Generator London

"Very buzzing popular place, retro, modern designs, plenty of colour and atmosphere to the whole place. Guests mostly under 25's. Super friendly attentive staff, very helpful and genuine. Didn't get to try the food sadly, but the food hall looked great and was packed so that should speak for itself. Everywhere was clean to a high standard, comfy beds, hot showers! Good value, Lovely night!"

"The self check in is such a nice feature in this hostel! Once I got to my room it was another story, my assisted bed was dirty and used sheets, staff told me to just move to another bed. The staff overwhelmed by check in and not thinking much about the room being fully booked that weekend. Later on that night I had one the ladies in the room tried to fist fight another person in the room. I felt she was mostly upset at her accommodations and hostels are certainly not for everyone. Thankfully staff escorted her out. That was the first night but the rest of the weekend was good. The other ladies in the room were all great to chat with. Everything was pretty close. Its a good hostel but a little overwhelming at time since it is closer to the center of a large city. Lockers are great for exploring a bit after check out."

"What a fantastic place to stay as a tourist! First, the hotel itself is superb. Friendly staff, awesome atmosphere, bar, amenities, etc. The dorm room format is a bit risky during the pandemic or in immediate post-pandemic times but I survived ahahaha One occupant was clearly sick though and kept coughing and stayed in for an entire day but I was fine Then the location of the hotel - it is perfectly located so close to everything! Few minutes from a metro station, close to many parks, some minutes from the British Museum... Quite affordable, I greatly enjoyed my experience and would definitely rent a bed again"

"I got to stay in the 0-floor the smoking floor. Was staying in a female only room next tot he smoking are asked to change rooms because they smoke (cigarette/weed) continued to go inside. The washer/dryers were broken only one washer/dryer was working properly. They definitely need new bartenders… so always opted to go somewhere else. The shower cleaning house were a little odd… in the morning when everyone has to check out. The music was good. Never tried the food. The staff were really nice. Great place to meet new people. Great location the underground is 1 block away and the underground that goes to another country is only like 3 blocks away. Lots of places to eat around."

"One of your better options for exploring London while on a budget. Good location, it's close to the tube so you can access any part of London from here. It provides your basic necessities, a bed, a shower, and a place to secure your belongings. In your bunk, you have a personal light and two USB ports. You have a personal locker under your bunk, but you either have to bring your own lock or buy one from the hostel. Plan ahead and bring a sleep mask and earbuds so your neighbors don't disturb you with lights and noise, otherwise they sell these things at the front desk. I liked the restaurant downstairs, the food was pretty good. The facilities are usually kept clean, I've seen staff cleaning multiple times a day. However, some changes could be made that could make the stay a bit more comfortable. I wish there were curtains around the bunks to give you a bit more privacy. And in the shared shower, there is only one hook to hang all your belongings which all get a little wet because the stall is so small. A hanging basket would make all the difference. Overall, good value for your money."
