The Generator is a bare bones place to stay in a great location. An easy walk to everything! Pretty basic accommodation but perfectly clean.

Stayed in a 6-bed private room - fantastic price and amazing location! Beds and pillows were comfy. Great activites in the hostel.
Downsides were the 1. noise of the nightclub that takes place on a Friday night, it went on until 3am I think
2. The bathroom sink is in the middle of the room and not in the toilet, just makes it loud when you wash your hands in the middle of the night
Overall a great stay and I would recommend it and return here!

This hostel had a nice vibe
We booked a private room with washroom and room was nice comfortable clean and great value for money
They also have cycles for rent which was so convinient for us to roam the city
Doesn’t have dinner options but breakfast is available at property and staff was very helpful and good

Appreciate this was a budget stay but I still expect the room to be clean, which it really wasn’t. The bed was covered in hair and the floor felt really dirty under foot.
Would suit backpackers / students more so than families / couples

We were visiting as a family of four, woth two young ish kids 6 and 9. We had a family room with bunk bed. Having separate shower and toilet was good with the sink in the room. The dining options were good and loved the games tbere. The breakfast was a little limited and the cooked breakfast was sadly not available,due to Oil needing changed in tbe kitchen?!
Overall a great experience and tbe staff was friendly. Sadly the light in the showroom wouldn't turn off and was on all night, whi h wasn't great for both nights we were there. This was highlighted to the team, but maintenence had been unable to fix it.
Convinent and a good price

The Generator København, is in a good location where you can reach, each Tourist spot in the City. It is also too far from the metro station

Our room was smaller than expected, bathroom sink and shower wasn’t draining properly. Customers have to pay for their luggage to be stored is greedy!
Bright note, the staff was friendly and it was in good walking radius of everything.

Terrible experience, definitely not a great place for families, no towels in the room, beds were uncomfortable. Bathroom smelled like piss. This is for sure more of a backpacking trip hostel for college kids.

We had a 14-hour overnight layover and didnt want to sleep at the airport. The hotels by the airport are insanely expensive but the trains run 24/7, so we decided to try this place out. It's quirky and has wonderful artwork/murals all around. It's so centrally located that we were able to absorb a LOT of the local flavor during just a 2 hour morning walk. Will definitely go back there and spend more time.

It was okay, not very clean hotel. We got a room just above the bar and it was very loud, so we went to ask for a different room and the staff was amazing, we got an upgrade to a family room on the 6th floor.

Basic hostel hotel but central location.
Good:
Welcoming staff.
Central location to the city attractions with transport close by if needed.
Very quiet location - slept very well.
Clean room.
Great shower with instant warm water.
Plugs by bed
Not so good:
Bed creaky.
Bed sheet did not fit bed well and kept rolling up leaving the mattress exposed (mattress is plastic so doesn't feel good to sleep on when sheet has moved!)
Corridors could do with better signs to lift (walked past the door to the lift several times before I found it!)

The property was great for us as a family. We were busy all day and just needed somewhere to rest our heads and feet from all the walking we did. It would have been nice to have towels provided and being British, we’d have loved a kettle for making our own hot drinks. It was clean and warm, the shower was lovely and powerful, and the staff were accommodating. We were early for check in but they kindly offered us a different room which was ready. They warned that being directly above the bar it maybe noisy, especially as we were staying over the weekend, but it was not a problem for us at all.
