“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.

Quick short break

Fantastic location, easy check in / out. Friendly, welcoming and very helpful staff. Beds was comfy, Room had a big TV which was a great little background noise. Having a bar downstairs that offers simple basic breakfast buffet was very handy, also good value for money.

Very good

The lounge area, where you cold leave your room, and read a book and that it was separated from the bar area

It would have been nice to be able to open the windows in the room, I get the idea of security, but at least opening it halfway if not fully would have done the job, in a room of six people it gets really stuffy and it feels like you're only breathing in each others air

Liked the energy in the game room / restaurant.

No common areas other than where additional purchases are expected. Guy sat on stool facing bed on phone for hours. No cooking facilities. Loud music audible in 4th floor bedrooms. Random people sleeping in hallway. Stinky dorm rooms to be expected.

Really great stay! The location is super central, making it easy to explore the city. The room exceeded expectations — very comfortable and better than you’d typically expect from a hostel. Would definitely stay again.

Rooms towards the street tend to be very noisy.

The staff fortunately gave us a quieter room for the 2nd night.

Our original room was on the 6th floor, windows to the street. It was very noisy the whole night (Friday night). The staff's comment "well we are in the city center" was a bit off (but in the end they did give us another room). I have stayed in other places in city center's that have been much quieter.

Highly recommend for a nice city break in Copenhagen

Amazing location, price is great also for such an expensive city. Perfect place to stay for a short city break. The staff were brilliant and gave me free drink tokens as they had noticed it was my birthday during the stay. Bar area is really cool, happy hour was brilliant and the shuffleboard was really fun.

Not a massive fan of the wet rooms however, for the price and location it didn’t bother me in the slightest

Location is really good

The room wasn’t clean. When we first came, the floor was sticky, and I saw fingernails on it. They didn’t even vacuum it. And don't forget to bring extra towels they just give two for two people. There wasn't any hand or foot towel.

Highly recommended hostel in copenhaguen city center

Excellent location, right in copenhaguen city center. The rooms were excellently clean and modern. Shower was great and bathroom clean. It had a private bathroom in the room, with separate shower and toilet rooms. Beds were really comfortable. People, staff and customers, were also highly friendly and created a cool environment. Easy check in and check out process and availability to leave backpacks and suitcases in lockers for a reasonable price (80dkk for a large locker, 24h). The common areas were also surprisingly big and funny, and full of fun young people. There was a big grocery store right in front of the hostel if needed.

Just minor details that doesn’t give this property a 10/10. No towels provided (additional charge), sink was outside the bathroom, so it was pretty uncomfortable to do basic hygiene stuff such as shaving or brushing your teeth in front of everyone in the room. There were no curtains in the bed so that made privacy a bit more difficult. The lift was extremely slow and sometimes you just decided to go walking the stairs instead. There is no kitchen nor microwave, which in a city like copenhaguen could help you out lowering your trip costs.

A cozy, central, and well-managed stay with excellent staff who truly care about guest satisfaction.

Τhe location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk from the metro with easy access to the airport. I loved the cozy, warm atmosphere of the room and the great social vibes in the common areas and game room. The staff was incredibly polite, professional, and helpful throughout my stay.

Initially, the double bed consisted of two single mattresses that kept sliding apart, which was uncomfortable. However, the team fixed this immediately by upgrading me to a room with a proper unified mattress. Also, keep in mind that luggage storage at reception comes with an hourly fee.

Great one night stay - everything you need was there

The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Copenhagen, near to everything you'd need. The staff were very friendly, the room was cosy and beds comfy. nothing to complain about - sure the bar/games area would be fun as well in the evening (though I wasn't there for long enough to comment).

For the value per night, the place was very nice.

They had a very nice bar facilities with many events to attend to meet new people. The location was very good, straight in the city center 5min walk to the closest metro. We did not take a breakfast, but the prices were very nice.

In our room, one of the walls was not so clean- marked with pencils or whatever what is, maybe they could invest a little to paint it/ clean it to make it look better. Kettle in the room with some tea would also be nice, or some small kitchen on each floor.

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.

Worthy for the location

Amazing location. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. Really good value for the money.

The checkout at 10 am is quite early and sooner than any accommodation I’ve had in CPH. The pillows are the thickness of a towel so they were quite uncomfortable.

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.

Excellent location close to everything in CPH, nice staff, easy and smooth check in/out process, room was very clean and quiet (located on the 6th floor), bed was comfortable, not the first but for sure not the last time here

small room, if you travel with more luggage, bear in mind it will be impossible to open the suitcase (we were doing it in the bathroom). couple of times was cold in the room since the whole central heating system through radiators was shut down and then it would start at some moment

Good place to stay

Good location, cleanliness, comfortable beds, lounge room by the reception. Should be a good place to stay.

Cold air entered the room through gaps in the window edges and a missing handle. Result very cold room, and since the bed was positioned close to the heater, keeping it on constantly caused headaches. The bathroom sink was clogged and lacked a drain cover

Huge and pretty modern hostel in the center of Copenhagen. I’m a solo traveler but other guests were friendly so I had a great time! The city is beautiful. The only thing is it was way too hot in the dorm room, don’t know how it was in other rooms though. I greatly recommend this hostel.
