10/10 Exceptional

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 Exceptional

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

10/10 Exceptional

We arrived on a Friday about 4 and the bar area was already busy. The bar games were great and we enjoyed meeting other travellers. The room was small, but had everything you need. It did get very warm and due to how busy the area is it was quite noisy outside so we needed to keep the windows closed. Overall we loved the hotel and look forward to staying at others across Europe.
Glyn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was in a very good location the main lift was a bit slow the bar had run out of crossiants on the morning we came down for breakfast. The room would have benefitted from a hoover and a bath mat
Wendy, 3-night trip

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

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent choice for central Copenhagen. Stayed in a private ensuite room for 2 and while maybe not quite at the level of a good hotel everything was perfectly acceptable
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyable!

Great location and the room was quite clean! The website says AC but it was boiling hot and no air conditioning which was disappointing.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This Hostel is super close to everything. It’s about 350 m from the metro station at the center of town.. that makes it a one line 7 stop ride from the airport, which is great. It also puts it at the center all the tourist attractions. The only downsides are: the rooms are a little cramped, and the building can get heated up if it’s a hot day outside (I was there in September so just opening the window fix the problem, but I could see that during the heat of the summer it could be a bigger issue). I liked it a lot. I’m going back.
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, curtains only covered half the windows so woken up at dawn but otherwise great. Bar was buzzing and staff were friendly and helpful.
Elaine, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth the value.

We booked a room with two single beds and own bathroom, hence I expected a decent standard level, though it’s a low budget place. The room was really warm, and it was not possible to air out, curtains was dirty, the bed should have been retired 7 years ago, since the comfort was gone and it was screaming for dear life, at any turn. Besides above the staff was really friendly, serviceminded and helpful. The place is located very well, and it’s easy to check in and out.
Kathe, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super clean and great staff!
Rebecca, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall good quality for a hostel although the toilet in the room was broken. The staff were super friendly and helpful and efficient. I rated three stars because it was way too expensive for a bunk bed. If this was an appropriate price then I would have rated five stars as it’s a good hostel! Great location and clean. Good to be able to rent a bike. The locker was useful.

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.

The mixed 8 persons room was too small in a way. It was a warm day (22°C ish) and could not open windows. Ventilation was terrible for this time at least. I had a decent buffet breakfast. Very friendly staffs. Appreciate good front desk service.
