Tips and Recommendations

• The Casa Batlló area can be really loud during the summer due to the bubbly nightlife of this area, it is recommended to make sure that your accommodation is equipped with soundproof windows. You can also ask for a room that has no opening to the main streets like Passeig de Gràcia to reduce the level of the noise pollution.
• If you visit Barcelona during summer – make sure to book a room in advance. This area is very popular among tourist, especially during the touristic season and finding accommodation can become a problem.
• This area is also a good option for families that seek accommodation. The Casa Batlló area is not the least expensive in Barcelona, there are more affordable hotels north of Eixample, but it is definitely less expensive than the Gothic Quarter or La Rambla area. The rooms are also bigger compared to more central areas, making it especially recommended for families with children (for additional information – Family-friendly Hotels in Barcelona, Kids and Families in Casa Batlló and Kids and Families in Barcelona).
• The area is not recommended for those that decide to visit Barcelona with a private car. There are no affordable parkings here and most of the time there are traffic jams, making it difficult to get here and move around (for additional information – Hotels with Parking in Barcelona, Car Rental in Barcelona and Car Rental in Spain).
