we were staying in one of the private rooms with its own bathroom for the third time while travelling Thailand in the last years and we just love The Yard. The vibe, staff, location in the heart of Ari are just one of a kind. Highly recommend!!!

Chill vibes

Everything here is amazing! I stayed in a private room and not a dorm, so can’t comment on the dorms. But the room was perfect and this whole place is such a vibe. The area ‘Ari’ is one of the chillest in Bangkok. Would come back to the yard in a heartbeat

Not much to dislike. It’s a very young crowd. Very backpacker vibes. Like most hostels though. And the iced coffee from the cafe was awful!! So don’t order one 🤦🏻‍♀️lol

I call this my second home. Social atmosphere was invented there. Everytime i go there it is the same, i find new deep friends. Everyone i know who was there, says the same. Best hostel in south east asia - I dont know how they do it, it's a kind of magic!

I dont like the fact that i miss the yard when i leave there.

Great location in a nice neighbourhood, just a short walk from the overground. Staff were great, and overall vibe is very friendly.

There was not enough storage space in the rooms, just a single locker which can only fit a standard 45l backpack. Means you can’t really unpack and every time you need something you need to remove entire backpack from the locker and fish for things. Could use some small shelving. Also maybe the shower facilities could use an upgrade, but given the price I think this is ok.

Great place to meet people

Really good place to stay and connect with people, the big yard helps a lot. The breakfast is good as a plate of three to four fruits, slices of bread and a iogurte, the coffee tasty really good. Beds are pretty comfortable and cozy, there are locks inside de room. The neighborhood is great and there's everything you need nearby. BTS trains is also close.

City Jungle Hostel

We loved the included breakfast the most. This hostel is eco friendly (drinking water on tap, packaging free breakfast etc) and we loved that, as we hadn't seen many options like this in Thailand. The service was amazing, and the outdoor area was welcoming, comfortable, and a total vibe. The location is quiet inner sity suburbia, I felt like we were staying in a very local area.

The rooms were a little small, and we couldn't unpack our bags at all. The aircon wasn't that cold, however it did still work. The location is still 10 mins walk from the station, but we did enjoy our walk immensely.

- lovely space/concept/design, situated nice neighborhood - very helpful, friendly and easy going staff - lots of thoughtful amenities (water refill station, many sockets around, recommendation for the neighborhood, clothes washing/drying etc).

- I stayed in the mixed dorm which has a capacity for six people. It seems to me while the whole hostel is designed successfully from a guests view/needs, this mixed dorm isnt fully on brand: the space is too tight for six people (some guests stored their bags in the common space, I repacked my bag outside of the room); the beds have a light and socket, yet not anything adjascent to it like a shelve to put your phone or book onto. This way, at least from the upper beds, things lying on the bed are bound to fall down onto the lower beds in the night. The curtain would cover only half of my bed, meaning the other half was exposed---the curtain is there to give sense of privacy...so doesnt do the job fully. Ive had a peak in the dorm for 4 which is femaly only I believe - seems much more sensible! Honestly Id fully recommend the Yard to everyone, yet I wouldnt stay in the mixed dorm again.

Best hostel I've stayed at in Thailand

Great hostel with a nice yard to hang out, read, have breakfast, dinner or some drinks. The rooms come with stable, comfy beds and big lockers. Excellent breakfast with coffee, bread, and lots of fruits. They also let you come back in the evening to have a shower before you leave for the airport at night. The best hostel during my whole trip across Thailand. Highly recommended!

Throughly enjoyed it.

The trees and vegetation attracted me at first as I need to be somewhere where there is nature with me. I was concerned that I would struggle with the concrete and traffic in Bangkok so this hostel felt like an oasis for me. When I arrived, I was even more impressed with a cafe, a burger grill cafe and small bars in the evening. The hostel was clean, had lockers in the rooms, wifi, plugs for your phone by the bed and had a lovely relaxed feel about it.

I don’t think there is anything.

This hostel is amazing! All the staff are super friendly and helpful - they give many tips about places to visit in Bangkok and also useful information about travelling in Bangkok! The hostel has a really great and relaxed vibe! The complimentary breakfast was delicious- fresh fruit and bread with coffee/tea. The location of the hostel is also good, it’s away from the busy centre but you still have great access to busses/trains as well as loads of local shops and places to eat! Would 100% recommend this hostel.

Affordable and sustainable hostel with a cool vibe

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.

This is an amazing place with the most comfortable beds I have ever had in a Hostel. The staff is gorgeous, very helpful. Very calm atmosphere in the middle of the city. Very lovely people around to hang out with as well.

They were fully booked, so I couldn't extend ;)

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 women's dorms are some of the smallest I've stayed in, In terms of space. It would be hard for more than two people to pack their bags at one time in the room itself.

If you love hostel life give it a go.

It's in Ari which is a cool place to walk around when in Bangkok. We had a room with a bathroom for the two of us. And it's possibly the most comfortable bed I've had in 6 weeks anywhere in Thailand. The staff are lovely. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. And on the whole there is no reason not to stop at the yard if you like hostel style accommodation.

The photos of our room are let's just say favourable. And the same goes for the outside photos. The place does look a little tired compared to what you see online. Everything just needs a good old sweep and tidy and a lick of paint here and there. But otherwise I have nothing bad to say about any of it. And let's be honest anyone who actually complains for the price isn't being fair. It's a hostel. It's hostel life which means it's community, and can be noisy at times.

recently stayed at The Yard Bangkok Hostel, and it was an incredible experience! The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic—relaxed, welcoming, and full of good vibes. The hostel’s location in the Ari neighborhood was so cozy and peaceful, a perfect escape from the city’s hustle and bustle while still being accessible to all the main attractions. What truly made my stay unforgettable were the employees. They were hands-down the best—super friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everyone felt at home. Their genuine hospitality created a sense of community that made meeting other travelers so easy and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for a serene environment or a chance to connect with amazing people, The Yard is the place to be. I’ll definitely return on my next trip to Bangkok!

The people at The Yard take care of their guests and our planet with heart and passion. I really appreciated that no plastic is used here, which is unfortunately still an exception in Thailand. I can recommend this place to anyone who cares about community and environmental protection. Many thanks 🙏🏻we would come anytime again.
