Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are small but very adequate. There is a gap under the door that lets light in. The lights that are controlled by the switch by the door are minimal. Making it a little tricky to navigate. The bed is on the soft side, and you will sink in the longer you lie there. It isn't too loud considering it is in a city. The curtains do block out the light well. There was an incident one night where my neighbor got evicted at 11 pm. Management never said anything to me. It was unnerving to have the police there. The peephole is also very high up in the door.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It was clean, spacious, close to transportation, had a good laundry room and good dining facilities. I loved that the bathroom and toilet were within the four bunk unit. The units were cleaned daily. The senior front desk staff were particularly helpful. The omission of a bathroom fan meant that the bathroom depended on central air to dry off. I think this could lead to retention of the chemicals in the cleaning sprays used in the bathroom. I found myself sneezing a lot in that environment once warm air was circulating. My one pet peeve was the way towels were handled at the front desk. To me, towels should always be handled with the utmost care, following proper sanitation protocols, as these come into intimate contact with a person’s body. Proper protocols from the laundry room to being handed to the guest. I do realize the handling of these items are not of the highest standard in other hostels as well - laid out in the open by the front desk, laid on receptionist countertops and notebooks like a car wash rag. Hostels need to do better in this regard generally.

Terrible experience — would never stay here again. I stayed at Generator for 3 nights and not ONCE did they clean my room. I put the “please clean my room” sign on the door and left early every morning around 8:00–8:30am, and nobody bothered to come. My room stayed dirty the entire stay. Also, the water in the showers for the last TWO days was cold. This is not a cheap hostel where you expect zero service — this is supposed to be a hotel. I’ve stayed in dozens of places all over the world and I’ve never had a place ignore cleaning requests like this. And when I complained, they didn’t offer any compensation or anything at all. Zero accountability. They clearly don’t take cleaning seriously and they don’t care about customer experience. Absolutely do NOT recommend. I regret staying here.

I only spent about 10 hours at the hotel so my opinion is not one to used to ultimately dictate where you stay. The place was nice. It had much needed personality unlike others. It looked like they cleaned up and personified another existing chain hotel. It’s offers plenty of options as far as places stay. I’m a huge fan of this. Although I won’t use dormitory accommodations, it’s perfect for students visiting the area. On top of this, the classic choices are available. I would recommend trying it out but like I said, my experience is limited. The hotel had a cool coffee bar and a cute restaurant and a bar inside. I didn’t visit either but would have been worth so if so we’re staying longer.
