Hotel 1898 - Barcelona, Spain 

An oasis from the hustle and bustle of the Ramblas
Posted: Thu, Feb 28 2008
we were there for a long weekend and the location and standard of the hotel made the weekend for us. It was great to be able to walk off the Ramblas straight into the hotel, where peace and tranquillity was the order. The staff were both courteous and efficient and the bar service was excellent. Some may consider the rooms on the small side, but they are furnished and decorated to a very high standard and to be fair, you will not spend a lot of time in them if you want to take in all the sights and experiences Barcelona has to offer. I have recommended the hotel to both family and friends and will definately stay here again on our next visit.

Truly Wonderful

This was our first trip to Spain and we used concierge.com to obtain info about the best hotels in Spain. Barcelona was our first stop there and our stay at 1898 was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were beautiful with both modern and traditional design. The bathrooms were large with a large shower. We were centrally located to all of the sites and right on La Rambla. We were able to walk to almost all places (esp. if you like walking). We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to Barcelona. Stan & Jo
