We stayed here for five nights. We tried to get the hair dryer but it was always unavailable. The front desk told us that we need to wait til someone return it. We weren’t able to get the hair dryer at all during our stay. I think the property should prepare enough hair dryer in each room.

Stayed here in June 2025 with my son. There are hundreds of dead bugs inside the light fixture (picture included). The window is paper thin and you can hear all the noise from outside. Bring your own pillows and blankets they don’t provide much. The hotel itself is located in a lower income area, lots of young people and had the air of a party place, not the in did place to bring. Your family. No room cleaning. This is a 1.5 star hotel, really the bare minimum provided. The place seems more like a hostel than a hotel. Not a good place.

elevators not working- understandable. but they closed a stairwell and only told you at the bottom, so you had to walk back up to exit. this can’t be safe for fire hazard reasons. €7.50 to rent a towel.. that should not be the case. the rooftop was also closed for a private event which was a main reason why I booked

Good suburb location in terms like London allow about 45 mins to get to most central attractions. Metropolitan metro line. Longer to Montmatre. Come up from station and look into the roundabout and you’ll see Generator curved to one side with neon letter front signage - approx 100m walk. There’s a boulangerie patisserie, bistro, pizza takeaway, small supermarket and pharmacy all around the same roundabout as well as 3 bistro restaurants (one is French). Rooftop was closed throughout the whole 7 days I stayed. Like the last Generator I stayed. Bed linen is changed every 5 days, but you can ask to swap towels at reception regularly. Unisex dorms only. Take flip flops as the boys pee and they don’t mop the floors and there are no bath mats/racks to stand on when you step out of showers. Lifts take a while as it’s a big place and was full of several school groups and many getting drunk. Massive hostel not far from the Saint Martin canal, modern and safe and rooms are quiet, but for other bunkers of course, so take ear plugs and eye mask as you should for any hostel :). Bar food until 10:30 in eve and one veggie option. Vending machines in reception. Laundry there too.
