Generator Hostel, Rome

All.

Pillow not soft enough.

distance form the tran station

the toilets

Easy to find, near Termini station. But for two friends it’s not okay, because the price is high and for that amount two people can get a hotel room.

Overall, the hostel is fine, but there are a few small things that could be improved. First, in the room there’s no way to dry your hands after washing — yes, there are towels for the shower, but it would be great to have something simple just for drying hands (like paper towels, a small hand towel, or an air dryer). Second, if you rent a towel for €5, you still have to buy your own shampoo or soap, which feels a bit inconvenient. Also, the entrance door is very noisy when people come in or go out, especially at night.

Clean, safe, quite, amazing staff.

Toilet door locks were not great. Should replace those as either really difficult to lock, or really difficult to unlock. Might just have been the two bathrooms in my room.

The hostel itself is very clean and looks good. The staff is great and the rooms are good

The area didnt feel safe for me to walk around at night... its very close to termini station but the people that are often in the street didnt make me feel safe. If you take taxis its okay... at night i dont recommand to walk alone. Also, In the bathroom in my room (214) theres no place to put your clothes when u shower, i recommand to add alittle shelf

The relaxed feeling in lounge /bar area

Location

I liked the position of the hostel and options that are related with staying (such as breakfast, chilling room and game options).

I didn’t like unavaliability of a water kettle and towels. Also, there is terrace at the 2nd floor for smoking which closes as 9 pm. Usually there is a rooftop terrace, but it was closed during my staying at the end od October.

Good location, staff was kind

A bit expensive for what it offered Beds have no elastic bedsheets, you have to sweat to make the bed, consider the lower bunkbed is fully enclosed and wrapping the matrass in the bedsheet is tricky. For what I paid I'd say expecting an elastic sheet is fair. Breakfast is a very cheep arranged: considered what they charged you can head to a local cafeteria and get much better breakfasts for the same money.

accessible, staffs are friendly and accommodating. Though its a 6 beds in a room, there are 2 bathrooms available.

None

Beautiful room and facility ! Very posh hostel

They don’t have a lot of events or activities going on They did not have facilities to keep our luggage go free after checkout

The hostel's structure is very good overall

Not enough space for putting my stuff in the area near my bed.

Good location, close to train and metro station. Nice spaces and staff are friendly and on hand to help with any needs you have.

Surrounding streets didn’t feel very safe but the hostel was managed well and always had staff present, felt very secure inside. Was very expensive for one night in a hostel but perhaps standard pricing for Rome.

It's a nice hostel near the train station, with a cute bar on the first floor. The rooms are clean and the location is okay, about 20 min walk to the Colisseum and maybe 30/35 min to the other attractions. Each bed has a small lamp, a plug and a locker !

Half of the plugs in the room were not working, as well as the lock of one of the bathroom of our dorm, reducing to one bathroom instead of two for a 10 beds room. Also, there is a light in the corridor staying on all night long, which can be disturbing if you don't have a night mask.

Clean rooms and decent

No privacy in your bed (curtains or something)

Clean bed and facilities, comfortable bed, very important that did not make noises when you move

I would say that some staff can give less fks about you, they make clear they actually do not care about you being nice or making conversation, it feels like they are over it. Like they stopped pretending being nice but they are still respectful tho.

Only good thing about this Hostel is the terrace!

Neighborhood is rough, and 50 Euros for a bunk bed sharing with 5 more people is bit much!

I loved how spacious the room was and the chill atmosphere of the lobby/lounge. The staff was also super helpful, friendly and available around the clock. It was definitely a worthwhile place.

I didn't like that the storage under my bed was broken so it was hard to lift the top of it and maneuver putting my bags in it. It also didn't lock so it wasn't fully secure. Also, the light turned on automatically when I entered the room very late at night and woke up one of the girls sleeping there. It would be nice if it didn't automatically turn on.

The location, The ambience.

The terrace was closed but I was explain that is closed because of the season

Clean, staff welcoming, spacious 8-bed room with two windows/natural light and two bathrooms, easy walk from/to train station.

Pricey for an 8-bed shared room but big city, they were competitive at the time.

Great location, bed and room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Overall a pleasant stay

Had to pay to rent a towel.

- Staff available 24/7 - Bathroom and bed linen were clean

- Lockers for storing suitcases after checkout are chargeable (8€ for 24h) - Close to the train station, not really safe at night, but close to the center and well connected

Helpfulness of the staff. Lounge area was very relaxing. Lockers we're a good feature

Washroom with bidet was perfect. Great location accessible for all main streets. Staff are friendly

The bed is too noisy you can hear someone is moving in the bed.

The whole place was super neat, modern and fresh - really nice vibe. The room was perfect size for one person and luggage. The bar area was nice and cozy.

The nights I went down to the bar for food/drink the staff member working there was often absent - long waits to be served. Wasn't sure if this was because he was off doing other jobs around the place elsewhere? He was friendly and had good service when he was there though.

Everything was perfect. The staff, the room, roomates, lockers, a cute photobooth in the loby. No complains

The only thing that isn't the best is the neighbourhood. As a solo female traveler I didn't feel safe at night, so I recommend taking a taxi to the hostel at night. That worked out perfectly for me.

Very close to the train station

Shower door needs fixing as does not close properly, making the bathroom wet.

Near the station. Helped staff. They had bathroom each room.

I was just unlucky, but the person in the same room snores so loudly that we tried to stop his snores several times. I think everyone couldn't sleep well. someone used my sheets for privacy curtain. so I picked up my sheets to the reception but I waited for around 30 mins:/

Everything great, recommended

Good location and friendly staff

The noise of the other guests and different times coming in the room or late night

Stayed only one night, in private room, not dorm. Location was very important for me, being able to get to Termini on foot. A lot of people express concerns about the area, but to me it seems that it more feels unsafe then it actually is unsafe. Room was good size, bed was comfortable, everything in the room was functioning.

Bathroom did not seem cleaned 100%. Not critical, just did not feel spotless. The window of the room literally looked onto two terraces, that are immediately close, so no privacy unless with fully drawn blinds. And very little natural light.

- Great location - Price is reasonable - Staff were friendly - a lot games if you want to socialise with others

- My socket at my bunk didn’t work, there was something stuck inside. - One of the bathrooms locks didn’t lock. - When someone opens the door to your open it makes a loud buzzing noise before entry and it wakes the whole room up. - the lights in the ceiling kept flickering.

Nice and clean place, the bedding was exceptionally pristine and the same the room and toilet. easy to check in and very convenient located. I didn't find the area bad for walking at night. I was on my own and perfectly walk everywhere at night.

My bed didn't have a USB port. i went to the reception to tell them as i didn't have a socket converter. they insisted there was one but there wasn't. Maybe there was one before but it was just a whole on the socket.

Cleanliness

Nothing

It’s located in city center and it’s easy to check all classic attractions by feet. Also the rooms are nice, the personel is great

The neighbourhood is questionable (but the hotel itself cannot influence this of course), no kitchen or kettle in the rooms (since it is a hostel, it seems usual to have a kitchen there)

Price, comfort and bar. Close to stsrion

Bar could've been open more

Generator Rome was good. Nice location close to the train station and metro stop. Primarily residential neighborhood, so during the day there was lots of activity around, but at night became very quiet. Facility was nice and hallways never became too loud at night. Room was basic, but was good for the price and comfortable.

Room could have had shelf space or a dresser. There was no place to put clothes other than 5 hangers. There was no safe in the room. There was also no hand towel or wash cloth provided, just a bath mat and bath towel. Front desk staff in the morning/early afternoon was not the most friendly and seemed annoyed during the check in process.

Main floor and rooftop are amazing.

The hostel has no kitchen. The environment could have been better.

It was close to the train and metro station… the rooftop bar was good also

Cleaning, wifi and air conditioning

Bed length is tightened, if you open the bed from the leg side it would be great.

Fantastic location. Very well connected to public transportation. Rooms are clean and spacious.

AC temperature could not be controlled despite there being the buttons to control it. Hence the room was extremely cold at night

Spacious room, 2 bathrooms in the 6-bed room, 24/7 reception, convenient location

The location is in a sketchy neighborhood. Be careful walking there at night.

The place is nice and the environment is good. I especially want to thank the smart and kind Filipina lady (Ms. Philippine) for her patience and help.

However, I would like to raise a concern: there was a 4-hour delay after I made my online booking. I had to stay outside waiting for someone to check out before I could enter. That was quite inconvenient. Overall, I appreciate the service, especially the professionalism and patience of Ms. Philippine.

Location was great, a nice walk to the Colosseum although the walk back is uphill! Great facilities and comfortable rooms

Couldn't fault the staff, facilities and cleanliness - they were all fantastic. It's just the location that is less than perfect.

While its proximity to Termini is a plus, the actual location is a bit dodgy, with hassle from men on the street meaning women can feel unsafe / uncomfortable.

Reccimend but staff was bad

It would be good if they added curtains to the beds.

Enough place Rooftop Location Bed’s are comfortable

Closing time rooftop/ smoking area Washing machine problem - just 2 No real kitchen Many employees .. so - clarity is missing Price of the lockers No fresh air in the rooms

It was close to Roma termini station and convenient to catch the Leonardo train in the morning for a flight. Lockers felt secure. Security at the entrance in the evening. Everyone at the front desk was very nice.

Far from clean. I understand this is a hostel , but of all hostels I’ve stayed at in private rooms , this room was the dirtiest. Hair all over the shower, stains all over the couch/ cot. Really didn’t inspire confidence that things were ok under the surface. Wore socks on floor and flip flops in shower. People in the area harassing you the moment you stepped outside the building.

Staff very nice, room and bed very comfortable, Clean , the roof top bar very good nive view over the city, convenient location

All good

The location is wonderful, about 12 min walk to the Termini Railway station. It is maybe one of the cheapest choice for a single room in the very center of Rome. The breakfast costs 8 euros and I think it is worth its value.
