I stayed in the family room and the bed was the most comfortable I've experienced in Thailand. I came to Bangkok to attend two medical conferences and a holiday in between and was happy I picked YakThai. Modern and clean furnishings. Air con and WiFi were both reliable. Simple breakfast was included and a microwave is available for use in the small communal kitchen. Very quiet at night as well as lovely linen, a soft mattress & soft pillows meant I slept really well. 3 short stair flights up to the family room. Pretty decor everywhere that is kept spotlessly clean. The staff were also helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay again.

Location and accessibility to place of interest

The staff asked me twice about our passports. It was photo copied upon arrival and asked me again to be photo copied the following day

Very clean and well run hostel. Great locations right in the old town with easy access to the MRT. Has very good food stalls right outside and staff on front desk 24/7. Aircon is good and the beds were comfy

Rooms are a bit small and air con is only for rooms not the halls. so they can get quite warm while going to the bathroom or showering. They also keep the windows open in the halls so watch out for mosquitos getting into room

What's not to like? From the moment that I arrived, everyone was kind and helpful. Actually, that started even before my arrival as they responded to a special request of mine to stay on the 2nd floor. The staff members here are seriously the best; be it the day staff, the evening staff, management, or the housekeeper... they are all a pleasure to be around. Even though I'm a solo traveler, I feel very comfortable going down to the cafe area to do homework and chat. The drinks that they make are also really tasty (I highly recommend the Lychee Italian Soda... yum!) I feel like I've been spoiled by the staff here, too, as they always give me something tasty to try. As for the room: HEAVEN!!! I had what has to be the most comfortable bed in my past 3 months of traveling. I feel like I am on a cloud. The room size is small but not so small that I can't move around. My luggage rolls easily under the table against the wall. If you stay here long, housekeeping is done every 3 days, but if you need anything the staff is quick to help. If you are sensitive to sounds, I suggest bringing earplugs (depending on the location of your room) since there are food vendors next to the poshtel. I don't feel like it's a bother since I enjoy the sounds of Thailand. My room did not have its own bathroom, but there were 3 toilets and 2 shower stalls on my floor that were always clean. There isn't a laundry facility here for guests but there are several options within minutes. The proximity to various temples and tourist sites is great. Also, if you need something last minute or get sick, there is a 7-Eleven and a pharmacy within 5 minutes of here. I enjoyed my stay here so much that I ended up staying an extra 6 days instead of going to a hostel I had previously booked. For a person who likes privacy when it's time to sleep, this has been prime. I will recommend this place to anyone I know and will definitely return again. :)

Excellent location to walk to the flower market, Emerald and Reclining Buddha and also Wat Po for their famous massages. There's a noodle guy in along the canal literally right outside the door 6 days per week. Close to the modern AC buses if you want to get around. It's also opposite the Ministry of Interior complex which is stunning. A 30m walk to China Town so plenty of time to walk off your dinner. The brand new security guarded Seal Laundry is a few blocks away and worth the walk. The staff were lovely, helpful and very friendly. Love the fact there is a locker at the bottom of the stairs to put your day shoes in and swap out to slippers for the hotel internal areas. Get yourself a couple of small jasmine garlands from the flower market and leave in your room to be greeted with on your return. It's delightful. I will stay here again.

I had asked for a room with minimum noise but the one I got was very loud with traffic and so much honking. I had to wear my LOOPs to get any actual sleep. Room 305. Had thought I'd booked a room with ensuite but apparently not. The loos and showers were clean and easily accessible. Would be good to have a few more hooks/rail on walls for a wet bathroom towel to dry and just hanging clothes as there wasn't much room to move about.

The room was great! I had my own space that I didn't mind the shared bathroom and everything. My own bed was all that mattered. The staff are amazing! Super friendly and always accommodating to our needs. Bonus! They share a lot of their own treats and food with the guests to try when they don't have to. I think that is just so sweet of them.

I like no shoes in the facility but if that's the case, the floors could be a little cleaner. My feet were dirty everytime I stepped out to the bathroom or washroom. Maybe also get some screens for the windows? Other than that, it was as clean as it could be considering all other guests on the same floor use the same bathroom and shower.

The lovely staff at the front desk. They went above and beyond to give us a memorable stay. they even helped us with renting an outfit for a photoshoot at the temple next by. Pan is the best, sweet and funny. She really made us feel welcome.

The rooms were on the smaller size for 2 people with big luggage, but we managed to make it work. It allowed us to not stay stuck in our room for too long, but instead go out and explore Bangkok. :)

The most comfy and soft bed and pillows (yes, 2) that I’ve never seen in Thailand. Excellent location. They gave us sandals for using at the hotel. Breakfast available for free

The breakfast could be better. Just coffee powder, tea and biscuits, but they have options for buying there another stuff. You have to wash you own plate and mug.

Very nice hotel, the room was very clean, the bathrooms decent. Perfect position to explore the city and the staff is really kind. Super comfy bed and I even had a free room upgrade.

The hostel was in a great location for Grand Palace, Wat Po (Reclining Buddha), Wat Ratchabophit Sathitmahasimaram Ratchaworawihan and the Khaosan Road. The whole hostel was exceptionally clean and the staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. Our family room, on the top floor (we could see the roof of the grand palace), consisted of two bedrooms (each with a small, but exceptionally comfortable double bed), a small seating area (with TV and fridge) and a small but private bathroom. This is a great hostel and great value for money.

There was very little to dislike about the Yakthai, but I would recommend that might like to make the roof terrace, which was directly outside of our bedroom windows, off limits between the hours of 22:00 and 09:00.
