Generator Hostel, Rome

Room cleaned daily, staff very helpful. Breakfast was an extra,, strictly continental.. I was lucky with my room mates as we were all early to bed.

The property’s excellent location and comfortable accommodations were definite highlights of my stay.

Breakfast service could be improved, as some staff seemed overwhelmed when handling large groups, which created a slightly tense atmosphere.

Easy walk to the metro and 15 minute walk to Roma Termini. I met some other interesting solo travellers staying in the shared bunk room. For me swapping stories with other travellers is a big part of why I travel.

Pre dawn street noise. Bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Clean and comfortable

Expensive for the hostel

Nice lockers, nice room, clean.

The location is not the best if you like to arrive late. And the room was too hot at night. It had no air conditioning “because it was not summer yet” but then anyone did nothing to help with it… I couldn’t sleep well, neither anyone in the room. Also the rooftop was closed because it “was not summer yet” … then they should specify this on the hostel description right ?

Accessible location from main train station & other public transport options, the women-only room was quite spacious. The hostel is overall clean, the staffs are also very friendly & informative.

Can be noisy in the early morning or later in the evening, especially if you let the windows open. I recommend bringing earplugs, would be ideal if the hostel also provide a (cheap) pair made of foam for guests :)

Clean, attractive building, spacious room, friendly staff

Breakfast, only paper cups

Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, good facilities.

Ability to pay 3 Euro to early check in by 2 hours or late check in by 2 hours.

There is microwave but you need your own microwavable bowl and utensils (although you can buy plastic utensils for 20 cents) I typically expect hostel kitchen to be more friendly towards preparing our food and eating food in the kitchen. But there are no utensils provided, I had to get my own microwavable bowls. The fridge is also placed in a tiny cupboard, there was once when one fridge got unplugged I suspect is because it was so squeezy that one of the plugs came off. The tap at the common area is also not user friendly. The room is also not well ventilated (room 606), so make sure to open up the windows.

Decent sized room for 6 people. Wasn’t expecting two en-suites but was lovely to have the extra bathroom. Good location close to terminal to get to airport and not far from colosseum

Room was a little stuffy at some points but not anything major.

Friendly welcoming staff. Cafe and bar and lounges were great treats

The room had two bathrooms, which were clean.

The dispensers in the bathroom could be more user-friendly.

Loved my stay here. Would highly recommend. Clean. Comfortable and just works so well.for a solo.or even a couple traveling. I stayed in the dorm

Shower in my room, didn't drain well. But really that's all.

Location was good. Very close to the central train station. Walking distance to main attractions and restaurants. Staff were friendly. Luggage storage facilities are good.

Towels had to be rented for 5 euros which is ridiculous. Bathrooms are not cleaned regularly.

The reception was friendly, location is very good and the room was spatious.

The bathrooms could be better. Curtains can be added to the beds. In my opinion, shower gel and towels should always be included in the service.

The friendly staff, cool and vibe bar and common area and close proximity to the metro and other facilities l.

Close to Bus 77 and Termini

We’ve stayed in Generator in Stockholm before so knew it was a great company. The room is clean and the staff were helpful. It was very close to the main train station Termini and even closer to another metro stop which was great. It is a long way to get to most of the tourist spots and the Vatican however we loved to walk (about 40mins through Rome to the Collosseum etc). The common areas were small, especially with other large groups staying but overall was great value for money. Would stay again!

My first experience was with new roommates. Staff was friendly, leisure room is cozy and generator finds near station.

Basic dorm but clean, nothing fancy but great for a one night stay, great location

not the best value for money

Everything about staying at generator was perfect except I didn’t feel very safe as a solo female traveler in the area it is situated in.

Great, exactly met expectations, area was a bit sketchy at night though.

safe and secure

nothing

On a back street. Can feel a bit strange late at night.

There was no shared kitchen, although there were two small fridges, a microwave and sink in the common area. There was not a good wifi connection in the common area

All ok

No filtered water is available for free

The room is very spacious and the bed was comfortable. The plugs near the bed were working and it was really clean.

The location was near the station but I felt unsafe especially at night. There were black guys outside every night and I can hear people shouting.

Good location, metro and groceries are very close

Couldn't check in early

the lockers of generator for shared rooms is nice and big u can secure ur stuff, dont forget your padlock.

when u coming back in late night streets can be a bit scary but its all in rome. there was no seating options in shared room. only beds.

didnt like to put my card inside a socket for electricity in the SHARED ROOM. somebody else can take it by mistake.

so close to termini train station. rooms were clean

the lightning in the shared room was not enough, and some of the lights in the beds were not working.

Really nice place to stay, good location - about a 25 min walk to the centre and a metro very close by if you're not fancying a long walk Nice vibe in the accommodation, rooms are clean and beds comfy

The beds are comfortable. The bad was very clean.

The neighbours seem to be not so save as a woman. I don’t know didn’t felt save when I arrived in the evening. Some people tried randomly to talk to me on the street. Better to arrive with taxi or uber or in a group when you might come in the evening.

- staff was very friendly and helpful - just one minute walking distance from metro station and 5min to Termini station - room and bathroom was really nice and clean

clean hotel, large private room with large window, confortable beds, large and clean private bathroom, safe in the room, close to the tube station, 5 min walk from the Termini train station (and the great food court there !), not far from Santa Maria Maggiore

nothing

Large clean room with easy check in and very close to the main train station

The shower barely drained you had to turn it off while lathering to not flood the room

Location (train station, metro, buses) Big room, good shower Friendly staff

Mattress (2 for one bed, moved too easily) Noisy group of kids

It is near to many tourist places..

The staff were mostly lovely and I liked the size of the room it was compact and comfortable. Could have been more plugs tho.very clean also

Difficult checking in on the first night, and the coffee machine didn't go on before 7 which was annoying but on reflection it's good to know it's being cleaned :)

The location is great just off the train station. Amazing reception, small cafe that offers food for an extra. The rooms were large with two bathrooms, barely noticed sharing a room with other people.

No complaints one of the toilets had some issues flushing but seemed to have been fixed quickly

I liked the fact everything was inorder and good staff

I didn't like that I couldn't take my girlfriend inside when she came visiting me

Great location , nice room and bathroom insuite type ... Breakfast is extra to pay... Man on reception is super friendly and give me good tip about attractions and metro transportation ...

There is no kitchen to prepare snack to dinner, and not allowed to bring food and drinks in

I liked that there was dryer for clothes in the bathroom. That was very comfortable to dry some small clothes. Also that a working mood was accompanied by the working atmosphere in the Generator Hostel. The personal were very professional, nice and friendly

Nice room and facilities

Not very well located. Dark and dangerous at night

The cleanliness is good, super convenient

No access to the roof top by there in the pictures. The area is a little sketchy.

The customer service was very good, and the lobby area was very nice with a bar as well.

Coming back in the night, the shared rooms were pitch black. More night lights would be helpful

Great staff, great time spent there

- The rooms are kept very clean and tidy, beds aren’t squeaky. - Staffs are extremely friendly & helpful. - Public areas are spacious and nice to chill in.

- The door doesn’t unlock right away after you insert the key card, have to insert it 2-3 times until it does (happened to all roommates). - The shower’s drain was clogged and there were many small flies in both the toilet and shower rooms. - The hostel is in an area filled with many immigrants and most times many men gather outside buildings in day and night time (don’t know for what reason), so it can be a bit scary for solo female travellers.

Very good hostel, every time I come to Rome I stay here. Close to Termini Station, nice rooms, clean bathrooms and friendly staff. They have lockers to leave your luggage for a fee.

The staff was amazing and always ready to help. The room was always clean and the access was very easy.

The only bad aspect for me was the location. The access is very easy but not that safe at night. Near the train station.
