Nice location, great staff.
George, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful hostel. Clean, friendly, cheap for Copenhagen, and good vibes all around. The biggest perk is the location. Very walkable to any area you could want to go or the metro/buses. Absolutely would recommend.
Virginia, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Comfortable stay! Good location and friendly staff! Just didn’t know how to turn off our bathroom light.
Michelle, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Not enough airflow throughout the hotel. Rooms were clean and simple. Six minute walk from metro. Easy to get to from airport via metro
Dean, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It is a great property, the location it is so convinient.
pablo, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

It’s a hostel and was listed as a hotel on Expedia. Not as advertised.
Lisa, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

This place is usually great. Staff, location, clean. There was construction going on all night long this time around n made it hard to sleep. This does not reflect on Generator at all, but an honest review for the date.

Stefani, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We flew for more than 10 hours and finally arrived in this hotel. We were given the room with two bunk beds. I remember I reserved and paid for one full bed and one bunk bed. Since there is no phone in the room, we have to go back to the front desk to ask about the reason. They found out that in Expedia it was reserved as one full bed and one bunk bed. However, it was showed in their system that only two bunk beds room was reserved. They guess there must be glitch between the two systems, which the hotel and Expedia need to solve. Unfortunately, there is no room with full bed available that day. So we agree to keep the current room. Hotel is good to give us two days breakfast and some shampoo, conditioner as compensation. At least, it makes us feel better after long flight. However, we still hope Expedia can follow up on this issue. It did bring inconvenience for us.
Chen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room is small but clean, location is very convenient. The staff is friendly and accommodating.
Audrey, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Overall great stay!! Would return

Stayed in a 6-bed private room - fantastic price and amazing location! Beds and pillows were comfy. Great activites in the hostel. Downsides were the 1. noise of the nightclub that takes place on a Friday night, it went on until 3am I think 2. The bathroom sink is in the middle of the room and not in the toilet, just makes it loud when you wash your hands in the middle of the night Overall a great stay and I would recommend it and return here!
Aisling, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Please improve the Breakfast

I always choose Generator for good location , nice place friendly staff BUT …. Very disappointed with the very POOR BREAKFAST, juice very watery and fruit from a can very bad taste and very bad , PLEASE, you need to improve the breakfast!! THANK YOU
Blanca, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

6/10 Okay

The Generator is a bare bones place to stay in a great location. An easy walk to everything! Pretty basic accommodation but perfectly clean.
Emma, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Appreciate this was a budget stay but I still expect the room to be clean, which it really wasn’t. The bed was covered in hair and the floor felt really dirty under foot. Would suit backpackers / students more so than families / couples
Natalie, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hostel

This hostel had a nice vibe We booked a private room with washroom and room was nice comfortable clean and great value for money They also have cycles for rent which was so convinient for us to roam the city Doesn’t have dinner options but breakfast is available at property and staff was very helpful and good
Harshada, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

There is a supermarket right in front of this hotel.
K, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were visiting as a family of four, woth two young ish kids 6 and 9. We had a family room with bunk bed. Having separate shower and toilet was good with the sink in the room. The dining options were good and loved the games tbere. The breakfast was a little limited and the cooked breakfast was sadly not available,due to Oil needing changed in tbe kitchen?! Overall a great experience and tbe staff was friendly. Sadly the light in the showroom wouldn't turn off and was on all night, whi h wasn't great for both nights we were there. This was highlighted to the team, but maintenence had been unable to fix it. Convinent and a good price
Kim, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Billy H, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Would not recommend.

Our room was smaller than expected, bathroom sink and shower wasn’t draining properly. Customers have to pay for their luggage to be stored is greedy! Bright note, the staff was friendly and it was in good walking radius of everything.
