    Comfy hangout zone with vending machines, classic red bus, independent cafés, and close to transport hubs. Cons: Just loved the inconvenience of buying towels for £5 and the pleasure of showering in bathrooms with poor ventilation.

    The private twin room at Generator London was cozy and had everything I needed. The bunk beds with wash basins were a cool touch, and having my own locker made me feel secure. As a budget traveller, the £20 minimum price was a steal.

    Personally, I found the restriction for guests under 18 a bit strict. However, I understand it's for everyone's safety.

    Perfect location, spotless rooms and bathrooms, helpful staff. I appreciated being able to purchase an oyster card on-site, and the laundry room was a convenient surprise. Despite some drawbacks mentioned in other reviews, overall I would recommend this hotel.

    Convenient location, walking distance to St-Pancras and major London attractions. Clean and comfortable 10-bed dorm in the basement with AC and spacious bathroom. Sink and locker provided, modern design. No bed bugs or theft reported.

    Great location, convenient for amenities and public transportation. The beds were comfortable and the showers were hot and clean. I appreciated the ample number of toilets and sinks on the ground floor. The hostel felt secure and the socially distanced beds were a plus. The lockers were also a helpful feature.

    The decoration of the hotel was absolutely charming, with bold graphics and vibrant patterns that captured the cosmopolitan vibe of London. The general areas were well-maintained and accessible for senior people, providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for relaxation and socializing. The hotel's location in the vibrant area of Bloomsbury made it easy for me to explore the city and enjoy nearby bars and restaurants, which was perfect for my senior travel needs.

    I would ask for a better vacation experience for senior people if the children of the staff could ensure quieter hours during the night, especially for those who prefer a peaceful rest.

    The place is nice and comfortable, with accommodating staff. Late check-out available for a fee. Good for budget travelers who don't mind walking to tourist attractions.

    We had a blast exploring London with our squad. The free walking tour was DOPE, we saw all the must-visit spots. The billiards and karaoke were off the hook - we had a blast making memories with new friends.

    The only thing I'd ask for is an even better party scene for young, fun-loving peeps like us!

    The hostel offered a variety of amenities such as a bar, clean facilities, and a delicious breakfast. It was a great place for a big group of friends on a budget.

    Felt really good, no complaints.

    This hotel is located in a beautiful part of the city, just a short walk from Russel Square and close to great places to eat. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I also enjoyed the breakfast included with my stay.

    The only issue I had was that the rooms were a bit small for four people.

    I had an amazing stay at Generator. The hostel is fun and vibrant, and the reception staff were fantastic. The rooms were well-sized and had a wash basin, table, and chair. I also appreciated that I could put my own bedding on the bed, ensuring it was clean. The bar and restaurant were busy and reasonably priced, although I didn't eat there. The interior decoration gave me the feeling of being in NYC. But the best part of my stay was the people I met. Staying in a 12-person room with all girls turned out to be the best option, as I made good friends and had many opportunities to socialize. The facilities were also cleaner than I expected, and the bathrooms were no problem.

    There was nothing I didn't like 😊.

    I chose this hotel for attending a symposium because it provides a conference room and Internet connection available for those traveling on business. The conference room was well-equipped and the Internet connection was reliable, allowing me to seamlessly conduct my work during my stay.

    One service that I missed for my work was the availability of a dedicated business center with printing and copying facilities.

    This hostel has a great vibe with quirky decor and friendly staff. The social atmosphere is perfect for young travelers like us who enjoy karaoke and casinos. The rooms are clean and the quality of the food and drinks at the bar is top-notch. The chillout room is a welcome addition, providing a space to relax. we felt very comfortable and would definitely stay here again.

    It felt like we were part of a family during our stay at this hostel. We had absolutely no complaints about our experience.

    Generator is conveniently located near Kings Cross Station, making it easily accessible by public transport. The hotel is also situated right off of Russell Square tube station, allowing guests to explore the city with ease. Additionally, it is close to the train station of St Pancras, perfect for travelers arriving or departing from London.

    Nevertheless, the noise levels in the rooms can be disruptive for light sleepers.

    This hotel is well located in a quiet area, just a short walk from London Euston train station. The prices are very reasonable and the attention to detail is impressive. The basic amenities are all there and the staff provide excellent service. The rooms, although small, are clean and comfortable, making it a great choice for a budget stay in London.

    The only downside is that the rooms are quite small, with limited space to hang towels or move around, especially if you are traveling with tired children. However, considering the affordable price and the included breakfast that even has hot food options, such as scrambled eggs, it's hard to complain.

    I stayed at Generator for a weekend getaway and it was fantastic. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The location was perfect, with easy access to the tube and nearby attractions. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had a separate change room. Plus, having a wash basin in the room was a great bonus.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    We had a fantastic experience at Generator! The staff were friendly and the ambiance was great. The hostel had a chill out zone and an onsite bar, which had a good vibe and allowed us to meet and chat with other travelers. The location was perfect, with easy access to pubs, parks, shopping, and a 24hr Tesco nearby. The hostel was also conveniently located near the tube station, making it easy to explore the city and reach the center of London in just minutes. We will definitely be staying at Generator again!

    No cons.

    The Generator in London offers a free walking tour of the city, allowing everyone to fully discover this amazing city. The hotel's recreational facilities, including billiards and karaoke, create a peaceful and fun atmosphere for families to enjoy during their stay.

    In my wife's opinion, having more child-friendly activities would be great.

    The dining area was surprisingly comfortable and relaxing with various seating options. The location was convenient to multiple tube stations and close to Kings Cross station. The rooms were clean and had secure lockers. The bathroom facilities were well-maintained and never too crowded.

    The staff could have been more informative and welcoming upon check-in.

    The location of this hostel was great, with easy access to public transportation and popular tourist attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing assistance whenever needed. The cleanliness of the hostel was impressive, making me feel comfortable during my stay.

    The room I stayed in was quite small, making it difficult to fit all of my belongings. The showers had a musty smell and were cramped, with the design causing splashing from other users.

    The comfy hangout zone with plenty of plug sockets and vending machines made me feel like I was in a cozy spaceship, ready to power up and explore the city. I settled into a bean bag, plugged in my devices, and enjoyed the buzzing atmosphere while planning my adventures.
