Hotel 1898

Great Location, especially for first time visit to Barcelona

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.

lied about room

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.....

Very nice hotel, amazing location!

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel has impeccable service and very nice, although somewhat small for the price of rooms. The location is great, right on Las Ramblas, the best in Barcelona. It can get noisy if your room looks out on Las Ramblas itself, because there tend to be a lot of noisy people walking along it late at night. My advice, get a room looking out elsewhere, trust me, you won't be sitting by the window looking at the street anyway. Their rooms have 4 different colorways: green, black, beige and red. I highly recomment NOT getting a red one, it just not relaxing. Bring some bubble bath, they have a very nice tub in the room. If you are there with friends book a room with a terrace, it is really nice to sit there and have a glass of wine. Breakfast is not included and it is 21 euros a pop. But a great open market La Boqueria is right next to the hotel with all kinds of fruit juices, pastries, coffee and such, an amazing oragnic deli: Organic is Orgasmic, and there is a Starbucks adjacent to the hotel that unlike the American ones serves fresh squeezed OJ and very good muffins and yogurts, so don't even bother with the hotel breakfast. Wireless nternet is free, but the quality is not that good on the upper floors and outside of the lobby.
