Nina was the best. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, nice quiet environment. Surrounding area looks a bit sketchy at night but just take normal precaution. No towel, you have to pay extra seemed not good. I would recommend.

The restroom was in pretty bad shape; the shower leaked water onto the bathroom room floor and it remained wet the rest of the time. There a smell of mold all over the bathroom and it wasn’t clean properly. They charged per extra towels 5 euros just so I can have a towel to dry the wet floor. The “fresh” towels also smelled bad. Very disappointed on this property.

Checking in and out was a breeze. The staff is amazing- always ready to help with a friendly demeanor. The staff I’d encountered (consisting of many front desk reps and rooftop bartender), were all personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful with every question/issue I had. My room- was in a twin deluxe- was cute and IMMACULATE, the AC was pumping (I was able to adjust the temperature), and bed was comfy. Decor was cute and artsy. In all, Generator Rome for the place and staff - gets at A++! The neighborhood- as you would be in any foreign city, keep your eyes open. You’re in the heart of Rome and whenever you’re in any “heart” of a major city, you will notice an evident urban “edge”- Rome is no different. The first couple of nights I took cabs everywhere, and then soon realized it was like NYC (where I grew up in)- and people keep to themselves as long as you do. Keeping my eyes open and being aware, I used public transportation everywhere from that point on- even on those late nights out. In the end, if I had to compare, if I were a newbie city traveler, I’d beg to say that the heart of Rome had a safer feeling than NYC. A tip for US travelers - bring an adaptor if you want to use a USB, lightening port, or “regular” US electrical plug; their sockets are European ones. The hostel sells them but do bring one if you have. Thank you Generator Rome staff for an excellent stay. 🤗 Lorenzo, the “music major,” and team- you’re all a gem!

Excellent and helpful staff. Needs a real kitchen. Limiting food on premises to only what can be bought at the hostel is a huge mistake. Not many good restaurants in the immediate area. Pre-packaged breakfast served on a tray with no choice allowed is dreadful and way overpriced at Euro 8. Would only recommend this hostel if you need to be near the train station.

Good staff, bad sleep

The hostel itself was nice and the staff were really friendly. The rooftop bar is a nice addition and a good place to go in the evenings. The room was where I had my issues. The air conditioning didn’t appear to be working, and when I asked it turned out the air con doesn’t get switched on at all in the evenings until the end of May. Given the heat at this time of year, I thought this was ridiculous. This resulted in people in my room opening the windows, which meant I could hear every loud banging noise that people in vans and trucks were making in the street below (this would happen all night). The heat and the noise resulted in 3 pretty terrible sleeps. One small pillow was also not really enough comfort-wise.

This hostel was perfect for our family's needs. They let us book a whole room for ourselves since we had 6 people. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend for any travelers. Don't be fooled by the outside neighborhood. It was safe and we walked just fine to and from the metro and train station with our children.

Stated a one bedroom, but in fact paid $52 for a 8 bed dorm. This is a hostel not a hotel, in addition $10 gets u a croissant, coffee and fruit. Felt cheated and tricked. Bad karma as the owner is aware of the deception. Pay attention, don’t book here unless ur aware your paying to sleep in a large dorm and have no privacy! Will try to get refunded by Expedia
