Great price, good location, very kind and helpful staff, nice bar.

Pity that room didn’t have any table for small things or jacket hanger. Some people were loud almost whole night which was annoying.

Everything was kept very clean all the time (which is the most important thing to me). The bed is comfortable, as well as the pillow they give you. Each bed has one drawer that can be closed with a locker, which fits definitely a lot of things, it was very comfortable to keep all of my things (they were a bunch). The room also has a sink, which is useful so you don’t have to go to the toilet for every single thing. The staff is very nice, friendly and available for anything you might need. The food at the bar is great.

Just small things because overall it was great, but the sink in the room could have been cleaned more often, and the showers are pretty tiny: there is no space to keep you things inside, just a little hanger outside which could barely fit my towels, I had to use the hanger of another shower to put my clothes. The room I was in was also pretty tiny, definitely no space if you wanna just hang there for some time during the day.

The staff here are part of what makes this hybrid hostel/hotel so comfortable. The chef makes an awesome Full English. Any problem that might arise is taken care of. The sports area has good football. Kids and families can play pool, arcade games or shuffleboard, or the more competitive can spar at shuffleboard. The pub atmosphere is relaxed and fun, not aggressive. The only addition this London location could make is a morning yoga like in Madrid. It is o e of the best hybrid hostels in London. Three times I have stayed here, each was a nice experience!

Elevator can sometimes be slow but nonetheless happy it was here

Great location. Comfortable beds. Big lockers under the bed and sink in the room. Good atmosphere.

No kitchen to make your own food or heat things up. No water refill options. Only 2 USB A ports and no normal plug near the bed so charging other devices was a challenge. Had to share 1 bathroom with just 4 showers with 2 floors and I had to walk down every time to use the bathroom.

Very decent hostel. Likely the best in London, especially for the price. The staff were all really lovely. :)

The menu in the restaurant was good, but could have more variety. I don't eat fried food (chips as the British say ☺️) so a soup option would have been nice.

Well-organised place where a lot is going on. There was a bar, games some food, people quite liked it and it always felt lively and busy. I had a twin room which was larger than I expected for a bunk bed and a table, there was also a sink in the middle.

On Jan 1st 2025 there was strong rain, cold/frost & the New Year parade where a lot of people got soaked. The heating didn't work until 8 pm (it works through the night only). After asking at reception for any additional sources of heating, the answer was that it's centralized and nothing can be done. I found it pretty cold, with no chance to dry wet clothes. The internet wasn't good. Download 7-10 Mb/s, Upload avg 3-5 Mb/s.

Staying at Generator was a very pleasant experience. The location of the hostel is absolutely great (few minutes from tube station) and near a few bars and restaurants. The staff is very professional and always ready to help. The bed was very comfortable and the room was well ventilated. For those who like to have a drink or have fun with other guests, it is very nice that Generator has its own bar/club with music (keep in mind that the music is on every night until 3AM).

The only thing that can be a bit improved is about bathrooms - more space for storing clothes when showering and slightly better toilet hygiene.

Staff are amazing but their behavior and their customers service levels change if you become long stay guest ,except look for those members of reception staff they never change tusin,Beth,David,and security boss prince

I didn't like that this week after I extended and got confirmation paid full the property told me we are fully book after few days past my booking I had to do calls 📞 to booking.com finally I was allowed to stay stressful situation but overall I love ❤️ this hostel even tho I didn't get top floors bottom bed I requested

I was fortunate enough to have experienced both the Private Rooms and a couple of different dorms rooms during my stay here. (I had originally planned to only stay 2 nights as I had accommodation booked elsewhere however the other place was not for me so I came back and booked whatever I could at late notice). The place is cleaned throughout the day my multiple staff members and the desk staff were always there to help when needed. The location between 2 underground stations (Kings Cross and Russell Square, made for easy transport links around the city), it was also in a location where if like me you enjoy walking then everywhere was walkable (I was clocking 30,000 steps a day). The private rooms were a great respite after a busy day and the bed was super comfortable. One private room I had was on the 5th floor was a lot quieter than the other one I had on the 2nd floor but this was mainly due to people being loud late at night in the hallway. The dorm rooms I experienced were both on the basement level (both a female only dorm and a mixed dorm) this was ok for the price point. I loved the added mirrors and bench top in the female dorm room to be able to get ready. The mixed dorm was an interesting experience and something I hadn’t done in a long time.

The bathrooms on the basement floor were often blocked early in the morning and most of the locks on the shower doors were broken or didn’t lock properly. In the mixed dorm I had my things in one of the storage boxes (not under the bed) and someone checked in after me decided that instead of using their storage box that they would just pile everything of theirs on top of mine instead so I had reduced access to my things (this person slept through the day and was gone at night so we never spoke and hardly ever saw them). This was super annoying as each person is assigned a box that correlates to the bed number (theirs was underneath the bed).

The Generator London staff makes you feel at home and not only helps you with whatever you need, but will go out of there way to accommodate you in any way that they can. The energy is very upbeat and there are people from all over the world sharing a little bit about their background and their travels. The Generator London is located near every main train station you could need to take to get around London and there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and a grocery store within 1 minute walk. I extended my stay here and this was my first time ever staying in a hostel. The washer/dryer downstairs are much appreciated, clean well, and have energy efficient options.

There truly wasn't anything that I didn't like during my stay.
