Faultless, best hotel in Barcelona by a mile

Brilliant

This hotel was a wonderful experience in all aspects, the staff are excellent and super efficient and friendly, the rooms are beautifully decorated and the hotel facilities five star. The cellar pool and spa are excellent and the roof top pool, terrace and bar are exceptional. The central location of this hotel makes it ideal for exploring the city, especially the old city. I will certainly return to stay in this hotel again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel and found the staff to be very helpful.

Perfectly situated for central Barcelona, the hotel was cool, calm, very attractive in a tasteful way. The food was excellent. The terrace and spa were delightful. Our room was large, comfortable and very well equipped. Above all the obvious qualities the efficiency and friendliness of all the staff was a highlight.

Had a great time at this hotel from start to finish, booked hotel 1898 for my birthday, when we arrived i was given a room upgrade and also a bottle of cava to celebrate. The room was very comfy with a huge bed and different mood lighting. We checked out the outdoor pool which was heated, a big plus as it was December, we also used the Spa which was amazing. The staff are very friendly and i would definitely book this hotel again. The only negative, the drinks were very expensive in the bar 14 euro`s for a cocktail and 7 for a glass of wine. But i wouldn`t let that put you off as there are plenty of bars around.

Only concern was 3 nights disturbed sleep out of 5 due to significant noise from workmen etc in the square below our window. When mentioned this on checking out was told `the hotel is in a busy place` which is the not response I would expect from such a good hotel

This is a very special place. I asked the staff to arrange to put a diamond eternity ring I had purchased to give my wife on our 25th wedding anniversary into an ice cube and to serve it in a glass of cava on the rooftop bar. They obliged completelymaking it a very special stay!

We stayed here for 2 nights following our cruise. When you have been exploring the city it`s nice just to relax away from the crowds on the rooftop by the pool with a nice cocktil. Also open late in the evening for food and drinks. The location was excellent and the hotel was very comfortable with free wi-fi access throughout the hotel.

Luxury hotel in La Ramblas. Quiet hotel with fantastic roof terrace, spa in basement and very nice rooms. Drinks and food a bit expensive but well worth it for the views across the city. If we were going back to Barcelona we would try and book this hotel again.

Beautiful hotel with cheerful & friendly staff. Superbly located on Las Ramblas.

We stayed 30th December to 1st Jan, and swam in the outdoor heated rooftop pool by day and night - it`s free to use if you`re a hotel guest, as is the indoor pool (and steam room, sauna and smal gym) downstairs. The breakfasts - a colossal buffet - was fantastic too: a huge range a fresh fruit, cheeses, hams, cereals, pastries etc etc. A great hotel.

If you want to be in Ramblas, this is a beautiful and comfortable property with a lovely rooftop to lounge out at during the day. Staff are helpful for being Spanish, but really not as helpful as they should be and 2 cuts below the likes of Mandarin Oriental, Hotel Arts, etc.

Hotel 1898 cant do enough for you, from entering the lobby to check in, to checking out.Rooms are excellent decoration and cleanliness of a very high standard.Staff were helpful and committed to our well being at all times, nothing seems to be a problem and all staff are knowledgeable and professionalRoof terrace and pool were outstanding.Breakfast is without a doubt the best we have ever had in any hotel world wide.We would stay here again without hesitation and we would recommend 1898 to everyone. If you are coming to Barcelona do not miss 1898 it is a gem.

Had 4 nights at Hotel 1898 - can`t fault it - gorgeous buffet breakfast with everything you could want. Spa area is lovely, clean and well maintained and relaxing after a day looking at all the sights. Hotel is in a very good central position on the La Ramblas. Would highly recommend this hotel.

What a lovely hotel. it is sumptuous and elegant. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Gorgeous views over the city from the fabulous roof terrace. Loved it!

Everything about hte hotel was first class. from the moment you walk through the doors you are wrapped in luxary and rtreated like visiting royalty. really coiuld not fault it. Rooms are spacious and well equiped. Beds are wonderfully soft with a wide choice of pillows, there is even a menu for them! The public areas are beautifully appointed with loats of comfortable seating. Both swimming pools are small but big enough to have a nice swim and relax in after some serious shopping. The rooftop terrace is diven with amazing panoramic views of the city and the sea. A great place to catch the sun or to unwind with a drink in the evening.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, think that we must have been upgraded as the room was bigger than I thought it would be which was lovely. Had a great time, very relaxing and welcoming.

Fabulous rooms, comfortable and friendly bar, great location. Only negative is the restaurant, very pretentious and lacking in atmosphere.

beautiful hotel, roof terrace with blankets and staff amazingly friendly/. Breakfast was the best breakfast I have ever seen with such a beautiful array of fresh fruit for those of trying to stay healthy. Would recommend this for couples or anyone wanting a special break

The hotel was as described in the online reviews we had read . The staff were excellent, room was great and breakfast to die for, not much more one can say except we will go back and would recommend this hotel to anyone

We stayed at the 1898 as fort-something couple in August 2010. The Location of the hotel is superb, right in the heart of La Rambla`s. The hotel is a couples dream with a spa in the basement which is first class up to the roof with it`s outdoor pool and lounging areas, perfect for sunbathing or enjoying a nightcap at night in the open air, overlooking the city. nothing was too much trouble for the staff. This is not a cheap hotel, but if you want to pampering in style for a few days, this is the place.

excellent facilities, helpful and pleasant staff, great breakfast, comfortable bedrooms. only downside was hearing some noise from the street on saturday night

Hotel 1898 was the most wonderful Hotel, All the staff were kind and very efficient, most helpful. The Breakfast was superb and well worth the price. The location couldn`t have been better, it was central for all the Restaurants and Bars and the Hop on Hop off Bus which was great, it should be a Five Star Hotel.

Great hotel, staff very polite and helpful. Central location couldn`t fault it definately recommend it.

The staff were very helpful particularly on reception. Service around the pool was a little slow but really it didn`t matter to us.
