Great location and style

Review of Hotel 1898
Reviewed Dec 24, 2022
First the positives:
Great location - couldn’t be bettered. Just off La Rambla so walkable to everywhere (especially the market which we loved) but rooms nice and quiet.
We had a larger prestige room on 4th floor - perfect sizzle for us and very tastefully refurbished , It was kept immaculate buy the wonderful housekeeping.
Loved that the hotel kept the old charm of its past but also incorporated modern touches
The spa in the basement was very welcome
View form the roof top at sunset was amazing - too cold to use the pool (and bar closed ) but in season will be a great place to hang out
The bar was fun, especially on Saturday night and a fabulous duo entertained us with live music and amazing singing voices. A real highlight of our stay. Plus their negronis really are the best in the world !

Negatives;
Reception promised is our room would be prioritised for clean and checkin - they didnt happen .
Bit of a mix up with Porter and reception didnt help !
Mini bar not re-stocked after use on first day
The lifts are odd to work ie to go up to the roof you need to go to the reception (in your swimwear and robe) to change lifts that take ages to arrive - same for spa. Most odd they can be programmed better
extending our stay was so problematic - reception although friendly needs need to sharpen their game and be receptive to the needs of high value guest

Overall a good stay. We hope the negatives can be worked on by hotel management. We would go back tho as the positives outweighed the negatives - if reception was slicker then I would have rated it 5*
Date of stay: December 2022
Room Tip: Standard rooms are very small and no view. We upgraded to have a view and decent sized room

One of the best locations with the classical approach to high standard hospitality. Amazing staff. All you could think about in the heart of Barcelona. On top of the very Central location you have great food, services, wellness and facilities.

Huge thank you to the staff at hotel 1898, we had a fantastic stay. We stayed in the suite and it was magnificent, best hotel we have ever stayed in.
The room was spacious and clean, the beds and sofa was comfortable and the room has everything you would want.

The breakfast has a great selection and is all fresh and beautifully prepared.
The location is central and is very easy to get around to all the main attractions via the metro.

Would definitely stay again, a special thank you to Elias who was very friendly and brought extra ham to my table after I said it was very good!

Everything was wonderful, the location, the room, the hot swimming pool. Highly recommended one of the best hotels i have stayed. Everyone at the reception desk and all the other staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was full and rich. The lobby was very elegant with big couches everywhere and there were also live music events.

This was the 3rd or 4th time we've stayed at Hotel 1898. Nothing was too much trouble for the excellent staff. The situation in the heart of the city, close to the fantastic Boquereas market, and easy walking to the little streets with their quaint shops -- could not be better.
