8/10 Good

It's very Convenient transport links. Clean bed room.But shower room was not good. I would like them to improve the shower room by adding a shelf.
Issei, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

My stay this time around was an improvement over the last. The lift was working so I didn’t have to haul my luggage up multiple flights of stairs and my room was much more ventilated than the last. I still believe the hostel could benefit from a functional AC system as it does get very warm.
Jorda, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

rooms were ok, if you mainly just wanted a place to sleep and convenient location this place is for you. beds were clean and there is a sink inside the room. more than half of the facilities outside of the room were out of order. in the womens washroom only 2/5 stalls were working/doors could actually close. 2/4 sinks were working.
Karmela, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Best if you’re a female solo traveler. I highly recommend. Breakfast is great, bar food is great. Their location in Dublin was great too💜

Paolo, 3-night trip

This is a very busy hostel . The vibe is really friendly and fun. The rooms are very modern but a bit small. The breakfast is amazing and the staff are great . The self check in is a little bit confusing at first but there are staff to help.
Shaun, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Comfy night's sleep

The bed was comfortable, everything was clean- it was cheap and cheerful, I'd definitely use it again.
Jenny, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I like the location and the quality of the beds and pillows at Generator London. Unfortunately I seem to have had a bit of a difficulty finding the washroom on the second floor and had to go around the entire floor once before I found it.
Hilary, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The elevator was broken for 3 days. 2 of the 5 showers on the floor that we stayed on were broken. The room had no airflow and was like 28 degrees inside during the night. I would never stay here agian.
naeem, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hostel did not look the same as shown in the picture. Went last week of June & the weather was very hot that time & rooms did not have air conditioning at all. They only offered a fan which was not really helpful. They have a communal bathroom that looks very old with poor maintainance, water leaks & stuffy bathrooms.
Danna, 4-night trip
