Great location. Great breakfast. This is a high volume operation hostel with so many guests running through it everyday. Centrally located with a short walk to major attractions. No hassle and no nickel picking as most hostels in Europe do.

Snoring by roommate kept me up all night, but there’s nothing the hostel can do about it. My advice to those who snore or have sleep apnea to stay away from hostels and shared accommodation. It’s not fair for the rest of room occupants to suffer throughout the night while you blissfully rest in oblivion!

Great location for getting around. This was my first time in Berlin and felt very easy to go about and see the main sights. It's not a 'pretty' area but convenient and felt safe. The room was clean and all the girls were very quiet and respectful. The bed was comfortable enough and felt private as your head was covered. I was going to bed early/waking up early and basically never crossed paths with anyone as they were out or asleep. The breakfast was simple (muesli/yogurt/fruit/toast/bread/ham/cheese) but very convenient as there isn't much around the hostel other than sub-par cafes.

There was no aircon in the room and the window only opened a fraction. It was SO HOT. It was a warm when I was there (28 degrees celcius) and the room felt warmer. Literally had a cold shower every morning and night to cool down. In the end it wasn't as unbearable as I thought it was going to be and I slept fine but if you struggle sleeping in hot temperatures - beware!

Perfect location, cool staff. Chose this place to stay because it has great place to hang out in the evening or during the day.

We ordered a pizza. It was pepperoni pizza which doesn’t come with jalapeno peppers and isn’t stated in menu that it comes with it unlike it’s stated for other pizza. We thought we ordered wrong but after ordering it again we had them on again. Thankfully none of us were allergic but person who wanted it doesn’t like spicy food so maybe change the menu and state it’s in there..other than that it was okay, apart from waking up at 5am from other guest watching videos with no headphones on. Nothing to do about that so I’d say the stay was nice.

Great hostel and super social. Very large as well so more likely to meet people if you want to. Rooms were really nice and had big lockers. Awesome social area with great bar with pool tables and shuffle board. Location awesome as well. We missed breakfast everyday but they have it for €8.50 which is good value

Please spend like €20 on some new pool cue tips!! The tables are actually OK (on a big lean) but all the cues are broken. Every single hostel I've ever been to with pool tables has been the same. Just get some decent tips! The pub crawl that starts from there is a massive scam (organised by other company though). €25 which is already expensive, and you have to take so much public transport to get to the pubs. Don't do it.

We stayed in a private room with a private bathroom for 6 people and loved it. The room was very clean, each person had their own storage, and the beds were very comfortable. It was a great space for 6 of us for the weekend and exceeded our expectations. Location was good - close to public transportation, Alexanderplatz, Mitte, and Prenzlauer Berg. Easy to walk everywhere or go by tram if not. The staff was also very nice, and the common space downstairs was great.

Our shower always leaked all over the floor, but since the shower was in a separate room than the sink/toilet, it wasn't too much of a problem. Also, the room did not come with towels or shower soaps - we rented our towels for 5 euros each.

The location was great! And for a Hostel, it was very nice and clean. We had a private room for our family of 6 with a private bathroom and shower. This met our needs well for our stay and was much cheaper than any of the nearby hotels. The restaurant seemed pleasant and lively, but we didn't utilize it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Beds were surprisingly comfortable

The blankets on the bed were rather narrow and while very thick and warm, barely covered the body if you are a side sleeper. It was a bit loud with street noise and partying, but it was actually quite mild for Hostel standards

Room for six is quite spacious. Beds are comfortable, clean linen. Towels for a fee, Shower and toilet in the room are separate. The location is great - 5 minutes to Alexanderplatz with all means of transport. There is also a fluxbus stop there. Make the microwave accessible to everyone. And so everyone liked it. The security system is good.

They cleaned well enough, but when the shower got clogged and I reported it to the administrators, nothing was fixed, at least until my departure. There are no kitchens and refrigerators, nowhere to cook. Receptionists can give you hot water and microwave something. So take care of dinner yourself, and breakfast did not suit me in terms of composition. But the way to lock the locker is bad. The latch scrolls and does not hold the door.

It is located in so close to the one of the most popular place of Berlin and so it is easy to arrive there by tram. The beds are so comfortable but in my room, there were 6 people and the room was so small for that much people I think. But, if you stay not too long in Berlin, here is a good place in terms of price and performance.

There were no free luggage room. In the downstairs of the reception, there are lockers cabinets but with a high cost. (24h-8€).

I definitely liked the location (very close to Alexanderplatz) and the rooms. Normally in Hostels in this price range, you feel like cramped in the rooms. But Generator offers a lot of space and the bunks are relatively stabel, so it doesnt feel like to be in an earthquake whilst your roommate climbs in his/her bunk. Also, the bunks offered all the necessary accessories, charging up ur phones, lights, etc. Check-in was a no brainer. Everybody checks in digitally by him/herself.

Please more storage possibilites in the bathroom. I didtn like my roommates (very noisy and...well a bit ruthless) but thats not the fault of Generator :-)

The bathroom was cleaned everyday and there was toilet paper and soap (I’ve seen some comments that there was no soap or paper), the beds were as comfortable as it can get in a hostel and the linen were clean and on top of the bed (you have to make the bed yourself). The location is literally perfect.

You have to do check in and check out on your own which can be tricky, you have to pay for the padlock if you want to lock something in the drawers so I would suggest bringing your own. The only real drawback I would say depends on your luck and the people that you’ll have to share the room with. My experience was very neutral on that part. Also keep in mind that even though the bathroom is cleaned everyday, the hostel hosts people from different countries and cultures who mostly come in Berlin to party so it can get pretty disgusting but it’s quickly cleaned.
