Lock in a great price for Generator Dublin – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Front desk staff were great and always friendly. Bar/ food staff were helpful and attentive. WiFi was strong and reliable. Location was ideal: close enough to everything but not so close to be loud.

Erik, United States of America

Location, friendly and helpful staff, room, cleanliness, en-suite bathroom & shower facilities, all good.

James, Ireland

Everything nice staff nice comfy beds, just good all around!

Killian, United Kingdom

Big and clean bathroom, nice bar, comfortable and private bed.

Mariana, Brazil

Loved the location, staff, and food at this hostel! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay at while in Ireland. There’s a lot of food choices around the hostel, a hospital, a food market, and a pharmacy (which helped a lot since I got sick on this trip)! We had a private room with 4 beds and it was small but cozy. The bathroom was small as well but we got by! The temperature in the room was cold and hot randomly. The trash was taken every other day or maybe not.

Nisha, United States of America

I like the hostel, from the outside and inside. Bed was comfy enough, lockers have enough space. Personell is very kind and professional. Its always better to bring your own lock for the locker. Showers and toilets were also really good. The food at the hostel was delicious. The location is the best you could wish for. I recommend the panoramatic view from the Generator Hostel Tower.

Dusan, Slovakia

Warm welcome, easy to deal with, amazing bar/restaurant!

Dean, Ireland

The beds were really good! Nice and very helpful staff

Kim, Ireland
