After a long flight from Australia we were delighted when we arrived at the Onion hostel. Down a bustling Bangkok street, near the flower market and the river, this place is welcoming and comfortable. …

Super very friendly staff, we loved staying in the private room, it's a very accessible price and a great location. They give a good breakfast, it's included and you can have different options. It's cozy, and the help from the staff is super appreciated! Highly recommended if you want to stay in the historic center of Bangkok.

I stated two nights here and was happy for it. It's next to the flower market, and river, also close to China town. Easy to grab a can or tuk tuk about a block away. …

We had a fantastic stay! Easy, comfortable, and they were so kind. Perfect location if you would like to be near the BKK centre. Would go back in a heartbeat. Beds were extremely clean and the air condition was incredible for two Canadian boys which says a lot. Can’t say enough about this hostel!! Great reviews.

A small, very cozy and friendly riverside hostel in the middle of Flower Market, very close to main landmarks. Friendly staff, good design, young clientele, new AC and beds. Laundry on site. Excellent price, nice simple breakfast. Communal area is small and showers a bit awkward though. BTS (rapid transit) is accessible via boat from nearby pier, or bus.

Except for the strong smell of onion outside (which mysteriously doesn't affect the inside of the place) I was really satisfied with my stay in the hostel. It's close to a river pier that can leave you by w of the most famous temples (Wat Arun and Wat Pho) in less than half an hour. The air conditioning works perfectly and is on all day. Breakfast is a bit basic but there's a Starbucks just opposite the entrance. The girl at reception was really nice. I stayed in the 10 people dorm and it was really clean. Communal area, however, it's really small but I didn't mind as I was just crashing for a couple of nights. WiFi worked with no issues, and really fast.

We stayed for 2 nights. The people are very kind. The rooms, toilets and showers are clean. The hostel has a good location so you can walk to Wat Pho, Khaosan Road and so on.. the "hop-on-hop-off ferry" pier is next to the hostel. Breakfast is included. But in my opinion the pillows were a bit hard.

Great hostel, great staff, very clean & nice to have breakfast included (even though it was basic). Stayed in the 12 person dorm and even though a lot of people it didn't feel crowded and we all had our own space because of the curtains. would stay again!
