Hostelworld says:

Hostelworld guests have said Generator Hostel London is a clean, secure, 'well-organised hostel with good and professional staff'. We like their 'lively and atmospheric' bar, which travellers tell us is 'a great place to hang out a bit and have a beer while meeting nice people from around the globe'. Our users say this hostel is 'only three minutes' walk to Russell [Square] Underground Station, six minutes to King's Cross Station [and] three minutes to buses'.

Property Information:

'Visit London', the official London Tourist Board, named our hostel the Best Budget Accommodation in London 2009 and 2010.

We're in a very central location in Russell Square, with fully refurbished shower and toilet facilities.

Rooms include free bed linen and lockers, but bring your own towel and padlock. You can use our free luggage storage upon arrival and departure, too.

We have great facilities, with free walking tours, free Wi-Fi in our new Gen Café and good-value dinners every night from 6pm to 9pm.

Our famous Generator Bar is open from 6pm to 2am and has drink specials and happy hour every night plus karaoke, DJs, quizzes, pool competitions, drinking games and madcap monthly theme parties. All events are free to guests.

The fantastic, friendly staff are on-hand 24 hours a day, with no lock-out or curfew. In fact, this is a 24hr hostel, with our never-closing internet cafe, laundry, lounge and games room. There's also snacks and drinks available 24hrs.

Please note that guests under the age of 18 are not allowed to stay in the dorms .

We look forward to giving you a warm welcome to The Generator in the near future.

    The location was very good and the security was intense (maybe a little bit too much...). But there was no kitchen and no fridge so impossible to cook something or just to keep something cold. It is a VERY commercial hostel: restaurant, bar and travel agency directly in the hostel. If you like this kind of hostel you'll be happy. But personally, I didn't like it and I don't think that I will come back. Also, they accept group of teenagers, which if not the most interesting thing...
