Firstly, thanks for all who are posting their experiences on this thread. It is truly a Godsend!
Secondly, my head is swirling w/ info. I was pretty much set on Hotel 1898, but I'm concerned that the area may not be the safest???
Has anyone stayed here or the Meridien (which is right across the street)? 1898 is supposed to be a 5* resort, but some of the reviews I've read on other websites have got me a bit nervous. Basically, I don't mind paying a large amount of money, as long as I get a clean, safe hotel.
What reviews have you been reading that have made you nervous about Hotel 1898? It has consistently been in the top 10 of Barcelona hotels on trip advisor since it opened in late 2005. We have stayed there twice and have absolutely loved it and especially the central location. It's a gorgeous, contemporary hotel with a rooftop pool and lounging area with some of the best views in Barcelona. The service is wonderful.
The Le Meridian is right next door, across a narrow street from 1898. So, if you are worried about the area not being safe, the same could be said for the Le Meridian.
Take a look at trip advisor, they have some of the most recent reviews.
