Over

Generator Dublin is a design hotel-hostel located in trendy Smithfield, adjacent to the Jameson Distillery and just a short walk from Temple Bar. Guests can choose from shared dorms to private rooms, offering something for everyone. Complete with 24-hour reception, free wifi, cafe, bar and restaurant, Generator is a fun and affordable choice in Dublin.

Generator is one of the best-loved and most award-winning lifestyle brands in accommodation, and since it opened its doors in Dublin in 2011, it has continued to grow and gain new fans!

With its state-of-the-art facilities, top quality rooms, a central location, fun atmosphere, and friendly staff, Generator offers everything you could be looking for – and all for the right price!

We have tons of free stuff for our guests, including free bed linen, free towels in the single and twin rooms, a walking tour, lockers in the dorm rooms (remember to bring your own lock!) and Wi-Fi!

There's free events happening every night, with drinks promotions and specials, karaoke, DJs, quizzes, pool competitions, drinking games, madcap monthly theme parties and more. Don't forget our regular movie nights in our in-house cinema room!

We're a 24hr hostel which means there's laundry facilities, reception, a lounge and games room, pool tables, TV and great-value snack and drinks available all day and night. What more could you possibly be looking for?!

Our fun and friendly staff are on hand 24hrs to give you advice and recommendations on where to go, and to point you in the direction of all of Dublin's hotspots and hidden gems.

We're within short walking distance of some of the city's most popular visitor attractions including the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Castle, Phoenix Park, Trinity Castle and the Jameson Distillery (so close - its right next door). And if you want to see them all at once, you can! Thanks to Generator Viewing Tower 360 degree v iew of the city 170 feet high, you can experience all that Dublin City, Dublin County, and beyond, have to offer all at the same time!

For those interested in Dublin's exciting nightlife scene, the famous Temple Bar district is within 10 minutes' walking distance from our hostel, where you will find some of the city's best nightclubs, bars and restaurants. But make sure to ask at reception for advice on some of the best, lesser-known pubs, too!

With handy transport links on your doorstep at the Generator, you're in easy reach of everything that the city and the rest of Ireland has to offer.

Generator Dublin is a hotel pretending to be a hostel. Literally EVERYTHING costs you money. Every activity costs money, even using the table football. This does not contribute to a communal hostel feeling where people meet each other and make friends. Also there is NO KITCHEN?? The hostel doesn’t allow bringing your own food, which is THE WHOLE POINT of a hostel: to save money?!! They say: ‘no food allowed sorry, there is plenty of good food at the cafe downstairs’. Which costs money AGAIN.

Over het algemeen is het prima. Toiletten en douches zijn wel smerig ook zijn de douches niet allemaal werkzaam of geen optie op koud of warm water. Ze worden wel schoongemaakt maar toch is het vaak wel smerig. De kamer is prima alleen wel verouderd her en der wat beschadigingen ook is de verwarming kapot maar niet dat het niet doet maar dat die niet uit kan. Verder is de kamer prima. De kroeg beneden is top. Leuke sfeer en goede prijs voor de spellen en het drinken.

Hostelworld zegt

"Input: Het onlangs geopende Generator Hostel Dublin is een zeer stijlvol hostel dat door onze recensenten vaak gunstig wordt vergeleken met een hotel, waarbij één Hostelworld-gebruiker zegt dat het een prima hotel is voor studentenreizigers, terwijl een ander zegt dat het aanvoelt als een leuk hotel voor de prijs van een hostel. Dit ruime en moderne hostel in boetiekstijl is volgens onze gasten comfortabel, schoon en mooi. Er is een eigen bar en café, evenals uitstekende sleutelkaartbeveiliging. Uitgang:"
