Generator Hostel London Reviews

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...

My stay at the Generator hostel was not very nice. The security is overzealous and freaks out if you have someone come into the premises with you that is not staying in a bed for the night even just checking in and taking your stuff to the rooms. When you even go walking up to the hostel the security jumps on you harassing you about whether or not you have a keycard and if you're checking in or staying otherwise get out immediately type of deal. The staff were alright, I would not stay again.

Nice and clean. This place has metal grate floors, and a very busy, buzzing atmosphere. Very nice if you're looking to have some fun and meet lots of people. I think it houses about 800 people when full.

Bathrooms were very clean. Dustbunnies under the bed in my room. Good stay. A)lvailability of 'stuff' very good (i.e. pens, lighters,,) Excellent tour desk staff.

They manage to keep the public bathrooms clean, but our roon had nothing to do with the one in the pictures, it was really small and lousy.

I wish once I could get a proper shower in the morning!

The hostel is like a student dorm. The room was clean, the staff was nice. Try to avoid rooms next to the toilets (thin walls and therefore very loud).

female showers were not fab other than that we had a comfortable stay. The 'party' atmosphere that we heard about was not all it cracked up to be.

There was a bar above the room I was supposed to sleep in, which proved troublesome at times.

Nice and clean hostel, the bar is cool for meeting new people, breakfast was not free it's on a good location

We were very dissapointed when we got there to find the \"free internet\" advertised is only for 3 websites, all hostel sites, or for 1 hour on your laptop. The atmosphere is fine but it seems like they are really catering to a party crowd and most people there were families and older people. The breakfast and cafe are cheap and the room was clean. The bathroom wasn\'t always clean but it was checked and cleaned often.

loved the ground floor with cafeteria and bar, pool tables and internet room, but the showers on our floor (level five) weren't very good, and the drain seemed to be blocked for both of the days we were there. other floors seemed to be okay when we used their facilities though :)

Hostel staff unreasonably patrol and control the hallways for noise.

Tiene toda la onda el Hostel, es un micromundo.

A little expensive, but I guess for downtown London it was not to bad. Def a party hostel. I stayed there with my girlfriend in a private room. the travel desk is a great touch. more hostels need that. Def helped us grab tickets to a play and how to get to StoneHedge...Honestly it was a great hostel compared to the rest i\'ve been in my life.

good Hostel and worth for the money

Very cool bar the staff are friendly and very helpful. Most travellers that i met where easy going but there is a few shifty types that get around just need to keep an eye out for them. Enjoyed myself but!

always a nice stay at generator!

I booked a 10 bed mixed dorm and was twice given a 12 bed female dorm but had no other problems at the hostel

Good bar & delicious lasagne
