Reviews of Monastère du Val de Consolation

Friendly staff. Atmospheric location - not least when a thunderstorm passed overhead

This hotel is that I will remember most from my 15 day motorcycle tour to the Pyrenees. Unique with its old monastery environment. Don't get lost, I did :-) The food and dessert are served in glass jars, which worked really well, but unusual. Very nice hostess. As I said, an awesome experience.

Beautiful monastery with many original features, huge rooms that have been adapted to become ensuite so showers are small but they work perfectly. Wonderful location in the woods with waterfalls nearby. We enjoyed the evening event with DJ that was happening outside. Staff were really nice, breakfast was good.

This is not a dislike but be aware there is nothing else nearby in terms if restaurants and shops

The location is very scenic

It is a very basic accomodation. The restaurant is very simple and no alternatives nearby.

Really different lots of history around the building and grounds

Very basic but it’s a welcome experience on your travels

Beautiful location. Excellent staff and comfortable property

Stunning area

Dinner

It was existing and very relaxing place to stay, with the very beautiful view and landscape around the place.

The attitude of the manager was amazing , she was really caring and patient with us, as we arrived late due to traffic on the way.

Beautiful surroundings, in the middle of nowhere. No signal, but there is a wifi by the reception. Basic accommodation, but the beds are very comfortable. Breakfast basic, but good.Great place to walk around.

Amazing buildings in a spectacular valley. Lovely gardens. Large, well equipped rooms. Really friendly and helpful staff. What a fantastic place.

The kitchen facilities are a bit limited if you are self-catering. It was actually ok for us as we were the only ones cooking, but if more than one group wanted to cook simultaneously it would be tricky.

The accommodations are basic but acceptable for the price. The location is what makes this so special. It is a beautiful area, the hiking is outstanding and it is wonderfully quiet.

We came here because we love the location and the monastery. It’s a beautiful place and if you are religious / Catholic, or if you enjoy pleasant hikes in the countryside, this place is for you. It’s important to keep in mind that this is a former monastery and the current managers are in the process of renovating it. The building itself is quite charming, and there is a Catholic chapel attached to the monastery that is always open.

There are a few things that would make the property much more comfortable. For instance, equipping each room with a small fridge would really help. The beds are single beds and they are quite short - I’m 177cm tall so not the tallest around and my feet were touching the end of the bed. Our room (104) had its own toilet and shower. It’s very convenient and private, but it is a tiny space. It’s basically a wet room. It’s much better than shared facilities (some rooms have to share) but it is small. The breakfast is nice, but the selection is quite limited. Again, this is likely due to the fact that this monastery is remote.

The location is good for a nice walk

Genuinely lovely place with real charm. Staff were extremely kind and helpful and the building has been sympathetically restored leaving the right balance of original features and discrete modernisation. Lovely view of the garden from our window.

Welcoming staff, great breakfast and beautiful place. A must see and experience !

Nothing

The bathroom was way too small
