Generator Hostel Prenzlauer Berg

I was traveling with a friend, and we took a 4-bed room. The room was too small but that’s okay. What I really hate that there were no power outlet beside the bed and and 2 outlet for 4 people. Bathroom was so unclean and it’s like a typical college style bathroom. And only 1 in each floor. Other than that the bar and food was nice. Though the hostel is a bit far from the city but it is just 30 seconds away from a S-bahn and a bus stop and tram. Rewe city and Burger King is 1 min away.

Somebody stolen my cell phone, thats why i simply dont like it.

This place is different to every hostel I’ve stayed in. It’s absolutely massive! It feels more like a super budget hotel than a hostel. There’s no kitchen and you’re not allowed outside food or drink in which is weird, it seems to be full of school children running around all day. It’s so big and sterile and lifeless I wouldn’t recommend it to any backpackers looking for a place to hang out and meet people. It’s a cheap bed on the outskirts of Berlin and not much else...

I really like the Hostel. It was in a really good place and people was very nice and happy.

This hostel is good value for money but its quite far from the city centre and there are no cooking facilities so the money you spent on transport and food kinda outweighs the cheapness of the room. You’re not supposed to bring any outside food into the hostel, though people still do. The bathrooms on two of the floors were out of action as well which was super annoying. There is a laundry which is great, and a train station right next door. But overall, not a great hostel.

I generally had a good stay here. Rooms were really big, clean, and comfortable, but nothing fancy. The location isn't wonderful if you prefer to walk, so you will need to use public transport. There are grocery stores and pharmacies nearby, which is good. One thing to note: if you arrive early or stay late and need to store your luggage, you'll need to pay for lockers at the hostel and there are never enough of them, which is a pain.

Bathrooms were out of order on some floors, but wasn't really a problem to go downstairs to the other ones. If you want to spend a lot of time in Kreuzberg, the train transfers to get there are a bit awkward but again, it's small stuff. Generator was clean and easy to check into and had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again! (I actually ended up coming back again the next night and had an equally good experience.)

Inexpensive I suppose, but not compared to the numerous of the other options in Berlin for similar prices. Location is far from most anything interesting, the bathroom on my floor wasn’t working meaning I had to go to another floor just to use the toilet and all bathrooms were frankly disgusting. The bed wasn’t very comfy and the room was cold. The staff at least was actually quite was friendly. You get what you pay for, and Generator is definitely cheap.

Sad to say but overall I was disappointed in this hostel. The facilities were awful, showers did not have doors or locks, but instead flimsy curtains, some which were not even wide enough to cover the stall. Toilets/showers were clean however. Staff were horrible, I interacted with five staff members during my stay and all were very rude except for one. Rooms were set up well and bedding was clean however so that was good.

Very very cool hostel!!
