Bar on premise was good, very clean could have been improved with kitchen facilities and staff weren't really very helpful

This hostel smells brand new.. that's because it is! Lovely rooms, nice comfy beds, great hang out area. I was only there for one night but enjoyed my stay thoroughly.

Very helpful staff, very clean, and a very cool lobby/lounge area. Very secure, you use your key card to get into the hostel and your room. There are lockers under the bed which require you to bring your own lock.

We stayed for two nights and were really pleased. Staff were super friendly and helpful, room was clean and spacious. It's 10-15 minutes from the Temple bar area but we didn't mind the walk. The breakfast was good for 4 euro. Wifi worked properly and we could borrow a hair-dryer in the morning=) Would totally recommend the place!

The private ensuite room was a bit small. Breakfast not included (unlike other hostels we stayed during our holiday), but fair enough for the price we paid. Hostel new and clean, high stantards for a hostel.

NEVER SEEN A PLACE LIKE THIS. Probably because the hostel is very new, anyway: great location (Smithfield, modern area), finest details (single light and power points each guest in the 6 beds dorms), cleanliness, friendly staff. It's definitely worth paying four/five euro more to stay at Generator instead one the of traditional hostels in Lower Gardiner Street.

Beautiful hostel, very convenient location, 5 mins by tram to O'Connell street, 10 by bus to College Green/Grafton Street. Bit strange that it isn't allowed to bring your own drinks. Comfy beds. Bathrooms are all located at same floor. Highly recommended!

Excellent, clean, affordable (!), cool atmosphere. We had a great stay at the Generator. This place is huge, clean and orderly-- ran like a youthful budget hotel. The bartender Kieran is cool-- go down to the bar and give him something to do :) For less than $20 pp/pn, this was the highest quality for lowest cost accomodation of my entire Ireland stay! If I ever go to Amersterdam or other city where they have a Generator, I will most definitely stay there!!

Generator Hostel was a very new, big, and hipster place. There was lots of places to hang out and entertainment for the evenings. The rooms were pretty nice, but I wish there was more space for our stuff because the under the bed compartments were hard to fit stuff into. Also, the location isn't ideal for walking into the city center because it's about a 10 minute walk.

I loved everything about the Generator Hostel. I decided to stay there at the last minute. The staff were all very accommodating. The shower was great compared to other hostels, and my roommates were amazing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience

Very good location in Dublin Town. Staff is helpful, and the services provided at the hostel are good. Safe car park with the other Hotel.

In a country where drinking in the streets is forbidden you should have a place where you can drink. In this hostel is forbidden to drink and eat inside and when you ask them 'where can I drink my beers?' they tell you 'At home'..... Just the fact that is forbidden to drink inside kills the ambient because you doesn't get to know others people, everybody just leave the hostel without staying on the lobby..
