8/10 Very good

Good location

Very good location. Small clean room. Breakfast is worth the price. Ask for a room on the side of the yard since the sun warms up the street side on the morning.
Minerva, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was in a very good location the main lift was a bit slow the bar had run out of crossiants on the morning we came down for breakfast. The room would have benefitted from a hoover and a bath mat
Wendy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyable!

Great location and the room was quite clean! The website says AC but it was boiling hot and no air conditioning which was disappointing.

Excellent choice for central Copenhagen. Stayed in a private ensuite room for 2 and while maybe not quite at the level of a good hotel everything was perfectly acceptable
Mark, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

It is a great property, the location it is so convinient.
pablo, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, curtains only covered half the windows so woken up at dawn but otherwise great. Bar was buzzing and staff were friendly and helpful.
Elaine, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth the value.

We booked a room with two single beds and own bathroom, hence I expected a decent standard level, though it’s a low budget place. The room was really warm, and it was not possible to air out, curtains was dirty, the bed should have been retired 7 years ago, since the comfort was gone and it was screaming for dear life, at any turn. Besides above the staff was really friendly, serviceminded and helpful. The place is located very well, and it’s easy to check in and out.
Kathe, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall good quality for a hostel although the toilet in the room was broken. The staff were super friendly and helpful and efficient. I rated three stars because it was way too expensive for a bunk bed. If this was an appropriate price then I would have rated five stars as it’s a good hostel! Great location and clean. Good to be able to rent a bike. The locker was useful.

8/10 Very good

The mixed 8 persons room was too small in a way. It was a warm day (22°C ish) and could not open windows. Ventilation was terrible for this time at least. I had a decent buffet breakfast. Very friendly staffs. Appreciate good front desk service.

Stefani, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bad experience

There is nothing good about this hotel except its location. There is no air conditioning, what is the point of opening all the curtains and windows and making the room 50 degrees inside. You can get old waiting for the elevator, and when you get in, you can feel swaying and in danger of falling at any moment. Consider yourself lucky if the light in your room is on. A place that does not deserve the money you give in terms of cleanliness.

10/10 Exceptional

Few minutes walk to supermarket, restaurants, harbour front , metro, and main shopping streets. Great location
2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not for me

The staff were all quite helpful and friendly. The location is great and there is a bar on site. I was placed in a room with 5 existing clients (both M and F) - and that room was filthy. The bathroom smelled like urine (causing the entire room to smell) and the general dirty condition/untidiness was off-putting. I realize the facility can’t really control the condition of the rooms, but the experience would keep me from returning.
Julie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Generator is a bare bones place to stay in a great location. An easy walk to everything! Pretty basic accommodation but perfectly clean.
Emma, 2-night trip

Great hostel

This hostel had a nice vibe We booked a private room with washroom and room was nice comfortable clean and great value for money They also have cycles for rent which was so convinient for us to roam the city Doesn’t have dinner options but breakfast is available at property and staff was very helpful and good
Harshada, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall great stay!! Would return

Stayed in a 6-bed private room - fantastic price and amazing location! Beds and pillows were comfy. Great activites in the hostel. Downsides were the 1. noise of the nightclub that takes place on a Friday night, it went on until 3am I think 2. The bathroom sink is in the middle of the room and not in the toilet, just makes it loud when you wash your hands in the middle of the night Overall a great stay and I would recommend it and return here!
Aisling, 3-night trip

Please improve the Breakfast

I always choose Generator for good location , nice place friendly staff BUT …. Very disappointed with the very POOR BREAKFAST, juice very watery and fruit from a can very bad taste and very bad , PLEASE, you need to improve the breakfast!! THANK YOU

great location

Centrally located. close to metro and the center. all walkable. Very cute hotel/hostel. Stayed in the superior twin room with bathroom. room was comfortable and clean.
Tanja, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Appreciate this was a budget stay but I still expect the room to be clean, which it really wasn’t. The bed was covered in hair and the floor felt really dirty under foot. Would suit backpackers / students more so than families / couples
