Generator London

Considering price, excellent. Stayed over for the Eurostar next morning Booked twin room (bunk beds) with middle aged Mum Not ensuite, but shower room down the hall, toilets were opposite room. Lift all working if tight. They supplied towels in the twin room and fans as was very warm If on top bunk in summer suggest taking hand held fan They had restaurant and 24/7 entertainment/bar downstairs and people were up watching the World Cup. Must have had very good sound proofing as didn't hear anything

2/5 The location was convenient, but our stay was unpleasant. The room was very small and became extremely hot during the warm weather (around 28°C). There was no air conditioning, and no fan was offered, which made it difficult to rest and sleep comfortably. If you’re staying in summer, be prepared for very warm rooms.

Room was very small

Staff unhelpful and didn’t give much advice about room etc massively inflated prices for vending machines extortionate prices for a more private room and very noisy at almost 1 am when checking in also the whole building smelled of weed. Didn’t end up staying after check in I left key at reception and walked out and went to another hotel

After all these years, still not functioning AC.

Value for money was not good. Having stayed there, I would have expected to be charged £30 max

Doors are really loud. Kept waking us up at night, all night.

The rooms are clean and so are the bed linnens. Staff members are helpful though 1 or 2 Security members could be more helpful.Would I return to stay? Yes.

All of my linens had streaks of dirt on them. The lift was broken at times (I stayed on the 5th floor). The lounges were under construction (undisclosed) and unusable due to noise/closures. My room was smaller than pictured and did not have all the shown amenities. Overall really disappointed. The location was great, but not worth all that hassle.

I stayed here on my own (40s female). The location is good, very close to stations. I had a king size room which was spacious, and it came with towels and a hairdryer which I didn't expect. The bed was comfy and the shower was hot and drained fine, and there was lots of space to put stuff. There were loads of students staying so I think your sleep probably depends on what room you have and where it is. I slept fine with earplugs and the windows shut. The bed was actually 2 single mattresses pushed together - not an issue for me but worth knowing. No air con but a fan had been left in so it was cool when I arrived (28+ degrees that day).

I booked a Superior King Room but was given two single beds.

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.

No ac, beds were mot made, beds are far from charging point

Fine for a quick stopover

Overall a very positive experience, very reasonably priced, helpful staff and plenty of amenities within the building to enjoy and take part in. Great for all ages, only complaint would be the Matresses are very tough to sleep on. Highly recommend otherwise.

A very nice hostel situated just next to Kings Cross and Euston Railways and Tube stations. Best location in the heart of London, easy public transportation access, safe and clean and convenient, beds are very comfortable, staff are very friendly, shoutout to Prince, Carlos, Junior and Ainy (If I spelt it right) for being fantastic, use this hostel on all my travels to London.

Hugeeee thanks to Joao as hevis very welcome;professional and reliable whatever the situation and great happiness

Generator its one of the best hostel in London for me. Its just it should me more toilets as sometimes the room it's far from the toilet And the bed should be with something bigger to hide yourself!! Otherwise great place
