United KingdomStaff - really helpful and kind, always there to help out if needed Facilities - clean Room was great and very quiet and could get enough rest and sleep
United KingdomI love the facilities, staff, and the vibe of the Generators in Europe especially the one in London. It’s always welcoming and friendly. I stayed here last year on a topdeck trip! This year I moved to England. I was in quarantine for two weeks however was desperate to do another stay at the generator so I booked two nights here too!
AustraliaNice and clean place. Great value of money and the pets are welcome for free as long as you book a private room! Easy access to most of tourist places and quite few places near to eat at.
United KingdomLocation near to Euston station Kings cross st Mancras and Russell square right in the city centre but quite cheap price with large quiet room, check in process is quite simple, great choice for traveller!
United KingdomGreat location, lovely staff, clean and cozy, perfect for a couple nights. The interiors are freshly renovated. Close to Kings Cross so perfect if you are arriving/leaving from there. They have a luggage storage room as well. And a TARDIS in the backyard!
Czech RepublicIn relationship with the price is worth, the bed was comfortable, and the location its good, really near from Kings Croos and you can find some pubs and restaurants around
ColombiaThe location is perfect, near Russel Square tube station. The accommodation has a lift so we do not need to worry about suitcases. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The price is acceptable.
VietnamVery friendly staff and kind as well. Facilities are clean, the rooms - depends on what kind of roommates you have, not the management fault. Definitely coming back again.
North MacedoniaI left earlier than the breakfast time. Staff always made hot coffee if I asked in the mornings for my flask and also got hot water for my porridge pot. Brilliant service.
