Hotel 1898  

Un hotel excelente, muy bien ubicado y con buenas instalaciones. Las habotaciones tienen un sofisticado sistema de iluminación pudiendo creaer diferentes ambientes. El desayuno impecable, hace tiempo que no acompañaba mango con una copa de cava...

El sistema de aa estaba un tanto inaccesible en el lateral del armario con escasa visibilidad sobre la pantalla.

Su situación cercana al Liceo. Tine unas habitaciones cómodas y limpias y la atención del personal es muy buena.

Todo fue excelente, la limpieza de la habitaciones, y la atención del hotel perfecta, no dudaría en volver.La ubicación todo en general y el precio está acorde a la oferta que brindan.

Excelente ubicacion, una terraza con un bar espectacular, sobre todo para el verano. Excelente atencion. Te consiguen un buen servicio de guias, y tours.

La calidad del servicio y la decoracion, de primer nivel

Absolutamente todo. Es un hotel espléndido, decorado con gran gusto y estilo. La estancia se hace muy agradable

la ubicacion y la decoracion,aunque en el salon central la calefaccion era escasa

su confort, su situación y su calidad

al llegar hicimos una petición de cambio de baterias en la caja fuerte y cuando nos fuimos tres días después todavía no lo habían cambiado. Un hotel de esta categoría no puede tener estos fallos.

At the moment we walked through the doors, we were impressed. The decor was fabulous and very spacious. Several sitting areas for different conversations. The front desk was very friendly and helpful with all our needs. The bell man that took up out luggage was very friendly also, and told us all about what the room supplied. The room itself was absolutely fabulous!!! Very spacious and clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in, and the room was dark and so quiet. The shower was great and the towels soft and huge. The lobby bar was quite nice also. Very helpful staff and friendly. Overall, we would highly recommend Hotel 1898. We would absolutely stay there again!!! Loved the experience!!!!

The hotel has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, especially in the public areas, it is in a fantastic location, with all the main attractions of Barcelona within walking distance. The bed was comfortable and I especially liked that we could control the heating in the room. The spa area indoors is well worth a visit, very relaxed and private. Generally, the hotel is well run and the staff are all very helpful yet unobtrusive. Much preferred it to the Arts and Claris Hotels which I stayed in earlier in the year.

We paid way over the odds for our 'delux' room, which although very comfortable was also very small. When I enquired about this I was told that the rooms which are actually a grade below - the 'privilege' rooms are actually bigger! However, we wanted a room with a terrace and therefore paid for the delux room. The bathroom was tiny, with a shower over the bath and the water pressure was not strong at all. Another issue which would be easily remedied was that there was one english T.V. channel - the news, I would expect that in this day and age to have a bit more choice, as there are for German and French speaking guests. The cost of food and beverages in the hotel are ridiculously high, bit of bad business sense really as guests would spend more if they lowered their prices to within normal levels, as the choice of restaurants and cafes nearby make it easy to opt for the cheaper option!

Everything.

Breakfast should be included in the room price. 23 euro per person for breakfast is excessive.

The hotel is beautifully appointed. The staff was extremely well trained and helpful. The room was very well thought out and luxurious. Perfect, really. The roof deck, pools, and exercise facilities are superb. The location on the Rambla has its positives and negatives- on the positive side, it's very close to most of the major attractions in Barcelona-- the Gothic Quarter, Born, and shopping. Also, it's a short run down the Ramblas (in the morning, before the crowds arrive) to the waterfront, where one can run along the beach for several miles. Subway lines are very close by.

If you aren't okay with being on one of the busiest streets in Europe... The crowds, noise and hustle and bustle-- it's like staying in Times Square in nyc-- then I would recommend staying at a different hotel. We did not find the street noise a problem, as the hotel is very well insulated. For us, sometimes schlepping through the slow moving horde of people on the Rambla was an inconvenience. Although we did not have any problems, the Rambla is notorious for pick pockets and other street hustlers and one has to be alert at all times and protect your valuables and personal space.
