Wonderful hostel. Clean, friendly, cheap for Copenhagen, and good vibes all around. The biggest perk is the location. Very walkable to any area you could want to go or the metro/buses. Absolutely would recommend.

We flew for more than 10 hours and finally arrived in this hotel. We were given the room with two bunk beds. I remember I reserved and paid for one full bed and one bunk bed. Since there is no phone in the room, we have to go back to the front desk to ask about the reason. They found out that in Expedia it was reserved as one full bed and one bunk bed. However, it was showed in their system that only two bunk beds room was reserved. They guess there must be glitch between the two systems, which the hotel and Expedia need to solve. Unfortunately, there is no room with full bed available that day. So we agree to keep the current room. Hotel is good to give us two days breakfast and some shampoo, conditioner as compensation. At least, it makes us feel better after long flight. However, we still hope Expedia can follow up on this issue. It did bring inconvenience for us.

Great location and the room was quite clean! The website says AC but it was boiling hot and no air conditioning which was disappointing.

Excellent choice for central Copenhagen. Stayed in a private ensuite room for 2 and while maybe not quite at the level of a good hotel everything was perfectly acceptable

Not for me

The staff were all quite helpful and friendly. The location is great and there is a bar on site. I was placed in a room with 5 existing clients (both M and F) - and that room was filthy. The bathroom smelled like urine (causing the entire room to smell) and the general dirty condition/untidiness was off-putting. I realize the facility can’t really control the condition of the rooms, but the experience would keep me from returning.

This place is usually great. Staff, location, clean. There was construction going on all night long this time around n made it hard to sleep. This does not reflect on Generator at all, but an honest review for the date.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) I stayed at Generator Hostel last night and had a very mixed experience. Pros: • The staff is absolutely excellent—friendly, helpful, and professional. Full marks to the front desk and service team. • The common areas like the bar and lounge are well-designed and welcoming. • Lockers are convenient and provide a sense of security. Cons: • Dormitory experience was disappointing. Guests were drying their clothes on their beds, which made the room feel messy and unhygienic. • Poor ventilation in the rooms—windows are kept closed due to cold weather, making it stuffy and difficult to breathe, especially for someone with asthma. • Beds are extremely close to each other, leaving almost no personal space. The cramped setup adds to the discomfort. • A lot of snoring and noise makes it hard to sleep in shared rooms. • Bathrooms and toilets are located inside the dorms, which means eight people sharing one small space creates lingering smells and general discomfort. • Elevators are noisy and feel a bit unstable, which doesn’t inspire confidence. Overall: While the staff and common areas are great, the actual sleeping and hygiene conditions in the dorms need serious improvement. Not recommended for anyone sensitive to air quality, noise, or looking for a restful stay.

It is hostel, not a Hotel. Guests are from all ages and groups from families to gropus in their mid 20s. Lots of games in place for families with teenagers and above, lovely young atmosphere. With inside bar and music, and sport tv until late. Only one lift for 6 floors, you wait long time to reach the 6th floor, i used the stairs mainly. In the room, the shower , sink and toilet seat are in one single small space with a curtain to contain the shower water, the floor gets all wet, you need to use toilet roll to dry the floor or the hand swiper... the bed is very comfortable and spacious. Room has window to the street and was noisy, but after a while it was quiet. The TV didn't get any channel, it was reported to reception but they didn't so anything to resolve the issue. Excellent location with walking distance to everywhere. Many bars and restaurants around the area. A few stag and hen parties during the weekend that make it a bit loud over the night. It was a good stay, the builting a bit dated, but over all ok for one or two nights...
