The Generator is fantastic!! I stayed in one of the pods. If you haven't done it, you have to try it! I slept amazingly well and they are so comfy and cozy! The staff is very helpful and easy going. The breakfast is delcious and not too expensive. Save some $$ and pre-buy your breakfast at the front desk. :) Neat history...fun place...good price!!

Thanks!

The building is really unique, and Generator have made use of it in a great way. I loved having the separate spaces to either work or hang out. The park is also beautiful, and it’s very well connected to the city with public transport. Everything seems quite newly refurbished and in great condition. The locker under the bed was not very clean though, which wasn’t great as that’s where the bedding was stored. I was a bit bothered by having to make my own bed up too - haven’t had this situation in a hostel before. I waited a long time to check in - the room wasn’t ready until aftet 4pm despite the 2pm check in time. Reception staff were apologetic and offered me a drinks voucher because of this. It seemed like you might need to hire another housekeeper, as other people mentioned having the same issue with a very late check in. Overall I’m happy I chose to stay here! Thanks

The worst place I’ve ever stayed. I was given a dorm with five men, although I am an aged woman. I explained that to the staff, but they did nothing. It was late at night. I had to spend hours in the auditorium they have there, and to leave the place. They didn’t refund me any cent. I paid almost 300 euros for the nightmare.
