We enjoyed our stay here everything was great, location, room and staff.
We had an issue with shower when we first arrived and reported to reception straight away and the maintenance person was there within 10minutes sorting the problem!
Only thing I would say as we were in a twin room could've done with somewhere to put clothing whilst we were on our stay.
Really nice and affordable place to stay. Really really warm inside! I had been in Europe for over a week at that point and it was the first time I actually felt warmed up!
I stayed for 2 nights at the Generator Berlin Mitte and it was lovely. The staff were really friendly and shared great recommendations. Would recommend for anyone visiting Berlin.
The hostel itself (room, check-in etc) was excellent.
However, the courtyard that our room, and many others, faced down onto played very loud music from around 7:00 each morning which resulted in two terrible sleeps.
Cool place to stay in Berlin-Mitte. I stayed in a POD, individual bed-cabin with shared bathroom. It was completely ok. Safe and very silent. They have lockers available at the room after your checkin and lockers to rent in case of needing a place to leave luggages before ckin. Friendly staff. Affordable price on having a more privacy.
1-2 min walking from Oranienburger station
7-8 min walking from Friedrichstraße
5-6 min walking from Museumsinsel
10-12 min walking from Fernsehturm-Alexanderplatz
15-20 min walking from Brandenburger Tor
30-35 min by train to Brandenburg Airport
Very nice room with big windows looking over trees.
But the furniture in the room was very uncomfortable. Overall I had a good experience, things were clean, staff friendly, breakfast tasty.
This is a great hostel in Berlin, everything is very new & trendy. The rooms are great and have a seperate shower and toilet. The bar downstairs is great to meet new friends, very social area. The only thing is that I think the lockers in the room need improving, the door on mine was broken but other than that all great.
