Thrive The Hostel

Thrive is a really decent and polished hostel for an acceptable price with good connections to anything and everything in Bangkok. The rooms are trendy and "western" friendly, however, since the hostel is right at one of the main Bangkok roads, it's incredibly noisy all-day-all-night long. I don't know how about the rooms that are situated further in-house but the one I got was right on the street and the only night I slept well was the first jet lag fixing night - so technically a coma.

I went here back in 2016 March and not sure if this problem is fix. They have bedbugs problem. I was bitten terribly and couldn't sleep all night. I was being amazed by their quirky design but ending up a nightmare!

been staying here last time, and this time it was quite horrible. 1. weird urine smell in the ensuite shower/toilet, i have to hose it with a lot of water to rid the smell, which showed that the room was not being cleaned properly, or at all. 2. seen several tiny cockroaches on my bed, corner of the bed has cobwebs, bed sheet and comforter were gray in color, and have weird stains all over. 3. soundproofing was horrible, i could hear every words from next door, and the shouts from the counter staff, a group of them playing computer games. 4. staff were not interested in work, just played computer games. even when i checked out 1 day earlier than i've paid (i've paid 3 nights, moved out the 2nd, because I couldn't stand it anymore), no question was asked why. they were simply uninterested in their guests. It's a pity that the hostel has so much potential due to its strategic location and quirky design. I will never return.
