About

Generator Madrid is a design hotel-hostel located just steps from the Grand Via in the centre of the city. Guests can choose from shared dorms to private rooms, offering something for everyone. Complete with 24-hour reception, free wifi, restaurant and one of the best rooftop bars in the city, Generator is a fun and affordable choice in Madrid.

Located at the corner of Calle Silva and Calle San Bernardo, right off of the bustling Gran Via. The building is triangular in shape and was originally built in 1930 for residential use. After the Spanish Civil War ended, the area became much more commercially oriented, and the building was transformed into a parking lot with a gas station on the main level. The area has several representative buildings of the different times, with great historical and cultural value.

We are located in one of the best areas of Madrid, right near to some of the most renowned landmarks and attractions of the city such as Templo de Debod, Parque del Retiro and Puerta de Alcala¡, amongst other interesting attractions that you can visit in Madrid.

We have several types of rooms in order to satisfy the needs of our guests and travellers. In this sense, we have both private and shared both accommodation options that will make the stay of our guests and travellers wonderful. On top of that, we have several common areas where the guests and travellers can get together and exchange past experiences and future plans.

You want to be spending time exploring the city, not waiting for pasta to boil! We might not have a food preparation space, however we have a restaurant and cafe that will cater to your every needs!

Location is amazing, check in is easy and its a really nice place, wish breakfast and towels weren’t an extra cost though. they have soaps and toiletries for a few bucks, food at the lower bar is very good. You can walk all across madrid from this place the location could not be better. The lockers are for a small fee too, or you can use the chest under your bed with your own padlock.

Nice and clean and has security but not very social and it’s hard to communicate with the bartenders if you don’t speak Spanish
