you have to bring your own lock for the locker. NO cozy atmosphere. The hostel is completely factory-like, but its a cheap and clean place to stay for a couple of days. you have to bring your own lock for the locker. NO cozy atmosphere.

good and clean hostel, biggest in london, which is bad if you're planning to meet people. not exactly a hostel atmosphere due to its size. security staff is a little nerve-racking since they'll always ask you to show your cards at least twice when entering the building. had an excellent stay there without any complaints except for the security staff.good and clean hostel, biggest in london, which is bad if you're planning to meet people. not exactly a hostel atmosphere due to its size. security staff is a little nerve-racking since they'll always ask you to show your cards at least twice when entering the building. had an excellent stay there without any complaints except for the security staff....Close

Been staying at the Gen hostel for 10 years or more, never had any problems in that time. I did leave a poster in the bar area around midnight on Sun 15th, a gig poster of the band THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS. If any of the staff come across this poster would make my day!

The club was incredibly loud. We saw that people mentioned it in the reviews, but figured it couldn't possibly be that bad... Unfortunately it can. The music was blaring so loudly until 3 am each night that it sounded like it was in our room. Otherwise, the hostel was fine. Not the cleanest I've ever seen, but clean enough.The club was incredibly loud. We saw that people mentioned it in the reviews, but figured it couldn't possibly be that bad... Unfortunately it can.

they screwed us over when we tried to get to the airport. They had told us one price when we first asked, then told us a higher ( 20 pounds higher) the day of, and it ended up costing us ever more then that because the stupid private company cab driver they hired couldn\'t bring us to the airport because he was beyond incompetent. We argued with him that we were not at the airport but the airport parkway, which is a bus stop bringing you to the airport, and he refused to bring us therethey screwed us over when we tried to get to the airport.

The hostel smells like a bar. i.e. stinking like dried alchohol. Apart from that, it's very nice place to stay. Bathroom and toilet are very clean and shower is with warm water, which is very good.The hostel smells like a bar. i.e. stinking like dried alchohol. Apart from that, it's very nice place to stay.

Good atmosphere. Different types of rooms for any interest. All in one place. Very secure and clean. A place to store luggage (bring a lock). Comfortable beds and rooms have heating! Breakfast was just cereal and toast with juice and tea/coffee. Interesting themed nights, but really loud at night, so hard to sleep. Staff could be nicer and more caring. Would still definitely recommend staying there. One of the better hostels I have stayed atGood atmosphere. Different types of rooms for any interest. All in one place. Very secure and clean.
