We couldn't be more happy with our stay. Smooth check in process, very friendly and kind staff at the reception desk (we had to check in at the main hotel building, not the albergue itself). I am very grateful that we got a room earlier, my mom was pretty tired and this literally saved our day. Wonderful small but functional room on 5th floor facing the mountains - we could enjoy birds singing, nature sound and stunning views. Albergue building has exceptional common areas - from beautiful spacious lobby with cozy sitting areas to huge common space with the kitchen and sitting areas. Common areas is well planned and pleasant to look at.
Rooms and floor halls are simply designed, but this is something expected at albergue.
Really good buffet breakfast was included in the price - freshly baked bread out of oven, sandwich toppings, jams, fruits, cereals, good coffee...
I can say our stay exceeded my expectations. Spending night at Montserrat is the best way to experience this marvelous site, especially with the good and affordable accommodation.
There were not too many guests at the night of our stay, which made our time there even more special. It was quiet and very tranquil.
Note, you have to make your own bed. This was fine for me and expected in such place, however, I can imagine some people can me unprepared.

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.. 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 staff both at the hotel and around was very nice, the police women halped to come with the car and all the people around supported me. When asked on the options for dinner, was provided with a good alternative by the host and everything been just right. I would defenetly come once more and moreover i have told all the people i know about this place and how they should come to stay and enjoy the good vibes this place have on the human spirit.
If your going to visit Montserrat Cathedral and grounds, then this is the place for you to stay! Getting to the top of the mountain is not for the faint of heart as the road hugs a mountain all the way up. The restaurant that is attached is also great for dinner and good for a continental+ breakfast. Quaint setting with the hotel at the center of it all.
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.
The location is wonderful, well worth the night(s) here (at a terrible hotel / restaurant). It enabled us to walk the grounds in absolute peace (after the throngs of tourists had left).
Not to mention, trying to get your luggage into the hotel was an adventure in itself.
Excellent location, right in the heart of the Monastery complex. Spacious and clean apartment. All the staff are very helpful (please note check in is at the hotel not the apartment) and the restaurant in the hotel is a beautiful space with a lovely ambience.
Location is great. We are happy that we have decided to overnight here, night experience is so different, and it gives the opportunity to visit Madonna and basilica early in the morning, without other people.
Breakfast in the hotel is very convenient.
The breakfast was a great value for the 5 of us. Also, based on the location right at Montserrat, there wasn't much else available early in the morning, so it was perfect to have breakfast available at the hostel.
Staff were friendly and helpful. I was able to leave my luggage before my room was ready.
Dinner in the hotel restaurant was convenient and delicious. Restaurant service was perfectly timed.
Good to stay in Montserrat and definitely recommend to stay overnight. Being at the room gives a discount on the parking and the basilica entrance.
But may be choose the other hotel.
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
Quiet hotel, huge sharing space. A lot of equipment in the kitchen, so you can prepare your own food.
Clean and warm rooms. We had beautiful view from a window.
