Pros (+) The Generator London is located in a nice neighborhood, full of small restaurants, coffee shops and access to the public transport. The Hoste offers a few activities (run club.....)
Cons (-) The bed which I was located in, the USB was not working and very few plugs around the room. In addition, a fresh water filter would be great on each floor. The bed was very comfortable, but it didn't have curtains which will increase the privacy and less disturb other guests.

Cons (-) They put in a room, but the bed was already taken. Then they put me into a bedroom for women only as a men. I felt so sorry for my roomates, they explained they had no other bedroom, horrible booking system. And there wasn‘t any free locker room for the luggage and the machine wouldn‘t accept my debit card. When I tried to change a 10 Pound-bill no one at the hostel would like to help me. Don‘t ev...

Marcus, Aug 2025
Pros (+) We spent two nights at the Generator Hostel in London. Yes, it’s a cheap alternative – but unfortunately that’s about it. The service was absolutely terrible. Every time we had a question, we were simply referred to another department or brushed off with a shrug. All we ever heard were constant excuses for why things weren’t working instead of anyone actually trying to help. The bed linen looked l...
