  : Staying the night here was one of the best decisions we made. Waking up and looking out towards the abbey before all the other tourists arrived was an amazing experience. The restaurant on-site was great.
  : The rooms are basic but comfortable, but the location trumps everything.

  : The room had a spectacular view onto the monastery and wider vista (although I have seen that some people have not been so lucky and have instead faced the cliff face). Staying so close allows you to experience the monastery in the late evening before it closes without the crowds. Also, we were able to enjoy the sunrise with a short walk up to Michael's Cross which I would thoroughly recommend. Whilst there is no parking directly adjacent to the hotel, you can use the temporary space to drop your bags and then park for 14euros nearby.
  : Whilst the restaurant's cavern-like interior was interesting, the food was average and overpriced.

  : The location on the mountain is the best. You receive many perks by spending the night on Monserrat. For example, you can attend the choir concert at 1:00 as well as Vespers in the evening. You can see the Black Virgin without an additional ticket. These are perks for those spending the night at Monseratt. Daytime visitors have to seek these tickets out and they are in short supply. Contrary to what I have read, there is LOTS TO DO on Monserrat. Of course, it is faith-based, but there is lots of hiking available. The art museum was EXCEPTIONAL as was the audio-visual area. (They need a new name for that venue because it doesn't cover the interesting displays.) I was not initially able to rent a room at this hotel. Many tours use the hotel so large amounts of rooms are blocked off early. I made a reservation with a second choice but a couple of days early I was able to see that there had been a cancelation and grabbed the room in time to cancel my second choice. If you want to stay here book early, and keep trying if you are unsuccessful.
  : We happened to be at Monserrat when it was unusually hot. There was no air conditioning in the rooms, so during the day, it was warm. However, there are good shades to help keep the room cool, and the nighttime was glorious. The windows were opened all the way and it was very refreshing.

  : More things in town than I expected. Hotel better too.
  : Sewer gas smell from bathroom. Thin walls. Noisy people in halls. No usb. Thin pillow. View of rocks. No heat. Maids made noise early. Didn't get me in at 2pm.
