Lovely little stay, one of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed at. I love the rooftop terrace it’s beautiful and the receptionists Kenya and Pau are legends, they deserve a pay rise for less hours. Muchas Gracias for the hospitality amigos ❤️❤️

Myself and my partner took my 17 year old daughter to stay at the Genertaor, at first i was slightly concerned due to it being a hostel however we booked a private room and trusted the other positive reviews. Check in was easy but you do need to take your own towels or you can hire them, i may have missed this in the small print but i believe some pictures show towels in the rooms which is slightly misleading. Hotel is modern and clean , the room was very basic but was all we needed for a three day stay and for what we paid. Room was clean , beds comfy and not to noisy.Roof top terrace is a really nice addition as is the lively bar and music during the evenings/night however we paid more here for drinks than we did anywhere else we went which was suprising, i think 26 Euro for 3 drinks! Location was good, close to bus stops, supermarkets and places to eat, the taco place opposite was very good. Overall i would come back.…

It was a nice place to stay. Ppl were generally careful to not wake u up. The design was cool and I especially liked how the hostel organized things in the lounge to keep hostees entertained. The restrooms were also generally cleaned. They did forget to put a cover in my bed but it could be fixed.

They kept sending new guests over to the room and to the same bed even after i reported that the roof leaked water on to my face when i slept on top bunk bed (room of 4 beds) . With me they just moved me to next bed in same room and threw me a free breakfast chip like if that solved anything

It was a pleasant stay. The place could be cleaner - the floors in our dorm felt like they weren’t mopped in ages. My bedside light never worked which was quite a bummer. The staff is super responsive and friendly - we had a complaint about the loud people in the neighbouring dorm and they handled it quickly! The atmosphere also felt really social and enjoyable - the rooftop terrace was amazing!

Good location. Rooms need improvement. Bathrooms shower fitting had an issue in our room & public washrooms. Drainage was clogged in both washrooms. Rooms floor were not clean & maintained daily. Handwash was too much water diluted. Overall Paris hostel was better than Barcelona
