Such an amazing location and views
Michael, 1-night trip

Fantastic location

What an amazing location, finding it via sat -nav not good, instructions should read, enter via entrance to the Valley of the Fallen. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is an old monastery with wonderful character. Breakfast was good with a good choice, being remote, eating out in the evening not easy, so ate at the hotel, a limited fixed menu, quality was OK, but not excellent. I would definitely stay there again if in the area. I pre booked tickets for the Basilica, staying at the hotel gave free access, only 4 Euros so not a bank breaker. Very peaceful.

10/10 Exceptional

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 Very 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.

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.
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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?

Un lugar diferente que merece la pena conocer.

No me informaron que no había personal de recepción por la noche ni pude consultar con nadie cuando dejé la llave de la habitación al salir. Resultado: cuando regresé de madrugada, no pude entrar en la habitación. A pesar de ello, el sitio es monumental y merece la pena conocerlo. Habitaciones austeras pero cómodas y diferentes a lo que puedes encontrar en un hotel convencional. Disponen de un menú diario de 18€ muy bueno

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.
