Guests appreciated the excellent location of the hostel, with many mentioning easy access to public transport and nearby attractions. However, there were significant complaints regarding the service quality, with reports of discriminatory treatment and poor staff interactions. Cleanliness was also a recurring issue, particularly in shared bathrooms and showers, leading to a less than satisfactory experience for some guests.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) The hostel was very clean. The bathrooms were cleaned every few hours. There was a nice mix of travelers,young and old,people travelling in groups and lone travelers. There were also young families and babies. Lots of people ,lots of activity. At night ,there was added security in the building. I was very happy with the Generator Hostel.
Cons (-) The mornings were rough .You had to time it right to get a sink in the bathroom. Everyone seemed to need the showers at the same time. You just have to try to avoid the busy times.
