We visited the Generator hostel London at the end of December for two nights.
The hostel is located behind a small entrance in an atrium. At the reception, we quickly and Friendlyly received our six keys for our two triple rooms.
Both rooms were made up of a bunk bed and a single bed. They had a heating and a sink. The size of the room was ridiculous. It was almost impossible to stop three in the small shoe box. Even prison cells are bigger.
The room, beds and bedding were clean. The beds had to be referred to.
Toilets and showers were only in the hallway, but they were spacious, modern and clean.
On the ground floor of the hostel there was a large, modern bar with reasonable prices (pitcher beer for 14 pounds). Every day a different theme evening took place. Everything was possible from beer pong to karaoke and billiards. A DJ heated up with music properly.
In the small courtyard there was a smoking area, but you could only enter if you smoke. My buddy who just wanted to stand by was sent back in by the unfriendly security.
The security was the biggest joke in the whole hostel. Even if you were talking in the courtyard on the lowest possible volume, he came down furiously the stairs and asked "Keep your voice down, I'm not joking" for dead silence, otherwise you would fly out.
I understand that the guests who had their room windows facing the courtyard wanted to sleep at night. It eludes me only any logic that this is required, while until 3 o'clock at night the DJ plays at full volume music, which even with us in the room wobbled the beds.
It is important to know that every guest must have his or her room card in order to return to the hostel at night. At the hostel there is also a security at night, which leaves you without a room card even near the entrance.
The service at the front desk was top. Whether you needed information, wanted to order a pizza at night, or needed a taxi for your departure, the staff could meet all your wishes.
For two nights in which we have slept for maybe six hours, we had a good stay at Generator hostel.
