The restroom was in pretty bad shape; the shower leaked water onto the bathroom room floor and it remained wet the rest of the time. There a smell of mold all over the bathroom and it wasn’t clean properly. They charged per extra towels 5 euros just so I can have a towel to dry the wet floor. The “fresh” towels also smelled bad. Very disappointed on this property.

Checking in and out was a breeze. The staff is amazing- always ready to help with a friendly demeanor. The staff I’d encountered (consisting of many front desk reps and rooftop bartender), were all personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful with every question/issue I had. My room- was in a twin deluxe- was cute and IMMACULATE, the AC was pumping (I was able to adjust the temperature), and bed was comfy. Decor was cute and artsy. In all, Generator Rome for the place and staff - gets at A++!

The neighborhood- as you would be in any foreign city, keep your eyes open. You’re in the heart of Rome and whenever you’re in any “heart” of a major city, you will notice an evident urban “edge”- Rome is no different. The first couple of nights I took cabs everywhere, and then soon realized it was like NYC (where I grew up in)- and people keep to themselves as long as you do. Keeping my eyes open and being aware, I used public transportation everywhere from that point on- even on those late nights out. In the end, if I had to compare, if I were a newbie city traveler, I’d beg to say that the heart of Rome had a safer feeling than NYC.

A tip for US travelers - bring an adaptor if you want to use a USB, lightening port, or “regular” US electrical plug; their sockets are European ones. The hostel sells them but do bring one if you have.

Thank you Generator Rome staff for an excellent stay. 🤗 Lorenzo, the “music major,” and team- you’re all a gem!

Excellent and helpful staff. Needs a real kitchen. Limiting food on premises to only what can be bought at the hostel is a huge mistake. Not many good restaurants in the immediate area. Pre-packaged breakfast served on a tray with no choice allowed is dreadful and way overpriced at Euro 8. Would only recommend this hostel if you need to be near the train station.

Good staff, bad sleep

The hostel itself was nice and the staff were really friendly. The rooftop bar is a nice addition and a good place to go in the evenings.

The room was where I had my issues.
The air conditioning didn’t appear to be working, and when I asked it turned out the air con doesn’t get switched on at all in the evenings until the end of May. Given the heat at this time of year, I thought this was ridiculous. This resulted in people in my room opening the windows, which meant I could hear every loud banging noise that people in vans and trucks were making in the street below (this would happen all night).
The heat and the noise resulted in 3 pretty terrible sleeps. One small pillow was also not really enough comfort-wise.

Stated a one bedroom, but in fact paid $52 for a 8 bed dorm. This is a hostel not a hotel, in addition $10 gets u a croissant, coffee and fruit. Felt cheated and tricked. Bad karma as the owner is aware of the deception. Pay attention, don’t book here unless ur aware your paying to sleep in a large dorm and have no privacy! Will try to get refunded by Expedia

It was a shame that there was no access to the roof terrace between 10:00 and 18:00 and the bar was shut.

We booked a room with a king-sizes bed as that was how it was advertised, but really it was two single beds pushed together. Also to add, the rooftop bar was not open, we asked staff members and they said it was due to the weather but it was 26-28 degrees at the time. Location is fairly good, approx 15-20 min walk from Colosseum and a fairly close distance to the bus to airport.

Overpriced

We stayed 3 nights in a twin. It was essentially a hotel room, big and spacious with private bathroom. No problem with noise and very close to the train station.
However, no breakfast included, no kitchen and the washing machines are 4 euro per wash or dry, expensive.
I wouldn’t stay again as I think it’s very overpriced, I’d just stay in a regular hotel.

Lovely and safe hostel. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm and felt so comfortable and safe. The room was so clean and the area was very quiet. The hostel is close to the metro and train station so was convenient to get around Rome. There were also luggage lockers which were very affordable if you want to leave your bag there after checkout. The only downsides were the lack of self catering facilities and the rooftop was only open for breakfast and then 6pm-midnight.

Generator Rome features an excellent location a short walk from Roma Termini and public transport. The room and facility was very clean and the staff very friendly. The rooftop breakfasts/bar was another excellent feature. The location is excellent for logistics but a more rundown part of the city.

This hostel I really nice. It is safe inside, clean, spacious, and has a nice common area (although no one really used it). The staff were okay but not the most helpful. This is a less social hostel than others with no daily activities.
The rooftop bar was amazing and a great way to meet people. Good drink, good area, great view.

The area around the hostel was my biggest concern. I didn’t feel unsafe at all (as a solo female traveller) but it is definitely a worse part of the city because it is so close to the train station. All the main attraction of Rome are around 2kms away.

Convenient, affordable stay in Rome

Generator Rome was a nice, affordable stay in Rome. It's conveniently located to the metro and the Colosseum. The room was nice and industrial style - nothing fancy (no mini fridge), but very nice for the price. The staff is friendly, the front desk is stocked with snacks, and the rooftop bar is cute.

This property looks great in the images, but it is already quite torn. The carpet in the hallways is terribly dirty. The bedroom furniture is badly designed, a bad nonusable desk, two chairs that occupy much of the room but no place to put a suitcase. The place smells. It was an ok experience since the bed is good, but the room does not look very clean. The areas around the hotel are terrible, the area is the back of Termini Station obviously as in major cities this area is full of trash, with no good places, and no restaurants. not recommended. I had another booking later in the month and had to cancel, due to this bad experience.

When comparing this hostel experience with other hostels I have stayed at, I must say I was quite disappointed.

Pros: I stayed in the women’s dorm and that was the best part. The room was comfortable and clean.

Cons:
1. No kitchen access, limited public areas to socialize and you couldn’t bring your own food into any public areas.
2. The hotel is not in the best area and I actually avoided going out at night. There was also trash all around the neighborhood.
3. Even though I found the bar upstairs pleasant, the food/drinks were more expensive than most places in the city center. The hostel also charges you for everything from a padlock, to towels to storing your luggage.

The staff at Generator Rome is exceptional. I checked in with Marco and Dominico. They made check-in simple and easy. Last night, I had trouble with my credit cards and Hayat and Tiziano were so under standing and helpful. I also meet the manager Bernadetta. Now I know why the staff is so great. I would never stay anywhere else when visiting Rome. You shouldn’t either.

I had a unique experience because I arrived two days early having already booked a private room and then needing to spend the first two nights in a dorm room. There were a lot of additional fees for the dorm room, including a 5 euro towel cost which I thought was a bit absurd.

I LOOOOOOOVED THIS HOSTEL! This place is a palace compared to many other hostels I’ve heard about and stayed in. The bathrooms are big and the rooms are spacious. I stayed in a room with five other people and we had TWO FULL BATHROOMS between us within the room. And we also had AIR CONDITIONING!!!! This was especially a heaven sent as Rome was extremely HOT during the summer. The staff was friendly and always smiled when interacting with them and kept everything very CLEAN. The neighborhood the hostel is in is not the best, but I also didn’t feel unsafe. If I ever find myself back in Rome I would definitely stay here again. Generator Hostels are the best, but especially in Rome.

One of best hostel I have stayed in.

Pros
√ Extremely clean and spacious.
√ Staff is super friendly and helpful.
√ Beds are very comfortable (memory foam I believe) and the blanket feels just like the one back home.
√ Huge lobby to relax/spend your evening meeting people/playing cards, etc.
√ Buffet Breakfast is 7£ but is worth it as you can eat as much as you want. Get yourself an espresso for £1.50 and start your day Italian-style!
√ Central location. (1 Metro stop away from Termini)

Cons
√ None

Would recommend.

Brilliant place to stay and not far away from some nice restaurants etc for the evening. Only downside for us ( as a couple in our late 20s) there were quite a few teenage/ young adults running around chasing and shouting really early in the morning (3am ish) however I guess this type of accommodation is more attractive to younger travelers, something for us to bear in mind for future travels. The place was brilliant though and the staff were very friendly and helpful!

Okay for 1 night, nice decor but wear & tear shows

Stay for one night in transit in 6 bed mixed dorm. Staff accommodated my request to switch beds in same room after I saw layout. There were two bathrooms which would have been nice but the door latch/lock on one bathroom didn’t work some most people only used the one. The room and bathroom were clean when I arrived the the bathroom could have benefited from a mud-day cleaning since most of use were using only one of the two in the room. The decor through the hostel is nicely done but this is a large hostel that has a lot of guests which shows in wear & year throughout (worn hallway carpets, broken door latches, have to push toilet button a particular way to actually flush, etc). As with other Generator hostels, there is an in-house bar and cafe with convenient but overpriced food and drinks. I found the food selection here to be limited and no outside food is allowed. The hostel is very close to Termini so there are lots of people on the streets in the area around the hostel. I found this similar to large transit centers I’m familiar with in the US so I used the same general precautions and felt safe.

Overall, good good for one night stay that is convenient to transportation and sightseeing, but I wouldn’t stay for an extended period of time.

I really enjoyed my private room in this Hostel. The bed, shower, and wif were all pluses. The location is just a block away (or basically connected to the hotel) from the Vittorio Emanuele subway station and was perfect to get to the tours and activities that I had planned for the trip. It is also just minutes of a walk from Roma Termini- which was my method for getting to the airport (14 euros) and has nice restaurants and shops.

The Generator Rome Hostel was Excellent. The room I was in was very clean with plenty of space for all the guests. My room had two bathrooms in the room. One was very large and the other one was a nice size as well. I knew the Generator would be nice place to stay. I use Expedia and the guest ratings are very accurate. I have stayed in different hotels, B & Bs, and hostels over the 160 days I have been in Italy, in the last 16 months. What made Generator better than all the others has nothing to do with the excellent hotel accommodations. It was the staff at Generator that was so amazing, friendly and helpful. The best group of staff members I have ever meet in my years traveling around the world. When I checked in with Marco and Aldo I was very happy and surprised how friendly and helpful they were. They answered all my questions. Later I meet Tania. She was as wonderful and helpful as well. The next morning during breakfast I meet Hayat and Dominika. Hayat was working registration and Dominika was working the breakfast. They were very friendly and answered more of my questions. They all spoke English very well. Even though I asked so many questions. They keep answering them and helping me with all of my needs. Finally, I meet Mark and he was great as well. I will be back in Rome very soon and will definitely stay at Generator. I hope to meet the Owner/Supervisor/Manager. She must be an amazing person as well. Grazie staff. See you soon!!

I liked the layout of this location versus the one in France. It is located in walking distance to the Roma Terminal - a major train station. I was able to get to the airport in 30 minutes.

I stayed in a 6-person room and I much preferred it to the 4-person room I had in France. The lounge has a bar and was inviting enough to spend time in it. For the price do not expect a 3 star hotel experience, but as a place to lay down your head after a day/night of sightseeing and/or drinking its was well worth it.

Very nice room and clean nice shower, modern and comfortable, downfall is the location. It's near a subway stop to get to attractions and places to eat but the immediate area is a sketchy neighborhood, feels dangerous and it's not comfortable to walk to and from at night, and not very clean. Also if you use subway be aware they quit just after 11pm.

My overall experience here was good the place is decently clean but needs a renovation badly, the actual location of the hostel I found to be very sketchy I actually had to stop a guy from stealing from one of the girls in the common area he was not staying in the hotel he had wandered in off the street and was trying to pickpocket people in the bar. This is not my first time in a hostel and it's not the worst but the area is the reason for the negative points.
