The place was very noisy- you can easily hear everyone in the hallway walking past and slamming their doors. Every time a nearby door was shut, our door rattled. The showers were dirty, with massive smears of hair left on the side. I couldn't bring myself to use them, even on one of the hottest days of the year after a packed concert. The place is very stuffy, a little fan was provided but it didn't do much. When we got in from the concert, the beds were not made- not sure if it was purposeful, but considering the price, I would have expected it. The staff on the front desk didn't look like they wanted to be there. Overall, you'd have to pay me to stay here again. Glad I was only here for the night.

The best thing about the Generator is the location. You can get to the sights easily. It was my first time staying in shared rooms with communal bath and shower. It's not for the introvert. I can see the allure for young people though. London is expensive and if you can save money while visiting the city then places like the Generators cater to your wallet.

Not sure how this place was worth the £200 a night fee a paid…. It's a over priced hostel… had a single room checked in late at night into a room that had a continuous fan running so had to go and asked to move rooms. The decoration of the rooms is outdated and needs refreshing. The floor was peeling up and had a hole under the laminate. No Air con just fans. Didn't eat there so couldn't comment, just slept and got away the next morning.

Have been here before, needed a night to crash after a late night in London. I've felt the place has got worse than I'd expected. Would prefer for example fast charching USB ports, privacy curtains and storage space with locks in rooms.

Not much space between the bunk beds meaning only 1 of the 4 sleepers can access the under the bed locker at the time. Only 2 hooks on the wall to hang jackets for 4 people. Beds very basic but comfortable. No privacy whatsoever! Other hostels deal with this with roller blinds… plug sockets away from the beds so bring a long cable (like a 2-3 meters one. Toilets and showers are at the very end of a long corridor so if you need a wee in the middle of the night get ready for an excursion. The gents toilets were either blocked, out of service or in a very bad state. None of the 5 toilet doors would close because the entire frame was out of place. The bar (although painfully slow) and the breakfast were good and the atmosphere was young and vibrant.
