Ciutat Vella hotels

This smallish hotel was a jewel. In a very social area, metro right there. lots of out door restaurants. And the employees were very helpful. Everything was very clean.

Excellent hotel in excellent location friendly professional staff . Excellent base for sight seeing

Found special rate on Expedia which included upgrade to a suite (beautiful), breakfast (normally 25 euros per person) and a bottle of champagne. Perfect way to begin a cruise vacation.

The hotel is situated right at the top of the Ramblas, close to a lovely park and close to the tour bus stop. The Reception staff and the doorman were all extremely helpful and courteous at all times. Nothing was too mych trouble for them and they even booked us our tickets online for the Sagrada Famillia which saved us hours of queuing.

Hotel 1898 never disappoints. Care and attention are always paid to the smaller details which make a stay unique and special. 1898 is always looking to improve their service and make the stay even more comfortable and pleasurable for their guests. The addition of a free wifi tablet for each guest was a nice idea and really came in handy. Rooms impeccable as always. The staff were as accommodating and friendly as always. Customer service is still alive at 1898! This was our third visit and we will be returning next year. The only negative i have is with regards to the food at the hotel. The food is lovely and nicely presented however it always seems to be cold. We had an evening meal and breakfast at the hotel terrace restaurant and on each occasion the food was barely luke warm. Maybe something the hotel needs to look into of how to get the food from the kitchen to the roof terrace without it going cold. If you want an exceptional hotel with exceptional service 1898 is for you but be prepared it isn't cheap!

This very nice hotel is very close to the Metro station and walking distance to shops, restaurants, stores and tourist attractions. We had a loft, which gave our girls a bedroom to themselves. But what made our stay really great was the attentiveness of the staff. We were able to save a lot of money by going to places on our own (with the directions they gave us).

This was our first stay in Barcelona and we will stay here again. The hotel is ideal for the metro,train,bus,beach and a short walk into the heart of the gothic quarter. Clean and tidy, a large bathroom, small bedroom. But who wants to be in a hotel room when you have Barcelona outside.

Great location, beautiful interiors, excellent staff...very helpful from the moment we checked in throughout our staff. I can't think of one criticism. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed at this hotel for one week. It is was clean and comfortable. The pool is very small, much smaller than the picture shows. It is not for swimming, but you can get wet and relax out on the roof of the hotel. But I didn't like that the pool closed at 6pm as it was still hot outside. Lots of places to eat within 300 yard radius. Closest Metro is a 4 minute walk. I would return to this hotel on my next trip to Barcelona as I did not find any that were significantly better when you consider location, comfort and price.

This was a great experience next to La Rambla, where everything happen!
