Whenever I go to London I stay there. The location is great; Very easy to get to the Tube station, British Museum, Oxford Street, Covent Garden, etc. However if you are looking for something fancy and quiet night in London, it is not the best place for you... I am happy staying there, because the price is great and I... more

This place had a good location & well priced but was filthy dirty. The rooms were tiny, dusty, mouldy and smelly. I was coughing so badly every night, until I looked at the gap between my bed and the wall and there were inches of dust - looked like it has never been vaccumed. The hallways stunk like dirty gym... more

If you’re looking for somewhere fun, clean, central and with a party atmosphere then do yourself a favour and stay at the Generator Hostel. My friend and I came over from Aus, and had the best time at the Gen. The staff are really friendly and helpful, the rooms are decent- all you really need is somewhere to crash, and... more

This hostel is close to Euston and Kings Cross Stations, so is very convenient. The staff were very welcoming, which was a great first impression. It was all very easy, beds were made up, the place is clean and the atmosphere friendly. more

The rooms and beds were decent, the bathrooms were HUGE and VERY clean and theres plenty of space to put towels and your clothes inside the showers.. The bars are great and the location is amazing. Have recommended this place to all my friends!! more

Then I walk to the hostel just afew minutes. It literally was a alley I was walking down finally,it was all crowed and... more

I stayed here on two different occasions (before and after a Contiki tour) and had fun. It's definately not a place I would recommend to anyone over 26 or anyone not interested in the party scene but since I was travelling alone, it was a decent place to meet fellow backpackers. One thing that was a bit frustrating was the... more

I did not have high hopes of the Generator, especially after reading some of the reviews on this site, but it served its purpose for my friends and I. We booked a 4 bed private room. We knew that we were unlikely to have the Ritz but we expected a bit more than two sets of rusty, squeaky bunk beds,... more

I paid £45 for three of us to share a room with a free drink and breakfast, expectations werent that high. I was in London for a bit of jolly boys so really the hotel was no more than somewhere to store stuff and get a full four hours sleep. The room was clean but very very basic. It reminded... more
