Tips and Recommendations

• Hotel prices in this area of La Rambla are a lot cheeper compared to the north part of the avenue. There is also a difference in price between the two sides of La Rambla – the hotels from the eastern side are part of the Gothic Quarter (for additional information – Hotels near Gothic Quarter), where the museum is situated, tend to be more expensive than the hotels from the western side which are part of El Raval neighborhood (for additional information – Hotels near El Raval).
• For those who wish to stay in this area during summer (peak season), it is recommended to book a hotel in advance. This is not necessary for the rest of the year, when most of the time you can find good hotels at the last minute (for additional information – Summer Vacation in Barcelona).
• The area is not suitable for those who come with a rented car to the city – in this case it is better to resort to other areas for accommodation, such as the northern parts of the Eixample (for additional information – Hotels near Eixample) or the Montjuic (for additional information – Hotels near Montjuic).

• The hotels near the museum may be affected by high noise levels from the nearby streets. This problem occurs especially during the summer season. For those who are disturbed by the noise and want to sleep in a busy area, it is recommended to ensure that the hotel has soundproofed windows prior to booking.
• The hotel rooms tend to be smaller than the ones from other parts of the city, such as Montjuic or Eixample. Therefore, large groups and families looking for a more spacious accommodation might prefer hotels or apartments in the peripheral parts of Barcelona where for about the same price they can get larger rooms (for additional information – Family-friendly Hotels in Barcelona)
• For those seeking a quiet terrace room it is advisable to make sure that the room is not facing towards La Rambla but more towards the internal and less noisy alleys.
• This area of the city has a lot of entertainment and a lively atmosphere that lasts until late at night. This makes it very suitable to stay for those looking to be close to the nightlife of the city. Those that are looking for a quieter place should take into consideration that a high density of tourists can be quite uncomfortable.
