Generator Hostels

Generator Hostels is an upscale boutique hostel chain with hostels located in the US and Europe. The concept of Generator Hostels is to offer design hotel-hostels located in the centre of the city.

Some of the great cities that house a Generator hostel include Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Paris and Rome.

You can enjoy high-end private rooms as well as designer dorms. The Generator Hostels are especially popular for their stylish common room areas like lounges and bar areas. It's obvious why these guys have won so many awards.

Also: The owners of Generator also own the brand Freehand Hotels.

Let's hear what the Generator team has to say:

"We’re here for the explorers and the thrill seekers, for people looking for a little peace and quiet and the ones who can’t wait to discover something new. We’ve got it all, from comfy places to rest your head, to spaces for you to party and connect with likeminded travellers and backpackers alike."

Let's take a look at the perks of staying at one of the Generator hostels:

Onsite bar
Cafe-restaurant
Design chill-out areas
Huge array of rooms types

The above amenities can be found at every Generator hostel.

Not only that, but Generator is well known for their carefully curated events that bring people together. Especially parties! Whilst not technically a party hostel chain, they do throw awesome launch and weekend parties at selected hostels.

Who stays at Generator Hostels?

Any traveller that wishes to experience award-winning design, bespoke beds, delicious food and fun events.

In general, Generator attracts solo travellers, including female solo travellers, couples and groups.

Dorms are kept cosy with the smallest option holding 4-beds. There are female-only dorms available, and many of the private rooms come with a "deluxe" label.

How much?

As these hostels are located in the most popular cities, plus the modern amenities and boutique design, you can expect a higher price tag here.

Therefore, we do not recommend this hostel chain for the traveller that is on a super tight budget. Then again, if you want to splash out and treat yourself, one night won't hurt, especially if you opt for a larger shared room.
