The Yard Bangkok Hostel

The Yard Hostel, situated in the famous Ari neighborhood, is a fantastic place to stay when in Bangkok. Affordable and sustainable, this hostel has amazing shared spaces, including a garden with outdoor tables, mats and hammocks serving coffee, smoothies and food. In the evenings, everyone was hanging out in the garden, playing board games, chatting, listening to music... Super fun! We stayed in a private room with a shared bathroom, and I have to say that the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms and the bathrooms far exceeded my expectations. We had to leave early in the morning, expecting to miss breakfast, but the lovely hosts packed up homemade yogurt and fruit bowls for us to go. Such thoughtfulness and care! I cannot recommend this place enough.

Provided breakfast was great- delicious fresh fruit. Common area was lovely and social to hang out in- met some great people here. Short walk to train station and located in a cute neighbourhood with delicious eateries- best way to start my time in Bangkok. Loved eating my way round Ari. Yoga on offer on some mornings. Own powerpoint and light for the beds plus curtains.

I stayed in three different types of rooms while I was there. Two different private rooms and the female dormitory. First of all the staff there is amazing and helps at every turn. The entire place is welcoming and comfortable. A fantastic environment to meet other travelers of all kinds. The Ari train station is just around the corner and extremely convenient for getting two other parts of Bangkok. Both private rooms were exactly as advertised..

The property was very interesting, relaxed chilled vibes and great if you want to socialise and great if you didn’t! Staff were really helpful very friendly. If you’re looking for a place closer to Khao San Road for example it’s about 20 minutes maybe longer depending upon traffic but I wouldn’t let that change your decision about staying there, the area around the place is lovely and is in the perfect location especially if you were saying for longer periods of time. Breakfast was great too which was a massive plus from us! The bed was super comfy and the room had space and bathroom was great! Would have definitely stayed longer if we needed to!

The vibe is lovely, very social and friendly, such a lovely place to chat and meet new people. The common garden area was gorgeous. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Ari (the neighbourhood) is a little bit far out but such a fab atmosphere and lovely restaurants cafes and bars, way less touristy.
