Advantages: 1. Very convenient location - across the street from Hamburg Hbf and opposite the Hamburg ZOB (central bus station). So you have all the U-bahn and S-bahn lines right at hand. Also it's just about 10 minutes of walking to city center - Jungfernstieg Str and Monckeberg Str. with their theaters, shop arcades and eateries. 2. 24 hrs. reception... More

This incredibly huge hostel looks pretty new in all aspects. The bedroom for 6 people and its bathroom are tiny but quiet, dark at night, bed amazingly comfortable and towels are provided. The big security guys in front desk are of help when is about making sure the hostel is only accessible to those who are the guests. Front desk... More

We stayed 2 nights, booked the whole dorm room. Shower was super small- think airplane bathroom. Can't beat the price though. Location is fine if you don't mind noise. I suggest bringing earplugs for sleeping. The main train station is across the street, and the drunks end up there at 3am ;)

In one sentence, this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in, well worth the price (paid 20€ a night per person). In no particular order: - PERFECT location: one minute walk from the Hauptbahnhof (Main Station). Links to all intercity trains, and both the U and S Bahn (public transport). - FREE wifi throughout the hotel. Strong and... More

We liked everything here - excellent service and location. We had a twin room, which is quite simple inside, has 2 single beds, a table and a chair. Of course, no hairdrier, soap, etc. - but this is a Hostel ;) In the room the only thing you can do - is sleeping.. The spirit of Generator is in its... More

The price of the private double room in Generator Hostel Hamburg is quite high, therefore I would expect somewhat better equipment. The room is very clean, but with no place to put one's things. We would have needed more than two hangers, some hooks to hang our stuff and at least a shelf. The room is TOO plain for the... More

The key reason to stay is the closeness of the main train station with its U and S Bahn routes. The hostel looks smart although the rooms are basic with tiny en suites. The hostel is overall good value even if one of my fellow travellers had his stay ruined by having to pay 5 Euros for a towel.

Great hostel, very clean. Good security, nice bar, friendly staff. Clean rooms with small bathrooms, but they are adequate! Would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Hamburg, have never seen this good value before!

The whole place is clean, the bar and chill out areas are expansive with Wi-Fi available throughout the entire hostel, take note with so many users it can slow down but not enough to be disruptive. Really good location, right opposite Hamburg Central train and bus station which it'self is right next to the taxi rank with the shops and... More
