Hotel 1898

The hotel was cozy and luxurious. Room was super clean. Bed was enormously big and comfy. Despite its proximity to the Ramblas Blv, busy street room was very quiet. It seemed like they were out of yheir way to make our stay pleasant. The night before we left they even left us a bowl with choclates, fruits and a thank you note. Best value for money!!!!

The location was perfect for our 5 day visit to Barcelona, we could walk almost everywhere (except Sagrada Familia) Lovely hotel, extremely comfortable room & bed was amazing. Great breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend this hotel. Many great bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Would. definitely stay here again

The greatest plus of this hotel is the location. The Rambla is right on the side of the hotel you are located within walking distance to almost all major attractions. The hotel's design is classy, like a cigar club, and it is very elegant. The breakfast is good, with Spanish specialties, and in the afternoon, you can find coffee and tea in the lobby. There is an outdoor pool in the rooftop with a bar and an indoor pool in the spa with access to a sauna and steam bath. The only disadvantage is that you can only use these facilities for 30 min which in my opinion is too little to relax. Additionally, my wife was celebrating her birthday and the hotel kindly provided her with a bottle of wine and cake to celebrate. We really enjoyed our stay here and I can recommend this place.

This is the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in Europe. The roofdeck…. OMG. Breathtaking views all around, it’s crazy!!!!! Can’t believe also that there’s an indoor hot pool available for guests daily, at no additional charge. It’s not just a hot pool, but with water jets that give massages. The staff were all friendly ….. with authenticity :) We had to ask if the place was newly renovated as it is super duper clean. Apparently, it’s just very well maintained. The interior is classy. The breakfast was superb. Although the buffet menu is almost the same each day, just choose to put on your plate different things each day- they’re all delicious anyway!!! They would even serve something special and unique each time, so watch out for it. It’s truly value for money. There are also free refreshments for guests in the afternoon ( though we were not able to take advantage of it as we’d be out exploring Barcelona). We are right at La Rambla street so not much transpo costs. We pretty much walked everywhere ….churches, the market, watching flamenco, shopping, the plazas, restaurants, etc. From the bottom of my heart, I truly recommend this to anyone visiting Barcelona. By the way, this place is historic. It used to be the headquarters of Tabacalera Filipinas. Go ask the receptionist about the history, and they may even give you a free coffee table book if you’d like to have all those professionally taken Philippine-scene black and white photos.

Hotel 1898 exceeded all expectations - perfectly located half way La Rambla, it offered easy access both to the Gothic quarter, the local squares, restaurants and other places of interest. Inside, the colonial feel/ambience to the whole hotel was just to our taste - dark wood, elegant wallpaper, plush carpets and big furniture. Our room was superb - super king size bed, lovely bathroom, and the luxury of a small balcony as well. Breakfast was fantastic - well laid out and plentiful with a choice of continental or cooked, fruit, cakes, breads & pastries with a section dedicated to Catalan delicacies as well! Lunch on the roof terrace was also spectacular! And the roof terrace - just amazing! Well stocked bar, comfy easy chairs and beds all around, loungers and of course the roof-top pool! Staff wise - faultless, polite, professional and efficient
