I was booked into this hostel for 6 nights when I arrived in London - all I can say is that I did not have one good nights sleep in this place. My room was right above the entrance, so I could hear people coming in and leaving the hostel at night and in the morning. People in this hostel... more

This was my first time in London and I thought why not stay at a hostel to save some extra money. Well I was pleasantly surprised by the Generator. The staff were super nice and sweet. My first night's stay I was in a 8 bed dorm, and the lady in the bunk under me was getting up every five... more

It was my first time in a hostel and I was traveling alone. I had a hard time finding the place because it was night, and the metro station nearby was closed so I couldn't really follow the indications I had. When I finally got there, I was glad to see that the staff was nice. I had a room... more

Situated between two stations - Russell Square (5 min walk away) and Kings Cross (10 min walk). I stayed in a 4 female dorm - it was clean but can be a little tight for space if you have a few trolley bags in the room. Bathrooms and showers are clean - there is someone who comes around frequently to... more

This place is currently a construction zone, not a hostel. Scaffolding and work taking place everywhere. Fair enough that they may need to renovate, but at least warn guests before taking their money. If we were advised there was going to be so much work taking place we would have stayed elsewhere. more

Great location, the facilty was pretty clean. There was some construction going on but nothing too obnoxious. The bar was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful. My first hostel experience and I was actually pretty impressed, I've stayed in hotel's that were not as nice. The only negatives were the things that have been mentioned ad nausium. People... more

This is a case of 'does exactly what it says on the tin'. It is a hostel after all, not a hotel. The rooms were very basic but clean and tidy. The bathrooms were adequate and on the whole , clean. Only downside was the lack of security. The bathrooms and showers had no locks on the main doors, so... more

Not very impressed in comparison to other hostels I have stayed at on my trip through Europe and the British Isles. It's a very large and sterile (but not "clean") hostel. If you are staying with a group of friends it might be fun but as a single traveler it's a bit impersonal. It has a bar and canteen on... more
