Reviews of Generator Hostel London

29 July 2011 Josh would recommend this property

Liked: Location was good for event we were going to, also it was a short walk to a few main attractions in the city. The staff were always friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Lift was too small and was sometimes quicker to take the stairs even with bags

28 July 2011

Liked: Nice people, good bar and internet area. Relatively close to a tube station.

Disliked: Our room was a bit smelly. The showers/toilets were not too clean, and generally the hostel is a bit old. Huge line at reception at check-in. Huge line for breakfast and not really enough seats. And they did not have strawberry jam (Seriously. Who doesn't have strawberry jam?). Overall not the best experience, but we stayed there after staying at Generator Copenhagen, which was AMAZING (and completely new), so maybe our expectations were a bit too high.

22 July 2011

Liked: Clean, good location, breakfast included, bar and lounge.

Disliked: No bathroom at 6th floor and the one at 5th floor was out of order, no kitchen, only one small elevator to attend the whole building and poor internet connection.

21 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It is very near the underground and the city center.

Disliked: The rooms weren't cleaned everyday and that made the floor get full of dust.

20 July 2011

Liked: Cheapish.

Disliked: Laundry room was messy and lacking any kind of proper instructions. Staff weren't helpful in this regard either. (luckily there was a laundrette around the corner) Our room was located just above the night-time entrance -- a metallic step of stairs. The sound that made was very loud. I don't think the room had been vacuumed before our arrival. I woke up with a clogged nose every morning. The disco-like atmosphere wasn't really to my taste. The pool table was fun, albeit cost a pound (like everything else on site) Breakfast was for children. Toast and cereals. I'd advice anyone to seek their proper breakfast elsewhere.

19 July 2011 Charles would recommend this property

Liked: The location was good and the washroom facilites were well kept and had plenty of room

Disliked: I stayed in an 8 person room which was at basement level which meant it was continually dark, Also I had friends staying in 4 perso dorms upstairs and these rooms were very cramped for 4 sharing. Useable but one of there small spaces I have seen in a hostel.

Liked: cool place to stay a few days

Disliked: we could hear the sound from the club in our dorm (14) we booked a dorm with eight beds but there were ten, just bit strange....

21 June 2011

Liked: It's a nice place for people to hang around when they have nothing else to do in London at night, more over if you are staying in with some friends of course.

Disliked: Dirty dirty dirty, they have too many rooms to take care of, far too many and apparently this causes them to overlook cleanliness which at least for me, is one of the most important aspects... I arrived there tired and ready to crash and... surprise! my bed wasn't done,,, then I wait for them to do it and this employee who didn't speak english came with the attitude half making my bed. The toilets and showers seemed to be fine though.
