“Look no further...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We have stayed in this hotel on three occasions and it provides everything for a trip to Barcelona.

It is ideally situated for the city and all communication networks.

The hotel is an oasis from the hustle and bustle of La Rambla when some down time is needed.
It has a fitness suite and pool as well. The roof is superb and the staff are very helpful.

Rooms are spacious and very comfortable.

That is why you need look no further...

“Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

There is really nothing more to add to all the very postive comments. The location couldn't be more perfect; spend half an hour choosing your choice of fruit juice and breakfast from the amazing array in the market, grab a Starbucks from next door and nip straight into the station to start sightseeing; have a fab dinner in Bar Lobo downstairs behind the hotel, then go up to the rooftop bar to take in the incredible views and the best Mojitos I've ever tasted. Then collapse in the crisp white linen bedsheets. We had an unforgettable stay and couldn't recommend any higher. Enjoy.

Dear Guest,

We are more than delighted to know that your experience at the H1898 goes beyond and expectative!
As you mentioned yourself the hotel is very well located and offers different services to create the right atmosphere to relax and enjoy the city ( we are right on las Ramblas) from a different perspective - just like having an amazing Mojitos or a swim at the roof terrace swimming pool!

Thank you for taking your time to share your comment with us and hopefully have you back soon!

“Great Modern Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

Super friendly staff, great location (Right on Las Ramblas), amazing facilities.
The spa in the basement is perfect for relaxing before and/or after a long day of walking around and exploring.
Train station 2 blocks away from the front door, right across the street from an amazing daily market where we could've easily eaten every meal of the 3 days we were there.
Room's have wifi, large wall mounted flat screen tv's and electric teapots along with all the amenities in the bathroom one would expect from a high class hotel, shoe polish kits, toothbrush kits, along with the standard hair supplies.
I would avoid eating on most of the places on Las Ramblas unless it looks heavily frequented by locals and/or has a wait, but by walking 10-15 in either direction from Las Ramblas you can get a little further off the beaten path and find something delicious very easily.

“Great stay (as usual) at the 1898”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

This is our second stay at the 1898. I love quiet dark sleeping rooms. Both the roof top pool and bar are a great place to hang out and watch the sun go down! We also swam in the pool in the spa (which is below the ground level. Very nice. Starbucks is right next store as is my favorite tapas place Bar Lobo. Take the 6 euro bus from the airport to within two blocks of the hotel. It doesn't get much better than this! I do agree with a previous reviewer. The restaurants associated with the hotel are not that great! But you are In La Ramblas area! Just a few doors down is the famed Boqueria market! Can't wait to stay here again next year!

Room Tip: all rooms have been great when we stayed there. if you have a chance, splurge on the suite! Quite...
