Stayed for a long weekend, the location is right in the heart of things, but not so that its noisy. the staff went out of their way to make us have a great stay. Champagne breakfast on the roof terrace was amazing! swimming pool very relaxing, all in all would recommend this hotel to anyone.

We arrived to find that our room was not available however this took only 10 mins to sort out and we had a realy nice room on the 4th floor at the side of the hotel. The breakfast which was included in our room cost was excelent and well presented. The heated roof top pool was a realy nice place to relax at the end of the day with good bar service, All in all a very nice place to stay and well positioned, would recomend to anyone.

The hotel is one of the nicest I have stayed in for a long time. As a family with twins of ten years old we need two rooms. Sadly Hotel 1898 does not have any interconnecting rooms. This turned out to be a real pain even though we were next to each other. It meant one adult and one child sleeping in each room. So our view really is that it is fabulous for couples, business people and families where the children are old enough to be in a room on their own, but for us it let us down.

Hotel is fantastic inside, but the best feature is the roof terrace, with shade, open areas & pool. No need to go to the beach, get covered in sand & fight the masses. Highly recommended.

Excellent Location ,Room and hotel generally spotless ,pleasant staff ,could not fault it , would recommend asking for a room with external veiw as some are situated around the central courtyard/lightwell. Would definately stay there again on our next trip to the city John and Kelly.....................................................Southampton

While rooms good, money making the objective, alcohol too expensive and staff on terrace very inflexible, wont be back

I would definitely come again

The rooms are comfortable & a decent size. The buffet breakfast is excellent every thing you could possibly want. We did have one evening meal at the hotel, this is possibly the only area for improvement,maybe the hotel could employ a more creative chef.

Rooms very small, hardly any draw space Disappointed only one basin in bathroom Rooftop terrace bar - couldn`t order a coffee, ordered an icecream and 20 mins later still hadn`t arrived! Spa swimmingpool very small and if you had two people on the floating beds there wasn`t enough room for two people to have a swim lengthwise.

Everything about the hotel was excellent - specially loved the spa and pool. Location great.

Great hotel with helpful friendly staff.

My friends and I were very impressed with hotel 1898. It is situated in a fanatastic location. The rooms were extremely comfortable. The roof top terrace, bar and heated pool were superb. The indoor spa and pool were great also. We could not have wished for anything more.

really enjoyed the brillant decor and freindly helpful staff.

This is a great hotel in a great location. We have stayed twice and had a fantastic time on both occasions. Rooms are luxurious and modern with massive comfy beds.

Excellent hotel - well situated - friendly efficient staff - good food - would certainly stay there again

The hotel staff were excellent and pleasant. Towels and sheets changed every day and sometimes towels twice per day. This was excellent. Spa great and I really enjoyed this. Maids kept rooms clean. Would have used the hotel for food if we had a better idea what they were offering. Too much fish and not enough for people who were none fish eaters. Also inviting people to come to hotel between 1700 and 1900 for free cup of tea- wallah - better a free drink possibly.

The hotel was immaculate and one of the best we have ever stayed in. We would definately recommend to anyone wishing a central location in Barcelona and they were very child friendly.

Superb location, extremely helpful staff, good restaraunt - would defintitely go back. Only slight drawback was that the rooms were too hot at night for my tastes and the air conditioning didn`t seem particularly effective.

Hotel in great location had rooms overlooking interior courtyard but these were very quiet and the staff looked after us very well. Towels changed on average twice a day, great breakfast spread. Worth the extra for such a lovely spa, heated roof top pool & great location. Much cheaper booking thro Hotel Direct.

ideal location,upon arrival we were given an upgrade room spec was to a high standard and it was cleaned twice a day.Breakfast offered a wide variety to cater for most palets.The roof top pool area is a great way to unwind and relax.The only complaint was the poorly stocked mini bar and no room service after 11pm.But would definatly stay at the hotel again.

Having just got back from Barcelona today I can highly recommend a stay at 1898 on La Rambla. The building itself is beautiful and is a perfect spot to see the city centre from on foot. Worth mentioning is the en-suite bathroom we had (standard room) which was better than some superior rooms I`ve stayed in. All in all it was ideal for our 3 day break. I can imagine the roof pool and terrace would be just what you`d need in the summer - for us there was a chill Northerly blowing which meant no swimming costumes needed....

Excellent stay - very polite staff - great spa and pools Don`t take concierge recommendation for tour bus - there are no bus stops, it`s got poor commentary and takes twice as long as expected.

This hotel is not worth the money they are charging. There is a distict lack of customer focus. The staff seems to be more interested in talking to each other than to provide the service they are there to give. Our stay was not helped by coming back tired to the hotel after 5 hours sight seeing and finding that the room had not been cleaned.

A truly superb hotel, worth every penny.

I would like to say that both my husband and I had a wonderful time at your hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms clean and well designed and the facilities excellent. We will definitely recommend you to others and if we return to Barcelona we will visit you again! Thanks for everything. Mr and Mrs Allen.

We had a wonderful stay, staff were very helpful and the breakfast was AMAZING! The roof top pool was really lovely and our room was kept very clean and tidy by friendly cleaning staff. The view was not the best from our room but the view from the hotal roof made up for it! Overall, thank you for helping us to really relax and enjoy our trip to what is a wonderful city.

I really enjoyed my time at hotel 1898. I was looking for somewhere really special to stay with my boyfriend in Barcelona and special i found! The hotel was perfect, staff were friendly and eager to please and the continental breakfast was exceptionally good. The only complaint i have was the size of our room, being quite small and the disappointing view. Had we stayed any longer than four days this would have been more of an issue.
