United KingdomGenerator Dublin was absolutely fantastic for myself and 3 friends traveling to Dublin from our respective study abroad sites. The family style room gave us all our own space without feeling totally crunched at a super reasonable price (compared to getting a bed in an 8 bed room in a more traditional hostel). The restaurant and bar in Generator itself had a fun vibe and and great drinks. I will absolutely stay in another generator hotel if I visit another city that has one.
FranceThe staff is cheerful, helpful and quite a sweet talker. Location is great. Near to the place we want to visit. But at night, it could be quite scary...
EgyptWashrooms in dorm were very clean. Bunk beds had 2 charging points and reading lights. Lockers available too. Very lively pub downstairs. Plays live music on few days of the week. Security wise very good as well.
IrelandEverything! It was perfect! And I couldn’t believe how affordable it was, especially for how great of a property it is! I stayed two nights, but the second night was a separate reservation, so I’ll just reiterate what I said in my first review. The staff is top notch, housekeepers (work their butt off), security at the door, the bartenders and servers in the cafe/bar, and especially the front desk - Danielle was particularly lovely. With all of this, it sure set a high bar for the rest of my journey around Ireland! 10/10 highly recommend!!!
United States of AmericaEverything. Very clean. Lots to do. Good facilities. Nice location. Quiet area, but close to much. Danielle at the front desk is such a lovely person! She was so helpful, kind & caring! Definitely an amazing first impression of Ireland.
United States of AmericaIt's good for solo travels. About 20 min walking to the city center.
IsraelStaff and bar was nice good location right next to the jamason distillery
GermanyExcellent place to stay! Value for money at its best.
United KingdomIt is really close to most of the attractions all in walking distance but there is also a tramway stop near. Staff was really helpful and place was really clean.
