Easy check-in, checkout process. Convenient location. WiFi did not work in my room. So had to rely on my phone hotspot or sit in lobby area. Room was relatively clean with storage for personal items. The only issue is that bathroom water was overflowing into the living space. In the end, it IS a shared space so roommates cannot be guaranteed. It was a mixed experience for me as a few people were really loud for part of my stay, including watching videos without headphones and talking on speaker phone late at night.

Yuck. Fat bed bugs. Filthy showers. Staff doesn't do proper cleaning.
I stayed for several days and there was some crusty stuff on the bathroom faucet. I felt dirtier after using the sink to wash my hands. No one ever bothered to clean them in all the time I was there !
Several of the showers were missing curtains, and someone had cut little holes in the remaining curtains, so they could peek at those who were taking showers without a curtain.
Have always had good experiences at other Generators, but not this one.

Would not recommend this for a first hostel experience.

Felt bugs crawling on me at night, dorms had a bad smell, people getting it on in the washroom, roommates had soiled clothes hanging everywhere.

This is literally a frat house with 0 AC.

Also rooms were not gendered, didn’t make me uncomfortable but as a general safety concern would not travel here alone.

People aren't briefed about basic rules and expectations, cleanliness is out the door, guests rummaging at 1/2am with no regard for keeping it down for other people in the room.

I checked out 1 day early, def not worth it, pay the extra price and get a hotel. First and last motel experience.

Overall just sketchy to be honest.

Great location right near Alexanderplatz near the TV Tower. Definitely good facilities for the cost. I never stayed in a hostel before and was not explained about how linens worked and was asked to pay again although I had been charged. Young guy behind counter was unprofessional, using curse words when we arrived, and didn’t give me keys to our room. I was only staying for one night due to a cancelled flight so I’m not super mad but sleeping on an uncovered mattress and pillow was gross. Following morning during check out, that desk guy was rude. Won’t be staying here again.

Great place for the money & handy location near the central train station, which gives you good access to the whole city. Obviously one’s privacy is compromised although everybody was generally very considerate. Every 2 or 3 nights someone seemed t stumble in after midnight & decide that it was a good time to clang around & set up shop I instead of going to bed. But, that comes with the turf.
They serve an adequate breakfast for 7 €. Showers are real good & rest roms well maintained. Good experience. Great for the shoestring budget.

When we first arrived, we discovered that although we paid for 3 people and an \"extra person fee\" (4 total) in a 4 person room, this \"extra person fee\" did not mean they would not rent the room to another party. We were told this is an Expedia issue and I had to pay an additional $65 to ensure we would not have other guests in our room.
Additionally we were disappointed to learn after arriving that the club downstairs no longer existed. We had planned to utilize that amenity.

Also were not aware there is NO AC what so ever and it was over 90 degrees , so you can imagine how uncomfortable it was in the rooms.
All in all not a good stay and I would not recommend.

Very bad experience, but good building

It was a really great hostel, but the service wasn't that great. My sister and I were assigned the same bunk. She had the top bunk, I had the bottom. We had gone in and put our stuff in the lockers under the bed, but when I had come back someone had taken my bed and put all their stuff on it. I talked to staff, but they didn't seem to care and told me to deal with it or move it. I moved it as they said to stay with my sister, my locker, and to share the charging adapter. But since this is a big party hostel, I kept getting woken up by people coming in at late hours. Then eventually got screamed at 4am by the girl who had taken my bed before. She went down to the staff and I guess again they didn't care. She came back and loudly complained about me with her friends for a long time. The hostel isn't to blame for the girl, but they didn't care to resolve this issue. If you don't want to party till morning, don't expect to get sleep or don't book this hostel. Also the showers are completely open.

Group stay of 2 nights

We were a group of 14. We were given two private rooms. One slept 8 and the other 6. The whole group were each given a room key.
The rooms were spacious and clean.
For most of us it was our first stay in a hostel and we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and comfort.
Each bed has two lockers. The 8 bed dorm has a shower room with a curtain so the toilet and sink were still accessible to others. In addition we had a smaller room with a sink and toilet.
Very impressed.
Would 100% stay again.
The hostel also has a small bar and offers breakfast.
We took advantage of the free walking tour which left from the hostel at various times.

It was okay. It had a lot of college students just trying to get drunk in a foreign city. It felt more dorm like than other hostels I've stayed in. If you like that, then this is your place. I like to explore cities and crash at the hostel to sleep and head back out the next day. I'm less interested in getting as drunk as possible and throwing up in the shared bathroom (this occurred here twice of the two nights).

For some reason my reservation was cancelled and I paid double at the counter. The staff was often rude. For instance a woman in front of me got a beer and used a card, I attempted to and the staff said no, that it was a €10/minimum - the sign clearly said €5.

The room was nice, although the lockers were on the small side. We luckily only brought small bags. The bathrooms were on either end of the long hall, and the showers were locker room-style: no privacy.

The laundry facilities and underground luggage lockers were very useful and operated well.
