Great Hostel in a Perfect Location”

Kind hostel mates, friendly staff, decent bar, perfect location. This hostel was an excellent basecamp for my solo trip to London. Beds were comfortable, furnishings were modern (two USBs and an LED light in-bunk!), and the bar was a great place to relax and catch up with new friends. If I return as a solo traveller, I will consider giving Generator my business once again. Do not hesitate to book your stay here.

generator hostels are my go to”

because the locations of their hotels are excellent, this one wasn no different. i like that they have a bar downstairs but i wish they had a microwave. there were problems checking in when i was there but the staff (i forget her name) kept her cool despite people panicking around her. we booked a 3bed room that had it's own sink but with a shared toilet and shower. it's usually not a problem but the t&b were on the other wing which meant that it was a pretty long walk just to go pee.

Great value for what you get!”

I was traveling solo and stayed in 4 beds mixed room. Really enjoyed my stay! They have a bar in the first floor with music playing late but I was on the fourth floor (room 430) and it was super quiet there! Rooms were clean. My room also had a sink in the room itself. The only thing I didn’t like is that bathrooms do not have outlets for styling tools so you’ll have to do it in your room. And when you have everybody getting ready at the same time - it may get crowded, other than that the state was delightful!
