I stayed at the Generator in June of 2012 while visiting Copenhagen for a few days. The location is great, but those with heavy luggage should be aware that it is a little walk to the train; that said, Copenhagen is a walking and cycling paradise. I was amused to notice a little friendly rivalry between it and Amsterdam around... More

He had a warm welcome in Kopenhagen with a very charming receptionist who checked us in. The room (4-bed-room) was a little small (with separate shower and separate WC) but clean and functional. We also booked late-check-out for 100kr and breakfast for 65kr. Breakfast is okay for the price. The bar has great 2-for-1-offers but meals are not available all... More

Copenhagen is expensive, so it was a good price for the city. We stayed one night before our cruise our of Copenhagen. From the airport we took the train, then walked to the hostel (about a 20 minute walk). From other reviews we knew what to expect - lots of young party goers. The hostel itself is run well, just...

Spent three nights here on holiday in April, my second stay at Generator Copenhagen. The hostel most reminds me of a chain hotel but with dorm rooms. It's very slick, clean and professionally run, I particularly like the shower and separate toilet in each dorm (but remember to bring your own towel!), and even better plenty of power sockets (two...

Well I picked this hostel based on the reviews here and a few photos I was shown. The hostel is decent. But do not expect anything over the top. The cleanliness is okay. Corridor and rooms can be smelly during summer. In room ventilation is very bad it got very hot to the point you couldn't fall asleep. Nevertheless it's... More

I stayed here for one night, as I found it to be closer to the metro than my last hostel. So obviously I didn't use much of the features this place has to offer. I can tell you that if you are looking for a hostel close to the metro, not commuter trains, close to many affordable restaurants, many cool... More

Very good hostel. Rooms are very comfortable and everything looks very new. Showers, toilets are OK. Free wi-fi. Location is perfect, almost in the center of night life. Train station is kinda far away, but it takes only 20-25 minutes to get there by foot.

Everything is okay. Just need to await of some few points: 1) Lift is small and slow. Need to wait for a few minutes although the hostels only have about 5 storeys. 2) There is no kettle in the room and restaurants refused to provided hot water for free.
