Melhor estadia ever

Já me hospedei em alguns Generators pela Europa e esse é o MELHOR dos que já fiquei. Achei tudo excelente. Atendimento, limpeza, espaco do quarto, localização do hotel, a balada do hotel… sem reclamações

Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed my stay there. Everyone was friendly from the staff to the people staying there. Everything was walkable very nice place to walk things to do inside and outside. There’s a theme every night so there was something to do if you run out of ideas. I wouldn’t mind staying there again.
John, 6-night trip

A convenient place for solo travelers, adventurers, or young people. (I wish the Wi-Fi were faster.)
Zack, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a hostel located in a park, so nicely situated. Being a hostel it's very bare bones -- nothing fancy at all. Beds were moderately comfortable. Staff seems very helpful.

2/10 Poor

No air conditioning in the pod, complained to staff an then they put me in another pod also with no air conditioning, the key card stopped working multiple times i went to go for a shower with just a towel round my waist an couldn't get back to my pod because the card wasn't working so i had to go up to reception in just a towel, i was so embarrassed an the staff gave me another key card but didn't even apologise, i ive never been so humiliated in all my life

It’s a good hostel, highly recommended. Only few things are it’s very dusty & stuffy in the room that I stayed. Unable to open the window to circulate air from outside. My dust allergy got very bad. Also, they don’t clean the bathroom as often.
