The rooms are very comfortable, enough space, clean and modern, although from outside you could think it is an old hotel. A little noisy if you have an external rooms, I recommend asking for a room inside.

1898 is a wonderful hotel. We enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect being right in the heart of Barcelona. There is a beautiful spa downstairs and a roof top bar and pool. The hotel common areas and our room were spotless. It is one of the cleanest hotels that we have even encountered. The reception staff was wonderful, meeting... More

Stayed for three nights in late May on a pre-cruise vacation. Hotel location can't be beat-close to everything and within walking distance to various transportation options Metro, bus, rent-a-bike, Las Ramblas, restaurants, full grocery store around the corner, etc. Check-in was the only complaint. Early check-in can be challenging. James, the attendant at the front desk, did his best to... More

Firstly, it is imperative that I mention how fantastic the location of this hotel is. It's right on Las Ramblas, a busy market-esque centre, and a few hundred metres in any direction takes you to into the heart of Barcelona. There were many options concerning transport, the metro less than five minutes walk away, bus stops and taxi points close... More

Second time at H1898. Great location on La Rambla. Fantastic rooftop bar with pool. Great cabanas, sofas, bar stools to catch some rays or watch the night time sky. The hotel is chic and very well done with hard wood floors. I traveled alone this time so I had a smaller room so that was ok. It had everything I... More

My daughter and I spent 2 nights, one before and one after a bike trip to the Pyrenees and Costa Brava. We both thought the hotel was outstanding. Nice room that was very quiet being so close to Las Ramblas. Staff was efficient and very courteous. Short walk down street to incredible Mercat market. I would stay there again for... More

This hotel is superbly situated directly on Las Ramblas, just 2 minutes walk from Paza de Catalunya,where all the tour buses and hop on off buses operate from. In addition to eat in the evening we were just a short stroll to the many resaurants of the old town, and the port was a 10 minute stroll. Breakfast was definitely... More

A wonderful hotel all around! Beautifully decorated, elegant yet modern with fantastic facilities that puts the Le Meridien next door to shame. Half of my group was staying at 1898 and the other half at Le Meridien. The rooms, the reception, the facilities were all newer, nicer and far better at 1898. The staff were always polite, friendly and helpful... More

We went on a family vacation. Had 3 rooms in the hotel for 3 nights, breakfast included. This is an excellent hotel. We couldn't have asked for anything better.. except an iron and some hair conditioner. But I have found that these are commonly missing items in European hotels. The location is right in the Las Ramblas area, the heart... More
