Generator Hostel, Rome

Fantastic location. Very well connected to public transportation. Rooms are clean and spacious.

AC temperature could not be controlled despite there being the buttons to control it. Hence the room was extremely cold at night

Spacious room, 2 bathrooms in the 6-bed room, 24/7 reception, convenient location

The location is in a sketchy neighborhood. Be careful walking there at night.

The place is nice and the environment is good. I especially want to thank the smart and kind Filipina lady (Ms. Philippine) for her patience and help.

However, I would like to raise a concern: there was a 4-hour delay after I made my online booking. I had to stay outside waiting for someone to check out before I could enter. That was quite inconvenient. Overall, I appreciate the service, especially the professionalism and patience of Ms. Philippine.

Location was great, a nice walk to the Colosseum although the walk back is uphill! Great facilities and comfortable rooms

Couldn't fault the staff, facilities and cleanliness - they were all fantastic. It's just the location that is less than perfect.

While its proximity to Termini is a plus, the actual location is a bit dodgy, with hassle from men on the street meaning women can feel unsafe / uncomfortable.

Reccimend but staff was bad

It would be good if they added curtains to the beds.

Enough place Rooftop Location Bed’s are comfortable

Closing time rooftop/ smoking area Washing machine problem - just 2 No real kitchen Many employees .. so - clarity is missing Price of the lockers No fresh air in the rooms

It was close to Roma termini station and convenient to catch the Leonardo train in the morning for a flight. Lockers felt secure. Security at the entrance in the evening. Everyone at the front desk was very nice.

Far from clean. I understand this is a hostel , but of all hostels I’ve stayed at in private rooms , this room was the dirtiest. Hair all over the shower, stains all over the couch/ cot. Really didn’t inspire confidence that things were ok under the surface. Wore socks on floor and flip flops in shower. People in the area harassing you the moment you stepped outside the building.

Staff very nice, room and bed very comfortable, Clean , the roof top bar very good nive view over the city, convenient location

All good

The location is wonderful, about 12 min walk to the Termini Railway station. It is maybe one of the cheapest choice for a single room in the very center of Rome. The breakfast costs 8 euros and I think it is worth its value.

Clean rooms, good location, right near Roma Termini, cheap enough for its value.

The staff seem to be annoyed that they need to do this job, questions are not welcomed.

Generator Rome is quite the boutique hostel. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was modern, stylish, and welcoming — exactly what you'd want from a boutique hostel in the heart of the Eternal City. The location is super convenient — just a short walk from Termini Station, making it easy to explore Rome or catch early trains. Despite being close to a busy transport hub, the hostel felt safe and surprisingly quiet at night. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-designed with everything you need. I stayed in a shared dorm and really appreciated the privacy curtains, personal lights, and outlets. The en-suite bathroom was also a big plus — modern and cleaned daily.

Pricey for a hostel, not much of a social atmosphere, neighborhood isn’t the most charming, no communal kitchen.

Staff and location

There is no towel

The room was clean and comfortable, good air conditioning for a a Roman summer

Only one light worked in the room Staff could be friendlier on the front desk Shower pressure was poor

Great place

Nice hostel, friendly staff and value for money

Location not so good

Good Location

Nothing

My room was really spacious, the lady who’s worked the PM shift with blond hair was super informative! I enjoyed my stay. 20 mins walk tor he Colosseum.

Is for young people

The location at night is not the best

Brilliant location. Excellent for interrailing - clean and good value. lovely staff!

Everything was great. I want to highlight Lorenzo's kindness and his work at the reception desk. Always helpful and friendly!

No hay cocina

One of my favourite hostels i have stayed in. Very large, spacious room. Lots of space for 4 girls plus full length mirror and desk in the room. Good AC. LOVE that we had 2 bathrooms so you don't have to wait for someone to be finished in the shower if you need the toilet. Extra pillow provided when asked for one. Personal lights in beds plus USB socket and European socket. Lovely, friendly staff. Late checkout and early check-in for just 3 euros if you need it. Really good location, 2 minute walk from metro station but also walkable to major tourist sites. Also 5 minute walk from Termini.

No kitchen area to cook meals in (but a fridge, kettle, and microwave provided in small communal area). Very pricey. A little bit noisy sometimes because of the location (but you end up tuning this out).

Decent, clean, and large room with air conditioning and a split bathroom.

Kind of cheap not to include the towels in the price of the accommodation (which is not too low to begin with) The staff can be rude

Hostel is really well located. Rooms are big and clean.

my nest was broken

nice beds, they offered privacy and they had the sockets handy, space in the room and not overcrowded, nice locks for you under your bed.

broken pieces in the bathroom, bad locks on both bathrooms in the room, the breakfast was very small and not accessible to gluten free people.

It is located within 5 min walk form train stations, the rooms are lovely, clean & have spacious bathroom.

It location is extremely dodgy, Despite being in close proximity with train station, the roads are deserted at night & questionable people roam in the area. The interior of the hostel is good & good for commute but certainly as a solo traveller I would avoid to stay in an area like this

Great location. Comfortable bed, spacious room and bathroom.

Lack of shared kitchen.

I stayed in 6 ppl room for 1 night , the room is really wide and clean ,toilet is big not small

1- The street location is not nice, out side the street you feel uncomfortable and feel its not safe specially at night 2- there is no curtains in the bed

Clean and comfortable bed. Easy access, very close to the Terminal station.

Overall the stay was quite nice.

Staff and location

The lighting system. Lights turned on randomly

i would like put hairdryer at rooms and think about about free breakfast. everything was perfect

Close to the station Termini, well decorated and good facilities.

They didn’t make my bed, apparently you have to make your own bed, and if you want to leave your luggage after checkout, you have to pay to use the lockers.

The vibe

They ask you money for everything

Nice rooftop bar and pleasant personnel. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the room for 8 was quite spacious and equipped with two bathrooms. I would highly recommend this for anyone travelling on a budget.

The surrounding area is a bit untidy, perhaps due to closeness to the rail station and city centre, but nothing unbearable.

Location, walked to most places , about 90 of the staff was very kind and supportive.

However the Spanish man working as bartender in the rooftop bar was super aggressive and impolite. He lacks even the minimum education that is necessary in the hospitality industry.

Size of the room and being able to work from there the next day with power and internet

the cleanliness of the shower and lack of bath mats in such a big dorm

Great location, staff were friendly and it was a really nice atmosphere.

Location is great, near train station and easy to get to key attractions. A great park nearby with lovely cafe to sit and watch world go by. The rooftop is lovely area to hang out in. I was just there 2 nights so it did what I needed. Nice friendly staff, good size rooms.

The bathroom doors didn't lock easily (or unlock once locked) so that needs to be fixed. And bathroom had few ants. They have paid lockers for luggage which was annoying as needed to leave bags for few hours. The lockers under tge bed didnt fit my case - ok to leave it out but might be annoying if there longer time. But mostly all good.

Good Location, comfortable beds, nice terrace

Beer a bit overpriced

It was a great hostel, clean, tidy and the staff were professional.

If you’re to store your luggage beyond your stay, it’s very expensive.

Very close to the main train station. Room was a good size (female only 4 bed dorm). I stayed at the end of June and it was only me and another girl in the room that night, so nice and quiet. I had a comfortable sleep as there was no one above me. Shower and toilet were in separate rooms which I liked. Shower pressure good. Felt safe in the room. Staff were friendly and had a good vibe downstairs.

The area around the station is sketchy. As a lone female traveller I didn’t feel safe walking to the hostel, even during the day. Advice I would give to anyone in a similar situation is to keep your head up, look confident, don’t make eye contact with people and walk with confidence. Also, keep your bag secure (cross body bag I found to be the best) and don’t have your phone out if you can.

Super clean and heaps of space in the dorm I stayed it.

Not much going on socially or the rooftop bar when I was there

The rooftop

A little far from sites

It was good. The room was very warm

No air conditioning in the room. Everything else was great. The staff...EXCELLENT

It’s near to termini station

The neighborhood is not good

Right behind Metro, had enough convenient stores near by. Bit pricey but was worth it. Clean and shower was training well. Nice small park behind hostel, highly rated restaurant and Gelato store within 10 minutes walking or even less. Stayed in Female on room and felt safe. Sometimes the main door and room door wouldn’t unlock but there was always someone around to let you in…. Can walk anywhere from here, it’s only 35-40 minutes from Colosseum. They have a bar downstairs and a rooftop terrace bar with great views.

If you have a corner bottom bunk it does get very hot quickly especially over night or when the weather is warmer. The air conditioning didn’t work in our room so we had to leave the windows open all the time which was annoying because of noise at night. Need to ask for fresh linen as they won’t change if you’re staying for 5 nights…

Location is close to the train station and colosseum which was perfect. Rooms were nice and comfortable.

Quite noisy area and a longer walk to get to more central restaurants etc so you definitely get your steps in.

The staff was really nice

The location! Felt little bit insecure as I was travelling by myself.

although clean but improvement needed
