10/10 Excellent

It was an excellent experience.
indrani, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

a former monastery of great scale in a large campus in the mountain with black pine forest. the huge cross on the hill top is in the view from the room. although the decay on the exterior of the building is visible, the interior is well maintained. overall it gives you a unique experience.

Beautiful location at the foot of the Cross in a Benedictine monastery.
Diego, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

6/10 Okay

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.
Marthlu, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Threw my key at the receptionist and walked away!

If you want to explore El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen monument stay in Madrid and make it a day trip. I stupidly booked this hotel and ended up not even staying there a night. Way too remote! I didn't have a car and was relying on taxis which made me vulnerable! This could be a five star resort in the right hands but not under current management. It should go back to being a monastery under present conditions! When I first entered the hotel it took me awhile to find a human being to help me. That's how deserted and lifeless the place was. And then the person I finally got couldn't speak English. This is how Spain wants to improve its tourist industry and economy?

Hostel bien para precio y lo que se esperaba Solo saber que sin coche está muy aislado, y se necesita para salir a comer o tomar algo

Al final, no pude llevarme la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia, los cuatro tomos ni el quinto libro, ya que el domingo los habían vendido más temprano en el día.

Es un monasterio el cual tiene algunas habitaciones mejores que otras, sobretodo las del primer piso en verano son recomendables, en el segundo el calor es agobiante! Es todo bien básico! No espere ventiladores ni aires acondicionados
Alberto, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

La hospedería ha vivido tiempos mejores. Las habitaciones son vetustas en todos los aspectos. El cuarto de baño pequeñísimo, imposible estar dos personas en el interior al mismo tiempo. Las camas una en una esquina y la otra en la otra esquina. Ruidosas. El pasillo una pesadilla: cada vez que alguien se movía por el pasillo entraba la luz en la habitación por una ventana situada encima de la puerta de entrada a la habitación. El genio que tuvo esa idea se merece un monumento. Para no repetir.

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.
