My wife and I have been blessed to do a fair amount of traveling in the US and abroad. We have stayed at some exceptional hotels, but the experience we had staying at the H1898 in Barcelona tops them all. This is a true gem, run in a manner that makes guests feel like royalty. When we return once again to Barcelona, we will stay at the H1898. We give this hotel the highest recommendation possible.
Hotel 1898 was charming, beautiful, and located perfectly for our purposes (couple on first-time trip to Barcelona). It's on La Rambla 200 metres from Placa Catalunya, 10 minutes walk to the heart of the Barri Gotica. Obviously, it's an very busy area with no end of activity. We had a "classic" room on an interior courtyard. We would have upgraded had it not been such a busy season--prices were astronomical all over Barcelona. More light would have been welcome. The couryard also funneled music at all hours--sometimes karaoke, sometimes technopop--apparently from the rooftop bar. Not sure what the noise situation would be facing the streets. Decor was very stylish, the bed was large and comfortable, and the bathroom, while a bit tight, was well-organized and functional. The staff was outstanding. Front-desk staff very welcoming; housekeeping and maintenance very accommodating. No official concierge, but the desk staff--Jaime in particular--put real effort and expertise into advising on sights and picking out restaurants. We had dinner on the rooftop (so-so selection of tapas) and breakfast (high-priced but overwhelming amount of excellent food). Beautiful views. We'd go back, but we'd spring for a superior room facing a street next time.
We would definitely use this hotel again. The terrace overlooking the Ramblas was a lovely place to relax & have a drink. Very nice hotel - we enjoyed our stay.
Loved our stay in Barcelona at this hotel. We booked a superior room. It was well appointed and had everything you would need. Service was great at front desk who helped with restaurant bookings etc. Top-level pool and bar was great in the hot weather and the view from there was wonderful. I would definitely stay here again.
What can I say....PERFECT! The terrace on the roof had a very nice relaxing area with pool and a splendid view of Barcelona.
excellent location; outstanding indoor and outdoor pool; excellent roof top breakfast; rigid check-in process at 3 pm; extreme poor sound isolation between room and floor.
The hotel is fantastic, the location is super convenient and the rooms are wonderful. However, it is too pricey and the front desk staff are not very accommodating. Maybe it's the culture.
Very warm welcome, excellant room facilities and views of the city. Very convenient location for seeing the sights.
Excellent hotel in perfect centre location. Highly recommended for (romantic) weekend break!
We loved this hotel. Situated right at the heart of Barcelona, the location could not be better. The decor is exceptional and I've never seen anywhere that is cleaned as often and as thoroughly. Highly recommended!
I would highly recommend this hotel - excellent service - very friendly, helpful & efficient. Great location - right beside all the bars, restaurants & shops & only a few minutes from the beach. I would definitely stay there again.
Best Hotel I have stayed in in Barcelona, hope I will be able to go back some time for a holiday break.
I stayed at this hotel 17th - 20th July 2006. It was excelent in terms of service, location and facilities.
This is a jewel of a hotel in the heart of Barcelona. As we arrived before 3pm check in time - at 12.30 our room was not ready but our luggage was safely stowed away and was in our room on our return. The decor is ultra modern throughout. The rooms are state of the art, with adjustable air conditioning, lighting and a plasma flatscreen TV, although Sky News was the only english speaking channel. We were in the heart of Barcelona but the sound proofing was superb. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms luxurious, with a selection of shower heads, slippers and bathrobes provided etc. The sauna, jacuzzi and pool (while not large) was a delight to use. All the staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with and had very gd english. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone and would love to return to it some day. To the utter delight of my companion there was a Star Bucks next door and a market with fresh fruit, vegs, juices and sweets to die for!
Disappointed in standard of cleaniness on arrival there was hair all over the shower wall and taps of which we had to wash away
Hotel is in an excellent position, very friendly staff one of the best hotels for the money. Hotel is brand new. We will be going back soon.
I STAYED HERE ON MY BIRTHDAY AND I ENJOYED THE PLACE. THE HOTEL STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL.
Lovely hotel. Friendly staff. Good food.
