The staff is excellent and the reason why the stay is easy, relaxing and completely worry free. Girls at the reception are wonderful.

Sinisa Croatia

Very friendly staff. Really cool space and facilities. The location is amazing, it is close enough to the city center but also has a huge park right next to it. Breakfast not included but it's a fair price and was nice.

André Portugal

AMAZING location, space, and food! Service is great, and they have every amenity I needed during my stay. I will be returning for sure.

Andrea Mexico

The location was good. The view to the park was awesome. The people is really nice and helpful. Food is good and affordable. The room was big and clean. Overall the hotel has style and is super cool for young travelers like us.

Tschännes Germany

That's my first stay in Amsterdam. The hostel was good. - The room was clean and it has its own private shower and toilet. - The control system over different areas with access cards makes me feel more safe for my luggages. - Staff was friendly - Cozy restaurants downstairs. - Nice park in front of the hostel where you can enjoy sun and nice walk. Thank you Generator Amsterdam for your hospitality!

Peter Germany

The staff was incredibly friendly helpful and welcoming.

Jennifer United States of America

The location couldn't be more beautiful: in the middle of a park and walking distance of many points of interest like the botanical gardens, several museums and a zoo.

Zoë Netherlands

Wonderful location, helpful staff, precautions taken for covid. We had a private room and it was simple, modern, and comfortable - a great value and much nicer than most hostels and many hotels.

Ina Netherlands

Spacious room. Perfect central location. Quite and clean.
