Where to start
Map your main visits first, then choose a part of Eixample. The district is large: an address near Passeig de Gràcia creates a different daily route from one towards Sagrada Família. Compare street-facing and courtyard rooms too. Position within a hotel can affect light and noise; ask about the actual room if quiet is a priority.

Which part of Eixample is most practical?
That varies per trip; highlight your most important destinations first.
Are all hotels in Eixample centrally located?
Eixample is big. A precise neighbourhood description is more useful than the general label central.

Compare the desired street pattern, neighbourhood character and the connection with your program.
