Generator is located in the ultra-trendy Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg. The area is great for shopping and sightseeing. If you’re a sports fan then the Velodrome hosts many sporting and music events, and guess what? We are only next door. The best way to see and do it all is by hopping on the S-Bahn or a tram into the city centre. This is an area that is lively and vibrant, you’ll never run out of things to do and see. When you get back to Generator, head to the bar and lounge and get yourself a well-deserved drink or two and soak up the best entertainment for miles around. We’ve also got great beds for sleepy heads and of course, you’ll be enjoying Berlin life in the most stylish and authentic surroundings. Choose from a great selection of rooms, from Dorms, to Quads, to Private en-suites with innovative mod cons. Fast and free Wi-Fi is all yours too.

- RemcoASRotterdam, The Netherlands1 contributionGreat but bathrooms need improvementThis accommodation attracts a lot of school groups and younger aged travelers mostly from around Germany I feel. As a solo traveler from The Netherlands I was placed in a room with other solo travelers which was fun. I don’t know if they do that on purpose but it creates a better ambiance in the room. For shared spaces it was a different story since it is shared with young teenage groups. The facilities of renting a bike or 24/7 vending machines are great. Only thing I wish they would improve on is hygene in the bathrooms. All didn’t smell that nice and there was often broken glass on the floor. Also the water pressure from the taps is low so it was hard to do grooming or any other thing where a little water pressure is needed. I would come back I think.Thank you for sharing your comments with us. We are in the process of upgrading and renovating our entire property to provide an even better level of comfort, cleanliness and service for all our guests. I will make sure your comments are being passed to the relevant teams. We hope to see you again in the future!

- vanessabolivarp1 contributionDo not go there for private roomsPrivate room are far to expensive for what they offered, we found two insects in the bed, the bathroom was not clean. The check in time 2 PM was not respected, the service team started cleaning at 3pm, we saw them just entering in the room changing sheets and betting, putting some perfum, but not a real cleaning (if not see the bathroom). We could go inside the room at 3:10 PM, so we were delayed for an appointment we had. No towels in the bedroom, even though it was a private bed room (usually in other hostels for the price we paid, it is included). Almost not soap at all in the bed room.We sincerely appreciate your feedback and we're very sorry to hear that your stay was not up to your expectations. Your comments have been shared with the team to learn and assess what we can do to prevent this from happening in the future. We hope you still enjoyed your time in Berlin. If you stay with us again, we will make sure we leave a better impression on you.Written March 18, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Date of stay: July 2022Written July 15, 2022
- Zyborg CYDF16 contributionsBest hostel I have stayed so farI stayed on a 4 bed room and the bed is very clean with charging port and USB plug. There is even a small reading light to search for items at night. The wifi works without any issue, and there is a large facilities at ground floor with plenty of benches for ones quiet time. What a lovely place! Though my only gripes are there is no microwave oven (but they serve food at affordable price) and the room mates might be hit or miss. Overall the best hostel i've stayed. Excellent! The staff there are friendly and great too!Oww, so great to see that you had such a good time with us! :) Thank you! And we hope to have you with us again soon. #KeepitGenWritten March 4, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Date of stay: December 2022Written December 21, 2022

The stuff was nice and friendly and the room was clean and big enough. If we plan a next group trip to berlin we stay there again. Next to the hotel is a train station so its perfect for trips to berlin.

I am not sure whom to blame, the staff or the guests (mostly teenagers). The status of the toilets was appalling. It felt like the toilets were used by wild animals- blood on the seat, urine all over the floor and on the seat, not one person flushes properly, smells like excrement all over. The bathing area is another story, urine smell and soapy water all over the floor. I might have travelled in the wrong time, but man I had a horrific experience with the toilets. On the other hand, rooms were clean, the bed was well maintained, everything was working; I at least had a good night's sleep. If you want hygiene - skip it.

Last minute booking to attend concert at the Mercedes Benz Arena. This hotel is a great alternative for people on budget. Rooms are on the smaller side but they have friendly staff and all you need for a one night stay.

If you are going to visit Berlin and not looking for five stars hotel, choose Generator - it's very comfortable place, cosy and overall cheap. Clean toilets and showers. Very warm rooms - I really appreciate it, because I cannot rest well, when it's freezing cold in my hotel room.

Online check-in offered but not working. On-site check- in with a long queue and a person at the counter, not at the least interested in interacting with customers, not giving any information, not even looking at you and responding in English to German. Odd, being int Berlin?! Rooms tiny to the max, bathroom a plastic cubicle that provides no privacy, minimum storing options, sockets everywhere but not near a mirror (of which there are 3). Looks like the room design was just aiming at "use dark colours to hide the grime", nobody ever looked at usability. Yes, it is cheap and yes, it is very near to public transportation and yes, we slept well. But I felt like a thing, that hat to be stowed away overnight, not a customer and sure not a guest.

Clean and spacious rooms with beds who didn't make any noise. They have a really nice social area with a pool table, bar with decent prices and an outside area with many seats. One of the biggest perks is its closeness to both S-bahn station and a Trum-station. A nice park quite close as well!
