If you plan to explore more of Monsterrat, this is a good option. Walking distance to the Abbey and train station. Has a small grocery but better to buy from the city. You can bring food to cook because there is a community kitchen where you can prepare your food which is a great addition. Breakfast included is also good.
Located in Vacarisas, 21 miles from Tibidabo Amusement Park, La Frasera Alojamiento Rural has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Good location if you exclusively plan to hike, MTB etc around Montserrat.
Surroundings are very pretty.
This historic townhouse has been carefully renovated to create a charming small hotel. It lies at the foot of Montserrat – the most important and impressive religious site in Catalonia.

Staff was great. Property was lovely. Breakfast was good. We had drinks and supper on site - it was so nice to have this option and the surroundings were so pretty.

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 hotel is right next to the Abby. The beautiful view from our window was of the plaza outside of the Basilica. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed. Wonderful service. The staff were friendly, kind and helpful. The manager of the restaurant even opened our bottle wine and gave us wine glasses to take to our room.
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.
Nice, clean hotel. I first got a room with a smell of smoking but after asking a personnel i got different room. The bed is comfortable, everything is very clean. Unfortunately i had a room with no view - windows looking to the rocks but i only slept in a room.
They have a restaurant with a delicious food.
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.
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.
The breakfast was good. We had to check-in at another close-by hotel - it wasn't a problem. They did communicate this with me the day of. The location was great. The rooms are very simple but comfortable. Parking coordination was good.
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.
Room was spacious, kids liked the bunk beds and large private bathroom with double shower stalls. Breakfast was ample and tasty. Best part was our room with a vast view of Montserrat.
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
The location, the buffet breakers was great. Very enjoyable trip to Montserrat. So happy that I choose Alberg Abat Oliba. Front desk staff were so polite and helpful.
Very simple, but very clean and exceptionally located hotel. The view is just amazing, staff were great, restaurant also very tasty. Really great experience.
