We were in Barcelona for 4 nights as an extended city break. The hotel is located on La Rambla (which is semi-pedastrianised at this point) - an ideal central location for seeing the city. We asked for quiet rooms and we got them - virtually no noise from outside, despite being at the heart of the action. The rooms we... more

We booked a privilege room in this hotel. When we booked we asked for a room, not with a red interiour and not at the ramblas. When we arrived we got a room on the 6th floor just beside the elevator. The first thing we noticed was how small it was in comparance with the photo's on the internet. So... more

We recently stayed at this hotel based on the number of good recommendations found at this site. Unfortunately, our experience was not so good. Our room on the fourth floor was very small and cramped. Pipes from the upper floors ran through a square pillar in one of the walls. Each time someone above flushed it sounded like our room... more

I couldn't get into the Palace, because they are doing a renovation and have limited rooms, but a friend from Universal recommended this place. What a gem! They have everything I look for in a business hotel, a nice workout facility, a pool, restaurant on site and all were more than acceptable. it was also within walking distance to a... more

Just stay here. You will be thrilled. The pics tell it all. loved everything from the locations, to the pool, to the service (english no problem), to just the look and feel. Walk to everywhere. The vibrance of Barcelona is right out the door and even come into to the hotel with you as this is such a great spot....... more

Just completed a 3 day stay at the 1898. Fantastic location for all of Barcelona's main sites. We walked everywhere and it was never more than a nice 30 minute stroll. The hotel itself is very nice. The rooftop pool and deck area is a fantastic place to unwind but be warned the drink prices are high! We had a... more

Honestly, I am very surprised that this hotel only has 4 stars as it is more luxurious than many 5-star hotels! The standart room is reasonable in its size, has a great spacious bathroom. You can be dissapointed if you book superior room as it is just the same as standart one. The breakfast is a little bit expensive but... more

A great place to relax while still being in the heart of La Rambla and walking distance to many attractions/restaurants. Large room for Europe. Nice amenities. Basic pool/exercise room/spa. Parking garage incredible steep and windy. Staff adequate. Great rooftop bar. Computer and printer available free of charge. Don't waste money on breakfast or breakfast included or any packages. more

Located right on Las Ramblas, which is either a good or bad thing depending on what you're looking for. This is a very classy and well designed hotel. Rooms are very spacious and have all the finishing touches- robes, slippers, flat screen tv. We went in Winter and it was too cold for the rooftop pool, but we had a... more
