The biggest plus of the hostel are its employees. I very positively evaluate their approach, especially at the reception. The biggest disappointment is that the hostel does not have a kitchen. There is also little space for working with a laptop. Some plugs do not work at all, e.g. on the stage above the bar and there are few of them. I was also surprised that you can't actually eat food in the room at the entrance to the hostel. The beds and rooms were generally clean, but there was trash behind the beds and the threshold. Wifi worked without problems. Breakfast was tasty but extremely expensive. It should be half cheaper for hostel guests...otherwise people will go elsewhere for breakfast where it's cheaper. I was also surprised to charge high prices for billiards, table football, etc. Overall, the level of the hostel has dropped as before the pandemic.

The beds would be nice to have a curtain for some privacy, as well as a free towel.

Beautiful hostel and amazing staff, the boys in reception are lovely! the location is fantastic.

I didn’t like that the toilets and the bathrooms was on the second floor and my room was on the first floor. The bathrooms are very old and some of them were broken. The bathroom area needs ASAP renovation not only on the second floor but on basement as well.

The staff was very friendly, the location of the hostel was very nice and there were a lot of food options near. You can also use hostel’s key to get a 10% discount at Jameson Distillery.

Bathroom only on one floor Had to try 3 toilet stalls to find one that locks properly

Nice room (single dorm)

Treatment and location

The toilets where for the whole floor. I calculated aprox one toilet for ten people (I'm not sure for the number though). It's also irritating that you have to walk outside the room in order to get there. Also I found them clean only once in two days that I stayed...

Very nice lounge bar. The beds where clean.

Clean sheets but grubby duvets inside which slipped out during night as no buttons to hold in when I seen it felt sick. Dust and dirt gathered in corners of room, it wasn’t clean. Bathroom grout on tiles in shower was unpleasant looking. Left something in room could not get through on number from website and when I did staff were rude and unhelpful wasn’t through to hotel but another centre taking bookings. was promised callback but did not happen, very poor customer service.

Enjoyed our trip, location was ok and hand soap in room.

I liked how central it was to everything and they had an indoor bar and restaurant so you could have a few drinks before hitting the town

As an hostel, it's hard to keep very clean and the noisy goes until late. I found necessary add a calm place where people can do their things (work, computers..) relaxed. Which is not available right now.

Amazing vibe and environment. The place is vibrant, very well surrounded, and has a perfect location. In my opinion, it's the best choice for a couple of days in Dublin if you're looking for a place to enjoy, share and keep partying.

For the beds only 1 of 4 liked how firm the mattress was. The Pillows were the worst. We really would have loved to have better ones. The Shower was starting to get mold on the corners.

WE loved the bunk bed set up and they were very sturdy. That we could have a privet room with bathroom was great. the shower had great water presser and temp.

Toilet rather crowded and not in so good/clean condition all the time.

Good location and comfortable room. Easy check-in and helpful staff.

I'd love some thicker curtains in the room to block out the light, as there are very large lights in Smithfield Square that shine right into the room. For a hostel, Generator Dublin was also very expensive at about 75 euros per night - but still slightly cheaper than lower-scale hotels in the area.

I love Generator hostels! This was a comfortable, funky hostel in a fabulous location with a very impressive bar at the bottom. Beds were comfy, I appreciated the individual reading light on each bed and the easy access to power points. Bathroom was clean and the cat mural in my room was super cute.

Generator is a well known hostel chain, and has high standards. This is why I was surprised and a bit disappointed from the guest-experience that I had there. Stayed 7 nights in a 4 beds room (2 bunk beds). I must mention I'm in my 40's so I'm not a youth (but Generator is not a youth hostel). The room itself is very small. Packed with 4 ppl and all their suitcases and baggage - makes it quite uncomfortable for staying. Other details such as: the tiny sink, the shortage of hangers and the "smart" but not verry efficient system of the storage drawer, under the bunk: also contribute to the general inconvenience On the other hand: the mattress is comfortable, so as the pillow and the blanket. The room is being cleaned every day. Also: the pub, the live shows and the lobby with the sits in it - are indeed Cool. Breakfast is also fine (for 10 Euros, by the way). The location of the Hostel is great, in a new developed area, very close to the bus station to / from Airport and with walking distance to all Dublin's attractions.

A little bit expensive for what it is with extra charges for anything while staying. Need to pay for ping pong, board games, tower visit (even if lift is not working)

Very nice location, clean rooms and nice facilities

They don't have a kitchen area

The last night of my stay the other guests were noisy and it was a shame because otherwise it had been a good stay. I found the prices at the bar too expensive. And it could've been clearer on the website that you have to bring your own lock for the lockers in the room (cages under the beds). €6,5 is to expensive for a cheap lock but you're left with little alternative if you arrive late and the shops are closed. I felt that is taking advantage of us.

It was easy to check in and out. It was a nice gesture to give guests a goodie envelope for St Patrick's including a free ticket up the tower.
