Hotel Abat Cisneros Montserrat

位置優越，就在修道院門口，打開窗户就可以看到如畫的風景。房間古典漂亮，乾淨衞生，唯一缺點就是插座少。

某 有名バルセロナ観光案内サイトのお勧めに従って宿泊しました。 結論から言って予想以上に大正解。 特に夜と早朝の壮麗な雰囲気は、それだけで価値がありました。 遅く起きても夜明けは8時頃なので十分楽しめます。 宿泊したのは11月下旬でしたので、15時過ぎのケーブルカーは1人で貸し切り。 調べた限り掲載の見当たらない重要情報として、モンセラット宿泊者はミサ、黒マリアなどの入場料が無料になります。 また18:30頃までしか空いてませんが、駅 - ホテルの間にあるお土産屋で宿泊時用の水やビール、スナックを買う際に、宿泊時にフロントでもらえる案内状を見せると10%程度の割引があります。 これを逃すと当然自販機もありませんので、フロントで500ml、1ユーロで水を買うしかありません。 シングル部屋は山側(眺望なし)で、アメニティは石鹸とオールインワンジェル2本、シャワーキャップ、ポケットティッシュのみで、タオル類は揃っています。 朝食はフロントで追加可能で20ユーロ程度だったかと思いますが、十分満足いくものでした。 営業時間(8~10時)の終わりぎりぎりに伺ったためか、陽気なスタッフがパンコントマテを作ってくれて、これが絶品!

The hotel rooms were small. They were clean but two problems: very much on the small side, and too much furniture. It was impossible to open the window and was very stuffy. The window could not be opened because of the desk that was too big for the room. The power outlets were inconveniently placed. Be aware that luggage needs to be dragged some distance to the hotel. Buffet breakfast was OK.

This hotel is right at the heart of the Montserrat complex, in a building previously used to accommodate the monks. The staff at reception were pleasant and efficient. My room was of a good size, recently decorated, and with a large comfortable bed. The only downside of the whole stay was the view from my window : a rock face, about a metre away. I guess I had a 50% chance of this since the hotel is built against the rock face: half the rooms will have a great view, the other half will face the rocks; I ought to have thought of specifically reserving a room facing out. Dinner in the restaurant (an elegant room) was very good and not at all expensive; very good service. The breakfast (a buffet) was very good too. Top tip : make sure that your window is closed or else you’ll be woken very early by the church bells. My only regret is that I didn’t have time to stay a 2nd night: there’s a lot of mountain to explore above the monastery. In sum, highly recommended.

We stayed here, instead of the nearby hostel, because a space became available. Our first night was in the most distant room possible, without WiFi, where we were locked in until 8 a.m. the next morning. They moved us to a much nicer room, where we enjoyed the convenience. Montserrat gets thousands of visitors every day, but empties out at night until the first busses arrive in the morning. The evenings and mornings especially were delightful. The Hotel's restaurant, the only source of evening food, had a delicious but repetitive menu. The breakfast buffet was limited. Montserrat and it mountain was a highlight of our trip.

The location is excellent; cleaning service and cleaning staff are very good and kind. If it weren’t for the location of the hotel near the monastery, it would be very difficult for them to survive as business, let alone succeed. Indeed, I would not return a second time there and nor would recommend it to friends and colleagues. We were in a pilgrim visit from 30 July- 3 August 2022. During these days some unpleasant things happen to our group: - Evening staff made up of two young boys at the reception, was arrogant and unprofessional. - Service staff at the restaurant in the evening of 1 August ( in the separate hall for groups) was impolite and no word of English and absolutely an ignorant behaviour: After we finished dinner, usually members of our group gathered in the lobby all aged 50 and over, all very intellectuals and high standards professionals. The only joy was to have a glass of wine together. That very evening of 1 August we headed for the same thing and got from the table those unfinished bottles for which we paid. The waiter came and took it from our hands and kicked us out. I went thereafter with the leader of our group and talked to the maitre, who allowed us to take our bottles and go in the lobby. I question myself, is this a gentleman behavior?
