On a short notice I booked a single bed in an 8-bed room dormitory and was impressed how clean and organised it is. Shower and Toilet directly available in the room. Location is as central as it can be. Stuff super friendly. All you can wish for a city travel or travel for work :)

Modern, exactly what you need while traveling. Although they had a bar I never heard aby extra noise. I enjoyed sitting down in the lobby because there was a lot of warm and inviting seating to just chill in. Would stay at a Generator Hostel again!

- Comfortable bed and room with good space between beds; - Two showers, one toilet and one sink with mirror inside the room; - Big lockers under the bed; - Warm water, good pressure; hand soap; - They rent multiple things in case you need (bikes, flip flops, padlock, shampoo, etc); - There is a bar and restaurant inside – didn't eat there because it was very expensive for me but the atmosphere is nice; - Bed equiped with two power plugs and a small light; - Beds didn't make any noise which is great!

I've rented Donkey Republic bike, and during my ride – the telephone battery was gone. So, asking other bikers only the direction to city center – I've found out the road to Generator hostel without problems :-)

Shared shower and sink in the room - sometimes it is not very comfortable. I'd prefer a shared shower on the floor.

“A fabulous location and would recommend to other travellers!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
Air conditioning in the room would have been nice, at night the heat was unbearable and the temp outside wasn't even over 6 degrees celsius. It would be unbearable in the summertime. The lift was also a bit scary, it kept stopping oddly. Don't assign bed numbers to people as some struggle to climb up, it would be better if it was first come first serve like it is in most hostels. Other than that I have no negatives, I didn't use the facilities on offer. I would recommend taking your own locker, towel and everything else as nothing is provided other than your bed and sheets. They charge you money for forgotten items so don't be ripped off!!!
Arriving at the Generator, I was amazed at it's central location. Very close to the main sights that Copenhagen offers and only 10 minutes from Nyhavn metro. From the airport it only took me about 30 minutes to make it to the hostel, however I found the 2pm check in to be an issue as I was already in Copenhagen at 12 so had to carry around my backpack for a while. Other than that I found the hostel fabulous for a solo traveller. I didn't use any other facilities other than the room itself and inside I was surprised by the cleanliness and comfort of the room. I didn't like that they assigned a bed for you as I don't particularly like climbing up to the top bunk but other than that everything was great, I particularly liked the charger cables behind the bed which lack in other hostels I've used. The bed was comfy and storage space was perfect, more than enough room. Everything was great, though I must admit I did get hot at night, there is no air conditioning so I can't imagine how awful it would be in the summer months. Staff were great when I checked in and I will defo be using this hostel again on any future trips to Copenhagen.
