Hip and sociable value stay in Bangkok's Ari district

The Yard Bangkok is located in Ari, a hip central neighbourhood full of cafes, street food, and local culture. This unique hostel is constructed from shipping containers and other reused materials and aims to reduce plastic consumption by providing guests with glass bottles.

Choose to stay in a private loft, private room, or shared dorm. The private lofts are located on the top floor and have a private bathroom with a rainfall shower. Private rooms are cosier with a shared bathroom. Go for the shared dorms for a more social stay.
