Hotel 1898  

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!

Great hotel right along the Rambles and walking distance to many places. A super market just 2 mins walk away, 5 mins to metro ..

Location, excellent rooms, quality hotel and matched by the well trained staff who were only too willing to assist. Certainly not the cheapest but having a 5 day stay, wanted something a bit above the average and this hotel certainly delivered. Being situated right on La Rambla, one couldn't ask for more.

Outstanding hotel! We had a one night post cruise stay in Barcelona and were extremely pleased with this beautiful hotel. The location is great, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the room was very comfortable and had luxurious amenities, the atmosphere and food were also excellent. The roof terrace was a great place to enjoy wine and appetizers. We will definitely stay here again.

Excellent location right on Las Ramblas. Rooms very comfortable. The beds/pillows are amazing. Great rooftop bar and pool. We were travelling with a small baby. A nice travel cot was provided and even though quite a luxurious hotel they were extremely welcoming and accommodating with our son

Only disappointment was that the hotel seemed to struggle to produce a decent cup of tea!

Very luxurious and great service.

My sister and I recently stayed at Hotel 1898 to celebrate my 50th birthday. I was most impressed by the service we received from all staff, from the lovely ladies cleaning our room to the bar staff serving on the roof terrace (fantastic views and very comfy sofas!) and the staff serving breakfast.Nothing was too much trouble and genuine smiles on the faces of all the staff leads me to believe Hotel 1898 must be a great place to work!!. I would have to say say we received 6 star plus service!, Many thanks for making my birthday memorable!

We had a standard room overlooking an internal courtyard which only had a very small window, it was lovely and quiet great for a good nights sleep! But quite dark.We kept forgetting to insert the room key for power so ended up groping around in the dark a few times until we found our key! . No other complaints as the room was spacious and the bathroom gorgeous.

Location was ideal. Facilities were good & public areas welcoming.

Classic rooms were very small & difficult to maintain room temperatures due to air conditioning unit causing a draft in such a small room.

I thought Hotel 1898 was a very good quality hotel. Our room, the leisure area, leisure facilities and public areas were all to a very high standard. The location is excellent right at the entrance to Las Ramblas. I will definetly stay at this hotel again if I make a return leisure trip. A small point but for me free WiFi is a must in holiday hotels and the Hotel 1898 system connected perfectly.

The flat screen tv in the room was excellent however when paying for such a high quality hotel I would expect a better channel selection with Sky Sports etc available.

Brilliant

A wonderful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The basement swimming pool is excellent - very relaxing and atmospheric. A real treat.

Hotel's location is superb. Corner room is large and wonderful. Free Wi- Fi. Roof's top Bar & Pool are the most relaxing place. Wonderful design with excellent service made an magnificent vacation. Highly recommended.
