Stayed at the Hotel 1898 at the beginning of a trip through Spain. Agree with some of the comments that the front-desk staff is a bit "chilly" at times, especially compared to our experience in Madrid at the Gran Melia Fenix. Rooms are compact but chic and well-equipped (although could have used a dresser and stronger water pressure in the... more

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. We had booked a deluxe room for one day and privilege room for 3 days since we could not get the privilege room for the one night on the online reservation. The hotel upgraded us to privilege room for all the three days. The airline had lost our luggage. The staff exactly... more

We stayed at Hotel 1898 for four nights in October/November 2009, in a Superior room. The location is excellent, very accessible to the main tourist strip, without being a ''tourist trap''. Although the reception / front desk staff were quite distant (I felt looked down on for offering a cash deposit rather than a credit card), we always felt comfortable... more

Paid over 300 euros for a "privilege" room for our honeymoon which was ok, not gorgeous. Certainly the quality of the hotel is not 4 star and our room was not luxurious. Security at the hotel seemed poor. The staff were like expressionless robot, no warmth at all; you're lucky if they speak to you at all. Location off Las... more

My husband and I stayed here after we got off our cruise ship for one night before we went back home. I had found this hotel on TripAdvisor and we couldn't have been more pleased. The hotel seemed new. The decor was warm and inviting, very clean, and the staff was efficient and helpful. Our room had all the high... more

It's a fine hotel. They take care of all the stuff you would expect, but for $400-600/night, it's not up to par. The staff doesn't provide a very high level of service and the internal rooms are a real bummer. The deluxe rooms with views of The Rambla are nice, that's where I stayed. But if I wouldn't pay over... more

Whatever you could wish from a hotel: location, service, facilities, food more
