Great overall for the cost - straightforward, clean, safe and very close to the city centre in a perfect location. The bar was quiet but it’s easy to meet people in the city from other hostels, so it didn’t matter. The staff were lovely. Unfortunately the other 5 guests in the 6 bed dorm were one party, which meant it felt like intruding on a group’s private room rather than a shared dorm. I appreciate that cannot really be controlled by the hostel, although some indication would have been nice.

Hostelworld says

Generator Hostel Copenhagen is in a great central location for exploring the city on foot. This hostel features large, solid under-bed lockers and privacy screens on the bunks and all of their rooms are ensuite. The frequently praised staff are friendly and helpful and are "eager to provide good advice about where to go, what to eat, metro times, etc", according to Hostelworld guests, who tell us their clean rooms are comparable to "staying at a hotel room with a hostel atmosphere."
