Generator Hostel Hamburg Reviews

Location is amazing, however the washroom was a bit small. Lots of kids running around. Not the greatest place to meet people if your a solo traveler. Staff was very helpful.

This is an excellent hostel! Literally just next to the Hauptbahnhoff, when I arrived it was very busy and full of people from all over the world. The room itself was good, as hostels go, with good washing/toilet facilities. but the real draw is the atmosphere. only qualm was the security: the lockers were rather small and so one cannot lock eg a whole suitcase away. be aware that atmosphere' is also, to some degree, a euphemism for 'noise' :)

It was a very nice hostel but it wasn't fun. The breakfast was slightly overpriced for what you got and the snacks were totally overpriced. It was cool to be close to the train station but some staff members had trouble making recommendations for things to do. I was mainly bitter because I did not enjoy the city.

Excellent location for traveling through town or for side trips, but not especially great for going at a night. This hostel had a lot of kids running around the building who were on a group trip, and the rooms were very small. I stayed here because I stayed in the Generator in Dublin and loved it, this place it merely...okay. It is perfectly fine, but the price is a little high for what they offer. The bathrooms in the rooms were literally like small closets where you could barely move.

no kitchen, no alcohol allowed into the hostel that wasnt purchased through the bar, bathrooms were gross, school kids everywhere, extremely loud and annoying. It cost way more than it was worth, and horribel for budget travellers!

Yeah I like This Hostel very Much Despite the fact that Hostel Chains need to learn a Bit About Treating customers , as Humans and less like numbers, But I prefer this hostel it has nice Loby Area, Wi Fi is Good. and Location is Priceless.

Some room mates lost belongings in the room. Mine were all locked up in the locker underneath my bed. The place is just across from a major station but it would be very helpful if they would actually describe which station exit to come out from (eg: maybe mention the nearest platform from the closest exit to the hostel - it'll give travelers a point of interest). I met some good people in there and the free walking tour was a plus. I wish they had a kitchen.

We had a great Time in Hamburg also because the Generator Hostel is located so perfectly. If we will ever return to Hamburg it is sure that we will stay again at the Generator.

only place i'd stay

Clean hostel central location, but that's about it 700+ beds, so its very hard to meet people They won't allow you to bring in your own alcohol, so you have to pay bar prices at their bar The staff need to work on their attitude towards guests. Wouldn't reccomend staying here unless you're in a big group down to party for the weekend.

Shower too small and not very practical (lack of space) when sharing the room with 8 people: undress/dress inside is almost impossible so forced to dress up in the room shared with 8 people--> lack of intimacy

More like a hotel than a hostel. Great staff and great location.

Good hostel, but its more made for groups. Small bathroom

The cost of drinks at the bar is high. Beer should be available for under 5 euro.

Great stay, very close to the station although A little unsure how to find it at first. Friendly staff, enjoyed chatting to Alexander the barman whilst watching Football.

Very nice hostel, everything perfect except the shower which was totally ridiculous (but clean)

Friendly staff, great location and good food

though the place is great, depending on fees changing on a daily basis up to 90%, dorms might be highly overpriced. If you get a 20 eur deal, it seems fair to me, but if thev charge you above 30 EUR, it is in no relation to what you get, clear rip off.

I have been to many hostels but this has been my worst experience so far, especially with the extremely unfriendly staff. The hostel is very loud and rowdy but at the same time there is no sense of community. You will meet no people here, the staff treats you badly and you cannot sleep with all the commotion. I would recommend this hostel to no one.

Nice hostel close to central station. Room was clean, closed by e-card you recieve at check in. Laundry room available to wash and iron your clothes. In the night you can find kind of party in bar (part of Generator) close to lobby. If you want to secure luggage, do forget to take small locker with you, to close baggage box; otherwise you can buy locker at reception. Location is very central, but take into account street noize if you want preffer quiet location. :)
