Reviews of Hotel & Spa Monasterio de Boltaña 5 stars

Everything perfect

Amazing location and great atmosphere. The SPA is very well equipped and has great staff. Massage was unforgettable.

Even in summer, supposedly not high season, feels a little bit too expensive, albeit impressive service.

Really lovely building and pool area. Room and lounges stylish.

Not much, we checked in too late to reserve a table at the restaurant though

Hotel is beautiful, charismatic, very well maintained and clean. Bar and dining area were exceptional. Difficult to think how this could be any better for the money. Bedroom was above expectation and a/c worked well. One of the most enjoyable hotel stays I've ever had.

I can't think of anything.

It's an extraordinary hotel, very comfortable and in an excellent location.

Luxurious hotel, courteous and professional staff, lovely outdoor swimming pool. Our double room was very comfortable with a large en suite which included a bath. The buffet breakfast had a good selection of high quality food.

The photographs which I thought were of the indoor swimming pool were of the spa which cost €25 per person per hour.

Agreeable stay, good diner and pool

The bed was very comfortable. Excellent location. The pool was nice.

Restaurant was a disappointment. We had been served our appetisers, and within 5 minutes, I saw a waiter approaching what looked like exactly our mains order. As soon as he realizes that we are still all eating, he stops and moves to another waiter, obviously puzzled. Short conversation with worried looks towards our table and, sure enough, the waiter takes the food he had back to the kitchen. A couple of minutes later, another waiter asks if we were finished with the starters, when one of us has food in her mouth and is clearly still eating. She is a slower eater, and so it is another 5 minutes before she finishes. Within 1 minute, the starters are cleared and the mains are on our table. These were beef dishes and all were tepid if not cold. We probably should have complained about the fact that having made a massive mistake with their timing should not be remedied with just giving the customer cold dishes, but I was honestly too tired after a long day for an argument. Still in the restaurant of a 5 star hotel (indeed any good hotel) I would have expected better. The impression is that the staff is a bit overwhelmed. For the price, I would definitively go somewhere else for dinner.

Great location. Big parking lot right in front of the hotel. The pool was amazing – I didn’t think I would use it, but we ended up relaxing there almost every day after long walks. There’s also a restaurant for dinner. Right from the hotel, there’s a beautiful hiking trail that takes a couple of hours and goes through very different landscapes (including a church on a hill). I’m really glad I chose this hotel instead of staying in Aínsa, as I originally planned. Staying in Aínsa doesn’t make much sense – it’s easier to just drive there from Boltaña in 5 minutes.

I didn’t like the breakfast. Maybe for the area it’s considered varied, but there were almost no hot dishes (they could at least offer some kind of porridge). The coffee from the machines was terrible – it tasted different every time. The staff at breakfast were not friendly, even a bit rude. Also, the plates were really small and uncomfortable to use.

Location, large room, dining room staff

You book the look of the main building and you get a room in an annex that has a holiday inn vibe

Nice monastery 3 minutes outside Ainsa. We really enjoyed our stay, the apartment is renovated, clean, large rooms, large shower rooms, overall high standards. Quite, parking, nature - there's a nice stream outside, and you can walk uphill and swim in the stream not far away. There's a small fridge and a coffee machine. Thank you.

No kitchen.

Wonderful hotel with very good restaurant

As I mentioned earlier in the survey, both my wife & I thought all the facilities were excellent. We didn’t venture into the Spa, as this was a working trip, on our way to Mallorca. We will probably be back, maybe next year. Hadn’t seen the “before”, but we thought that the conversion “after” has been tastefully carried out to retain many historical features, particularly the internal stonework - including the chapel. We intentionally chose a room in the original building, right next to the chapel. Wonderful. Although we didn’t venture into any of the “villas” - they were also well finished off - especially good for small families. Pool area, provided adequate personal privacy, with great service from staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent breakfast , with choices in most categories. Main dining area was well designed with the wood beams/ trusses adding some matching character. However, see our comments on the food. Yes, many pleasing features,including the location.

Breakfast apart, the food was somewhat disappointing . . . . and although completely understand how the business has to both “appeal” and at the same time pay the wages / be profitable - so some cost saving has to result somewhere, therefore have to reluctantly say . . . . the bar food was awful. Food in the main restaurant was better e.g. for the evening meal - however, the breakfast did the trick in both choice and quality. Sorry!

Stunning building & very comfortable room. Varied breakfast

Nothing not to like...

Pool, breakfast

Coffee machines (and coffee) were worse on our trip in Spain (of 5 hotels), would expect better on this level.

An oasis of luxury and peace, in a beautiful region of Spain. The perfect base for a motorcycle trip, and a great place to relax. Highly recommend, and a beautiful , interesting building too, filled with beautiful art pieces.

Nothing. Everything was great.
