Expert reviews

“The conveniently situated Generator blurs the lines between hostel and hotel, with design-led interiors, buzzy communal areas and a combination of private rooms and en-suite dorms. All of the main city centre attractions are within a 10-minute walk and evenings play host to live music and social events.”

Easy check-in, friendly staff, decent rooms.

Was quite loud and not much room in the bar area to sit and eat - and no guidance on how to order.

Nice place to stay for a city break, clean & close to the center.

Great location, a bit small but comfy room. Nice that you can choose a room with private bathroom also. Quick check-in&out👍🏻

TV could be ‘smart’ with some apps like Netflix, but it’s just a suggestion. For me breakfast was disappointing. I expected a bit more possibilities than a bread with ham or cheese and some yoghurt.

The location and comfort of the mattresses

Some people didn't maintain proper hygiene in the room, and the smell made it unpleasant to sleep there. But I'm not sure to what extent that's the hostel's fault...

The place is very central which is perfect for a solo traveler. The bed area has everything that you need - some shelves, a little light, and sockets.

I lived in a 6-bed room with 5 friends that I didn’t know, so it was very loud and messy throughout my stay, but I guess it’s not the hostel’s fault.

Good value for money for shared family space

Location was great. Bedding was comfortable and warm and clean. Had ensuite in shared room (used for our family) worked well. Communal area was good.

Self-check-in. No kitchen to use - I didn't notice that when booking. Less lounge areas compared to other hostel used.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
