Generator Hostel, Dublin

The staff was really friendly.

Nothing

Situated in quiet environment. Public Transport, Airport Express, Luas, and Bus, only a few minutes by foot.

The hotel was clean. Super easy check in and out system. Bed was comfy. Bar facilities are excellent. Overall hotel was great.

The hotel is out of the town centre action (about 20 mins from the shopping area and 15 mins from Temple Bar) which wouldn't usually bother me but as you have to walk past a homeless and drug rehabilitation centre to get to Temple Bar area, with a lot of shady people walking around, it just didn't feel safe for 2 female travellers, especially at night where we saw a lot of drug users, men shouting, etc. The tram was nearby to take you the town centre during the day (super convenient) but we ended up using Ubers to get back to the hotel at night, as it did not feel safe at all for us to walk back. I understand that this is not the hotel's fault, but it definitely is something for solo and especially female guests to be aware of.

position is good and really well socially organized

bunk beds at three levels are just too much! the lover places are just too close to each other and you can’t even sit on your bed because you hit your head.

Good location, close to everything, nice bar, nice personel

Luggage room to pay for, one of the two toilets was broken - in a room for 15, hairdryer in bedroom instead of bathroom

A lot of act

Nice staff, beds were comfier than I thought, nice party hostel

not too far from city center, restaurants close

hot inside, anonymous youth hostel style

The lounge area was unreal. Pool tables, beer pong, TVs, music and a great buzz

There was no air conditioning in the room with 3 bunk beds and it was very warm.

Good location,nice bed,bit hot for the summer,good value for the money though.

Location

The loud boom music in the lobby. Because my ear.

In the hotel there are a lot of facilities. Bar, bilhar.. etc Big tv in the room

Need to pay the towels. Doesn’t make any sense because you already paid the room. The Wi-Fi didn’t work in my room (401)even though in the booking they mentioned speed internet. The bed was a little bit dirty under the cover.

Ok budget stay. Location, easy to walk anywhere in town.

Too loud music...

For the price I paid, it was pretty decent. It’s easy to check and check out. There’s a nearby Dublin Express station which makes it convenient. Plus, it’s just behind Jameson Distillery!

Rooms can get warm even at night. Additional ventilation would be great to have. The doors also slam quite loud. If you try to close it softly, it won’t close.

Well located in the city centre.

Having our own room with a bathroom/shower was nice. Can’t complain about having a bed and a roof over our heads.

The no food/drink rules were wacky since the food offered was rediculously expensive. Would have made more sense to just offer a shared kitchen or a cheap breakfast.

The staff both in reception and cleaning..

People coming in the middle of the night and banging doors when they arrived..

Very strategic position in the city, quiet at night and with many food options in the area. Super comfy beds and good storage space in the rooms.

The karaoke was too loud, it was fun for a bit but then some guests started leaving the common area for the noise. Also the usb chargers in the rooms didn't work forcing you to buy an adaptor at the reception.

Would I go again? Well, no.

Good location. And great facilities.

Friendly welcome, lovely bar , great location in walking distance to O'connell st and temple bar.

Rooms were a tad dark could do with more lighting, also the heat in the room was uncomfortable but it was also a heatwave outside so probably not an issue usually.

downstair area and location

speed of staff when taking food order heat In bedrooms

Unbeatable price, good location, reception opened 24/7.

I would have likes to have towels included... and not to be paid on top. It was maybe explained but... feel surprising anyway.

Excellent location, just far enough out of the city but not too far to walk into. The surrounding area has a nice vibe and good shops and eating places. The facilities of the venue were excellent

Every time a door closed in the corridor it caused our door to rattle within the lock which disturbed our sleep.

Up beat

Rooms need air conditioning, like a sauna

Friendly helpful staff. Convenient location. Clean rooms and bathroom. Fan in room.

The noise level in the main room, bar and cafe. I asked where the reading room/library was, and there is none. I suggest you remedy that absence.

Location was great. Cool vibe,

No a/c in our room - bathroom could do with updating - shelf was rusty and peeling

Rooms were so

The room is quite spacious. The bar area and karaoke is nice.

The light and power sockets near my bed did not work at all. Mould in the shower.

The room is nice ! The staff was nice and the location really great ! Almost everything is accessible by walking.

It was very hot in the bedroom and hard to cool down, so the night was not that comfy. Some ppl are loud during the night.

good atmosphere and family friendly

Metal beds were noisy. Plastic mattress covers sweaty. No towels in room on arrival.

Good vibrant Hostel, lot of Games.

Showers Clogged

Lovely social area and great overall.

Rooms were a little basic.

No

Everything is ok

Location was perfect. Instructions and communication with staff before and while stay was clear, understandable and fully informative. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms and toilets were clean at all time. (Even late at night, middle of the day, early in the morning) Soap and toilet paper were never missing.

The biggest downside was the size of window. We had room with just one small window so heat was present in our room almost at all time. We had room for 8 people with 80x80 window. Even thought we had a fan. We had to keep doors open at all time. Also the rooms had some stains here and there but nothing that would ruin the experience.

Renting a room with 6 people was ideal.

We really disliked the bar. The service was slow, both pints and coffee. The karaoke in the middle of the bar was unbearable, both in volume and quality. The bar already tries to close at 11.30, asking you to leave for upstair and no longer giving drinks. This is in our opinion too early

Convenient, 24 hr check I f

There is nothing to dislike

Location

Washroom

Great access to facilities. Quite a good location. Helpful staff.

Most things require additional charges, e.g with no towels (not even a hand towel), luggage storage etc.

The location was good as it was in walking distance of the city centre. The beds were comfortable.

Having to pay for the use of a towel.

A hygienic chicken coop with fancy wordplay.

It was hot in the room as compared to the outside temperature and the opening of the window could not be properly adjusted. The bathrooms and toilets were practical enough but quite far from the dormitories.

Vibe in the bar area is quite cool. Beds are ok and linen clean.

Ventilator in the bath was broken and therefore mould on the ceiling. Wasn’t fixed eventhough we told receptionists several time. The whole place downstairs (bar, toilets, eating area,…) needs a thorough in depth cleaning – all a bit filthy.

Location was fine

Expensive

Great location, good price, large room, nice balcony, bar & games available

Uncomfortable beds and pillows, not enough water dispensers, can be noisy, no aircon/poor ventilation

Good location and beds were comfortable

Could hear lots of noise from the lobby

The facilities and easy going.

At a hot day.. it's hot (!) .. not the hostels fault: guy in room late drugged 100x to bathroom and diarrhea.. bad sleep

Great and l lively in a good location

A bit grubby, one light bulb not working, Some of the charger sockets not working either. Found a used condom wrapper under the bed!

Communal areas and facilities were good alongside the size of the dorms. The staff were also friendly/helpful.

Bathrooms could use some care - nothing dirty however faulty handles on showers and broken soap dispensers. The rooms (and main body of the hostel) were also incredibly warm.

Good location

Bit of a party hostel, pictures overplay it, bed and dorm uncomfortable and steps to top bunk unsafe and 4 quid for a towel is unfair for renting and bathroom smells

The fact that I had a place to sleep

The building, it's like a maze
