Lock in a great price for Hotel 1898 – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Loved the decor of the place the rooms are very nice size and bathrooms also very comfortable

Home, Australia

The rooms were lovely, the staff were very nice and Amanda on Reception was amazing. Answered all my questions and booked everything for me on the spot. The roof top terrace is a gem with a fantastic vibe and lovely views. Didn't have time to try out the pool, but it looks inviting. Food not that great on the rooftop terrace but I still had a wonderful time up there on 3 occasions in 2 days. I had a room overlooking Las Ramblas (there aren't many). It's not that noisy, but there's also not much to see either because of the trees. The hotel has plenty of other rooms looking over less noisier streets which may be cheaper? If you want decadence, there are 3 penthouses with private pools for around €1000/nite and they are amazing!

Sharon, Australia

Great value and location. Helpful and knowledgable staff

Grant, Australia

Excellent location, very good facilities, quiet despite central position

John, United Kingdom

We enjoyed the fact that the hotel was on the busiest street but inside the hotel it was quiet elegant and the staff very accommodating.

Zvi, Israel

Wonderful three days, we especially enjoyed the roof top terrace for drinks and tapas, with the amazing views. The hotel is right on La Ramblas, so within walking distance to all the shops and many museums. The staff were very friendly and courteous, and went out of their way to make our stay special. The bed was so comfortable, and the marbled bathroom well equipped for lovely long soak after walking for miles. The breakfast had was good, a large selection on the buffet, although the small bowl for the scrambled eggs freshly cooked, kept running out, but saying that , at least it wasn't the rubbery stuff kept warm for hours you see in most breakfast buffets. Excellent hotel, a bit pricey, but there again you do get what you pay for.

Maxine, British Virgin Islands

We liked the neighborhood , the roof top, the spa. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly.

Georgette, Lebanon

Staff was excellent, location was fabulous, really enjoyed our stay. Hotel 1898 is one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at. They are at the top end of La Ramblas. You can walk down the pedestrian thoroughfare to the beach or go North to the beginning of the more modern areas in Barcelona. We had a wonderful visit to the City. We didn't even have a chance to enjoy the rooftop area that overlooks the entire city. We lingered there for a few minutes one morning & really enjoyed the views.

Howard, United States of America

The location was right in the middle of everything. A lot of things to see within walking distance

Pete, United States of America

Location on La Rambla is fantastic easy to access the market, Champagne Bar and the best restaurants. Hotel beds and pillows are really comfortable and the rooms spacious

눉Shower in the bathtub is extremely dangerous. Slippery with an unbelievably low pressure rain head up at the curve end of the tub. Impossible to wash body or hair safely. The hand held shower nozzle (which you can trip over also as it lays in the bath) has decent water pressure though.
눇The rooms were lovely, the staff were very nice and Amanda on Reception was amazing. Answered all my questions and booked everything for me on the spot. The roof top terrace is a gem with a fantastic vibe and lovely views. Didn't have time to try out the pool, but it looks inviting.

눉We stayed at the Hotel 1898 last year and we noticed a very slight deterioration in the maintenance of facilities - e.g. not all the water features in the indoor swimming area worked, some of the light fittings in the room. It would be a shame if these minor issues were not addressed as generally the hotel facilities and staff are excellent
눇Excellent location, very good facilities, quiet despite central position

눉We changed our room twice.One of the drawbacks with booking is that you do not know the real suze of the room.Standard rooms do not mean anything because they change in size in different countries.Need to know exact size in metres and a good picture of every type of room
눇We enjoyed the fact that the hotel was on the busiest street but inside the hotel it was quiet elegant and the staff very accommodating.

“Great Grotto, needs some special attention to details for 5 star”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉To be 5 star They need to 1) supply hair conditioner 2) improve room service so that one can order coffee before 7am (or improve the coffee in each room from horrible instant coffee to Nespresso machines or something similar) 3) improve water pressure from shower heads 4) install Full length mirrora so you can tell what you look life from head to toe 5) change hair driers so you don't have to have constant engagement of the 'on' button- they only work when you fully depress the button which makes it very difficult to do a full blow dry/styling
눇I travelled with work colleagues (you need to include that in your questionnaire as 'partner' has a different connotation. I love the grotto

눉Staff was extremely unfriendly and service was poorer compared to previous years. - Checked me in with 1.5 hour delay - Service at the pool was poor and our guests were not even allowed to stay by the pool even though our group had 4 hotel rooms - A member of the hotel threatened to call security and kick a friend out of the Hotel - Waiter for lunch was extremely unprofessional and nervous despite we had lunch for 15 people and paid 700 EUR - I asked for late checkout and they only gave me 30 minute delay.

눉breakfast too expensive; the location - just on La Rambla - is very annoying when you do go out (way too touristy and busy) but the hotel itself is indeed a very good choice
눇Stayed in the deluxe 5th floor room with private terrace - that terrace was absolutely the best thing about the whole stay. Spacious and comfortable. A nice surprise too to receive a complimentary bottle of cava as welcome.
