yok Casa + Cultura — Hotel in Barcelona

Way overpriced!! You pay 4-5 hotel prices and get a barebones airbnb experience. I would have given it 2 stars but decided to give an extra star to Sandro and Isabel, who really try to go above and beyond to compensate the acommodation shortcomings. So what's missing? Let's start with a proper closet, carpets, fully functioning AC, and sound proof windows. They don't offer any of that! So you have a half working "eco-friendly" AC (In Barcelona's sweltering heat, this was unacceptable), paper thin windows and with all the party noise and the fact that the 3 apartments they rent are so close to the street on the 3rd floor, we could never get a good night's sleep. The rooms are decent sized so its beyond me why we could not built proper closets. We just got a few hangers on a wall so the entire time, the apartment looked like a mess. Lastly, the building is super run down and dirty. One night, we even found marihuana joints on the lobby floor. To top it off, there is a student hostel operation in the floor above us, which Yok failed to disclose, so you get the nice student party noises all night long. We were puzzled since we had read such excelent reviews but we now wonder whether 5 star reviews were written by actual guests. Lesson learnt: at this budget we'll be checking into a proper...

A wonderful place to stay in Barcelone! I can only recommend it, for business trips, weekend trips, but also for any other occasion. The location is absolutely great, right in between two very interesting neighborhoods. Easily accessible from the airport, walking distance from the old town and most of Barcelona‘s sights. We were staying in Casa B. I liked the combination of historic, vintage, upcycled but also modern minimalistic style of the apartment. It was very clean and bright. The noise on the main street was sometimes a bit loud during the night, but we weren‘t bothered so much. A really great plus is the fresh, filtered drinking water we received everyday, delivered to our door. It is a professionally managed business, but in a very familial and personal way. There was always someone around for assistance or questions. The office on the top floor of the building was also worth a visit. We would definitely...

We stayed five wonderful days in this lovely apartment. It is a charming space with lots of natural light and vintage architectural details like mosaic floors and stained glass. However it also had wonderful modern conveniences like an ensuite bathroom for each of its four rooms and keyless entry. The hosts were super attentive and provided recommendations for nearby restaurants and attractions. The kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The location is also excellent for exploring Barcelona—close to the old Gothic city and also the lively up and coming Born neighborhood. Highly recommend. Also great for UK and North American travellers. The hosts communicate...
