Generator Hostel London

I paid for one bed in a 4-bed room on internet. But when I checked in, the front girl gave me a bed in a TEN-bed room!!! Regardless I told her this is NOT what I paid for, she insisted that she cannot do anything about it. At last, I had to pay extra £20 to switch to a 4-bed room. The hall-way was shabby while the shower room was really clean. The bed sheet was wrinkled, like someone has used it already. Do watch your head if you are given a bottom bed.

at first disappointed, your email to me to confirm my booking said "Room description: Dormitories room. Contains one single bed. Suitable for one person." which made me believe I would get as I asked - a single room to myself - email was misleading. However, breakfast was good and staff were helpful. Hostel conveniently situated for tube and chipshop.

the hostel is really good and you are very close to 2 tube stations, you can get almost everywhere within around 30 minutes. the rooms are okay, there's lockers for the luggage, the toilets are pretty clean... showers aren't great, but the rest is :)

l'acceuil était trés bien, la propreté par contre était un peu négligé pour ce qui est des draps. sinon a part ça c'était bien.

We stayed for 5 days in a 4 bunk bedroom. Beds were OK, it got a bit hot at night. With windows open, the noise was minimum. Hallway noise was also minimum as we stayed in the 4th floor. Breakfast was OK, just cereal, toast with jam and coffee (not bad) some awful soda or juice. My only complain is the Breakfast room staff are not very proactive and lack any initiative. They just stand around and stare at you. One staffer saw a customer pouring coffee ina plastic cup and did not offer to get a regular coffee mug. They shouild be able to speak english at least. Other than that one incident, the stay was great. Would do it again. Great Location.

Though a clean and reasonably priced hostel, it was not a place to take children. But if I were a single college student that would be my choice to stay. Staff was friendly and always around.

Very helpful staff. Of course it's a hostel, so don't expect to have an undisturbed sleep

Positive aspects: the hostel is just a 5-minute walk from king's cross station; the staff is always kind and helpful; there is a small canteen were you can have a dinner for a few pounds; if you need internet there is both pay per use internet terminals and free wi-fi. Negative aspects: showers are cold in the morning; toilets are not always clean.

Sister and I booked ahead & paid for private bunk room for 2 @ £85! When we got there only beds available were in mixed dorm. No other hotels available by that time so had to take it.Horrible. Very hot. Woke up in night with some bloke staring down at me from his bunk - yuk!
