Generator Hostel Hamburg Reviews

This hostel is great! It just has everything you would expect from a good hostel ... Friendly and helpful staff, a bar, even a security guy at the door! Highly recommend

A nice hostel. Only complaints are that the toilet and showers in the dorms are tiny and you will bang the walls. Also, the plastic boards between beds really light up at night when someone uses their phone/tablet/computer.

The location of hostel is great, rooms are clean and nice, staff is really helpful and friendly (especially girl named Andrea) only the bathrooms are a bit too small (but the toilet and bathroom is in every room). Would recommend it!

Nice hostel, directly outside the main station. Clean, nice staff, nice seating area/lounge downstairs with bar and bistro. I was staying in a 6 bed dorm and we had en-suit a very small shower and a separate toilette, both very small but clean.

We naively arrived at hostel, the bitter sweet taste of debauchery and promise on our lips. We promptly locked our valuables away, and left for an epicurean feast of Kentucky's finest fried chicken. Upon our return after an hour we discovered that George Clooney and the rest of Ocean's 11 had somehow evaded the security guard and gotten past no less than 3 locked doors and a locker to steal a passport, laptop, 2 cameras, and 2 iPods. Staff were unsurprised, the police even less so. Avoid.

Upon arrival, I had a good first impression. However, after leaving for only an hour to get dinner, I came back to find that my laptop, camera, passport, and my friend's camera and iPod had been stolen. The staff was incredibly unhelpful with this and seemed not to care at all, even though the person had gone through 3 locked doors and a padlock. The police were not surprised about the robberies, apparently it happens often. If you like your belongings to belong to you, avoid it.

The toilet and the shower room were to tiny,narrow and small. It was ok for me.....but if you are over 80kg...you got probs....They were nice and clean.....but i was missing some handwash dispenser in the toilet.....that would be very useful

Just a great place to stay for a few days

the bathroom inside the share room is extremely small, even i am a girl with 160cm height .... some staff were helpful but 1-2 of them were not, one of them did not know how to answer some simply questions.... the place is clean and spacious for common area the location is extremely convenience!!! the transportation hub is just opposite !!!less than 2 mins walk!!

Excellent value for money, friendly staff, excellent location and cleanliness ... CONGRATS! =D Andrea

I think the bathroom and the toilets are too much small. It will be good if they more space inside, for facility. When you want to rince your teeth, it's impossible. It have to take a glase and fill up and in the room i didn't see the glases at our service...

This is my second time to complete this questionnaire. We were very pleased with our stay in Generator. The reception and security staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Our only grip was that the breakfast was very repetitive and lacking brown breadrolls, fruit or salat. After two days, breakfast became monotonous. Also the music played during breakfast sounded weird to us (aged 14 to 40!). It would be nice to have one TV screen showing Sky news WITH sound somewhere downstairs.

Nice place with two improvement possible: matress oldsoft, the matress could be a bit harder please. And the showerroom: two tiny to dry ourself without hanging the wall or something...

Rooms where good value for location, facilities and cleanliness! However we could not borrow a towel and had to pay 6 Euros for a generator one. And we had to buy a padlock to lock our things away. Also there was a restaurant and bar but you could not take your own food or cook your own meals there. Good for a short stay though not for people traveling on a budget.

when i got there at the first moment the blonde girl from the reception desk was extremily rude. the breakfast for 5 euros its a joke. there is orange juice and brad. totally rip off.

This is a fantastic hostel located directly outside the Hauptbahnhof which is so convenient. It's only about a ten minute walk into the centre of town or the is a U bahn station right outside the front door. The staff were friendly enough and the rooms were comfortable and clean. Also each bed has it's own powerpoint and lamp which is always a bonus in a hostel. Overall I think it's a great hostel and not the most expensive around! Enjoy your stay!!!

A kitchen would be nice

Fantastic hostel, absolutely perfect location. Rooms were immaculate. Ensuites small but suitable, larger showers in the hallway. WiFi was fantastic, breakfast was really yummy. I had yoghurt with muesli and some cheese and meat on bread with juice. There was also tea and coffee. Would have liked there to be fruit but was still great. Couldn't ask for more from a hostel for the price!

in general terms all very good, in spite having a normal bathroom per floor, the one which is in each room is very very small it is very difficult to clean, shave, etc us

Please add a message in the dorm room that there are additional bathrooms in the hall. I liked the plugs in the headboards and lobby area.
