The location close, but not in the fray, to Sagrada Familia is great, and a walk to other happening areas is excellent. Additionally, there were always taxis waiting out front for rides to anywhere in the city. The staff was exceptionally helpful, with suggestions of what to do and not to do, and with any needs we had during our stay, as well as brief and relevant history quips.
The breakfast was one of the best we have experienced in European hotels, with well-prepared selections targeted to the clientele in addition to local favorites (including delicious pastries, fresh breads, cheeses, fruits and assorted fresh juices.)
The lobby area had a modern yet warm architectural feel, with many interesting elements from floor to walls to furnishings to ceiling, as did the breakfast area, which was bright and airy. The music there was turned down on request, with staff responsive to any need there as well. Rooms were sized on a city scale, again with architectural elements in the bath area, with a separate toilet area and a drapery covering the glass that could provide open, natural lighting into the area. Beds were very comfortable with oversized pillows, and towels were embroidered with 1882.
The bar area was small and warm, with a decent selection, though the daily wine tasting with cheese and bread offerings was a tight 15 minute schedule; guests would be better served to be alerted to the short schedule, though prices for purchases there were exceptionally reasonable, again with attentive and friendly service.

When looking for a nice getaway in Barcelona city center we were looking for a nice hotel with rooftop pool. The 1882 had much more to offer than that. Not only is it marvellous with a modern and nature inspired decoration, but it also has the most thoughtful staff (Yasmina always was looking for the best service for us) and commits to serious responsible tourism that is a value close to my heart. The pool and rooftop terrace are extremely nice and despite the time of the year we were able to enjoy the quiet clean and comfy outdoor area. The hotel takes safety seriously and had a thorough protocol in place that made us feel safe from the beginning to the end. I recommend to all Barcelona locals to book the hotel for a night or 2 and have some summer vibe away from the beach and the worries of covid. Would strongly recommend/want to come back

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
It is located within ten minutes walk to the nearby underground station and the famous Sagrada Família. I stayed there from 24 to 27 January 2020. The room was spacious, clean and tidy. The staff was friendly and helpful. He gave me clear introduction of the hotel and the check in procedure was less than ten minutes. There was free wifi inside the room. It had a spacious, cosy and comfortable lobby. Moreover, it had a rooftop swimming which overlooking the Sagrada Família. Although I could not swim at that time due to cold weather but it provided a relaxing environment, I could enjoy sunbath, reading book there. Furthermore, there was a lot of restaurants nearby, it was very convenient no matter for dinning or travelling around. Jump to the conclusion, according to its service, room facilities, location and price, I would like to recommend it to those who are considering their holiday in Barcelona.

Hotel Barcelona 1882 was INCREDIBLE. The staff was willing to adjust to our every need, including last minute menu changes. The hotel is small enough it's intimate but large enough you have plenty of space in your room and in the common areas to enjoy yourself. The amenities are wonderful and the location couldn't be better for a less touristy neighborhood. I received great feedback from all of my colleagues and I would DEFINITELY recommend this location for any business meeting!

I was very excited to spend a night at the hotel and was initially impressed by the room and the hotel generally, we went to the roof, and enjoyed the view, which was great. It all appeared to be heading for a pretty great evening, then it was time to eat in the restaurant.
We booked in for dinner at 7.30pm and were the first people in the restaurant. We were surprised at the lack of options on the menu (4 starters and 2 options for mains - a chicken burger and a beef burger, nothing particularly special or challenging)
We waited over 90 minutes to receive our starters. The person who was serving, who was clearly overworked and had too many tables was apologetic and brought out food over, he seemed like a nice guy, big shout out to him, the woman who was “working” with him was usefulness, and just moved around the restaurant not doing particularly much, talking to the mail waiter every now and then.
We then waited for our burgers, and wait we did. We left the restaurant at 10.15, having been forced to order food from a local restaurant, because the burgers showed no signs of coming, despite a request. We were told the burgers would be out in 2 minutes, when we informed the waiter we were leaving, they were not.
The restaurant was far from full, due to covid, so how it took so long for food not to arrive is a mystery. There genuinely couldn’t have been more than 20/25 burgers to cook, a big challenge in 3.5 hours.
Upon complaining to your Sales Manager who was working behind reception, I was informed that I was lucky I got the room for the price I had, due to covid and he seemed to be unsure of my query. I asked to speak with someone more senior, he pretty much refused to even put me in contact with anyone.
The Sales Manager, mid-way through our conversation, decided to pick up a call, with no word of warning or apology, and left me stood there for several minutes. This was genuinely the worst service I’ve ever received in a hotel.
The hotel was kind enough not to charge us for our pre-paid dinner or breakfast (we didn´t receive the dinner and based on that didn´t bother with breakfast) which was nice, but really the bare minimum.
I do understand we are in COVID times, but if you cannot operate your hotel, serve a starter and a main in nearly 4 and a half hours and then tell me I’m the lucky one for getting such a good deal, I’m not sure you should stay open.
Thanks again for the pretty disastrous stay. I´ll definitely not be recommending you to any of my friends/ family/ enemies

Dear ThomasDindyal, We are really sorry that your experience was not up to your expectations and we truly understand your concerns. Please do accept our apologies for such inconveniences. On the 14th of February we experienced an overwhelming demand at our restaurant. Given the situation in which restaurants in the city were closed, and with couples wanting to celebrate a special date,we had set up a closed menu precisely to be able to handle this excess of demand, but unfortunately the service was not up to our standards. We were aware of this fact soon enough but no quite to make it up during the service, this is why we made the decision of waving off all costs related to the dinner for those guests who received a service that we considered underwhelming ourselves. It is our duty to assume the consequences when thing do not turn out the way we expected. When expressing your dissatisfaction with the service you received during dinner, our sales manager who happened to be at the front desk, was eager to waive off the cost for the dinner and any other restaurant services you had reserved and paid for because we truly understood that your experience was spoiled and we really felt sorry for that because it was totally against our will. However, we did not agree to offer any further discounts to the room rate as you requested because the room itself and the rest of the hotel services were fit for the purpose of the stay. We want to reiterate our most sincere apologies for this misunderstanding and for not having been able to meet your expectations. We hope that the COVID situation will improve soon enough and allow us to get back to regular operations. And we do hope that you will grant us another chance to make it up to you then, so we can prove our true potential! Sincerely, Pau Casals Revenue Manager Hotel Barcelona 1882

New hotel, modern and stylish. Amazing rooftop area with views of the Sagrada Familia. Contemporary decor in lobby area, very fresh! Good rooms, I am so glad the new establishments are using floorboards instead of carpets. I think it is much more hygienic. Room had all the luxuries needed to make a comfortable stay. Their breakfast and lunch and bar downstairs is just amazing, and they managed to create a little piece of green paradise, infact they have alot of plants scattered across the hotel. It is in the perfect location, few minutes to the major tourist sites and within walking distance you will find plenty of places to dine in. I would recommend this 110% and would stay here again!

Great location - sets you in the heart of the beautiful city, where most sites are easily walkable or accessible by metro. Regarding the hotel staff, they were truly a pleasure and most accommodating. Alberto, in the restaurant area felt like a friend, pointing my pal and I in the right direction to view Barcelona's best sites.
Appreciate everyone on staff. Good experience. Alberto made it great!

This was my first ever time visiting Barcelona and this hotel was excellently located and made the whole trip. We visited in October and whilst the weather wasn't sunbathing weather we still had chance to enjoy the rooftop pool during the day as well as enjoying a drink on the terrace overlooking the Sagrada Familia at night. The room was beautifully decorated and all the little additions such as the quirky statuettes made it even more special, my only gripe was that the view overlooked a very industrial area, however this cannot be helped as it is a city centre hotel and not a beach front one. Overall this was a superb stay which I will recommend to everyone if I know they are travelling to Barcelona in future

The proximity to the cathedral is excellent and it's beautiful to walk around it at night when it's all lit up. Most of the restaurants we wanted to go to were in El Raval and the Gothic Quarter so it was a longish walk (there are always taxis in front of the hotel). There is a decent gluten free tapas restaurant close by though. A lot of the restaurants near the cathedral are big time tourist traps with mediocre food. The hotel checked all the boxes for my essential basics of good lodging - clean room (the rooms are quite large for European hotel rooms so no tripping over your suitcase all the time), very comfortable bed with spotless linens, decent shower pressure, and a user-friendly design that includes hooks, shelves, etc. to help keep stuff organized. If you're sharing a room with someone the glassed in shower and glassed in toilet don't feel particularly private. I wouldn't characterize the room as super memorable but that's not necessary for me to have a pleasant stay. The multi-lingual front desk staff were lovely although we didn't need to interact with them a lot as we were out quite a bit. Would I stay again? Probably not unless I was going to be spending more time at the cathedral because the neighborhood wasn't as interesting or engaging as some of the other barrios.
