Generator Hostel, Rome

Location is close to Termini. Room is spacious.

The room is very dusty.

Large and spacious rooms. Also it was great that each shared dorm has its own bathroom inside the room - very convenient.

No complaints.

Friendly staff, clean, comfortable room

Felt expensive location quite a walk from historic centre but great travel links Towel hire also felt a little high

The location is very accessible.

For me as a single guest not really fit to stay in a shared room together with other different Guests. One of my roommates, every night always with hard coughing repeatedly and it's annoying. Needs options or selections for Breakfast amounted to 8 Euro.

That is so close to the Termini station and also there's another metro app right in front. I was able to walk to the main attractions by foot.

Not their fault, but I chose to stay over new years eve and opted for a mixed dorm, two guys arrived back after partying at 7am and one of them came to wake me up twice trying to speak to me while sitting on my bunk!! The other thing is also not their fault, but they had very messy guests.. When i first arrived, the bathrooms were very dirty, full of hair on the floor etc. but later housekeeping came to clean up and then it was ok. Lastly, especially for the mixed dorms i highly recommend bathroom doors that lock! Please.

Not to far in the termini

Nice and cool

When I had gotten to bed there was someone’s used underwear in one of the see through mesh holders that hold your stuff. It was pretty disgusting

Good network hostel. Close to termini

Do not order breakfast there

Very spacious room and bathroom, clean, helpful staff, very close to central train station

* The hostel's location is very good: 5-10 minutes from Roma Termini (choose correct exit), 3 minutes from the metro, 20 minutes from Colosseum. * Liquid hand soap and clean laundry are provided, everything else (including the lock for the locker) you have to bring yourself. * Rooms, toilets and corridors are kept clean. * Some rooms feature two toilets (in addition to the one available on the floor outside the room). * The rooms are very spacious, with ~2m between adjacent beds. * Beds have personal lights, electric and USB sockets. * The bar is pricy but ok (for food consider some other place). * The staff in the lobby and in the bar is available [very] late into the evening.

* Providing at least a small towel would be nice. * In one of the toilet rooms the sink was too short distance away from the wall - you can barely wash your face or brush your teeth above it. * The sound of the magnetic door lock in the room might be too loud for some people.

The hostel is nice, modern and with a good vibe. And the attention of the staff was really kind.

I payed extra for a room “women only”, and there was a guy sleeping in the room. However, I spoke with the receptionist and he kindly solve the problem quicky, but the first night, the guy slept there. Furthermore, the location is not nice. For a girl walking at night, I was really afraid. For this reason I won’t come back again :(

I stayed in the 6 bed mixed dorm. Very clean, spacious rooms, nice communal area with plenty of seating, games etc, and a bar. Breakfast available if you book the day before at an additional cost, dinner available also at an additional cost. Great location, can either grab a bus or metro into city centre or it’s only a 20-30 minute walk. Nice quiet area, right next to the train station which is perfect given that the airport shuttle bus drops you off at the train station. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beds were comfy but could have done with an extra pillow (not sure if this is something I could have had if I’d have asked), and maybe more privacy around the beds such as curtains.

It's very convenient, close to Termini and comfortable.

The door buzzes quite loudly when we enter the room. It's quite startling to hear that at night.

Comfortable beds, two bathrooms, everything was clean.

When you enter the dorm room using a card, the door buzz is very loud and the lights turn on for like a minute. This happens any time of the day and it is very annoying, especially at night.

Position cleanliness

Common fridge really small no real use of a kitchen

The room was spacious with big windows. Very clean and comfortable Good location

The thing that i liked the most is that it's close to a lot of things. You can walk from the hostel to the colosseum, Fontana di Trevi, Castello Sant'angelo, etc, etc

Light in the laundry room is poor. They don't have clear signs for cleaning and drying clothes. There's only one, almost unsticked, sign of "washing machine" that cant be seen properly with the poor light of the room. They want to charge for everything, and are not too customer service-oriented sometimes. Also, guitars don't have all strings. If you are gonna offee something, It better be usable.

Property was very clean and neat

Only microwave need to change

Great comfortable hotel like hostel.

Area felt a little unsafe as a solo female traveller walking back at night

Appertivo

Location couldve been better

All.

Pillow not soft enough.

distance form the tran station

the toilets

Easy to find, near Termini station. But for two friends it’s not okay, because the price is high and for that amount two people can get a hotel room.

Overall, the hostel is fine, but there are a few small things that could be improved. First, in the room there’s no way to dry your hands after washing — yes, there are towels for the shower, but it would be great to have something simple just for drying hands (like paper towels, a small hand towel, or an air dryer). Second, if you rent a towel for €5, you still have to buy your own shampoo or soap, which feels a bit inconvenient. Also, the entrance door is very noisy when people come in or go out, especially at night.

Clean, safe, quite, amazing staff.

Toilet door locks were not great. Should replace those as either really difficult to lock, or really difficult to unlock. Might just have been the two bathrooms in my room.

The hostel itself is very clean and looks good. The staff is great and the rooms are good

The area didnt feel safe for me to walk around at night... its very close to termini station but the people that are often in the street didnt make me feel safe. If you take taxis its okay... at night i dont recommand to walk alone. Also, In the bathroom in my room (214) theres no place to put your clothes when u shower, i recommand to add alittle shelf

The relaxed feeling in lounge /bar area

Location

I liked the position of the hostel and options that are related with staying (such as breakfast, chilling room and game options).

I didn’t like unavaliability of a water kettle and towels. Also, there is terrace at the 2nd floor for smoking which closes as 9 pm. Usually there is a rooftop terrace, but it was closed during my staying at the end od October.

Good location, staff was kind

A bit expensive for what it offered Beds have no elastic bedsheets, you have to sweat to make the bed, consider the lower bunkbed is fully enclosed and wrapping the matrass in the bedsheet is tricky. For what I paid I'd say expecting an elastic sheet is fair. Breakfast is a very cheep arranged: considered what they charged you can head to a local cafeteria and get much better breakfasts for the same money.

accessible, staffs are friendly and accommodating. Though its a 6 beds in a room, there are 2 bathrooms available.

None

Beautiful room and facility ! Very posh hostel

They don’t have a lot of events or activities going on They did not have facilities to keep our luggage go free after checkout

The hostel's structure is very good overall

Not enough space for putting my stuff in the area near my bed.

Good location, close to train and metro station. Nice spaces and staff are friendly and on hand to help with any needs you have.

Surrounding streets didn’t feel very safe but the hostel was managed well and always had staff present, felt very secure inside. Was very expensive for one night in a hostel but perhaps standard pricing for Rome.

It's a nice hostel near the train station, with a cute bar on the first floor. The rooms are clean and the location is okay, about 20 min walk to the Colisseum and maybe 30/35 min to the other attractions. Each bed has a small lamp, a plug and a locker !

Half of the plugs in the room were not working, as well as the lock of one of the bathroom of our dorm, reducing to one bathroom instead of two for a 10 beds room. Also, there is a light in the corridor staying on all night long, which can be disturbing if you don't have a night mask.

Clean rooms and decent

No privacy in your bed (curtains or something)

Clean bed and facilities, comfortable bed, very important that did not make noises when you move

I would say that some staff can give less fks about you, they make clear they actually do not care about you being nice or making conversation, it feels like they are over it. Like they stopped pretending being nice but they are still respectful tho.

Only good thing about this Hostel is the terrace!

Neighborhood is rough, and 50 Euros for a bunk bed sharing with 5 more people is bit much!

I loved how spacious the room was and the chill atmosphere of the lobby/lounge. The staff was also super helpful, friendly and available around the clock. It was definitely a worthwhile place.

I didn't like that the storage under my bed was broken so it was hard to lift the top of it and maneuver putting my bags in it. It also didn't lock so it wasn't fully secure. Also, the light turned on automatically when I entered the room very late at night and woke up one of the girls sleeping there. It would be nice if it didn't automatically turn on.

The location, The ambience.

The terrace was closed but I was explain that is closed because of the season

Clean, staff welcoming, spacious 8-bed room with two windows/natural light and two bathrooms, easy walk from/to train station.

Pricey for an 8-bed shared room but big city, they were competitive at the time.

Great location, bed and room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Overall a pleasant stay

Had to pay to rent a towel.

- Staff available 24/7 - Bathroom and bed linen were clean

- Lockers for storing suitcases after checkout are chargeable (8€ for 24h) - Close to the train station, not really safe at night, but close to the center and well connected

Helpfulness of the staff. Lounge area was very relaxing. Lockers we're a good feature

Washroom with bidet was perfect. Great location accessible for all main streets. Staff are friendly

The bed is too noisy you can hear someone is moving in the bed.

The whole place was super neat, modern and fresh - really nice vibe. The room was perfect size for one person and luggage. The bar area was nice and cozy.

The nights I went down to the bar for food/drink the staff member working there was often absent - long waits to be served. Wasn't sure if this was because he was off doing other jobs around the place elsewhere? He was friendly and had good service when he was there though.

Everything was perfect. The staff, the room, roomates, lockers, a cute photobooth in the loby. No complains

The only thing that isn't the best is the neighbourhood. As a solo female traveler I didn't feel safe at night, so I recommend taking a taxi to the hostel at night. That worked out perfectly for me.

Very close to the train station

Shower door needs fixing as does not close properly, making the bathroom wet.

Near the station. Helped staff. They had bathroom each room.

I was just unlucky, but the person in the same room snores so loudly that we tried to stop his snores several times. I think everyone couldn't sleep well. someone used my sheets for privacy curtain. so I picked up my sheets to the reception but I waited for around 30 mins:/

Everything great, recommended

Good location and friendly staff

The noise of the other guests and different times coming in the room or late night

Stayed only one night, in private room, not dorm. Location was very important for me, being able to get to Termini on foot. A lot of people express concerns about the area, but to me it seems that it more feels unsafe then it actually is unsafe. Room was good size, bed was comfortable, everything in the room was functioning.

Bathroom did not seem cleaned 100%. Not critical, just did not feel spotless. The window of the room literally looked onto two terraces, that are immediately close, so no privacy unless with fully drawn blinds. And very little natural light.
