Was staying at hotel H10 in area..good area no problems encountered walking in area either during the day or evening. Hotel decorated very well. Very clean and inviting..reception staff very attentive. Excellent english and couple of them taught me some spanish. Rooms spacious..well furnished..very comfortable large bed..much bigger than King Size and quite lengthly..as Im 6ft..was much appreciated. Large bathroom with bath... overhead shower..screen ....toilet and bidet. Room cleaners thorough and very pleasant. Breakfast had wonderful selection of choices..basically anything you could think of and more..staff again wonderful...all staff acredit to the hotel. We were based on the 7th floor..rooftop pool on the 8th..although not a large pool..it was very clean..the decking around pool however needs some attention..raised screws in places..I cut my foot on one!! Great views from rooftop pool area towards beach area (although you cannot see the beach..its only a 15 minute stroll away). Pictures below views towards beach area. Conclusion..I highly rec comend this hotel....enjoy your stay...I cannot wait to return there.

One of the best things about Barcelona is that even if you're on your own, you’re never truly alone. At any given moment, you can find a place full of life, movement, and positive energy — something that instantly lifts your spirits and chases away loneliness. It fills you with joy and a zest for life. You can stroll along La Rambla, wander the beachfront promenade, or — as I did — head to Port Olímpic, where on Sundays you’ll find a lovely, laid-back vibe: a small street market, a curated vintage pop-up, and plenty of young people in a good mood, happy to share it with you. I had a wonderful time — there was everything: food, drinks, music, dancing, and all of it bathed in the warm light of the Barcelona sun.

Great Place to wander around Still one of my favourite spots in Barcelona. This brings back a lot of memories from my youth! It changed dramatically through the years but is still a great place to wander around, admire the boats have a drink or an ice cream.

Great place to stay....make your hotel booking in port area, easy access to all the tourist attractions and close to Barcelona beach and cruise point

Super cool to take pictures. Great place to visit 🥰😍😍😍. astonishing view, clean beach normally full of people. Neat and clean area we can even rent boats here. If you’re looking for a refresher place to spend a day this might be the best place for you. Also there are few restaurants, if you’re around must visit here. Highly recommended.

Great place to stroll, people watch, and look at all types of bots and yachts.

The port provides a great area to relax away from the city and also gives you access to a lovely ice cream shop just on the corner. They are currently undergoing works to redevelop the area. There are also construction works along the promenade, although this doesn’t stop access to the stores. Once completed, hopefully they open the restaurants again with maybe some new additions are. All in all, very nice area to visit and spend a few hours walking along the beach and looking at the boats in the marina.

This is a great place to visit, both day and night. Always lots going on. Plenty of places to eat, drink and explore. Very lively with a great atmosphere. A nice contrast to the city centre. Some places are more expensive than average but worth it. I stayed for a night at the H10 Hotel which is a 10-15 minute walk away.

As I was walking towards La Barceloneta, I noticed this really nice modern part of the city with beautiful skyscrapers, office buildings, restaurants and shops. The area is called Port Olimpic and is located opposite the Olympic Village, it was built in 1990 during the redevelopment of this area of Barcelona. The city needed a sports marina as the site of the sailing competitions during the 1992 Olympic Games. The marina now has 756 berths for yachts and its entrance is visible from anywhere in Barcelona. The two skyscrapers on either side are the Mapfre Tower and the Hotel Arts, and nearby, the Gran Casino de Barcelona. It was just a nice clean, modern area to visit.

Nautical eye candy. There are so many beautiful boats moored here. There are pluses and minuses depending on your perspective and if you are only in the port for a quick sail or if you are living on your boat. The restroom and shower facilities are minimal. The are restaurants and discos surrounding the marina. Most people who live on their boats like to go to bed early so the sound may be amplified on the water. It is a little hike up to the road to catch a taxi or Uber. I have been in this area several times. The pontoons are marked well if your looking for a specific slip. You can also rent jet skis and book sunset cruises at the entrance of the marina.

Port Olympic is a burgeoning area of the city of Barcelona. Originally built as the Olympic Village, the teams accommodation have now been transformed into trendy apartments (at very high prices it should be noted). Very clean, modern and slick with sea front bars and restaurants, this is a nice antidote to area's such as the wild Barri Gotic. The area is easily identified by the two 'skyscrapers' (they're not really that tall) which can be seen from various points around Barcelona. Nearby there is a cinema complex which show films in English, although we'd planned to catch a movie we simply had too many other things to see and do. Barcelonata and Icaria beach are both close by (5 mins walk in either direction) and there are a good collection of seafront restaurants (much preferred than the ones further down near Port Vell). With a view of a lovely marina it's worth taking this area in, and the walk back to the old town of Barcelona is just as appealing.
