but the location of this hotel is great, it’s within walking distance to all main attractions and metro station is 3 min walk away to get to Camp Nou and Sagrada Familia.

Line three conveniently takes you to Les corts for camp nou.

We love the location which is on a famous street with too many to count restaurants and also close to the sea where our cruise boat leaves.

but thank God we immediately found a hotel that treated us divinely, a better location and above all, the treatment that we deserve as tourists but more as human beings.

A) Great location,  just a couple of minutes walk from Drassannes Metro station and 10 minutes walk from the harbour to the South East, Gothic Quarter slightly North East and the Boqueria Market.

The hotel itself and location are excellent.

Great location right in the heart of La Rambla… easy access from the airport.

However, the hotel was very clean, the beds were comfortable, the air conditioning efficient and it was in a prime position.

You cannot get a more centrally located room in the tourist area.

The hotel is located in a very good place and is very clean.

The hotel is in a prime position on La Ramblas, lots of shops and restaurants : it is surprisingly quiet in rooms and shutters, voile & heavy curtain mean not disturbed by sound or light ; Rooms are cleaned, beds and towels changed daily, very impressed.

Overall a good hotel with a good location and good service for a fair price.

The hotel had a fantastic nice staff, always someone at the reception and they were all helpful, we had access to a delicious breakfast at a reasonable extra cost, a nice large room and a perfect location.

The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city with easy access to many attractions and restaurants.

Great location, right on La Rambla, and the price was reasonable.

Would stay here again friendly staff with a good breakfast lovely room perfect location.

Centrally located  in Barcelona overlooking the  Ramblas.

The hotel is well located, near everything.

Though our room was tiny and not really conducive to doing anything

Some of the rooms are on the small side, some have a wall instead of a view,

The room was very small and noisy at night which made it hard to sleep.

Our room had one tiny window so would get very stuff and was of course always dark.

Our room was TINY with a tiny view of a wall.

Our room was on the 4th floor, small room

We stayed here at Easter for 4 nights and found that the room was very small.

The other was because I was given a smoking room and I am allergic to smoke.

She just shrugged us off and said they all knew each other and then said she will go back out and be with her ‘friends’ to really demonstrate her lack of care and actually went out to smoke another cigarette with this creep.

(Drain was smelly, blocked and shower not working).

My bottle of perfume was broken during room/ bathroom cleaning.

Arrived at the hotel late with 6 friends check in was fine arrived to our Room on the 4 th floor opened the door and there was a horrible sewage smell went straight back to reception to inform them they said they would send someone to inspect it in the morning once inspected they said there wasn’t a problem

You can hear more when they drain the sewers in the next room or higher.

Old and musty and god knows how long since they had been cleaned.

Rooms were nice and needed so touch ups like paint and mold between the shower tiles

There is absolutely no view except old buildings falling apart, there is a street right under your terrace where men gather during the night, smoke, have some kind of parties and keep you awake all night long!

The only down irritation was that the bathroom extractor fan seem to smell of tobacco smoke, i can only assume that someone was smoking in one of the other rooms and it was passing through the air ducts and out of the extractor fan.

La Rambla is loud, smelly, and dangerous at night.

Only had a shower in it and had to be extremely care not to touch the crossbar where the facets were because it was so hot you could get burned.

There are some weird smells here and there

There was a nasty smell in our room, in the corridors and sometimes in reception (an eggy drain type smell).

but don’t expect tea making facilities and there was an unpleasant smell in the corridors!

It allowed us to take a nap and grab a hot shower before the soccer match at Camp Nou.

Metro stops were nearby with easy and quick transport to Sagrada Familia, Montjuic, Camp Nou, etc.

Additionally, they have always helped in securing great tickets to games at the Camp Nou.

Camp Nou (home of FC Barcelona) is only a 25min train ride away.

we booked this hotel for a trip to visit Camp Nou and watch FC Barcelona play.

The bar on premises is closed on Sunday's and Monday's which is a bit of a bummer

Travelers tip 2: when planning your activities in Barcelona, keep in mind that many places are closed on Sunday.

The elevators, halls and rooms feel closed.

We had the drapes closed for privacy most of the time so the room had a cave-like feel to it.

but be aware that the restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday.

The area is then closed for an hour, allowing the staff to remove breakfast and ready the area for the rest of the day.

We had the "city suite," and it was huge when the sofa bed was closed.

We didn't make use of the downstairs area as it was closed during our stay -

At 11:30, breakfast closed and an extensive choice of snacks, salad, soup, and drinks were available - all at no extra cost.

but once the doors to the balconies were closed, you could not hear a thing.

Because it was a holiday, many sites and restaurants were closed.

The kids did not like the fact that the sliding door separating the bathroom and bedroom did not close fully due to the design of the hanging rail around the wall which meant the door had no lock and a very small gap was left when closed.

however our adapter kept falling out when we closed the safe door.

Unfortunately, the restaurant next door was closed 2 of the 3 nights I was there and  I did not have a reservation for the first night.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed while we were there,

The bedroom was dead quiet and so dark that it became too easy to sleep too long.

A bit concerned because the photos showed what appeared to be a dark (red walls) & smallish room.

I would recommend an upper floor as the 1st floor is a bit dark (and I was on the 'city view' side) and noisy if you have your windows open.

Everything was dark red and black not very inviting in my own personal view.

The only thing to note about the room is that it’s a bit dark and faces the street.

If I had one nit-pick it's that the room was rather dark, and there was an area of the room that wasn't lit at all.

My husband was able to sit up and watch tv while I went off to sleep in a dark room.

but to get to hotel you had to walk about 3 blocks  down a very dark narrow street/alley.

You can make the room as bright or dark as you want with the roll down blinds.

Perhaps the most important is that there is no clock that can be read in the dark so it is impossible to know the time with the shades drawn unless you turn on your cell phone.

but very dark due to red and black decor and lack of enough natural light.

Lighting could have been better as the bedroom was a little dark.

Rooms in the A part comprise 2 parts: a bedroom with bath facing the vertical gardens (very quiet,but a bit on the dark side) and across the floor a small living area with a hammock (this side faces a small road well frequented also in the night).

At first the bedroom feels a bit dark as there are no windows,

although this view and red colour of bedroom make this place rather dark.

The main reason I could not give it 5 stars was because the room was so dark with harsh lighting and it got very little natural daylight which kind of spoilt the experience.

Well located, quirky hotel that certainly delivers.

The staff was all gracious, and the location of the hotel was ideal for visiting various different things throughout the city.

And the location is super quiet despite being only a short walk from Las Ramblas.

Casa Camper is a great hotel for lots of reasons: perfect location, comfort, style, excellent breakfast, free food all day, roof deck with bar, exercise room, pool table lounge with bar, etc., etc.

Just everything about the place is great - Terrific location - the front desk staff is so professional and helpful in every way.

It is centrally located, close to Catalunya Plaza and La Ramblas while being relatively out of the way of the crowds and sounds on a side street.

Great walk-to-everything location - in the middle of the gothic district near Las Ramblas

The hotel is located just off La Rambla within 5 mins walk of Placa Catalunya.

Great location just a few blocks from La Rambla and the market.

The location is steps from the Ramblas and Catalunya Square.

The location was excellent, close to subway and a station with S9 train all the way to BER Aiport.

The location three blocks off La Rambla, very convenient.

Casa Camper is located in the heart of the Barcelona Gothic quarter, steps from The Rambla and other notable points of interest.

It's central location is ideal for exploring the city.

Met the requirements for location & 4 stars.

55 back to the hotel after watching FCB vs RVM at Camp Nou Stadium) and walking distance to La Rambla.

We walked everywhere from the hotel to Camp Nou and La Sagrada Familia.

We went to watch Barcelona play at Camp Nou and used the metro to get there.

The room was generally dark even the corridor despite having on all the lights On room.

But then you go to use the bathroom and toilet - it's very dark and suddenly the funky lighting doesn't work in your favour.

and the light of room was so dark and opened window was so narrow.

The hotel theme is modern, albeit a bit dark in places.

but light still comes through and around these so if (like me) you like a completely dark room you will notice this.

buttons, hot/warm lighting, and combinations (if you arrive tired and it’s too frustrating, remove the key card and it goes dark).

but lighting made the halls and room quite dark.

Decor was dark and corridors were unsettling as they are so dark.

Interior deco is a little dark, like a night club.

although I did find the lighting a little dark in the room.

My only complaints are the shower has a small glass partition that gets water all over the floor and the room can be a bit dark.

We booked a standard double room and it was a bit dark as the hotel is a high-rise building and there is not much natural light

The only let down was how dark the rooms were and sometimes the room smelt unpleasant.

Decor is minimalist and contemporary in neutral, dark colors.

The hotel is located directly on "Grand via" with high noise level from the street.

Me and my son stayed for two nights… perfect location in the middle of everything….

Location was about a 30 min walk from most things such as the Cathedral and Barceloneta beach

The position is in the centre near bars and restaurants.

Nonetheless with the darkness, Location on the hotel was fantastic and good restaurants around with supermarket within reaches.

Loved staying at this secure, spotless, central location in Barcelona.

My boyfriend and I only had 3 days in Barcelona so we knew we needed a location close to the main attractions.

Professional, helpful, kind and extremely business minded - Pablo called his sister hotel and found us accommodation for the night, including parking when we were without a location to stay before our cruise.

The only thing we enjoyed was the location

Nice ultra-modern hotel with responsive front desk and in a convenient amd location.

A quirky Hotel - I like quirky 👍 The location to explore Barcelona is excellent  👍  The staff are super friendly and helpful 👍 The breakfast buffet is more than adequate 👍 The rooms are modern and clean 👍 The beds are conducive to a good night's sleep 👍 Have you noticed all the 👍👍👍 => 😊

but the hospitality of Frederico, and the comfort of our room and location brought us back to the hotel.

We loved the location of this hotel, which was within walking distance of most places you want to visit in Barcelona

Centrally located, with helpful and attentive staff (especially Robert) the bed was comfortable, the room spacious and the air condition unit worked really well.

Very centrally located and close to both bus and metro options.

The location of the hotel was fantastic too.

Excellent Staff, hotel and location Lovely welcome from the guys in reception
 Very good selection at the breakfast; rooftop lounge also very nice to spend some time
 Only a short walk to main attractions and we felt safe in the neighbourhood.

I personally tried temporarily closing the window tightly, and I felt a significant reduction in the noise.

The sound insulation of the windows facing to the street was not good enough.

However, the front desk assigned me a room with an internal window.

Thankfully you can close the blinds on the window (if you find the

The blind in our room broke and we didn't have time to tell them in the morning, when we came back in the evening,  it was fixed.

The curtains also do not close all the way so sleeping in is difficult with the light.

but opening the window during winter was effective enough unless there are noise in the public on New Year’s Eve.

Heavy traffic makes the room a bit noisy with thin windows.

The door in the balcony did not seal well and street noise was quite loud at times.

but it had a pane of glass that extended across about 1/3 of the tub length.)

but has powered blinds that can be closed with the touch of a button.

The only thing to complain about is that you can not turn off the lights themselves in the window which are switched on and off automatically.

(-) 
- a bit niosy due to thin walls (door slamming from the neighbor rooms)
- limited view due to the post modern painted windows (schalosia style)

Your privacy is furthermore respected and noise from the streets is filtered by soundproof windows.

but bathroom should have had a shower curtain as water leaks to floor.

button near the sink that will close the blinds but there is no signage telling you and its in an odd spot.

The very cool miniblinds in the windows don't work--permanently.

Only things that would make this hotel the best would be to put blinds or a curtain on the shower glass wall, as in the bedroom you can see straight into the shower, as there is no privacy which wasn’t the best.

Also noted in other reviews, it was a bit irritating not being able to amend the blinds between the window panes.

Location was so central, walked to all main attractions then 10€ taxi to camp nou and 8€ to park guell.

This hotel is beautifully presented and smells delightful upon entry, the check in was quick and efficient and the receptionist was extremely helpful giving us clear and concise instructions on the best way to get to Camp Nou on a match day, it also turned out to be significantly cheaper than our planned taxi.

The Hotel also were very kind to put a Bottle of Cava in the room for my Birthday so when we got back from watching Barcelona playing at Camp Nou it was chilled and waiting for us.

They are both very popular as is the Camp Nou.

The hotel is conveniently located, so we were able to walk the main streets and enjoy the holiday lights and markets from our first evening.

First, its location - right on the La Ramblas and hence right in the thick of activity.

The location is close to all the main attractions.

Location  was fantastic and service by the staff very attentive.

Location perfect for trips in Barcelona, with restaurants, market, transportation.

Great location and the public areas of the hotel are stunning, with a wonderful atmosphere.

I picked the H1898 because it's the oldest hotel in town and it's located on the La Rambla in the heart of the Gothic Quarter.

Location out of this world on the busy and lively streets of la rambla.

Nice hotel in a close to perfect location.

The central location allowed us to easily explore the city's charm and energy.

The location is perfect for a base in the centre of Barcelona, on the Rambles and only 5 minute walk from the playa de Catalonia square and Aerobus stop.

Loved the location and the overall feel of the hotel.

And in the bathroom needs to wait 5min+ for hot water.

Water damage in the bathroom, along with well worn fittings.

One tiny “free” bottle of water for 2!

Others have remarked on the (lack of) hot water in the bedrooms.

but if you are a bit late they'll be gone and not refilled.As well as coffee but there are plenty teas and hot water.

What used to be a variable tropical shower has a clogged head so the water is more like a wet weekend.

However, the walls are extremely thin that you can hear people walking past at all hours of the day, you can hear water flowing through pipes when other rooms flush the toilet/ shower, and you can hear people in the lifts as they are approaching your floor.

though again the water was cold and not pleasant.

Additionally water was only provided in room for 1 person, the shower system needed a card to explain its operation, rooms were not cleaned automatically & the lift system is complete chaos for residents.

Besides the noise, there’s no hot water - just briefly in the morning, then it’s off all day and into the night.

but no way were we going to get hot water for a shower despite following the instructions .

The only problem was on the last morning there was a lack of hot water.

Let the shower run in the morning for AT LEAST five minutes, probably longer, to get properly hot water,

Hot water is a problem, and that just wasn’t my experience alone, even allowing for the curious plumbing fittings.

We had to run water for a good five
Minutes-

The only issues we had was that it took several minutes for the hot water to run , reception staff told us that it was recent issue that was being fixed and the failure to access the BBC news channel on the TV .

A ref and hot water thermos was supplied.

The Cons:  The bathroom has a rainfall shower that is too close to the curved-up end of the bathtub; hot water can take more than five minutes to appear even will all taps open; the bathroom heater gets hot enough to cause burns and is not protected; no hair conditioner; poor quality bathroom amenities; the room lighting is clever

Hotel 1898

water

Hotel is only 4 stops on metro to camp nou, and easy to get to other attractions.

I would definately recommend this hotel, it is within walking distance to the city centre and camp nou, the tourist bus stops just outside the hotel, and there is a metro station if required

from Ramblas, Sagrada familia, Camp Nou, Suitable for all categories: business, family . ..

After the Camp Nou tour we hopped on the tour bus which was handy.

The main feature would be the roof top pool which has a stunning view and the hotel itself is in a perfect location for El Camp Nou, Las Ramblas and the Palace- all within walking distance.

Very good location if you want to go around with the metro.
