Hotel 1898 - Barcelona 41.38376, 2.17112

Booked this hotel since it was recommended by a cruise line and read reviews. Glad I stayed. Convenient for walking challenged. Beautiful pools and rooftop view. Staff was very helpful with tourist info. Unbelievable!!! Hotel does seem to cater to business class. Breakfast was very pricey. Explore the streets. Bar is very nice. I would go back. In the elevator I asked people if they were happy with the hotel and would go back. Always got a yes. One lady was on her third stay. Do not worry about the high price meals. Starbucks and the restaurants on Santa Ana are worthwhile exploring. Living Barcelona restaurant makes a wonderful esparrecs bladers (asparagus appertizer). The attached church is recommened. Explore and experience!

Excellant location right in the midst of La Rumblas. Very modern room, nice amenities, accomodating staff -- everything we wanted for a few days R&R. I would choose it again if I needed a hotel in that area.

This hotel is right smack in the middle of La Rambla yet when you go inside you would never know you were on one of the busiest streets in Barcelona. The building which was build in 1898 looks very gothic outside but has been renovated in a very modern yet classy, chic way. Beautiful hardwood floors, lots of marble and impeccably clean. The staff were extremely professional, fluent in English and quite helpful. Absolutely I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to experience the hustle & bustle of La Rambla but the quiet and comfort of a first class and somewhat extravagant hotel. It wasn't cheap but not overly costly as compared to some hotels. Very much worth every Euro.

Hotel 1898 is absolutely lovely! The staff was kind as our luggage was delayed and they worked diligently to contact us before we left for our cruise. Exceptional location!!!! Easy walking to various sites. Gorgeous room, wonderful rooftop with grand views of city. Clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the express breakfast that was perfect before our day of siteseeing. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Hotel 1898!

Excellent service from the moment we arrived to departure. Restaurant staff could not do enough for us. Room was beautifully decorated and beds were very comfortable. Outstanding amenities. Rooftop bar a bit pricey, but the views were worth the price.

Overall the H1898 was a great stay in Barcelona. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice get-away. The location is great as it was close to many areas to walk to. The spa pool was very nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Easy walk to everything you need to see on your first visit. Located directly on the Rambla and next to the Boqueria, which can make it a bit noisy if your room faces the street. Hotel is clean and luxurious, rooms small but not too small. Nice bathroom. Best feature is the roof top bar. EXCELLENT sangria and tapas.

It has good quality and provide free internet. I was satified with the convenience and cleanliness. But, It's a little bit expensive. Although I recommend it to you

We enjoyed our stay. Customer service was excellent and the room was nicely furnished. I will definitely come back.

My husband and I travel alot in Europe and love boutique hotels. Hotel 1898 was the best hotel we have ever stayed. The rooftop was wonderful, the pool and sauna in the basement was very nice, and everyone there was so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect! We started off each morning with breakfast at the market just a block away. We will stay there again!

Our stay at Hotel 1898 was a fantastic experience! We were impressed from the moment we stepped into this plushly and tastefully decorated lobby. Rich woods, comfy couches and helpful staff! And all this before we ever got to our rooms The location is awesome! Our ship arrived in port long before check-in time, so we left our luggage with the bellman and headed out to explore La Ramba. Whatever you are looking for is available there. As soon as you walk out the door you are immediately immersed in the heart of the city. Do not miss the outdoor market just a block or so down the street. The rooms were large by European standards and beautifully decorated. The beds were firm and comfy. Bathrooms excellently appointed. And do not miss the rooftop pool area and the spa pool in the basement. I would happily return to this hotel in a heartbeat!!!

Barcelona on the doorstep. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommended.

I can't imagine a better hotel in Barcelona. The location was perfect. The hotel is beautiful and the room was gorgeous. The pool area/bar/lounge on the roof is a perfect oasis.

This hotel is very nice. Free wifi in room. Lots of amenities. Love the design and the bar downstairs. Only complaint was our AC stopped working and it took 2 days to get fixed.

Very well designed hotel, access to free internet, was able to print boarding passes easily and free. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

This high quality hotel is perfectly located on the bustling La Rambla. We requested 2 quiet rooms and that is exactly what we got, including the air con which I usually find annoying. The room safe was large enough for the laptop. The wi fi was easy to use and was free throughout the hotel and also worked well on the roof terrace. There was a kettle(unusual for Spanish hotels) and an assortment of teabags and coffee etc. The only thing that I could be slightly critical of is the lack of a mirror over the dressing table. However, this wasn't a problem as I always take my own anyway. The highlight for us was undoubtedly the roof terrace! The drinks were very expensive but we thought worth every cent. I would highly recommend this hotel.

More than met ou rexpectations, hotel was in great location, very upscale, firendky staff. Room was very clean, large and comfortable, it included a smal balacony allowing you to sit out for morning coffee etc. Highly recommended.

This was a lovely, clean and comfortable hotel with an exciting decor. The staff was helpful and the location was in the heart of the action. There is a great rooftop deck/bar that was a nice place to unwind with a book and drink. While the hotel was on La Ramblas we were not impacted by the street noise at all. The hotel is close to wonderful restaurants. Metro stops near the hotel made other areas of the city easily accessible.

The hotel was in a great location, right on La Rambla! It was clean and well maintained, although it did get a bit noisy at times (very thin walls). Great rooftop terrace that overlooks the city. Nice hardwood floors but room a bit small. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

We stayed at Hotel 1898 for 3 days and had a wonderful time. It is right on the Rambla, but it is not too noisy. The hotel is clean and modern, with lovely decor. It isn't inexpensive, and the rooms are not large, but for a European resort, it is quite reasonable. There is a Starbucks next door, so you don't need the buffet breakfast, and there are many terrific and interesting restaurants nearby. Hotel 1898 is only a few minutes to the Barcelona Turist bus routes, and these are great for seeing the city. You don't get a view from many of the rooms, but if you want a hotel on the Rambla, it is great.

I always read these reviews and never write them, by this hotel is fantastic. Rooms are small but very cool. The entire hotel is immaculate. I spent more time in the basement grotto than I did seeing Barcelona!

This hotel was perfectly located in Barcelona. All of the personnel were knowedgable about restaurants and area attractions. WHen we needed taxis, they prompty caled one and made sure that we knew the cost before getting inside. Our room overooked a courtyard restaurant that got a little noisey at night, but it wasn't so bad that we coudn't sleep. The breakfast buffet was a itte pricey but had an outstanding variety of seectins and fresh foods. The afternoon tea is fun and relaxing at the end of a day of sightseeing and shopping.

We only went to Barcelona for 2 ngts and this hotel was fantastic. From entering, the staff were friendly, courteous and at all times helpful. Bedroom was so comfortable and spotless. Great location, barcelona on your doorstep! Would highly recommend it!

If you want to treat yourself after a busy day in Barcelona this is the place to stay!!! Beautiful room and swimming pool was awesome! Perfect location! But remember: You are in Barcelona city center the busiest avenue....expect some buzz and noise!!!

Hotel 1898 is located in the heart of the Las Ra next to Starbucks. Large king bed with 4 different pillow softnesses to choose from. We had a corner room with lots of windows. Big bath and great towels. Tea and coffee maker in room.

Everything about this hotel was perfect; the location, the staff, the room size, cleanliness and amentities all exceeded our expectations. The rooftop bar/lounge was a great way to end an evening. Location was great with all of the local feel right outside the front door.

First time in Barcelona, but not the last, and the same thoughts for hotel 1898. We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights but wished it could have been longer. The room was beautiful and kept perfectly clean. The hotel in general was immaculate. We tried the indoor swimming pool and spa, this was first class. If you go to Barcelona go to H1898.

The location is excellent perfect for sightseeing and going to bars, restaurants museums shops etc. Wonderful rooftop terrace and basement spa. Close to metro and bus links to and from airport. Staff speak good english and very helpful. Definately not a budget hotel but good value and perfect for a special holiday.

I was a bit nervous when we entered the lobby of the hotel - looked a bit "gothic, but the room was great - large bed, good pillows, great bathroom with a tub and very clean. Our air conditioning did not work, but after two tries by maintenance we had AC before going to sleep. The staff has good English speaking skills, and are very friendly. Loved the location...on a quiet side street just off Las Ramblas (major street where all the "action" is). Skip the 20E breakfast - several good eating places just around the corner from the hotel.

unreal place

FABULOUS HOTEL,GREAT STAFF,GREAT LOCATION,GREAT ROOM,ROOF TERRACE IS QUALITY,GREAT LEASURE CENTRE,REST/BAR ARE QUIET, BUT OK FOR NIGHT CAP.WORTH EVERY PENNY AND WOULD GO BACK TO-MORROW. AFTER A BUSY DAY AROUND BARCELONA ,

Hotel 1898 is a luxurious, beautiful hotel on La Rambla in Barcelona, easily located to see the sites on La Rambla or walk to the Gothic Quarter. Our concerns about noise on La Rambla were unfounded because all the public areas of the hotel are on the street side and the rooms in back. Our only complaint was, that after sleeping late one morning, there was no hot water in the shower. We heard another couple complaining about the same thing at check-out. We thought the hotel was a little pricey, but its location and condition were great.

The hotel is in an amazing location. The room was a bit small but not much different from a NY boutique hotel. I really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel 1898.

What a beautiful hotel! At the price we paid in the current hotel climate, my expectations were pretty low. But boy was I surprised - the hotel is an oasis in the midst of a very busy area, La Rambla, between Placa Catalunya and La Boqueria de San Josep. The lobby is beautiful and relaxing, with complimentary afternoon tea and cookies served every afternoon. The spa is fantastic - and the rooftop pool and bar, open till 10pm, offer beautiful views in all directions of the city and the surroundings mountains. Comfortable lounge chairs and sofas and a great, though a bit pricey, bar. What a delightful place to arrive to after our Mediterranean cruise. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Perfect hotel. Both modern and classic, right on Las Ramblas -- rooftop pool and bungalow and basement pool and spa. You won't be disappointed.

Great location. Hotel is very stylish and well kept. I would highly recommend.

High quality 4 star hotel in heart of it all. Amazing facilities (pool and rooftop were highlights of our trip) and service. Rooms were very comfortable with very nice bathrooms (real showers!). Right on La Rambla and near most of the shopping, food, and sites. PERFECTLY located. Will recommend to anyone going to Barca.

Right where you want to be on La Ramblas -Hotel room was ready when we arrived in the morning. Very accomodating staff. Fantastic to have a roof top pool !

This is an outstanding hotel in a great location. Loved the pool,bar on roof top and the room was lovely. Would recommend to anyone.

I booked a superior room over the classic room because I wanted the walk out porch. No problem until I got there and they tried to charge me 60 euro more than even a superior room. Room was IDENTICAL to classic room except for patio and wanted to charge more than double. They lied....unacceptable.....

We were in Barcelona 5 nights. The location is ideal for tourist - right on Las Ramblas. The investment in the finest decor and fixtures was impressive. Very contemporay. The Bed was very comfortable - they even have a choice of pillow thickness! The roof pool and patio are great, but the prices of the drinks up there were outrageous. No conceirge desk, but everyone at the main desk was very helpful. We would definetely stay there again. It was nice having a complete Starbucks right outside the front door.
