Generator Hostel, Rome

Friendly & helpful staff, Clean facilities,

Location was great for Coliseum, Trevi fountain and Spanish steps, all well within walking distance, however we did appear to be in a slightly "rough" area. Police consistantly outside. We were in a mixed dormitory, which was fine but disturbed by large party of teenagers in room above. Staff on duty did deal with it.

Very friendly staff who genuinely enjoy their guests comfort. Bar and bar food good. Great location.

A beautiful and clean hotel

.

The hostel is located right next to Termini station so it makes it very practical to arrive and leave by bus or train, even to the airport. The distance to the city center is 20 min by foot but there is a metro station right next to the hostel. The reception and common rooms are very comfortable and nice. The rooms are spacious with separated ensuite bathroom and toilet which is great for a room with more people. The lockers beneath the bed are very big. Every bed had a light and two power sockets.

The only thing I didn't like and that I would change is the bed sheet and matress. The matress had plastic cover while the bed sheet didn't have elastic so with every turn my sheet would slip. But besides that everything was great.

Friendly staff Location

Clean, well appointed rooms. Lovely helpful staff. Near Termini station, and very close to Vitorio Emmanuele metro station. Don’t understand the negative reviews at all, our experience was great.

Nothing

Very nice and friendly staff, a great location, a comfortable bed, and a clean room

Noise from outside at night, and one shower in the 8-bed room had no hot water

Absolutely amazing staff, they were very helpful and friendly. Rooms and common areas were clean, there were an extra room with lockers to leave the luggage (for an extra fee) after check out. Overall, good value for money.

I was missing a little kitchen (there are 2 small fridges, a microwave, a kettle and a few other items) and the location was okay, but didn’t feel safe, especially for the women in the evening/night time.

4 bedroom dorm is very spacious, separated bathroom & shower room

Not allow to cook but microwave and fridge in common area.

Honestly it is a very very nice experience, met super cool people from many countries and lived together like we knew each other for months. The staff is super friendly and they deep clean the bathrooms daily. would definitely recommend and would try again. I recommend the 6 beds room because its more spacious than the 4 and has 2 bathrooms.

It was clean and cozy, the room was big. the price was also fair.

The bedsheet were from materials like plastic and it was causing sweating and annoy while sleeping. The beds were not having curtains for privacy or to prevent annoying others from light etc.

Close to station

Close to Termini train station.

The bed was very comfy Roommates were lovely and great to talk to Staff was friendly

No downsides, all was good

I loved the bar/dining room and the food they had. It was delicious to boot! The location was great and super close to the metro and train station. The square a block or so from the hostel had great coffee options.

The noise at times was a bit much, but they can’t really control that. My room was really stuffy and warm, but I had a window so I just opened it.

Location and staff

Staying in this hostel exceeded my expectations. The room was big and spacious. It had its own bathroom and toilet. The staff was super nice and helpful.

N/A

Location

Horible smell in the bathroom

Friendly staff and great location

Our room was very hot, fridges were broken but not cleaned out so very dirty and had food going off (no sign indicating they were broken)

Team is great and kind and with a sense of humor

The bathroom door was broken, so only one of the two bathrooms was usable. The hair dryer is from the last century and barely blowing the air

The place is close to a subway station, which makes it easier in cases of starting or ending the day of tour.

The reception was average, there was a polite and receptive employee, but there was also a very rude employee. The place does not have many facilities, charges to leave suitcases, the laundry does not work at the mentioned time and does not have ease of use.

Location, friendly staff

The locker price is too expensive It was 10€ for 24hrs (6€for 6 hrs) I stayed in another hostel with the same locker system and it’s just 4€ for 24hrs..

The rooms and beds were comfortable and staff was really friendly and helpful.

The outside area was little sketchy not nice as solo woman, the rooms were also very cold but they turned the temperature up and provided extra blanket when asked. Would also be nice if bar was open for longer.

Big rooms, bar & food available.

Sketchy neighborhood, not good at night. Rooms & bathroom not cleaned enough. Expensive for what you get.

The room was really clean, well equipped and a great size

The location did not feel very safe when walking through it during the day

Overall room was ok location was great. Staff was nice and hotel bar was very good nearby very good locations on walk distance to visit and train station was very near. Highly recomended for solo traveller.

i like all the things.

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.
