Generator Hostel Berlin

Was great
Generator hostel was great. I had a shock walking through the doors I thought id entered the crystal maze! It's not the kind of hostel for those wanting an early quiet night and I know that many people over the age of twenty-five would probably describe it as there personal hell, but for people like myself who want to enjoy themselves, meet lots of people ready to have a good time, and no one judging you cause you decide to go about at night in your pyjamas then this place is for you. Let's face it we are only young once so why not make the most of it. And as to regards to hygiene its true they don't clean your rooms while you stay but who cares the short amount of time you actually spend in them, and more importantly every inch of the place is spotlessly clean. About the food it was not American style fast food as someone has previously mentioned, I was traveling with someone who lived in Germany for years so I think they would know what they are talking about, plus Berlin has loads of amazing restaurants that you would want to check out. In short it has the spirit of Berlin that I love, do what you want, be who you want, wear what you want, which makes this hostel lively, exciting, multicultural, and friendly.

This hostel is probably a good place to stay if you are sixteen years old and looking for a place to party. However, this place might be a little shocking if you are not ready for it. Expect sixteen-year-old kids showing up at the breakfast buffet in their pyjama at night. kids running around the hallways screaming. the place felt more like a high school than a hostel. The room itself was reasonable, but if you are over 1.90 meters, the bed is a little short. The room is reasonable clean, but after six days of staying it really needed some cleaning (they dont clean the room during your stay). Bathroom is very small. The location of the hotel is quite far off -- expect long rides on the tube to get there. From the city center it's around thirty to forty-five minutes. The area of the hotel has a certain east berlin feeling to it, with new buildings here and there. This hostel is one of them, together with the park plaza next door and the burger king across the street.

A party hostel in my opinion. I've stayed here with some friends during the summer. I had a really good time -- helpful staff, excellent breakfast and dinner, good prices, clean, good location (keeping in mind that Berlin is a big city), nice bar in the hostel. I'm not sure if I am right if I say you shouldn't expect backpackers in here, more people who explore Berlin for a couple of days or a week. If you want a couple of days of fun in Berlin and some relaxing during the night -- this is a good place for it.

This place was Horrible. Full of thirteen- to fifteen-year-old very loud children. The food was American style fats food. Very cheap atmosphere. i think the women's toilet flooded twice while we were here and the entire floor where we stayed smelled filthy. We left after one day and ended up staying in a better hostel down the street.

this hostel was one of the best we've stayed in. the twin rooms are little but very clean and the beds are comfortable. we've stayed in a room en suite, but we've to admit that also the shared bathrooms on every floor are very very clean, spacious and provide a hair dryer. one thing we've enjoyed so much is the daily happy hour where we used to drink more than one beer at only 90 cent! the staff is friendly and multilingual. just out the hostel there is a station of the metro, so in a few minutes you can reach every part of the city. i would like to advise it to everyone who's going to berlin. enjoy it!

this hostel is by far the most fun and craziest place i have been, the hostel is clean and modern with good facilities, a decent bar and kitchen, internet is fast and there are plenty of computers but is pretty expensive. An absolute must do while staying here is the pub crawl which leaves every night at eight-fifteen p.m. I did it twice and it was awesome, the people staying there were all great and i made loads of friends really easily, I wish i could move in forever. The only downside was the expensive internet since there is free internet in town next to checkpoint charlie and the location is not that close to town but is directly next to a S-bahn station so easy to get around.

Good price (and ten percent off with isic card). Smelly and not very clean room. You get (clean) towels and linen. Bathrooms are clean. All-you-can-eat breakfast is great (that was our favourite part of the day. Noise depends on which side of hostel is your room. Great hostel with great breakfast and at least one smelly room.

Absolutely top notch for the price, clean, very friendly, and excellent staff. Great breakfast included and close to train and tram links. Dorms tended to be noisy but we requested private twin room which was very quiet and, though basic, was exceptional value!

The Generator hostel was definitely the largest hostel I have ever stayed in. You can't beat the price, so long as you don't spend too much money on things such as internet access, which can be expensive (for cheap internet, head to Kochstr. 74, very close to Checkpoint Charlie). Even though Generator hostel is situated a ways from the city center, it's conveniently located next to the S-Bahn. The staff are helpful, but you might have to wait in line. All drinks are half off during happy hour at the bar downstairs. On the weekends count on some noise during the night.

It was the most fun we could have had, after we went to the 20th World Youth week.

I had never had so much fun as I did in Berlin. It's a perfect hostel where I met lots of people! I'll never forget it; that's why I'm coming back this July! And also, there was a boy from Liverpool with whom I talked during the pub crawl, but we didn't give our phone numbers so if you read this (I don't even remember your name but he stayed in Generator the first week of September) please e-mail me! aupaferrero@hotmail.com

The Generator was really clean! We booked a room with shared sanitary, but we got our own bathroom! The staff were English speaking and friendly. It is a bit far from the center, but with the U and S-Bahn you can travel to anywhere. The bar is enjoyable, but not that great. They do have great cocktails, though. I can definitely recommend The Generator!

This hostel was awesome. It's the cleanest one I've been to. The only downside is that it's in the middle of almost nowhere, but you can easily take the nearby tram to anywhere you need to go. The rooms were awesome. I had a blanket that was even nicer than the one I have at home. Breakfast was cereal and tea and whatnot, but it's FREE so who cares if you're not getting a huge breakfast. You can get eggs and bacon for a low cost if you'd like. The people from the free pub-crawl had a girl named Amanda come out and recruit people for it, since the hostel is so far away. I met the most awesome people on that pub-crawl and had an absolute blast. Highly recommended!!

Arca diaa chge fiero sto ostello!!! It's very wonderful for all people who want to enjoy themselves!!! Five stars!!!

The atmosphere really did this hostel in for me. Location: It's not central at all, although you can always use the Tube to get around. The location is quite bizarre. It feels like it's in the middle of some industrialized zone or something. Facilities: This is where this hostel shines. The rooms are nice, and there are sinks in the rooms. The beds are some of the most comfortable I've ever experienced and they do not creak at all. Because the place is so big, it feels cold and empty. The bar area is very nice, and there is an outside area to drink as well. The staff for the most part were friendly, except for this one blonde girl who seemed to give everyone a bad stare. Breakfast: About average for a hostel (cereal if I remember right). Atmosphere: This place has no character to it. It feels like you are staying in a hotel and no one knows each other. I felt like I was so disconnected from others. You can make friends in the bar area, but for me it still felt odd. Overall: Not a place I would recommend, even though it has everything you'd like in a hostel. I think the overall character of the place is lacking.
