Kohan Payab Hostel is a charming ecotourism-style lodging set within a restored Qajar-era building in Yazd’s historic Fahadan neighbourhood. With its architectural heritage dating back over a century, the house underwent careful renovation completed in winter 2018, and opened to guests early in 2019.

This single‑storey building features six guest units: two double rooms (two-bed), one triple, two quadruple, and one quintuple room. Except for the four-bed rooms—which share courtyard bath and toilet—each room offers a private Western-style bathroom and shower. Standard amenities include air-conditioning (split units & heating), free Wi‑Fi, toiletries, towels, some minibars or shared fridges in rooms, and fire-safety equipment.

The peaceful internal courtyard, dominated by a turquoise round pond and traditional seating, provides a serene atmosphere for relaxation. From the rooftop terrace, scenic views of Yazd’s skyline—including the famed Dolat Abad Garden and windcatchers—unfold.

Location-wise, the hostel stands on Fahadan Street, near the Twelve Imams Alley in the heart of the historic urban fabric. On foot, landmarks like Alexander’s Prison and Lariha House are only a few minutes away (≈300 m, ~4 min walk), the Jameh Mosque about 850 m (~10 min), and Amir Chakhmaq Complex around 1.8 km (~7 min walking). Other notable sites within driving reach include Dolat Abad Garden and the Zoroastrian Fire Temple (~3–4 km, ~12 min by car), the Tower of Silence (~15 km, ~30 min), and Sariz Castle (~51 min away if self-driving).

For travelers without a vehicle, dozens of cafes, local restaurants, and bazaars are conveniently close by, making food and shopping easily accessible. Reception is available 24/7 with English-speaking staff and guided tour services can be arranged. For those seeking an authentic and affordable stay immersed in Yazd’s rich historic core, Kohan Payab Hostel is an excellent pick.
