Private Rooms
Fall asleep with the privacy of your own room in the comfort of a queen bed. Or bring a friend to split bunk beds. Open the curtains to say Sawadee to the squirrels in the trees outside your window. You’ll enjoy a shared bathroom, air conditioning, wifi, peace and quiet.
Shared Dorms
Looking for new friends? Stay in our mixed shared dorms with 4, 6 or 8 other travelers. Your space includes a private curtained bed, private locker, reading light, air conditioning, wifi and if you’re lucky – a visit from the cutest cats who make the backyard their home.
The property is beautifully laid out. It captures the essence of a true sanctuary for those wanting to relax, surround themselves with beautiful scenery and on top of that be surrounded by lovely people at all times, the bathrooms are modern, excellent water pressure and the beds are very comfortable with a curtain for extra privacy, the dorms also offer a lot of space for bags, the staff are the best people you will meet and they make you feel very comfortable
This hostel was the best I stayed. Amazing friendly and helpful staff, great vibe and spacious. The private rooms were outstanding and the shared ones also all new. The whole hostel was so clean and well organised. The staff would even pack a earlier breakkie for people that were going on early outings. Thanks so much team for the amazing hospitality, will definitely stay there again if I return to Chiang Mai.
Such a beautiful hostel, comfortable beds, great breakfast, staff were lovely, bathrooms were clean, garden was the perfect place to chill and meet people. Tucked away from the busy streets but only a short walking distance away from everything.
Hands down the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! The rooms and property are so lovely and the vibe is even better. Incredibly conducive to meeting people and the free breakfast of fresh fruit/ homemade bread/yogurt is just the cherry on top.
Probably one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in a while. The staff, the yard, the air conditioned common room, the services, the location and most important - the wonderful people this hostel attracts makes it an incredible space. Easy to make friends, hang out, grab a few drinks and chat. Incredible! Highly recommend.
The Yard was easily my favourite stay while I was in Thailand. The staff are wonderful, the rooms and facilities are clean, and the location is excellent for exploring the Old Town in Chiang Mai. The people here were social, kind, and always interested in making plans - I made many new friends during my stay. Thanks again to the staff for all the work you do!
The Yard Hostel is not really a hostel but a family. Everyone is kind of connected in this family, and they all take care of each other. It was my pleasure to stay with people like that. In front of the hostel, there is a burger place and cafe. Both of them are pretty nice to have a great time and chill. The staff at the yard hostel tries their best to take care of you and make your trip as great as possible! Thank you!!
Location within Ari (our favorite neighborhood in Bangkok, easily) is as good as it gets. The owner/employees are incredibly sweet, friendly, and helpful. The vibe of the hostel, in general, is very positive and social, and it's largely inside of a big leafy courtyard, which feels like a nice respite from the more urban/concrete surroundings. Mattress was comfortable, and the on-demand hot water goes as hot as you want it to be, and then some. The massive floor to ceiling windows in the private rooms were really, really rad - I felt like I was in a cool Japanese mini-apartment from a design magazine or something.
Highly recommend. Booked 1 night and then extended to 5. Clean dorm room, good showers and bathroom, laundry on-site, Awesome staff, really good internet (can work in yard or there’s an office room for some privacy), free filtered water, coffee, toast, and fruit yogurt included every morning. Bars and restaurants on-site. The location is perfect. The private rooms are really nice. Ari neighborhood walking distance to BTS train and everything you need. I’ll be going back.
This is one of those special places in the world. I can’t even put to words how wonderful my time was here. I spent a little under a week and loved every second. It’s managed with care and attention to detail and lots of happiness. They really value the environment and doing things sustainably. They also gave us some amazing recommendations for places to go. The people, though, were the absolute best part. It attracts a quality crowd. I'll be staying here anytime I’m in Bangkok. Feels like home.
