Generator Amsterdam

Staff helpful and food/drink very good !

Everything is perfect except the roommates. But staff isnt responsible if the roommates are noisy or lack awareness of other people

Expensive but has what you need, nice view if you get the better rooms not much negative I can other than not good tap water

The room and the property in general were of a high standard as hostels go. It's also in a beautiful setting, adjoining a very nice park with a pond. Staff were friendly and eager to please...., but weren't always able to, given the commercial set-up of the place. It was a bit like when you book a budget airline to save money, and then the add-on charges for luggage, etc, end up deleting any price advantage you'd hoped for. I was early at check-in, arriving at 11:00am, due to the timing of my transport to Amsterdam, and the eager staff member said that my room wasn't ready, but to come back and see her in an hour, but when I returned, she referred me to another staff member who said the room still wasn't ready but she informed housekeeping who said they would prioritise it...., but when I checked in another hour, nothing had changed, so I ended up waiting until the standard 2:00pm, anyway. They were happy to store my luggage, of course...., for EUR3.50 per hour, and they were able to provide a towel for my stay for EUR 7.00 . Basically, everything, including food and indeed the price of the room, were mid-range hotel prices...., but it's a hostel. Otherwise, all things considered, it was comfortable, clean, and convenient.
