Exceeded expectations. Really comfy and cosy room in a greta location for a great price and in a great location. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!!!!

4/10 Fair

By far the least clean hostel I've stayed in. Floors in the roomwere not fully swept or mopped daily. carpet in hallway not vaccumed and you could visibly see things on the carpet that needed vaccummed . Our bathroom was an accessible room with toilet and shower, everything would get wet and be slippery/unsafe. The door to the bathroom would lock you out and we had to keep getting housekeeping to unlock it. the additional bathroom and showers on floor 3 were closed because the lights weren't working. I tried the additional bathrooms on floor 2 and 4 and they were also closed, staff told us to go up to floor 5. I was in a mixed dorm and had no where to change and would go to the basement to use the bathroom. .
Ashley, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

It was okay. For the price I think they should provide a towel and a lock or at least have free locker storage, but you had to pay for everything. I also didn’t like the storage under the beds, you have to get on your hands and knees every time and it took up way too much space. Cleanliness was okay, but they never clean in between. Kinda depends on your roommates. I also wish the bar was open more? But the location was great. Vibe was okay

As a hostel, the rooms are basic, but we had a private room and private bath. It was a more economical choice than any other hotel in city center.

Muhammad, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a private room with terrace on the 8th floor which was perfect! Room was basic but really modern, clean and great temperature with a/c especially in the heat while we were there. The hotel is very modern and eclectic with a good buzz about it all the time. Everything we were doing was within walking distance and the area is great. Highly recommend

8/10 Very good

It’s a good place, very fancy. It needs more chill areas or working spaces without the loud music they play all day.
Maria, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I have stayed in many Generators (7 to be precise) and this is the worst of them all due to the nonchalant ways of most staffs. I had no power through my bed (unable to use the light or charge my phone) and on my way out (early morning) made them aware of it. Come to find out request was submitted to maintenance at 6pm when they close at 5pm. No empathy displayed- they made me feel like I was a non paying customer 😏. From the security guy to front desk personnel they were very unbothered unconcerned
Betty, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff are so nice and location is also good!! We put the plate of 'Yes clean' but it doesn't work. Except this point, all good!
Yuko, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The stuff helped me a lot, and the room was clean enough. I met wonderful roommates. However, it was a little noisy around the hotel even thou it’s midnight.
Yuka, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It had the potential to be the best option for the

The check-in process took about an hour, and the line was obstructing other guests as they entered the building. The bed was firm, but it was clean. However, the shower door does not seal completely, leaving about a one-inch gap. As a result, when I take a shower, the floor ends up messy and wet.

Quarto amplo e confortável, bom atendimento dos funcionários, ótima localização. Pontos ruins: - controle do ar se fazia pela recepção - não tinha limpeza de quarto com 3 dias de hospedagem - chegamos mais cedo e para largar as malas lá e ir passear tem que pagar lockers, todos hoteis que ja fui na vida guardam as bagagens gratuitamente.

Muy bueno si te alojas en cuarto privado

Habitación limpia, terraza con vista a la sagrada familia, excelente todo excepto el desayuno el cual es muy básico y hay una chica vigilando furtivamente a los comensales para ver si ya pagaron el desayuno.
