A charming monastery hotel within the valley of the fallen. Simple rooms offer a taste of monastic life in the quiet beauty of the valley. Guests should be prepared for simple dining fare at fixed, very Spanish hours: 9 am breakfast and 8:30 dinner.

The architecture is amazing, between a castle and an abbey. Sadly, there is poor management. There are no qualified services like restaurants, restrooms, or customer service, but in the end, that keeps it less crowded.

A great location but needs a fair bit of work
A good stay but it would have been better if the bar was open, not just at weekends and there was an option for the evening meal (which was OK but only just). The evening meal was "almost cold" seafood soup followed by "warm" salmon. No choice. We weren't even told about it.
Staff were great and what made the visit extra special was the beautiful mass the following morning at 11:00. It says it's a 13 min walk but it's not, you need a car.
Very weak wifi in the room and no aircon which would be a problem in the heat of the summer.
Beautiful location and a nice stop but it needs a fair bit of work being done to it to make it a stunning stopover.

LUGAR FANTÁSTICO PARA RETIRO ESPIRITUAL
Aunque realmente no fue el motivo de mi viaje, es un sitio fantástico para evadirte del mundo. Eso sí, si lo que buscas es seguir en modo ON con el mundo, no te gustará por la falta de colectividad.

Sitio excepcionalmente bonito!
Como experiencia, excelente. Es una antigua abadía que solo con eso ya merece toda la pena! Las vistas geniales.
La comodidad de las habitaciones y las camas es la justa, pero el resto compensa todo. Solo hay que estar MUY pendiente que el check-in es HASTA las 10 pm... no puedes llegar después... y no queda claro cuando reservas...
Pero de resto, es que todo es tan bonito, que vale la pena hospedarse aquí!
