Last minutes resort”
Was not my first choice. Unfortunately my initial booked accommodation cancelled two days prior. In rush to find one affordable on new year eve and in King Cross area. Stayed in 8 mixed dorm. There are CCTV at a lot of places, but many exit door weren't locked. So any one can sneak in and stay for the night outside the dorms, inside the premises. There were drawers under bunk bed for each bed holder, just that you need to have your own lock. Alternative, buy a combination lock from reception. Tooth brush, toothpaste , towel etc are available for purchase or hire. It is convenience, not cost effective if you on tight budget. Lockers fees £8 for 24hrs. Again it is convenience, not cost effective. All you can eat breakfast £7 pay when you check in. I think its cheap. I had bar food - Buffalo wings £8 for dinner. I think it was tasty.

Great Hostel in a Perfect Location”
Kind hostel mates, friendly staff, decent bar, perfect location. This hostel was an excellent basecamp for my solo trip to London. Beds were comfortable, furnishings were modern (two USBs and an LED light in-bunk!), and the bar was a great place to relax and catch up with new friends. If I return as a solo traveller, I will consider giving Generator my business once again. Do not hesitate to book your stay here.

Every thing is good!”
Nothing to say, nice to stay, hanging out with other new friends in the bar under the hostel. The only thing that I regret I’ve met beautiful swedish girl and didn’t ask her contract. To sum up, if you are now reading this comment, scrolling up and making a booking trust me. Ps. This is not sponsor review hahaaa based on real experience in a 4-bed dormitory.

Dear, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. 😀 Glad to hear you had a great time with us, we hope to see you again soon! 🍻 And good luck in meet the Swedish girl again hehe Kind regards, Generator Team
Great experience 👍”
The staffs were friendly and i like the location as it is just couple of minutes away from Russell Square and King’s Cross stations. The neighbourhood was quiet and has cafes and shops nearby. I like that there was an in-house bar. I stayed at 5th flr so didn’t experience the noise from the bar hehe - The room was okay, it was clean but super small space. We were 4 in the room and can’t open 2 luggages at the same time, one of my roommates had to bring her luggage out the hallway. Shower area should have been better if had bigger space as well

Hi Mara Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us Glad you’re as happy with our location as we are – we always make sure that we’re in the right place at the right time. Really nice to see that you liked the Generator London's atmosphere. We are proud of it, and we love seeing our guests enjoying it! Generator London is a very old building that was originally a police training barracks. Unfortunately with it being a listed building, the opportunity for us to change the shape and size of the rooms is not there. We have arranged the rooms in the best possible way to accommodate our guests comfortably and safely and I am sorry you feel we haven’t achieved that. We hope to have you back again soon Kind Regards Emma-Generator London
Stay again”
Staying there more than 3(three) days was pretty amazing experience. At the center of London, that less than 10mins walked to King's and Rusell Square Metro. The hostel also pretty near to Brunswick Center, where I can find GBK, Yo! Sushi, and Nando's. The room also checked and cleaned every morning at 10. as well as the bathroom.. but at the wrong time (about 7 to 10am). That's my bath-time, that caused me to find other bathroom (other floor). Other than the bathroom things, I am sure will be stay again at GH London.
