The pods are so small I could not get into them and when I asked for a switch to a shared room instead, I had to pay more. Towels were not included and you have to pay extra for a towel. The shower leaked water out to the floor so with a shared room of 4 people showering... You can imagine how flooded the bathroom became. Stepping on dirty soaked towel after washing my body was not ideal. Staff acted like there were out of it and the only thing good about this place was the cafe staff. They were nice and friendly and on top of it. I'm just glad that my roommates were nice.

Very clean, easy check in/out. About 30ish min from Red light district.

Stayed in a pod. Definitely go for the bottom one. Not amazingly comfortable... But not terrible either. Air conditioned it's more like a semi-cold tube of air

Biggest complaint. Definitely NOTTTT soundproof. You hear everything... But I head ear plugs so it wasn't bad.

First time in my many travels I left a hotel, but never expected so many issues during check in. Knowing I would be tired after travel I did online check in, but didn't help at all. When I arrived there was on person at reception with 3 in queue. They have check in machines in the lobby, but both I tried kept freezing at loading reservation. So I queued up like the rest, and took 6 minutes to check in with her. Nice they have an elevator which was worth the wait, but after getting to my room the key just did red over and over. That happens sometimes just sucks when you just arrived and your first time. Again waited 5 minutes for the elevator then back to reception with the same 1 person with 3 in queue. About 10 minutes later she gives me a new key, and back to the elevator queue then back up. By this time even holding the hallway doprs while I drag my luggage was starting to be a challenge. Super excited I got into the room so I could shower and sleep. But to my surprise they ga e me a bed and locker that someone else was using. Yet again down hallway, elevator, and reception queue with the people. Her colleague came back so this time she joined me. While in the elevator together she noticed she hit 2 I also saw it yet we both went to 3 where a group was waiting. When we both got to the room the girl in my bed was not there so I stops there about 10 minutes as she talked to a guy about locking them out until the girl comes back forcing her to reception. Felt so uncomfortale.

The room and the property in general were of a high standard as hostels go. It's also in a beautiful setting, adjoining a very nice park with a pond.

Staff were friendly and eager to please...., but weren't always able to, given the commercial set-up of the place.

It was a bit like when you book a budget airline to save money, and then the add-on charges for luggage, etc, end up deleting any price advantage you'd hoped for.

I was early at check-in, arriving at 11:00am, due to the timing of my transport to Amsterdam, and the eager staff member said that my room wasn't ready, but to come back and see her in an hour, but when I returned, she referred me to another staff member who said the room still wasn't ready but she informed housekeeping who said they would prioritise it...., but when I checked in another hour, nothing had changed, so I ended up waiting until the standard 2:00pm, anyway.

They were happy to store my luggage, of course...., for EUR3.50 per hour, and they were able to provide a towel for my stay for EUR 7.00 . Basically, everything, including food and indeed the price of the room, were mid-range hotel prices...., but it's a hostel.

Otherwise, all things considered, it was comfortable, clean, and convenient.

The area is very safe. We did not like having to make our own beds, especially because we had elderly people with us, so trying to put bedding on bunk beds was exhausting. We were OK climbing up the bunks, because we knew that beforehand, but we didn't realize the beds would not be prepared. Also, there are no towels. You need to rent them for, I think it was, €7 or bring your own. So we just didn't shower. 😕 Plus the sink wouldn't properly drain.

I know this isn’t the Rosewood, but this feels like a rip-off on all accounts.

Clogged shower and drain, you have to make your own bed in a private room, windows don’t open, there’s nothing provided besides soap, you have to rent towels, breakfast was the worst ever, bikes were in a rough shape (and that did not prevent the hotel from charging a fairly hefty price), and I can go on.

Honestly, one of my WORST stays ever.

I had a lovely stay in a 'pod' room at Generator Amsterdam during my trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the Pod was clean and fairly comfortable- no less comfy than a bunk, but with a bit more privacy. Cafe had food and drinks at reasonable prices. While I wasn't here long enough to check out the club or bar, the vibes were good all around and I felt safe and comfortable staying the night here. An interesting and positive experience! I would definitely consider coming back if I'm traveling solo in the area again.

While the hotel itself was nice and our stay could have been enjoyable, our experience was completely ruined by the unprofessional behavior of the receptionist, specifically the Asian lady at the front desk. She treated us with unnecessary rudeness and disrespect throughout our stay. Without clear explanation, she charged us extra fees and still made unreasonable demands — including asking us to remove our belongings from the room, even after we had paid the extra amount she insisted on. Her attitude was unwelcoming and dismissive, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. We expected much better service from a place like this. Unfortunately, because of her poor conduct, I cannot recommend this hotel to others.

It’s nothing special. It’s definitely a cheaper option considering how expensive Amsterdam is. I had a pod, which is the way to go. It was very quiet and clean. It is a little bit away from anything, but the 30 minute walk to the central station is very scenic.

The one issue that I had was that I had forgotten my Apple Watch in my pod. I contacted the staff to get it for me. I just got a message that read the cleaning staff will find it when they find it and I can pick it up. This is not a pair of shoes, so I had hoped that someone would have made an effort to get it while I was out. Because I was outside of Amsterdam, it took some time to get back there. My pod had not been cleaned yet, so my watch was sitting there. I had left it on a hook, and I knew exactly where it was. I think a staff member could have retrieved it.

I was on the top of 3 bunk beds, it is impossible to get up there first of all and I brought my stuff up like I usually do. It was a real struggle. It was also a million degrees in there. I was waking up every 5 minutes in my own sweat and didn’t sleep much at all really. Plus everyone in my room was quite noisy until 5 am and I had to be up at 6 am for a flight so there was next to no sleeping. I had a better sleep at the airport in wooden chairs. I’ve stayed at a generator before it and was great. Just make sure to get the beds at the bottom. Not bunk beds.

Thanks!

The building is really unique, and Generator have made use of it in a great way. I loved having the separate spaces to either work or hang out. The park is also beautiful, and it’s very well connected to the city with public transport.

Everything seems quite newly refurbished and in great condition. The locker under the bed was not very clean though, which wasn’t great as that’s where the bedding was stored. I was a bit bothered by having to make my own bed up too - haven’t had this situation in a hostel before.

I waited a long time to check in - the room wasn’t ready until aftet 4pm despite the 2pm check in time. Reception staff were apologetic and offered me a drinks voucher because of this.

It seemed like you might need to hire another housekeeper, as other people mentioned having the same issue with a very late check in.

Overall I’m happy I chose to stay here! Thanks

I got to the hostel pretty late and was very tired from all the commuting. You think of hostel as a place to sleep so I thought the moment I get to my room I can just sleep. But no, I had to make my own bed by putting on bed sheets etc. the bed sheets had holes and stains on them. I was on the first bunk bed and I can not count the amount of time my head hit the top of the bed. It’s so short and I’m a very short girl as well. I’ve also stayed at other hostels on this trip and bunk beds but this one felt exceptionally cheap.

We LOVED the Generator Amsterdam - we stayed in room 347 on the third floor and we had the most beautiful view of the park imaginable. It was truly spectacular, we watched life in the park at all times of the day and we felt as if we were in the trees with the birds - parakeets, herons, cranes and gulls. The staff were very helpful and friendly at all times, especially Yessica who looked after us during our stay. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. There was hardly any noise at all on the third floor. The breakfasts were wonderful - fresh fruit and pastries, savouries, juices, tea and coffee - perfect! We will definitely be back and we want to try your sister hostels in Berlin and Madrid too.

There is no lounge area to meet people or hang out it must be at the cafe and you must purchase something from it. I recommend paying for the breakfast in the morning it is very well done. The female staff were amazing I greatly appreciated them. The door in our room was linked to a glass room which was locked but was still open so we had a breeze the entire night.

If booking via Expedia, then your payment is just processed via your creditcard (e.g. after the payment you don't have to worry anymore), so no problem if you book via this app.

However, if booking via their own website, then your payment isn't really processed and claimed by the hostel. When you want to check in, you are told to pay for the booking at the reception, and you are told that the original payment for the booking isn't actually a payment but a failsafe for no shows. When you then pay for your booking, then your the original booking payment will be cancelled and the money returns to the creditcard/account.

This is a really weird and inconvenient process, because [1] you can only pay by debit card at the reception (no cash, cc), [2] if someone else paid for the booking/trip, the actual guest might not even have credit to pay for the room, and [3] the cancellation of your booking payment is done manually and therefore prone to human error.

Imagine that someone else pays for your booking, e.g. your boss or parent, and then you arrive at the hostel and suddenly you have to pay there, but you didn't bring any credit because the booking and payment are supposed to be done already. Then, you will not be able to check in because you can't 'pay' for the booking, while the original booking payment is not cancelled because you didn't check in.

Also, they charge you €5 for a small can of supermarket beer (€1 or less around the corner).

Wish they wouldn't charge for every little thing like €1 for a cup of hot water. Other than that, great place!

Everything was wonderful in this stay. The property was so clean and the staff was extraordinary. There was a surprising mixture of all ages. There was so many activities for everyone to do.
I stayed in the pods and it was amazing.

Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

Great stay overall

Great stay, beds and pillows are really comfy, had very good sleeps. Bathroom is very modern and clean. Would have been good if the shower temperature could have been turned up more, it really wasn't hot enough. Also there was no way to open the window. They have a ventilation unit with a fan and temperature control, but at points it was quite hot and I wanted to turn the temperature down more but couldn't

Minimalist room and it got very crowded in the downstairs cafe etc with many many traveling students. Everyone was pretty nice and location was excellent to city center. It was adjacent to a nice park.

Likes: Good price. Center of the city. Loved the property location in a public park with a pond filled with all manner of ducks and birds. Up early to feed them. Grocery stores nearby. Good transportation close by. Dislikes: Staff gave wrong directions to location. Bed unmade on arrival. Request for lower bed (I had an injury) not honored. Charge to rent a towel. Geared to Gen Z'ers in terms of most occupants during my stay and all marketing - see how your daughter/son is using that European excursion courtesy of the bank of mom and dad. Overpriced extras. Place itself otherwise pretty ordinary.
