Generator London

Great central location. Walking distance to Russell Square. Close enough to the British Museum and the British Library, so great base for sightseeing. Lots of good places to eat nearby, including a breakfast place that opens very early in the morning just around the corner. Comfy bed with a lock-it-yourself storage under the bed.

Very small elevator, but at least there is one! No common kitchen, so no option to bring your own food - just eat out. The bathrooms could be cleaner; no soap/shampoo - so bring your own. Also, bathrooms/toilets are located in the middle of the building so if your room is located towards the end of the hall, the toilets are far.

Location close to public transport Bar and cafe on site

Small cramped room Shower situation was not good - no room to put clothes without them getting wet, some showers didn’t work very well, kind of smelly and dingy Bathroom was quite far away from our rooms

The location was great. Loads of cafes close by for the mornings. Underground stop on the Piccadilly line 5 minutes walk away to connect to Covent garden, Buckingham palace and Leicester square in a really short amount of time. Kings Cross was only 10 minutes walk away for most other lines. It was perfect for us because we spent hardly any time in the hostel so it did the job. The downstairs bar was really busy all the time with activities each night which looked fun. Luggage storage was really easy after check out for 6 pound for 6 hours for a large locker that fit three small cases.

The triple room we got was really small for a bunk bed and single bed. It was also a bit old and rundown. There were some stains on the sheets we got for the beds which was a bit off-putting. It's disappointing because I do think the rest of the hostel had a lot nicer rooms from the photos on the website. There were no plug sockets close to the bed and only one light for the room. It was also very warm, so had no choice but to leave the window open at night which was noisy.

Location

Cleaning and the staff was lost receiving a lot of people at tte same time. In mt room, the manager was there to confirm the person’s who supposed to be there. And some were not supoosed to be there. Wich means security problems.
