Amazing place, near the center. Restaurant in the first floor servers coffee with a 15% discount for people staying.
Beds and pillows in a private 2 bed room were really shallow.

Comfortable and well located with great value for money, despite some signs of wear.
The hostel is well located, and the family room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bed was cozy, and it was pleasantly quiet—we didn’t hear any neighbors. Overall, it offers excellent value for money.
Whole hostel is a bit worn out.

Great hostel with individual rooms.
For a hostel this is great bang for your buck!
The toilet could be a bit more upscale.

A pleasant stay with a little room for improvement.
The staff were friendly. The room and the bed were clean. The check-in and check-out process were smooth.
The washroom kept clogging to an extent that it was unusable.

Lively spot in the heart of Copenhagen
Fantastic location only 5 mins from Nyhaven! The staff were nice and it's a great place to meet other travellers!
The bed was not very comfortable but with the low price and good location, this wasn't the end of the world

Comfortable stay
Friendly girl behind the reception. The room was comfortable and clean! I booked a private room.
Noise outside on the street, but it’s central so that’s also to be expected.

My second Generator property I have stayed in. Excellent value for money and once again great location.
I booked 6 bed shared dorm and was pleasantly surprised to see if had its own toilet and shower area. Cleanliness of this was maintained throughout.

Cool place, nice young vibes
Central, simple, young. Good value for money
With the risk of sounding old, the bar was extremely loud on the weekend, till very late, which was heard well in the rooms (2nd floor). They surprisingly charge for playing their many shuffleboard tables.

A cozy room in Copenhagen
The locker under the bed is safe to store all your personal items. The bed is comfortable with a mini lamp on top of the headboard and the area of the room is spacious.
The staff are not to so accommodating. They just registered you once you check in without sharing details about your stay or any suggestions to spot around the area for you to be excited about your plans. And also the way to the room is like a maze you need to walk around and follow the long way to go to locate it.

The restaurant and faculty 10/10!
A mini fridge would have been fantastic, at least in family rooms.

Excellent location! Amazing value for money for a shared dormitory in central Copenhagen. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Decent size storage under the bed. The room was also very warm. Although the bar was very noisy we could not hear any noise from our room on the 5th floor. There was two showers and a toilet in our 8 bed room. We appreciated the 15% off food and drink during our stay and the easy and reasonably priced bike rental to explore the city.
Overall, there is some wear and tear throughout the building. There is no communical kitchen but you know this when booking. The main thing to note is that the bar area is the only real area to relax. Although it is quite large, it was extremely busy with what seemed like mostly locals on both Friday and Saturday night meaning there was nowhere for us to sit and relax in the late afternoon/evening.

Okay
Location- walking distance to metro station and most tourists attractions
It could be noisy during the night. We can hear noises from the streets. Only 2 small pillows available in the room and duvets were super old and yellowish.
11 December 2025
We grew to be more patient with our little room. Not very comfortable but in the end it did the job.
Close to everything!
Rabbits Warren to get to room. No room beside the bed making it difficult to get in and out for us older people. Flat pillow and hard bed. No cups provided for water.

This was such a good location! Also the price I paid was fabulous for a stay in Copenhagen
The pillows were quite bad Was a little noisy in the evening with doors banging etc but to be expected for the price still slept okay For the price you pay you can’t complain too much

Central location, but uncomfortable bed. Expensive for a hostel type.
The staff were friendly, and the hotel was in a good location to get to everything in central Copenhagen easily.
The bed was uncomfortable and creaked with every slight move. There was noise through the night from the bars as well as people in the corridors. The price is outrageous for what you get (but this seemed to be the case everywhere in Copenhagen).

The staff were lovely and the room warm and clean with good beds and a decent shower. The location was also good.
The noise. There is a bar at the bottom of the properly, I think there might be two actually, but everyone came out into the street to smoke and drink so there was still a lot of noise at 2am.

Really good location and good value for money in Copenhagen.
The bar is very lively and a great place to go to before heading out. The room was small but it did the job. It was so warm during the night - a bit too warm - but we never changed the temp so that is our fault also. Good to return to after the cold days!
The rooms were a bit cramped for two people and the bathroom is like a wet room so everything gets wet once you have a shower.

Generator Copenhagen is a fun place to stay at, with a vibrant community and a lot of available activations.
This property is a fun accomodation creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Nothing to add here, you know what you are getting into when you book this kind of accomodation.

Good but it could have been better if the room would have been clean.
It was a great location everything was near by a short walk.
The bedsheets weren’t very clean, the room was full of dust. There was no hairdryer or mini shampoos.

The floor was very cold in both the room and the bathroom. The sink is so small that it is not possible to fill in the bottle. Sound isolation is bad.

Chill area could be better, more comfortable seating and work space. The two women who worked reception were very helpful keeping my luggage. However a guest accessible luggage room would be great. Other than paid locker option
16 November 2025
Okay, given Copenhagen’s price standards.
Bathroom wasn’t very nice. Water in the bathroom was spilling out of the shower, and there was no floor towel, so it wasn’t very comfortable to step out of the shower and walk across the floor around the toilet. Very poor ventilation; during our stay on cooler days the humidity was uncomfortable.
