We booked this long ago so got for 200 EU. If book day of 300 EU for a hostel room. No Ac ir fridge. Low end mattress. Loud courtyard as bar noisy until 130 am
I stayed for 2 nights at the Generator Berlin Mitte and it was lovely. The staff were really friendly and shared great recommendations. Would recommend for anyone visiting Berlin.
Upon my arrival, I encountered a highly unsafe and unsanitary environment. The lobby was filthy, and the public bathroom contained drug paraphernalia, including used needles. This situation was alarming and unacceptable, prompting me to leave immediately for my safety.
I attempted to contact the hotel numerous times over the following days to report these issues and request a refund but received no response. As a result, I reached out to Hotels.com immediately to let you know about the situation and to ask for help.
The fact that Hotels.com has been unable to secure a refund despite my immediate notification and the severe conditions at the hotel is deeply concerning. This situation goes beyond typical refund policies—it involves serious health and safety violations that made it impossible for me to stay at the property.
Very nice room with big windows looking over trees.
But the furniture in the room was very uncomfortable. Overall I had a good experience, things were clean, staff friendly, breakfast tasty.
This is a great hostel in Berlin, everything is very new & trendy. The rooms are great and have a seperate shower and toilet. The bar downstairs is great to meet new friends, very social area. The only thing is that I think the lockers in the room need improving, the door on mine was broken but other than that all great.
Kasia, Nikolina, Nicolas and especially Sharon were great staff members! They were extremely helpful, friendly and exceeded expectations answering all my questions. I definitely think the staff helped the stay become a lot more enjoyable!
Staff was very friendly and helpful, but I ended up in a pretty dirty room. It looked like someone had been living there for months. Trash everywhere and a slight smell. I didn’t rate it lower because the overall building was nice and the cost was so cheap. Plus, I might have just gotten unlucky with my room. Definitely a convenient location with lots to do around.
I booked this place not expecting much. It was so cheap but it ended up being very clean and beds were comfy. The rooms have a private toilet and shower, so you don't have to go out of the room everytime. The only thing I would complain about, the shower, the one in our room had no pressure and the drain was really smelly. But it did the job.
