Lots of positives and the location is excellent. but overpriced and on our stay, the breakfast/restaurant staff couldn't cope with the numbers ... Offered a free lunch on the charming roof top terrace pool area which was lovely Certainly a quiet retreat from the bustling traffic outside the door... more

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit Barcelona recently without the children, and so I wanted to book a quality hotel that would not disappoint. I chose the hotel 1898 mainly based upon tripadvisor reviews and we thought the hotel was absolutely fabulous. The location is as near perfect as you could find being on La Rambla. It... more

I chose 1898 on the basis on TripAdvisor reviews and as usual was not disappointed - the location, just off Las Ramblas near Placa Catalunya is central and excellent. The hotel is quirky and full of history but styled recently very similar to the Hotel du Vin chain in the UK (good). The hotel is clean and well appointed and... more

Hotel 1898 is a unique, trendy property in the heart of the action, Las Ramblas. We booked the hotel for three nights starting Monday April 28th. We didn’t arrive until 4:15 PM and so the 3 pm check-in time was a non-issue. We had reserved a superior room and we were given Room 445, facing Las Ramblas. - Ok, so... more

We had just one night to spend in Barcelona and wanted a central location and comfort to recover from jetlag, flying in from NY in the morning to start a month-long trip. Hotel 1898 was perfect on all counts; our room was ready when we arrived mid-morning, the decor was sophisticated, the room was super-comfortable, the personnel welcoming and the... more

The Hotel 1898 was amazing. Every detail in the hotel is incredible, starting with the gorgeous rooftop bar, amazing spa/bath facilities, and non-stop Charlie Chaplin movies playing in the stunning lobby. The staff was terrific, the beds huge and comfortable. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. I literally had not a single complaint (and I'm a difficult,... more

The hotel is nice and the spot is ideal: you're IN the city. But the service is totally different with so many rooms for improvement it became not acceptable. Room cleaning was not done at 4:30pm! Room cleaning involves your active action: there is always something missing! Spa really need to be cleaned (avoid the hammam). Breakfast service is unefficient... more

Stayed in this hotel in Sept 07, choosing it after seeing it was located right on Las Ramblas, and No1 on Trip Advisor for Barcelona. Never got round to reviewing it, partly because it was just as good as everyone said and there was nothing to add. But now I see it has slipped to No3 - probably because other... more
