Hostel needs an upgrade! (But overall not the worst)

The bed is comfortable, the room is warm, I like that there are female only rooms. Laundry and other essentials available onsite.

This was my second stay within a short amount of time, I was dissapointed again with the cleanliness and noise. I understand it’s a large hostel and a party hostel but people are also there to sleep and I think there needs to be more monitoring and respect around that, there were people next door constantly knocking and slamming the doors and people running through the hallways, there seems to be lots of young groups who don’t know how to act in a shared space. The bathrooms need an upgrade they are old and don’t work properly are not suitable for sharing, there’s no where to put your toiletries, there is lots of mould and grime, the toilet flush didn’t work properly, water gets all over the ground and there is no shower mat, there is also zero soundproofing for the bathroom which isn’t great when people are going to bed late or waking up early. I think the standard of the hostel needs to be revisited especially as it’s not a dirt cheap hostel, and has potential. I think a lot of it comes down to lack of care because it’s a hostel and it would be nice if there was more care because hostels can be a good experience and most people still want a clean and comfortable space. Also why have doors the naturally slam and are impossible to be quiet in a building without soundproofing?

Ubytování Dublin

Skvělý personál, perfektní lokalita ve středu Dublinu, dobrá cena. Určitě bych se ubytoval znovu. Moznost vyžití - kulecnik, disko, restaurace. Great staff, perfect location in central Dublin, good value. I would definitely stay again. Possibility of use - pool hall, disco, restaurant.

Vše v pořádku. It's OK.

the people and the location

being told that we had to leave an area of relaxation at 10pm. This is not good practice to your customers old and young.

Excellent price at the heart of Dublin

Clean rooms and toilets. Staff are nice and friendly. The pub at the ground floor.

The pillows are thin and can cause neck pain. The barrooms are flooding sometimes and water clogs.

Exceptional value for money!

Exceptional value. Facilities were good. 6 ppl dorm, adequate bed & very clean bedding/pillow. Bedside phone chargers & lights were handy. Showers/bathroons were great. Very impressive large communal area with live music, bar, games etc. Staff very friendly n helpful. I didnt utilise them but there were laundry rooms. Bustling Dublin City Centre is only a short (15-30 mins) walk away. Didnt have the breakfast (€10) but it looked good.

I'm 6'2", so beds could've been more spacious. Also advisable to bring your own towel & lock for bedside locker. I forgot earplugs so had some trouble sleeping due to loud live music downstairs & snoring in the dorm.

Great staff, vibe and location!

Great location, very modern with lots of facilities. The staff is super nice and the bar/cafe is very cool!

It would be nice if the beds in the dormitory had curtains, that way you don’t have to disturb everyone by turning on the lights or stumble around in the dark with your phone, just a tip!

Cheap but you get what you pay

The room was clean and quiet. I had a 4 bedroom dorm which was mostly me for the most time. I didn't need to bother anyone. Perfect for me. Check in was smooth and there is always someone at the reception. Always helpful people around

The bathroom was not super clean. Shower was dirty and looked not well maintained. Bring some locks, because the locks to lock your valuables are 6.50€ (2023).

Everything at this place is great. MINUS the room. Old, Outdated, and Dirty.

The location and staff are amazing!

However the room was horrible, probably the worst I have ever been in my life. Thank God I stayed here for one night and wasn't here much time. The lighting was so dim and disappointing. There is no natural lighting. The bathroom tile was dirty and musty.

Great location and social spaces, but basic amenities lacking.

The location was great, and the public spaces were nice for the rugby match they were showing. Lots of diversity in terms of where guests were coming from, and a generally young demographic made it appear to be a great setting for socializing and meeting new people.

The bathrooms were disgusting—hair and grime all over the shower floors in every stall, the shower curtains were all stained, the toilets constantly clogged. Maybe this was due to the high volume of guests, but staffing should account for this. Additionally, the beds, though comfortable, did not have any curtains to block out light, which made it easy to disturb or be disturbed by dorm mates and the lights in each of the beds totally unusable if you wanted to be courteous.

Super friendly but dorm facilities need fixing

The friendliness of the staff

The toilet was not really flushing in the dorm. The system for opening and closing the locker lid was broken, I got my thumb badly smashed under it (quite dangerous).

During my stay i did not find any difference even though i stayed peacefully. No difference i found from my country.

This has a their own bar to just relax and watch football match on the Television.

The staff at the reception was not helpful. They are there just to take money from the guests who are there to stay.

Adequate, but eminently forgetable.

The place is professionaly and efficiently run. Well signposted, easy to find.

No information on WiFi. No access to kitchen or even fridge. Room was unpleasantly warm. Overall the hostel sems entirely self-contained, not part of a neighbourhood in any meanibful way. You could stay for a week and never know there was a city outside.

Enjoyable, clean and safe hostel stay.

Layout and size of common areas was impressive, ease of accessing common areas was good as was availability of power/charging stations in and around each of the spaces. I liked the varied, multiple spaces/options within the venue for people to either sit quiet, converse, work with their electronics or entertain with multiple game options. The attention to cleanliness throughout the hostel was brilliant too.

Bring back the good old days of Generator!

Location, location, location. Close to city centre and train station. Also on Luas tram line. Staff were super friendly and helpful, as usual.

I've been staying here quite often over many years and, sad to say, it's deteriorated a lot over that time. It's now quite a tired-looking establishment, lacking in tlc and almost completely lacking in proper air conditioning. Room was incredibly stuffy, even with the window wide open. Most lights were left on by other occupants during the night, with street noise intolerable late into the night. No hooks on shower/toilet door. The main reason i still stay here is for the price, which is not overly cheap by hostel standards. The cost of staying in a city hotel is totally prohibitive so i don't have much of a choice. It gives me no pleasure to sound so negative about Generator but facts are facts, i'm afraid.

Generators are the best option!

I always chose Generator hostels when I'm visiting a city. I like the consistency of quality: comfy beds, linens provided, good water pressure, speedy wifi, lively atmosphere at the bars and affordable buffet breakfast for only €10!!

Temperature, the rooms can be stuffy in the summer.
