Hotel 1898

Superb

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.

Great Stay

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.

Loved this Hotel!

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!

Great hotel, check your AC

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.

Great 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.

Great Hotel

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.

Lovely Hotel in a Wonderful Area

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.

Beautiful

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!

Hotel 1898 on La Rambla

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.

Exceptional Hotel

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.

Fabulous Hotel in Barcelona

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.

Luxury and Location

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

Amazing Hotel, especially for money

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.
