Nice helpful staff and good clean basic accommodation. It was a very quick stay between trains so we didn't get to spend any time in the communal areas.

Convenient but had some issues

My stay was alright. I would probably stay here again because the location was super convenient and the beds were comfortable, but there were a few things that definitely bothered me. For starters, the window in the room was locked and all six of us had a hard time sleeping because of the humidity. We told reception about it, but the second time, they said they didn’t have a key and couldn’t do anything. We found a fan in the corner of the room and put it on the highest setting, but it didn’t help since there was nowhere for the hot air to go. The next day, housekeeping came in and unlocked it after they walked in and immediately noticed how hot the room was. Another thing was I stayed for three nights, and I’m pretty sure the shower was only cleaned one time. It wouldn’t have bothered me as much if I had room to shower and not brush up against the walls any time I moved. However, the shower and the toilet were both tiny, like portable units they just set in the room? They do have a single communal bathroom on each floor with a larger shower (which they don’t tell you about), but I had to use one on a different floor because mine was closed for construction. Also this is minor, but they definitely don’t update their event posters hanging outside the elevators on the ground floor (just around the corner from reception). Don’t expect there to be any events or specials in the bar as advertised because none of the staff had any clue what I meant when I asked about the poser.

Never again.

Pros : location near central station which is a chaotic area at all hours. Cons; cleanness of the bathroom was not good. The constant noise outside due to location. Many young wild people being noisy in hallways. Limited towels.

This hostel is right next to the train station so it’s very convenient for travel. The area is a little chaotic but very typical for areas around train stations. The room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the facilities were decent. Was able to utilize the laundry room and the bar area. The bathroom was super tiny and smelled a bit like sewage but totally fine for a night or two. There is a popular shopping area nearby and we were able to visit the Christmas markets.

部屋もきれいだし、シャワー/トイレは各部屋ごとだしで、基本的には不満はありませんでした。 外がうるさいとのレビューがありましたが、部屋によるかもしれません。 僕が泊まった6階の部屋は特にうるさいと感じませんでした。 一方で、ホステル付近はイスラム系の人々が集まる繁華街が近いため、2階、3階とかだとうるさく感じるかもしれません。 ランドリーは一応あるには有りました。 洗濯、乾燥でそれぞれ5€とのことでした。 キッチンは無いので、ご飯は外から調達するしかありません。

Perfect for 1 night stay

The Generator hostel is across the road from the train station which was very convenient for us. Check in was slow as there we many people checking in at the same time, rooms are small but clean, bathroom is tiny but still useable. Breakfast was 9 euro, there are laundry facilities for 6 euro. There are plenty of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. For our 1 night stay this hostel is perfect
