At first we thought the hostel might be rubbish, because it was so reasonably priced, but it turned out to be great, and we were so glad we found this place. We arrived very late and despite the hour we were checked in very efficiently at the 24/7 reception. We settled into our rooms which were small but perfectly formed:... More

We traveled to Berlin as part of a 17 man group. I intentions were to go to bars and see a bit of Berlin while we were there. Berlin is easy to navigate because there is public transport everywhere and very cheap. The location of the hotel was good for this as it was next to a train and tram... More

As someone that travels alone, I like a hostel with a good vibe - few drinks to be had etc. and although the Generator has a bar, it was always empty aside from a few groups that kept to themselves. The hostel as a place to stay is quite good, showers are always hot, rooms are spacious (I stayed in... More

Stayed here with 6 others for a stag weekend. Rooms were spacious, clean & tidy. WIFI on the ground floor only which is a bit frustrating but as we weren't there to surf the net in a hostel it wasn't too big of an issue. 24 hour reception, helpful and informative staff. It isn't luxury but I wouldn't imagine people... More

This hotel was about 40 minutes on the train from the Schoenfeld airport and situated next to the train station so was really easy to get to. We bought a weekend pass at €26 for travelling around the city but not one person checked our tickets on the train all weekend. It's a nice clean & cheap hotel and excellent... More

Velodrom is so close (you have to go underground metro station), rooms are really cheap. People are very friendly and there is a hotel bar. Personnel is really nice and helpful. I think if you gonna spend all day outside it's the best choice. I don't know if it was just my room, but people go to bed really early... More

We stayed at a double room (ensuite) and a four-bed-room. Both rooms were spotless! The ensuite room had a small bathroom with a shower included - very nice and conveniently, cleverly solved, as there is indeed not too much space. The Generator is perfectly located, pretty central! The hostel has a very nice beer garden, plus a meadow where you... More
