Really quiet hostel, big communal kitchen where you can cook your own meal. It's clean and located in a beautiful place. Nice hiking trails around it. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, it was simple but it did the job. You get a discount to the Mirador restaurant and a free entry to the Cathedral, also a nice plus.
Set in Vacarisas, 35 km from Tibidabo Amusement Park, La Frasera Alojamiento Rural offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Warm welcome and personal attention. I seriously hurt my ankle during a hike they day before we arrived in the hotel, and they were super nice to help me with iceing and everything else I needed to recover. She asked various times if I was doing good and if she could offer any help.
The location was perfect for our purpose, pretty nearby Barcelona, close the highway by still totally in nature so you didn't hear any noise apart from birds :-). The view from the hotel and the swimming pool was great, with the beatiful mountains in the background. Several different places around the hotel where you could relax. Perfect place to relax.
Although the hotel does not offer dinner, there are various nice restaurants in El Bruc in 10 to 15 minutes walking distance, so this is no problem at all.
This attractive hotel is set in front of the Montserrat Mountain Natural Park. With spacious gardens, it offers a seasonal outdoor pool, free parking and mountain views, 40 km from Barcelona.

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 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.
Breakfast was wonderful -- and I was especially happy to be accommodated for dinner at the hotel -- Food was delicious and service friendly.
The fact that I was there for the 800th made the experience even more wonderful. I loved being able to attend lauds, eucharist, and vespers each day -- ND -- to experience solemn vespers including the boys' choir.
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.
Breakfast was ample and tasty. Our room for family of 5 has a private bath and amazing view of surrounding Montserrat. Room was super spacious. Great place to stay if wanting to explore Montserrat to beat the crowds and tour buses first thing in the morning and still have time to do a hike.
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.
The location was stunning. The hotel immaculate. The restaurant surpassed our expectations, the food was delicious, the service attentive, friendly and professional. check out the photos on the website, they don’t do it justice.
Clean, comfortable, beautiful views of Montserrat, delicious breakfast and the price is very good. Definitely worth staying overnight. Monserrat is really beautiful and was a highlight of my trip to Spain.
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.
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.
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.
