Big hotel & nice staff, whiling to help with their mess. Had to switch rooms 3 times because #1 was dirty with other people stuff still in there. #2 had hair on the bed, no curtains to block sun hitting us & floor was dirty but we could manage but the bathrooms on the floor had mold on shower curtains and floor and reeked of urine. Everything can be heard, ppl talking, in the hallway, playing music. They charge for everything towels, soap, shampoo etc. If u stay here get a private room with private bathroom!

The staff were atrocious. I was fined $500 for 'Smoking' - if smoking is classed as a drag of a vape pen and worth that amount then well.... I'm unsure what to say. The toilets and showers were a long walk. The noise at night from all the doors slamming shut was unbearable. In the end I got 'Banned' from the property, whilst very poorly and I feel they neglected their duty of care.

Rooms aren’t bad, good size and our a had a sink which was great. Bedding is limited and the pillows aren’t great. I would say it’s a pretty loud place. The train is right beside the building (although a plus side of being able to get downtown quick) The doors for all the rooms slam when closed so you hear that all day and night. I was hearing bangs and bumps above and below me as wall. Bring earplugs for sure. Washrooms are clean and have lots of room, but they are oddly sized. You literally have to open the door to get up from the toilet. The showers have good pressure but are small as well.

Reasonable price but booking problems.

Although I was in an 8 bed dorm with a youth group aged 11 to 14 I was not as surprised as they were when I moved in. As retired teacher I was used to children like them but they went quiet when I walked into the dorm. The youth leader tried to get me moved out but this was the only bottom bunk in the massive modern Generator Hostel. As a parent I would be horrified to know that my children were in a hostel dorm with a stranger. The hostel was close to the Landerburg Allee train, tram and bus stops. I could even see the train station from the window but could not hear the trains

good location

still undergoing construction. long lines during check-in. i got double charge—my stay was already paid-for, but i got charged again. cold—there was no heat even though the weather had turned cold. the showers and toilet stalls are too small. one elevator was broken the entire week of my stay. the other elevator was incredibly slow. not only did housekeeping use the single elevator, but so did tue construction crew, which constantly moved equipment in and out. 3 of the 4 vending machines were broken. good location, though.

Eine gute Option für ein kurzes Wochenende in Berlin, unweit von Prenzlauer Berg / Friedrichshain. Wir haben ein privates 4-er-Zimmer gebucht und waren zufrieden. Das Zimmer war "neuer", so hatte man nicht die üblichen ungemütlichen Matratzen in preisgünstigeren Hostels. Das Gemeinschaftsbad ist sehr einfach, aber ausreichend. Wasserdruck könnte in der Dusche höher sein. Mehrere Toiletten auf dem Damenklo standen unter Wasser. Während unseres Aufenthalts wurde das Problem nicht beseitigt, sodass eigentlich nur eine Toilette nutzbar war, ohne in eine Pfütze zu treten. Ansonsten Preis-Leistungs-technisch das Beste, was ich am Wochenende in den östlicheren Stadtteilen Berlins finden konnte.

Das Hostel ist sehr groß. Es lieg im Prenzlauer Berg, umgeben von anderen Hochhäusern. Direkt neben dem Hostel ist ein S-Bahnhof und eine Tram-Station. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich, sprechen aber eher Englisch als Deutsch. Das Einzelzimmer ist einfach und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Einzig der Duschkopf muss mal wieder entkalkt werden. Für den Preis von 8 Euro war das Frühstück in Ordnung. Ich persönlich hätte mir mehr Auswahl gewünscht. Alles in allem eindeutig Daumen hoch. 👍

El lugar no era muy limpio y está muy descuidado, se que los inquilinos son los cerdos pero para eso hay que establecer reglas. Quiero estacar la atención solo de dos chicas de recepción , una rubia que trabaja por las mañanas, no recuerdo su nombre pero habla también español y fue muy amable, la otra persona es una chica Argentina(creo se llama Priscila o Pilar), sólo la vi una noche y es buenísima, ambas lo son.
