Great location next to the Basilica and hiking trails. Can’t beat the price for a small apartment in this remarkable place. Quiet at night, bird song in the early morning. If they could do something to improve the smell of moisture or mildew in the bathroom, and improve the water quality from the sinks, it would be nearly ideal. Loved my stay and would return.

The apartment was very comfortable and in a great location. It was a short walk to transportation, restaurants, museum, and the Basilica. The staff is personable and knowledgeable. We were given great tips for restaurants, times with smaller crowds, and events in Monserrat. Make sure you contact them at least 48 hours in advance for checkin arrangements. Also, be aware of your arrival time. The skyline and funicular are closed at 6:00 pm. There is a taxi available but get the number from the hotel before you travel.

Amazing experience at a great value. But only for the mountain trails. Two complaints: a large group of teenagers were playing on UNESCO monuments and littering. They were also screaming and chasing each other around, this is an ancient place that deserves more respect. The monastery also failed to mention the pedophilia and abuse cases emerging this year, I would not have paid the abbey anything if I knew.

A bit dated but nice

The apartments sind kind of dated but nice. Definitly wonderfully located for hiking in the area. The Checkin was a bit of stress. You have pick the keys at the Hotel not the Appartments. I liked it for three nights. The only bad thing was the smell in the bathroom, but I believe they were fixing the problem. The small kitchen has everything.

Incredible Monserrat experience

Amazing apartment inside the monastery gave us an incredible experience in Montserrat. Its not easy to understand how to get to the apartment, as the check in was in a different building and the directions where not clear about parking, as you cannot park close to the apartments

We stayed 2 nights in the apartments. Very spacious with 2 bedrooms, each with 2 single beds, kitchen and eating area. It is simply decorated, but had all the essentials. Yes they are sparse, yes there are bells - it is a monastery! We loved the bells, and it was so great not to be rushing in and out of Barcelona on a day trip. It allowed us to attend the Vespers service and hear the monks and boys choir sing, experience beautiful sunsets and sunrises, and have a full day of great hiking. We had brought a lot of our groceries with us, and added a few extras from the market store - some reviews noted it was very expensive, but for a tourist location it didn't seem unreasonable - if you show your room ID they give you a discount on items. We didn't try the restaurant. We did have coffee and sandwiches from the cafeteria, and they were both good. When planning to stay, keep in mind you have to bring everything including shampoo, soap and dish soap and sponges - we forgot the dishwashing items but the market has little kits behind the counter, just ask for them. Not sure what else they might have stocked back there! The only downside is the smell in the bathroom that some people mentioned - a challenge with old pipes. And showering would have been easier with a curtain, but all doable with a bit of cleanup afterwards. We loved being in the area after most of the visitors and buses had left for the day - would highly recommend staying here!

Everything was great, very quiet, awesome view but the only thing because it’s located on a mountain the transportation is a challenge I’m Yerma that takes too long to reach the main touristic area and is better to have a car otherwise I enjoyed my stay.

We felt this was very good value for money. The location was uplifting, facing the cathedral and we quickly got used to the frequent bells. The rest of the time, it was very peaceful. The apartment was spacious, with two bedrooms and understandably plain and unornate. The kitchen facilities were fine for a short stay.

The accommodations were somewhat spartan but comfortable. The unit was clean and relatively spacious. We did not use the kitchen facilities in unit so I can not comment on the function of the kitchen. It served us well for our two night stay. Good WiFi.

Perfect for backpackers

Did not realize how off the beat and track these accommodations were. There is only one option for evening dining (the hotel restaurant) as all other shops close around 6pm. The room was similar to a hostel/camp grounds cabin. Had to make up our own beds upon arrival and the shower stall had no door/curtain so the bathroom would get quite flooded (probably why they left a mop in the bathroom). Probably should have done a bit more research on the location as we did not realize it was situated on the same grounds as an active monastery and basilica which meant there was a crucified jesus in our sitting room along with another religious picture hung in the bedroom, not to mention the numerous statues etc scattered all throughout the grounds. For a non-catholic it was a little off putting to say the least and we only ended up staying 1 of the 3 nights we had booked.

Best vacation stay ever!

I booked the accommodations by mistake, not realizing how far we were outside Barcelona. The best mistake I ever made! We had never heard of Montserrat and ended up spending our time here rather than exploring Barcelona. I didn't realize I was renting apartments for my extended family (rather than a hotel room....despite the name!), and so was unprepared (no groceries, shampoo etc). Do yourself a favor and book these apartments! Just be more prepared than we were. Great value in one of these most beautiful locations I've ever explored.
