The noises

Meeting new friends - the staff

Stayed in October 2023

The lack of hostel run social events. There wasn’t really anything happening to help solo travellers meet each other. The place could benefit from quiz nights, or a hostel run walking tour, or a hostel run pub crawl, etc. Also the bunks had a tendency to crash into each other when someone rolled over in the top bunk and since they’re metal it made a loud clanging noise that jerks you awake in the middle of the night. A little more space between the ends of the bunks, or some foam padding between then might help. Curtains on the beds would also be nice.

There wasn’t anything remarkable about this hostel. The laundry facilities on site were convenient. I also liked that there was the option to pay for late checkout.

The rooms left a little to be desired. There are no towels or soap and not all of the beds in the room have sheets, only a comforter. The mattresses are about what you expect at a hostel, they feel a bit like dorm room mattresses. This is fine for a short stay but might get uncomfortable for a longer duration.

The best part about Generator is the location, it is right in the heart of the city with lots to see and do nearby. The restaurant / bar area is a nice addition and the check-in desk was very helpful. This is a great place to stay if you are young and relatively new to traveling or if you are looking for a great value to stay in the city.

Toilet in the room was a nice plus if you need to go during the night, but if you need to shower just use the 2nd floor showers

Beds were confortable and the lock boxes under the beds were very nice as well. Room was very clean.

It was extremely warm in the room even with a fan in the room.

The place is pretty good! It is a traveler friendly please, nice boutique hostel, the premises were always being cleaned up by the staff, big bathrooms with enough showers for all people and they have nice soap/ shampoo. Nice places to eat breakfast near by Location is good no in the center but 18 minutes walk from Temple bar Just around the corner is the Jameson destilar Tram 2 stops to the main train station. The most efficient Check in and checkout ever!

Bathrooms and showers need to be cleaned better / more often. A lot of dust in the room.

Excellent service at the reception, very professional and friendly! A very good location, close to the public transport and airport express station.

Toilets and showers on a different floor

Nice location, fun atmosphere

The bathrooms were disgusting—hair and grime all over the shower floors in every stall, the shower curtains were all stained, the toilets constantly clogged. Maybe this was due to the high volume of guests, but staffing should account for this. Additionally, the beds, though comfortable, did not have any curtains to block out light, which made it easy to disturb or be disturbed by dorm mates and the lights in each of the beds totally unusable if you wanted to be courteous.

The location was great, and the public spaces were nice for the rugby match they were showing. Lots of diversity in terms of where guests were coming from, and a generally young demographic made it appear to be a great setting for socializing and meeting new people.

Toilet doesn't flush well, have to crank handle 7 times and sink plugged. Need maintenance to better manage. Shower moldy. Could do better cleaning considering they don't provide any soap, nothing.

Comfy bed and clean linens. Convenient health food shops.

Very expensive!, extra payment needed for towels and another extra payment for baggage storage!

Nice room (shared 4 bed dorm), very clean. Close to transport and can walk to many attractions.

To improve privacy, they could add curtains to the beds. The bathroom could have been cleaner.

The room was clean and I liked that each bed has its own drawer underneath the bed, a personal light and a socket. The staff was helpful and friendly. I didn´t try the breakfast, but past by to fill up my waterbottle and it looked very nice.

The location

Stayed in October 2023

In room 222 there’s only 1 window and was a really ugly smell

Good lobby and bar, the food was ok

Did not like EDM pulsing all the time in public spaces. Silence is better than that IMHO. Also--the front desk staff gave me poor directions to a nearby parking garage. Once I found it it was clear that directions could have been simple and clear. I suspect the desk person was not a driver. Small printed maps, or a map laminated to the front desk, would have made things clearer and reduced stress.

Nice facilities, pleasantly appointed public spaces.

I knew Dublin was generally quite expensive but I was still a little surprised by the price of 73 ,- euros per night given I stayed in a mixed dorm room. I missed a curtain for the bed and some pegs to hang up my coat in the room and in the bathroom.

I liked the location and modern feel to the place.

Kids screaming and running in the hallway. It’s just happened that a big group of high schoolers were staying at the same time with us.

Stayed in September 2023

The beds, dorms, shower,etc are okay-ish but not particularly new or nice. It is quite an expensive stay for such an average hostel.

The location is very good, a short walk from most of the things to do in Dublin.

Good location

I was very disappointed to find out there is a charge for left luggage, even a small backpack, considering the price paid for a bunk bed

Stayed in September 2023

Don't have kitchen to make food, common room, toilets and showers in different floor, so far

Staff avaliable, safe, near center town and good wifi

The rooms were extreme bare necesseties. Very small, a side table would be nice or a countertop in the bathroom would be nice. There is nowhere to even rest a toothbrush. There was a crowded group of kids in the room next door being extremely loud until 2-3am.

Breakfast, check in and out, the location was great, and the common areas were very nice. Staff was super helpful!
