Generator Hostel, Amsterdam

Nice place and nice stuff

Everything was nice.

The location is simply perfect, in a beautiful park surrounded by nature and very well connected with the city centre.

Very small dormitory and probably the room are a bit overpriced, the breakfast is not too delicious.

The location, rooms are good.

Staff was lovely and helpful, the living area diverse, fun and cozy.

I was in a shared dorm with other 5 girls and one of them vomited in the sink and didn't clean after herself. Definitely not the hostels fault, but it was pretty disgusting. Just a heads up to what you might run into when you stay with people you don't know.

Quick and easy check in. Good size room

It was good 👍

Noisy beds when moving

Location in a park

The room was not properly cleaned - the floor was dusty. All additional services are very much overpriced. Overall overpriced. Many young people there in the evening…

Great location inside a park, with a really good view. Very near to the tram and bus stop.

The room, which was for four people, was really small. Help yourself to putting on the bed sheets and pillowcases.

Breakfast

Room

Lounge room, cleanliness, cafe, helpful staff.

Common bathroom areas could be larger. More spacious communal bathrooms could be constructed.

There's no kitchen

The location is great

They charge you 7€ per towels, they don’t give you towels

The Location was great and the value for its money

We didn’t like that the towels are not included in price and the price of rental was high

Clean fresh beddings and amazing breakfast.

It is amazing place, amazing location, a lot different zones inside, very interesting design. But it is mostly like very good new kind of hostel

It is like low cost airlines, if they can change something extra they do. If you want to drink tea after 10pm you can be surprised, because you don’t have any kettle and bar already closed.

This is not only a hostel, it's a place where people unite. I liked the vibe and the environment. It has an outstanding cafeteria cum bar cum gathering place which offers delicious meals in an affordable price range.

The bunk beds are actually three storeys. I got the top one and felt like climbing a mountain. Also, it can be very risky if someone misses any steps and falls. And people having any leg issues should not go for that.

I like the location. It's close to the city center, has good public transportation access, and easily accessible restaurants and supermarkets. I appreciate the hotel's facilities and the numerous common areas that encourage social interaction. I particularly enjoy the park surrounding the hotel and the large glass windows that offer views of the park.

I feel a bit cramped in this room, and I don’t have a proper place to organize my belongings. Amenities such as toiletries were not provided, and bath mats were absent. The need to rent towels added to the overall cost, which was already quite high.

The rooms, particularly the four- and six-bedroom options, felt rather small. The six-bedroom room included a triple-bunk bed with inconvenient stairs, leading to frequent bumps and limited space for hanging clothes. Furthermore, basic amenities such as toiletries were not provided, and bath mats were absent. The need to rent towels added to the overall cost, which was already quite high, possibly due to the New Year's period. While the price was elevated, the level of service felt rather standard.

The location in the middle of the park was beautiful ! Despite the fact that it was a bit far from the central area

The food at the restaurant was the worst I've ever had. The breakfast was good though, and good value for money

All the common rooms were very nice, from the cafeteria/restaurant to the auditorium. It was clean, cozy and busy which gave me comfort as I travelled alone. Good prices for drinks and food and helpful staff.

I didn’t like the fact that we weren’t given towels and we had to pay for them. I paid for breakfast and a padlock for my locker (everything extra you buy) but towels or at least shampoo/shower gel they could have provided.

Overall good

The rates per bed could be more affordable for students and low income youngster like me.

Loved the atmosphere, what a brilliant concept - elevated hostel with quality decor, services, open plan spaces and lots of people of all ages, all nice and inviting. We were a family with two small kids of which one poorly baby, so really enjoyed the room with big windows to play in and the canteen with handy easy food to share and the auditorium to sit quietly for a cheeky break. Breakfast was excellent, coffee was best I ever had in a buffet!! Location was super, 15mins by tram to center, park and playground behind building, lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Clean and comfortable throughout and staff were very nice.

Wish breakfast option was included at booking stage so we wouldn't have to pay every morning. Had to pay for towels which is a bit inconvenient. And access cards were acting up sometimes not opening doors. But with everything the staff were super quick and helpful :)

Cool pod and space. Also the people staying there were friendly and respectful. I was anxious it would be a young party crowd for new years eve. It was a lovely group that respected quiet areas but still had a party.

Paying $8 extra for a towel to shower. There is not much that I did not like.

The hostel was clean with super comfortable beds and the table tennis and movie night was a hit with the kids. The transport was very good close by to all parts of the city which makes it a very convenient place to stay

We didn’t find a supermarket close by

Stay and Breakfast was good.

May be , at the least toliletries shoud be provided like body wash and towel

The common areas are really nice. Breakfast good price for all you can eat. Easy to go to the city center, the location was really good.

Not all the beds had curtains (the top ones didn’t had it). The toilet would get wet and there was no towel to out on the floor or something to clean.

The staff were kind Safety&security Nice food

Too dark - would have been very nice to have more light especially during the winter season

Good location. Very good breakfasts.

Location is fine, 15 mins from metro but quite close to tram. My room is twin room - good for 2 people and very quiet.

I expect hostels to have kitchen as the Uk but theres none here. Also only 2 small cups in the room.

All Good.

Location is better near by public transportation

It is clean

payment only with card

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and surroundings, including parklands, playgrounds, short walk to shops or tram, providing easy access to city centre and central station.

Needs more washing machines and dryers for the size of the hostel.

My staying there was meeting my expectations! i highly recommend it for accommodation on budget.

The room for 6 people weren’t so comfy to stand if you want to get ready etc

Very comfy bunk beds, easy check in, a pleasant walk to a busy area.

Not the most central area and the room wasn’t fully clean on arrival.

Staff were very welcoming upon arrival, the room was perfect really comfortable and good storage. It felt really safe and was quiet during the night

It was very slightly louder on the Friday night we stayed

Clean was everything, comfortable mattress and good breakfast

I didn't like that you need to pay for the towels extra and that in the room there was no space/table to put any stuff

Everything about the hostel

Nothing

Very nice staff, beautiful location in a park near tram station and other public transport, good price for Amsterdam.

I'm not used to hostels so... No room to put stuff, e.g. toilet bagss in the bathroom or clothes when going to take a shower. Also, you do not have a hair dryer in the bathroom and you need to buy every basic stuff like renting the towels, buying a locker for pods, no soap in the shower, etc.

Cleanliness, safety

Food

This was a very funky building! I believe it used to be a old academic building which was converted into a hostel. They have used the space very well and made it very "cool". All the wall art was very impressive. The location (within a park) could not be beat

7 euros per towel is insane!

Breakfast so good and location very easy with Tram 14. Staff quite professionals.

The only negative thing was about the water in the bathrooms was draining extremely slowly. They should repair the clogged bathroom sinks.

Entrance

No kettle and cups lack of signs

The beautifully renovated university building was close to bus and tram stops, which made reaching the city center simple.”

need to pay for towels

It was clean, well organized and location quite good.

Room was narrow 6 person.

Location

6 beds ara too many for one room, the rooms should have 4 beds.

Nice atmosphere and people. Won’t take too long into the city center and for this price would go again

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is excellent value for just 8 euros. The self-service coffee machines were a delightful touch, offering unlimited coffee. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and the shared lounge areas are uniquely designed and inviting.

The absence of hairdryers in the bathrooms can be quite inconvenient. There’s no shared kitchen or even a small area with a kettle, which is a bit disappointing. Additionally, the capsule had quite a bit of dust inside.

The hotel was lovely. Absolutely met our expectations. It was clean, comfy, fun and gorgeous. I would definitely stay there again. It was a bit far but there were bars/restaurant etc. near to the hotel.

Altough it was in a nice park, it is a little far from the center. We shared a 6 people room and the windows were fixed so we could not open any(fortunately there was an AC).
