Extra costs for towels and sanitary items.

Was good hostel

Soms od the ypung feonr of hpuze pof igmorant lay amx unhelpful one spanish or braxlian man ignorant No personality rude laz

Great location and did the job for the price

Room could’ve been cleaner and was quite cold

The atmosphere was brilliant, staff were lovely. Prices were decent! Room was brilliant size.

Bed wasn't comfortable, only one pillow each, wasnt super comfortable either. Thin walls. But it was a lovely room besides that.

Very clean, very energetic, nice dorms, pretty much perfect

Found some tissues under the mattress that looked a bit suspicious and didn’t want to touch

Very centric, clean and nice well-organized check-in. Staff was also nice!

Someone had already taken my bed so I had to switch and take his upper bunk bed. Not Generator´s fault though. Someone spilled orange juice all over the floor but that was cleaned up perfectly the next morning.

The location and the staff very helpful

No kitchen

Loved the common spaces!

The bathrooms and shower could use some shelves to put my things on. More hooks on the wall or on the bed to hang coats/towels/bags

Great location, nice vibe, comfy beds

Ensuite bathroom had a mouldy smell, looked clean though, be aware theres no shampoo or conditioner, towels are extra charge. Bed doesnt have a privacy curtain, and you have to pit on your own bed sheet!

Clean, neat, good location close to the train, close to supermarket, close to restaurants

Some guys are really have bad attitude and teenagers playing around all night

Common area was nice. Nice bar and enough facilities (all $$ of course). Location is good, especially for the price. Most of the employees were very nice

When we came, the showers of atleast two cabins had broken handles which resultes in only boiling or cold water. Water didn’t wash away. We also had to go the second floor to be able to use it while we were on sleeping on the first floor. The room was really small compared to the pictures with a pole in the middle, also the sink was loose and pretty small. + really hot, even in november. The only window was connected to the beer garden. But you’re in a hostel, so can’t complain about the noice ;)

The convenience to central hub of Dublin and easily accessible luas (tram nearby) and the security outside of the hostel made you feel extra safe.

Not enough towels provided, and parts of the room were still dirty when I arrived.

Great location!

The bathroom in our room was not very clean, the shower drains kept backing up. However the rest of the room was great.

Close to city centre, good parties.

Our room smelled bad and also the coridors smelled like cat urin. We didn’t expect food and drinks to be forbidden in the room and in hanging area. Most of the toilet seats in mens facilities were broken.

Excellent location, walking distance to the centre ... and near to lots of eating places and a great pub - The Cobblestone - Genuine Irish pub, no frills, not touristy, overpriced or pretentious, just great Guinness, great atmosphere and great music ...

For Dublin, Generator was reasonably priced... rooms were standard hostel type but could do with a bit of TLC eg curtains that cover the window

Staff were amazing room very clean

I booked a single room and got a dormitory

Access to lots of fun activities. Great location to the Jameson factory

Our room wasn’t ready on check in

Location , bar and food was good and reasonable . Stayed two nights with my brother , we had no issues to report.

Bedroom didn’t look much like the website, room and beds were small. Bathroom and shower were also small.

The area was wonderful, great restaurants, close by the Jameson distillery, wonderful little pub at the end of the square (the Cobblestone) had live music and a great atmosphere, tho don’t do meals there, there was also a terrific supermarket over the road that served all meals during the day and you could purchase by the bowl (terrific idea). Buses, etc were at the end of the street, would stay in the area again.

There was a party of 7 adults and one child staying at the hotel and I had seen photos of a room that had seats and a little bit of space, and probably should have been more proactive in my requests, however our room only had beds, with nowhere to sit and luggage was all over the floor. I realise it is a hostel and the room would be small but this room did not suit our needs at all and I wouldn’t stay again in a large group like that. If you were a couple or twin room, I am sure accommodation would be more suited.

Did not have breakfast

A lower price would be good for what it was. Like as youth hostel.

Location, public areas and lockers

Thin walls, thin doors, old bad shower, bathroom full of rust

Atmosphere. Price. Ease of check in and out. Helpful staff

Been here a few times over the years and things starting to look a bit worn out. The bathroom in our room was pretty naff.

Nice hostel, great location

Nothing

Bar, lobby, position

Time to refurbish the rooms, especially the bathroom.

Good location. Bar downstairs is good if you are there for a party. Not really a hostel for a quiet evening.

Good facilities at the property

N/a

Nice room and location

No tea or coffee making facilities in room, we bought drinks but they were luke warm. Other occupants noisey

Very cool hostel, self check in was excellent. Location great, easy to access on the Luas from the centre

Room was ok, very dark and basic. Beds weren't made and there was no towels, you have to pay extra. It was fine for one night and the price

Location was great.

There was no shelves in bathroom to put our things. We got a private room for just our group. It was a hassle to get ready with nowhere to place your bathroom essentials like toothbrush, hair gel, etc. Also one of the lockers couldn’t even be opened due to being too close to the bathroom door. The bathroom has a lot of space to put some shelving, also no electric plugs in the bathroom.

The location was great walking distance to many of the local attractions. It made it very convenient for getting around the city.

Nice spacious room

No ladies bathroom on the second floor

We were right next to the Jameson Distellery. Lots of restaurants near by, and a cool pub down the street called Cobblestone were they play live music. The place does have locker storage for luggage so that was a plus.

I didn't like the room, needs a big time update. The place is full of young people. Looks like a party hotel for the young. Very loud music n very busy.

Great location, great price.

The frat party environment.

Very social atmosphere, great staff.

Room wasn’t super clean and bathroom was definitely unclean.

Location

Blood on our bed

As always, great staff!! Great location,central to everything for me. Best value in the city for staying

I'll keep this personal. If Generator wish to contact me they can do so but I'm not publicly outing them here

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,hygiene and friendly staff.
