Jarvis Youth Hostel（The Bund &YuGarden）

This hostel should be avoided at all costs. It is an old hotel covered into a dormitory and offered as is. It was extremely dirty with the wooden panels in the dorm being sticky to touch. The privacy curtains were stained and smelled bad. The toilet did not have any toilet paper or soap. The cleaning lady only spent 5 mins cleaning the washroom and the room everyday. Most rooms are occupied by local workers instead of travelers. These people have turned rooms into duty cluttered places. They were playing loud music in the room and others were smoking in the hallway. The hostel also does not have any lockers. There is no common area and the reception area is very dirty. The entire hostel was dirty, lacked amenities and was being lived in by messy unruly people. The location of the hostel whole not too bad is not very good locally. There are no shops nearby for food or amenities instead it has car repair shops nearby. I left after my first night instead of the originally planned 5 nights.

it was cold. in the room and in the hall. there's a transparent door to the toilet and shower.

Good location Solid for back packers who just wana place to lay their heqd at night

I definitely don't recommend dorms for foreign traveler in this place. you will share rooms with chinese who clearly consider dorms as their own house. I've never seen such mess, shoes, socks everywhere, even cooking stuff as stove...on the ground. They used to be noisy even at 1 am, talking loud, they don't know silence and manners. Plus, they have the good idea to put a transparent door for bathroom so you don't have privacy while taking shower

Should maintain nonsmoking room and facilities. Need better upkeep.

Decent place to stay for a short time for budget traveller
