“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great location and value for money.

The location is perfect, very central. We were upgraded to larger room on the top floor with a nice view. The room was very quiet, which seemed unexpected seeing so many people in the common areas. There is also an option to leave the luggage for a small fee.

The room wasn't very clean, with some dust in the corners.

Everything was great! There’s an amazing bar downstairs one of the best rated bars in the city so you don’t even need to go out searching for nightlife. The location is super convenient, and overall, I really enjoyed my stay.

Unfortunately, I had very noisy neighbors during my visit, which left a slightly unpleasant impression. They were drinking, talking loudly, and making noise late at night, so it was hard to rest properly. Apart from that, everything else was really good, and I would still recommend this place! 🍸✨

Very youth/party/weekend fun atmosphere. Not for those over 35.

The location was perfect.

I found the room quite basic, for the price, really. This was a youth hostel level place, yet nearly 200€/night. Everything was also quite worn out.
