The interior was amazing. The room itself was clean and tidy. Had an easy check in and check out. The stuff was super friendly. I mean the hostel is huge and is like a maze but you get used to it. overall I had a great experience

The staff is so nice, so supportive when I want to change my bed in a mixed room to a female room without an extra fee. The location is near the metro, Kongens Nytorv square and Nyhavn, so you can hang out and find many restaurants to eat out.

As we're w kids, we arrived super early and staff were attentive. Allow us early check in as we hv kids to settle. Not once but twice. We are so grateful for that.

Lovely Location quite central in Copenhagen allowed me to walk more rather then using different forms of public transport. Stayed in the mixed dormitory met lots of people travelling solo and everyone was very kind and welcoming really comforted me as it was my first time travelling solo.

“Oversized hostel with no atmosphere”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The hostel is really big. I didn't feel comfortable in the "common area", which is basically the hostels own bar where you are supposed to buy drinks. There is no kitchen or something where you can meet your fellow travellers and hang out and relax, or at least I didn't find it. Luggage storage is only possible in not-very-cheap lockers.
The location is excellent, really close to the royal quarters and Nyhavn. Walking distance from Noerreport train station and a little longer walk from the main train station. The beds are comfortable and everything is clean, but small. Really cheap, which is basically the only reason I would consider the place.

it was my fifth stay at here. I don't know why, some of staff they gave me a room located deep inside. normally they make up room around 12, near from the main elevator, but that room ready at 2pm. and that room had problem with shower.. so I had to change the room. I was so tired because of fligt(it was 4am.), so It made me so annoyed. but staffs were still good to me, they tried to help me well. I think it could be better to care facilities well.
Reasonable price, good location, nice staffs, elevator.

I’d appreciate not to leave the sheets to the customers for making the bed. Lots of hostels can manage that and I believe you guys can do it as well My last night was a nightmare but I won't break score over it because I'm satisfied with their approach as a customer
Central Toilet and bathroom separate Comfy bed and 2 plugs for each bed The shower was clogged but fixed the day after Big locker under your bed can take your luggage and your backpack Wifi connection is good Cool common room with daily activities Approaching the customers responsibly This is not my first Generator experience and I definitely recommend anyone

We were kept awake at night by loud music from the bar despite being on the 3rd floor, plus people were shouting outside at all hours of the night. Would recommend bringing ear plugs if you want any sleep!
The room and ensuite were very clean, beds were comfy and facilities in the room were good - e.g. lots of plug sockets and lamps. The location was great in terms of being really close to landmarks, shops, Christmas markets etc.

We had a two bed room with en suite bathroom. There was no heating in the bathroom, so it was very cold and it was barrier-free and handicap accessible, not so good for us as we d have preferred a normal one.

The fee for luggage storrare is quite out there. You will also have to rent a towel if you don't bring your own, which is the policy across all Generator hostels.
It was my 2nd time staying in a Generator hostel (my fist time was in Stockholm) and it was just as great. It's always clean, comfy and just what I need for. short stay. I chose a bed in a female-only room, it had its own shower and a toilet (they were separated into two mini-rooms, which was so smart!). We Asli had a sink and a vanity right in the room, which was also quite convenient. I enjoyed the stay and I'll definitely choose Generator next time.
