Hotel 1898: Room 309

 

  Hotel 1898

Barcelona, Spain

located on the La Rambla

Perfect location!

Hotel 1898 lobby

We stayed in Room #309, it had an awful view. However, the decor of the room made up for that. It was not a huge room, but it was so well decorated that we didn't even care.  It was noisy at night.  If we were to ever stay here again I would not stay in Room #309 again due to the noise at night.  It wasn't even the street noise it was music coming from somewhere? maybe a club? a restaurant? not sure...

Room #309

The staff were nice and don't really have any complaints except that they didn't show the game in the bar even though they had a tv... weird... We did get free wi-fi which is always a nice thing!  Breakfast was 21 Euros per person so we skipped it and went to Starbucks next door. Yeah, I know... but it was right there and we knew we would not be disappointed.

Room #309

The mirrors on the door were very clever and useful

Barcelona!

We just got back from a fantastic weekend in Barcelona!  We just happened to be there when Barcelona beat Manchester United in the Championship soccer game.  La Rambla came alive after the victory and we were right in the heart of it all. I'll be posting pictures once I get our laundry under control.

As always, I have SO much to share and don't know where to start.

I think I will start with the cool roof top pool/terrace area of our hotel (Hotel 1898 located on La Rambla)
