My girlfriend and I came to Barcelona for a week and we stayed in Hotel 1898 and I have to admit - I have never in my life been treated so well by hotel staff as here. They were cheerful, helpful and knew the city very well, which made it easier for us to explore and recommended us really excellent restaurants. The hotel room itself was very clean and nice to come back to, it provided a lot of comfort. I highly recommend staying in this place and if it's your first time in Barcelona the Hotel 1898 is a must - staff will provide extra care and help and make your trip so much better!
