Hostelworld says

Hostelworld guests have said Generator Hostel London is a clean, secure, "well-organised hostel with good and professional staff". We like their "lively and atmospheric" bar, which travellers tell us is "a great place to hang out a bit and have a beer while meeting nice people from around the globe". Our users say this hostel is "only three minutes" walk to Russell [Square] Underground Station, six minutes to King's Cross Station [and] three minutes to buses.

Property Description

Guests can choose from shared dorms to private rooms, offering something for everyone. Complete with 24-hour reception, free wifi, cafe and bar Generator is a fun and affordable choice in London.

Generator London was the very first Generator and you'll find it in the area of Russell Square in the heart of the West End.

It's the ideal spot to enjoy London from, everything you need to see is minutes away by tube. You'll never run out of things to do in the UK's capital. You just have to decide where to start and we can help you with that. When you have seen and done it all for the day head back to Generator and unwind.

It's a destination in its own right and a great place to socialise and reflect on your experiences of the day. Head to the bar and chill out areas to get yourself a well deserved drink or two. It's lively, friendly and un-missable. We've also got great beds for sleepy heads and of course you'll be enjoying London life in the most authentic surroundings.

Rooms locked me out and another resident out early. Staff at counter said “oh yeah it’s been happening since the clocks changed”. Bathrooms are terribly designed and lift doesn’t work. Worse than all the other hostels I’ve stayed in. Wouldn’t recommend

Most definitely the worse hostel I have been in my entire life. Only pro is the location, breakfast is ok, same goes for the staff, but anything else is way below par, e.g. tiny and unpractical rooms and bathrooms, and bad WiFi and mobile reception. Also, it is very noisy because of the bar on the ground floor and people in the corridors shouting, especially at night time. It might be ideal for party animals, but definitely not for people looking for a peaceful and quiet stay.
