by car. We were allowed to get to the hotel entrance by car while all cars visiting Montserrat for a day had to park much earlier. Very good value for money - great breakfast (again relative to the price).
Nice hotel in an amazing location. It was very warm and comfortable. the most beautiful view from the window to the Abbey and the mountains. We spent a magical New Year here, there was a festive service in the Abbey. Quiet and lovely place
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
