Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel 1898 is often praised for its central location just off La Rambla, putting guests within easy reach of attractions. The rooftop terrace and bar are a highlight, offering magnificent views, especially at sunset. Many guests enjoy the plentiful breakfast buffet, while others appreciate the spacious and well-appointed rooms; however, some have found the shower water pressure to be less than ideal. Its proximity to nearby Honest Greens makes it convenient for fresh and inexpensive meals.

The staff showed a loving, gentle nature. The location felt central. Everything seemed quite close. Breakfast each morning was a true delight. The options felt abundant and fresh.
The tv had a limited selection of english channels, a slight disappointment. I noticed the shower pressure felt noticeably low. The cleaning, I think, could use a little more attention to detail in some spots.

My honeymoon stay included a beautiful room with a large balcony, just perfect. The hotel welcomed us with a fruit basket. On my birthday, a bottle of cava was delivered, a good and thoughtful gesture.
