Absolutely terrible the place was disgusting I couldn't stay more than 10 minutes it smelled like urine it was completely dirty and my "bed" looked like no one cleaned after the last person left. Mattress duvet everything used and even food crumbs on the bed just utterly disgusting and dreadful. I have stay in hostels before but this seem more like a crackhouse than an hostel

I stayed for 3 weeks at the generator. Hostel is very nice, each bed had 2 power points and a light which was great. I had a private ensuite in the room but the toilet broke twice and was actually one of the most difficult toilets to flush I have ever encountered. Other bathrooms available in the basement were dirty always. They also had renovations going while I stayed which made noise an issue some days. They had too many children staying who often ran around the bar area screaming which was highly unenjoyable. It had agood bar there but prices went up halfway through my stay. It has a good variety which food on offer was good and typical pub food. I wish they had a kitchen for guests to use, but there were many good food options around and several grocery stores too. They had event search night but I didn't partake in them and security worked the door during the night on weekends and often during the day. You could walk almost anywhere or the tram was a close walk also. Close to some great pubs such as the cobblestone. Generator is more of a party hostel than other places Ive stayed Is a recommend.

Honestly so disappointing. The shower drain clogs—disgusting. Bed outlets have no power. Ridiculously expensive for the price. 360hk per night!? People working there were all rude and seemed unhappy to be there.

This place is a zoo. Lots of noise and the bar downstairs reminded me of a college bar. My primary problem with this place is it is like a maze and if you stay in a dorm your gender’s bathroom may be on another floor which is a pain if you have to go in the middle of the night. The bathrooms were not extremely clean but the bathroom at basement level for the bar/restaurant had standing water on the floor. This place is inexpensive which makes it all tolerable but I’m glad I only stayed here one night.
