Yasmine Dannawy, British (12 December 10)

I enjoyed staying at the hostel and so did my student group. The food that was available was excellent and the atmosphere welcoming. I was not happy with the smoking in the toilets and the level of noise some evenings but with 600 people in the hostel that is to be expected! The availability of breakfast, internet, pool tables and TV was excellent and so very central

Tiina Tuliola, Finnish (18 October 10)

The four bed dormitory room was very small and the hostel felt cold and very noisy as it had no soft furnishings to reduce sounds. The WIFI connection didn't work properly. No kitchen to prepare own meals. The staff were excellent and the meals prepared by the chef were delicious. The toilet and shower facilities were good and the hostel is in an excellent location

Took my two girls to London for a three day visit and found the Generator to be very welcoming, clean and convenient for getting around. Would use again and will recommend.
