Formerly in East Berlin, the arrival of MTV Europe and other media companies has enhanced Friedrichshain’s reputation as one of the liveliest, most fashionable areas in Berlin. Its pubs, clubs and cafés centre round Boxhagener Platz and Simon-Dach-Strasse, and a long section of the Berlin Wall remains on Mühlen Strasse. Karl-Marx-Allee is a testament to Stalinist architecture; the Volkspark Friedrichshain houses the Brothers Grimm Fountain.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 6, 2009
Good value for little money. A private room with a toilet and bathroom for the price of a meal. But... expect to meet hundreds of American and European teenagers literally kicking the walls and shouting away their youth or while you're trying to sleep or trying to buy dope from you while you're having your late night e-mail session in the lounge. Additionally, the wlan offered for a relatively high prise hardly ever worked properly. Cannot be recommended for people over 25 or families, but budget travellers may still consider this option and find it rewarding. The S-Bahn connections are great and several tram lines also take you there.

A good barain hostel in Berlin. Location not near city centre, and needs to take S-Bahn (interchanges)if you are from the main train station. Staff really friendly and helpful. There are shops/supermarkets and eateries near the hotel. Free breakfast was Ok considering the budget.

Great location, very close to one of the main train stations, Ostbahnhof, and only 35 mins to Schonefeld. It is just in front of one of the S-Bahn stops and you can also take 3trams and be in the heart of Berlin in 15mins. The room was clean and we had a private bathroom enough for what we needed. The beds were comfortable and you get clean towels/sheets as well. There is no wardrobe though. You can pay 10 more euros to checkout at 14.00 which I think is great, because we left on Sunday and obviously we wanted to go out on Saturday night.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 18, 2008
This was the loudest hostel I have ever stayed in. All night long teenagers were running around the halls screaming, yelling and even knocking on our door. We had the hotel change our room to what they said was a quiter floor and it was still loud. You could hear every noise in the hall. The rooms were on the small side and about as clean as any other hostel. The hostel is located in a run down neighborhood in the old east, but was very close to the s-bahn. Not worth the money you save. Ruined our trip to Berlin, spent too much time during the day trying to catch up on sleep.

Generator is a decent hotel worth the money. It's location is good with a very good Bahn network of transportation. Though its more suitable for bachelors, we 3 family (with 3 babies) stayed there for 2 nights with quite comfort. Though the cleanliness is not the best of its kind, you dont have much to complaint. Overall its good for stay.

Less than 2 minutes walk from Landsbergerstraße S-Bahn station, the ultra-modern, ultra-functional Hotel Generator provides comfortable, clean and functional two single bed plus shower-room accommodation in a convenient location next to the S-Bahn ring line. Breakfast, included in the room price, is basic but also adequate. The clientele is mainly younger but there were plenty of older guests too. There is internet and internet connection. I'd definitely go again and recommend.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 20, 2008
As long as you understand this is a hostel and not a hotel, it is a wonderful place. Their is a tram 50 meters away and the staff is very helpful. We stayed there 5 nights and my wife and I loved the place. The only problem we had is that one night it got very loud, extremely loud. The staff was helpful, but because it is a hostel you do run the possibility of having loud and or drunk teenagers. At 2AM the place was a mess, the other 4 nights it was quiter than a church. I do recommend it, even considering my one sidenote. Well worth the money when in Berlin.

The price we got was extremely cheap but at the same time the services provided were beyond excellent! The staff was always helpful and very polite, breakfast was good, no noise in the halls and they even rented bicycles which made going to and from the center a pure joy. But if you can't be bothered with riding a bike it's no big deal - the hostel is right next to a train and bus station and Berlin's public transportation system is impeccable. If you have any queries about directions and how to get where you want just ask the people at the reception. They'll provide you with all necessary information - and even jot it down on the free maps of Berlin that the hostel provides to all guests!

They could only find one reservation, and had only one room, not 2 as we had ordered (and paid for). Was degraded to shared room and had to change room during our stay, which was only for a weekend. Besides that it was great. Small rooms, but nice and clean. The staff was politie, the breakfast was decent and the location is very central in berlin. Close to public transportation and there is alot of young people staying there. Easy to get to know others.
