Enough for all the monks to each have their own bed.
It follows that the size of the dormitory depended on how many monks lived in the abbey - and that number was different from one abbey to another, and often changed over time. Only the abbot lived apart from the rest of the monks, since he had his own lodgings away from the central cloister ranges.
To take just one example, at Milton Abbey in Dorset there were 40 Saxon monks before the Norman Conquest; there may have been 40 in the 12th century; by 1344 there were only 23 monks; on 27 January 1417 there were 15 monks; at the Dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in the 1530s there were only 12 monks.
Major abbeys in the 12th century generally housed 60 to 100 monks, but the largest (Christ Church Canterbury) was home to 150.

What are medieval abbey's?
Medieval abbeys were churchs were nuns went to pray ----------------------------------------- Answer: Medieval Abbeys were monasteries where an Abbot or Abbess was in charge of a community of monks or nuns. They were generally much larger than Priories, which had a Prior or Prioress in charge. An Abbey had a very large church (sometimes as big as a cathedral), a cloister surrounded by the main monastic buildings (refectory, Chapterhouse, dormitory, storehouse, warming-room and library) and other buildings beyond these: a guest-house, kitchen, barns, brew-house, bakery, infirmary, gardens, a cemetery, orchards, beehives and so on, all within a walled enclosure or precinct. Abbeys could control Priories in the same area, as well as some parish churches; they also owned large amounts of farmland and monastic farms called granges. An example is St Augustine's Abbey at Canterbury in Kent, which controlled Canterbury Cathedral Priory (even though the archbishop was based there) - it also owned many of the surrounding villages, including the seaside town of Sandwich which provided huge stocks of fish for the monks to eat.
