This hostel chain is better than some 2/3 star hotels around the city, and you also can meet up some great ppl. Especially at the pub or nightclub downstairs.

Location is great. Staff is amazing and accommodating as always. It is still my favorite place to stay although its showing a little wear in places. Staff very responsive when notified of a problem. Multiple metro lines a short distance get and bus across the street that easily takes you to Gare du Nord.

An Inside Look at Generator Paris

Evening entertainment is aplenty when it comes to Generator. Check out our Café Fabien menu for a quick bite, then head down the quirky spiral staircase into our very own metro station looking night bar. Or head up the lift to the 9th floor and discover the jaw dropping views of the Sacré-Cœur and Montmartre that come with drinks on the rooftop bar. There’s nothing quite like watching the sun set over Paris with a cold drink in hand.

It is a locker to leave a luggage so it generates extra cost.

“Extremely clean and comfortable as the Generator standards rules”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The common areas weren't enough and they rapidly created a dark ambience when they let the guess stay close inside the rooms. The hostel became absolute depressive in only 12 hours. Completely silence, no lights enough, the building almost empty and the few guest closed in the rooms in the darkness (the sky turned very dark those days). The situation made me so nervous because I didn't wanted to stay there as a prisoner, and a couple of weird situations happened and I didn't like it (I prefer not to tell it in here because I understand that the staff was living in the same uncertainty as us). I would appreciated more humanity and some kind detail to the guests that day. Just this :-)
As an old friend from the Generator Miami, the Paris one was at the level I expected (without comparing with the Miami one). The staff was nice and the cleaniness as the Generator levels. Cannot enjoy the rest of the place due the COVID-19 restrictions. I came at Generator the day when the quarantine begin so things went weird for everyone. They handled the situation the best they could.

The room I chose was the 8 bed dormitory. The room's not that spacious for 8 beds.
I like Generator because it still accepted guests unlike other hotels which cancelled my reservation due to Corona virus. So clearly it was not my first choice. However, I still enjoyed staying there as it's close to Colonel Fabien Metro station and there're open stores and pizza and burger restaurants opposite the hotel (not easy to find ones during this time)

“Perfect and cheap place to stay in Paris”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The only point I didn't enjoyed about the Generator is that, compared to the Generator Miami, this has less common areas to stay calm without thinking in the schedule rules.
The most important things: cleanliness (maybe the best hostel you can stay in), great showers, nice breakfast, good ambience, etc.

Two days we experience troubles with the WiFi, instead of offer any compensation, they just were sorry. The room smell so bad and the first time we didn’t have toilet paper. I pay a little bit more because I thought this hostel will be better, but it was worst than others. Even though they have a Metro station 1 minute away, all the touristic places of Paris are far away from the hotel.
Nothing, it was an awful experience

No Kitchen!!!!! no outside food allowed. No eggs in breakfast. The location can be a bit tricky for the first time traveller. Probably not very safe if you want to travel very late like post 10/11 pm.
easy to find, right by the subway. place to meet interesting people. nice vibe with young people. table tennis, the porch sitting of the restaurant.

No kitchen. Noisy Friday and Saturday nights: even at the 5th floor no one can hear the parties at the bar.
Good location (20 min by metro or 40 min walk to the city centre). Extra bathrooms at each floor are very helpful. Hangers, shelves at the shower and on the bed. Laundry room (3-4 euros + your detergent) and ironing board (free). Hair dryer only in the room. Lockers (4 euros for small locker for 6 hours). Remember to bring your own towel and a small drawer lock, if you don't want to rent it.

Location good for metro use so close. Been there lots of times. Good set up in the services used. The building is looking a bit rugged. This can make it look less clean. I did exercises very early in the hall outside the room not to disturb other guests. The hall carpet could do with a deep clean, not just a run over with a hoover. Overall it is a great place that suits my Paris visit to see my son. A place to sleep and put my luggage in. Recommend it.
The location and the breakfasts. Enjoyed the breakfasts. I am particular in what I eat training. Whole grain cereal, natural yougart etc. Breakfast range suits all.
