This Hostel is super close to everything. It’s about 350 m from the metro station at the center of town.. that makes it a one line 7 stop ride from the airport, which is great. It also puts it at the center all the tourist attractions. The only downsides are: the rooms are a little cramped, and the building can get heated up if it’s a hot day outside (I was there in September so just opening the window fix the problem, but I could see that during the heat of the summer it could be a bigger issue). I liked it a lot. I’m going back.

This place is usually great. Staff, location, clean. There was construction going on all night long this time around n made it hard to sleep. This does not reflect on Generator at all, but an honest review for the date.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) I stayed at Generator Hostel last night and had a very mixed experience. Pros: • The staff is absolutely excellent—friendly, helpful, and professional. Full marks to the front desk and service team. • The common areas like the bar and lounge are well-designed and welcoming. • Lockers are convenient and provide a sense of security. Cons: • Dormitory experience was disappointing. Guests were drying their clothes on their beds, which made the room feel messy and unhygienic. • Poor ventilation in the rooms—windows are kept closed due to cold weather, making it stuffy and difficult to breathe, especially for someone with asthma. • Beds are extremely close to each other, leaving almost no personal space. The cramped setup adds to the discomfort. • A lot of snoring and noise makes it hard to sleep in shared rooms. • Bathrooms and toilets are located inside the dorms, which means eight people sharing one small space creates lingering smells and general discomfort. • Elevators are noisy and feel a bit unstable, which doesn’t inspire confidence. Overall: While the staff and common areas are great, the actual sleeping and hygiene conditions in the dorms need serious improvement. Not recommended for anyone sensitive to air quality, noise, or looking for a restful stay.

It is hostel, not a Hotel. Guests are from all ages and groups from families to gropus in their mid 20s. Lots of games in place for families with teenagers and above, lovely young atmosphere. With inside bar and music, and sport tv until late. Only one lift for 6 floors, you wait long time to reach the 6th floor, i used the stairs mainly. In the room, the shower , sink and toilet seat are in one single small space with a curtain to contain the shower water, the floor gets all wet, you need to use toilet roll to dry the floor or the hand swiper... the bed is very comfortable and spacious. Room has window to the street and was noisy, but after a while it was quiet. The TV didn't get any channel, it was reported to reception but they didn't so anything to resolve the issue. Excellent location with walking distance to everywhere. Many bars and restaurants around the area. A few stag and hen parties during the weekend that make it a bit loud over the night. It was a good stay, the builting a bit dated, but over all ok for one or two nights...

Great people

The room was nice but did not have a.c The bed had two comforters on it and no top sheet they did provide a sheet when I asked. We had to keep the windows open. There was lots of noise outside at night. The public space is very worn. The people were great and helped us with a problem we had with our upcoming train trip.

We were visiting as a family of four, woth two young ish kids 6 and 9. We had a family room with bunk bed. Having separate shower and toilet was good with the sink in the room. The dining options were good and loved the games tbere. The breakfast was a little limited and the cooked breakfast was sadly not available,due to Oil needing changed in tbe kitchen?! Overall a great experience and tbe staff was friendly. Sadly the light in the showroom wouldn't turn off and was on all night, whi h wasn't great for both nights we were there. This was highlighted to the team, but maintenence had been unable to fix it. Convinent and a good price

Location was central and ideal for exploring Copenhagen. We requested cot and this had been prepared in the room ready. We all slept so well, baby included. The room was basic but had everything we needed. There is a bar and games you can access during the day. Also the option to buy anything you may have forgotten. We also used their lockers to store our bags after checkout so we could explore for the day. They were about 60DKK for the day and a large one holds a fair amount of luggage. Only downside is there’s only 1 lift which can be a bit of a waiting game. Had we not had the pushchair we wouldn’t have needed it, but something to be aware of if you do require a lift. There’s also a tourist section near to reception with brochures and also discounts for certain shops / attractions - very handy!! The staff were all approachable and friendly. Overall we had a brilliant stay and would definitely return!

Appreciate this was a budget stay but I still expect the room to be clean, which it really wasn’t. The bed was covered in hair and the floor felt really dirty under foot. Would suit backpackers / students more so than families / couples

Would not recommend.

Our room was smaller than expected, bathroom sink and shower wasn’t draining properly. Customers have to pay for their luggage to be stored is greedy! Bright note, the staff was friendly and it was in good walking radius of everything.

Overall great stay!! Would return

Stayed in a 6-bed private room - fantastic price and amazing location! Beds and pillows were comfy. Great activites in the hostel. Downsides were the 1. noise of the nightclub that takes place on a Friday night, it went on until 3am I think 2. The bathroom sink is in the middle of the room and not in the toilet, just makes it loud when you wash your hands in the middle of the night Overall a great stay and I would recommend it and return here!

Basic hostel hotel but central location. Good: Welcoming staff. Central location to the city attractions with transport close by if needed. Very quiet location - slept very well. Clean room. Great shower with instant warm water. Plugs by bed Not so good: Bed creaky. Bed sheet did not fit bed well and kept rolling up leaving the mattress exposed (mattress is plastic so doesn't feel good to sleep on when sheet has moved!) Corridors could do with better signs to lift (walked past the door to the lift several times before I found it!)
