Generator Hostel Hamburg Reviews

This hostel did not live up to expectations. They were very disorganized. The reservations ended up being mixed up. The staff were friendly but unaccommodating. Nevertheless, it was clean and has a great location. The hostel has potential but overall was not too impressed for the value of the money.

This hostel is meters from the central train station. Very convenient for arriving and day trips - but not for going out. Reperbahn is the main going out area. The room needed a table and chairs, but the beds were amazingly comfortable, already made when I arrived (no stuffing duvets into covers), and the light/electric outlet thing on the headboard of each bed was great. Plenty of other electric outlets too! Staff didn't know much about the U-Bahn prices. Wifi in room was great.

Great place highly recommend to stay here - Location is perfect, security is great, staff are very friendly and fun, when we where there atmosphere wasn't great but definitely could see it kicking off in the bar, very clean rooms cleaned daily, great value for money. Only down side no kitchen and on Sundays kitchen was closed bit of a joke for a hostel. All and all good place.

The shower room and bathroom is a bit small.

I've never seen a hostel like that, really perfect!

Great location, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, facilities okay, but unfortunately the breakfast is not included and far too expensive. Still, all in all recommended!

The hostel has a great location near trains and subways. Bathrooms are really small. Not a great place to meet people if traveling alone, being that there are people of all ages in the bar. Its not a cosy but a more hotel type of place to stay.

This is such a great hostel! It is near everything and the staff are great.

Excellent location just in front of the railway main station. It is a big place with more than 800 beds but easy to get to and and very well situated when you arrive and part by plan or /train. They sent me an email with more information about the place prior to my arrival and they even have their own free iPhone app. Stuff was friendly and efficient. On the other hand, they can't loose much time with each individual customer and when we left, there was a row of people waiting to check in.

Very modern hostel right next to the central train station. The room was clean with comfy beds, the ensuite bathrooms are tiny but good enough. The staff was friendly and tried to help us with all of our questions.

For 12 euro for one night, in the the centre of hamburg. how can you go wrong? Clean, secure, no worries. Yep, the ensuite showers are tiny, but I will happily stay here again and again. I have already come back. I haven't been staying here for the full backpacker experience, more just overnighting when I need to in Hamburg, but if the right opportunity arises I look forward to experiencing more of what the hostel has to offer.

Great location, excellent security, friendly and playful atmosphere, but a bit pricey.

Great Hostel. Very nice and helpful staff.

location is good, but evening staff was mean.

I stayed in a Generator in another city so I know what to expect. It has a hotel feel in that it is big and professional. It's not a small and cozy place but is still comfortable. I was there for a short trip and this time didn't take advantage of the bar and hang out areas, but the hostels are modern, clean and so conveniently located across from the train station. I would recommend updating the directions to find it on the web site. It can be easy to find, but confusing at the train station.

Really good! They should add breakfast ;)

awesome hostel, lovely facilities, perfect hostel!

The bathroom was a bit too small for my friends and me. But very clean but despite very very clean. The comfort of your beds was excellent, I never slept that well in an Hostel. About the breakfast: I'm not into the idea to pay for a breakfast, even more if there is not that much selection. I'd rather eat somewhere else. All in all: Best Hostel I stayed so far. Will come again. Thank you for the nice stay!

Bed, atmosphere and staff were very great. Location is fantastic (right around the corner from the main station). My only complaint is that the bathrooms are really tiny - barely 2 feet wide. Otherwise a great stay!

Very clean hostel,GREAT location, just lacks any personal warmth for meeting other people. Would deff stay again for its location.
