"Excellent value"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Great location close to Deutsche Oper Berlin and served by bus less than 100m walk from the front door, less than 30 minutes to the Hauptbahnhof by bus and S-bahn. Excellent breakfast, one of the best I've had at the price. My only complaint is some smoking jerk in the floor below would blow his garbage out his window and of course it would be sucked directly into my windows. Thankfully the air-conditioning was working perfectly.
"Nice place to spend a weekend."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Had a really great stay. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed to friendliness of the staff and the comfort of the room. The only real complaint I have is that the doors and room are not that well sound proofed and you can hear everything in the hallway. But overall, good comfortable stay.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 4, 2012
We stayed a week at the hotel and enjoyed it. Best locaition in Berlin, very close to most museums. also very close to the S & U Bohn and trains. Shopping is near by. I would stay again when in Berlin.
"Berlin visit by 6 seniors"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 4, 2012
Very nice. No complaints. Had to pay for breakfast and wifi and parking but that seems to be standard in Europe. Breakfast was exceptionally good, great variety and quality. Room was very nice as was Hotel. Front desk staff was friendly, helpfl and spoke good English. Could walk safetly from Hotel to major attractions. On a street car and subway route. Would stay here again.
"Great Location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 4, 2012
Everything was very good, including the restaurant. There are only a few things I would change: 1. The room had an old rundowned carpet. No matter how much you vacuum it, it does not look clean. Would much rather have a hardwood floor or something similar. 2. The "business room" is a very tinny space with only one computer. For the money I payed, I would expect a "real" bussiness room with three or four PC's, etc. 3. The espresso coffee machine never worked (although you can get good coffee just about everywhere around the place). Other than that, it is a great hotel ... specially the view, WOW ... awesome ... and the location can't be better. The staff was very friendly too.

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.
see all hotels in Berlin"Pretty good hostel"
Great atmosphere, loved the free breakfast and bar at night. Met some really great people. The room was standard but clean and it had a sink/mirror which was nice. The bathrooms were very clean! They are close to a metro stop but still far out of the main center. Our only complaint was when we checked in they tried to tell us a 4 twin bed is actually […] 4 bunk beds. Although we paid extra that night for an actual 4 bed dorm they refunded us our money the next day and admitted it was their mistake. Overall great staff, had a good nights stay and would recommend.

"Generator Hostel"
This was a great hostels! My friends and I were expecting the worse since it was a hostel but it was very similar to an actual dorm. The location was convenient, it only took us about 20 minutes to get to anything we really wanted to see. Overall great service great stay at The Generator hostel.
good breakfast! but the locker is not so safe.
"It's a cheap hotel with free breakfast near s-bahn"
Upon arriving in Berlin, a public transportation ticket is good for 2 hours, any type in any direction. From the airport, take the TXL bus to either a u-bahn or s-bahn station. Then go to Landsberger Alle stop. When you are on the platform facing the back of the hotel, exit left and you can cut through a lot to the front of the hotel. A bus stop is […] also right in front of the hotel too. The internet connection is good. It's relatively quiet, but I had a room with my own bathroom on the 9th floor. The staff is amazing friendly and they post "things to do in the elevators". It's a normal european breakfast. they also have a walking tour that has a member come to the hotel and lead the way to a free walking tour. The neighbor seems scary (single female), but it was safe. Its always a risk walking outside at night time by your self. But the main road is a commerical one, so there are business that do close at night. It's a cheap hotel with free breakfast near s-bahn.

"Everything a hostel should be!"
Great hostel for a very good price! Staff was friendly. Internet was free downstairs. Our room was clean and large, but the bathroom was super tiny. The breakfast was simple but filling- cereals, meats, cheese, bread, coffee and tea. The bar was very cheap, 3euros for a decent beer. The walls are not very soundproof though. During our stay, there was […] a large group of high schoolers who ran around the halls, screaming and being dumb all night long. Read more

"Great services and AMAZING customer service."
overall good experience. the main floor is very loud with all the people. but the customer service is second to none and the hostel was very clean for it's size and amount of guests
"head-banger's ball"
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. Read more
"Good bargain hotel in Berlin"
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.
"Best value for money"
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. Read more
"Stay there only if there's no other options"
The private twin room we booked was small with tiny modular showers, but to be fair, it was clean. But the biggest drawback was the thin walls. You could hear people's conversations from next door or down the corridor. Gets worse when groups of teenagers return from partying after midnight. The room was near the shared toilets so the banging of doors […] made it worse. We've stayed in other hostels before, but can't remember the last time it was so noisy. The service was poor as well. We were told to wait alongside for check-in as they were changing shifts, but the same person didn't bother telling us that he was ready, even when we were just standing next to the counter. Location was just average even with the S-Bahn Station nearby. Got the room cheap for a single night stay (thankfully!) , but wouldn't go back there again even for a low price. Read more

"The Hotel Generator in Berlin"
The Hotel was very good location to all servieces, cheap if we comparing to another country,the staf friendly,cleaning all the time,romms,bathroom,hall every where,but theres some noise from the location close to the train,and also some noise from young costmer,but overall everything was fine,and I dvise my friend to go to this hotel.
"Generator"
Very good value. Comfortable hostel which is more like a budget hotel. The atmosphere is definitely very young, and could be noisy at times. The location was excellent, as it was relatively simple to get to anywhere in the city.
"Great hostel!"
Excellent location (2 mins walk from the S-bahn station) and service. The breakfast was a bit expensive, but definitely worth it! The rooms were perfectly ok for backpackers and tourists. The bathroom (we had a private bathroom) was a bit small, but clean and hygienic.
"Generator"
This hostel is quiet large. No so many people live there a few days before Xmas so it is rather quiet. There are supermarket and fast food restaurants nearby.Breakfast is good.
"Nice hostel in Berlin"
This hostel was cheap but altogether quite OK place to stay. Rooms were clean enough and everything went smoothly. If you just need a room with bed and shower and S-train connection, I would recommend this. I stayed in two-bed-room with my friend.

"Noisy"
Paper thin walls so heard every sound, but hostel was very clean, good staff and good service.
"Good and Friendly"
Very friedly and helpful reception. Very conveniently located to transportation to airport and city. Unavoidable backpackers shoes smell everywhere. Should use refreshners in the room and hallways. Beware of the interruption of train service during the weekend from the Schonfeld airport.
"The Genarater Hostel ,close to station + historic"
Good ,clean comfortable ,affordable ,hostel.Situated in site seeing location ,close to underground system .Suitable for all ages .Good atmosphere
"Use a dust rag much?"
The room was simple and stark...what I would expect from a hostel. I cannot believe the amount of dust on the bed rails and dust on the floor. It was like no one had been in the room for over a month. I wasn't comfortable showering in my bare feet. Luckily I brought flip flops, but have tossed them. It was not too noisy, but there was the occasional […] yelp in the hallway at 3 or 4am. No big deal. Read more
"Generator Hostel in Berlin"
I live there because of the price and the location which is next the S Bahn station. The food in the restautant is very good. Everyday of a week is different. But the only problem is that it is not a quiet place because of lots of kids living there. They kept kicking doors at even 23:00~24:00.
"Für den Preis okay!"
Kein Luxushotel, aber für den Preis völlig okay!
"Hotel practico"
Estuvimos alojados 4 noches en el Generator Hostel de Berlin y realmente esta al lado de la parada del metro "Landsberger Allee". No es que sea el centro pero es practico porque el transporte es rapido y variado. El check in y el check out super rapidos y te dejan guardar las maletas el ultimo dia hasta la hora que quieras. La unica nota negativa es […] que las paredes son muy finas y oyes las conversaciones de los de al lado. Calidad/precio mas que aceptable. Muy recomentable la targeta de turistas Welcome Card para utilizar todos los transportes sin limites. Read more
"Gute Lage - super Preis"
Das Zimmer war sehr klein, aber zweckmässig und praktisch. Leider kein Safe im Doppelzimmer. 7. Stockwerk von Vorteil.
"Bien comunicado"
Precio calidad, muy correcto. Al lado de una estación de tren que funciona con la misma regularidad de un metro y rápidamente llegas a cualquier parte de la ciudad. También hay el tranvía al lado mismo. Posibilidad de tener habitación con baño que se agradece! Las camas no son las más cómodas del mundo, pero cuando uno está cansado de andar por la ciudad […] duerme cómo un tronco! Alguna noche se oía un poco de jaleo de las habitaciones colindantes, pero nada que no sea normal en un hostel de jóvenes. La atención de los trabajadores muy correcta y limpieza también. El hostel dispone de wiffi. Nos conectamos des del móvil. Creo que gratuitamente deja conectarse durante 1hora. Read more

"Recomendable!"
El hostel posee buenas instalaciones, está cuidado y limpio. La habitación es cómoda y limpia, lo único negativo es el baño que es muy chico. No está muy cerca de los principales puntos de interés de la ciudad, pero lo rodean una estación de subte y una de tranvía/metrobus que te conecta rápidamente.
"S-Bahn: nur 6 Stationen bis zum Alex-platz"
Mit der S-Bahn (die Station liegt direkt um die Ecke) ist man nach 6 Stationen direkt am Alexanderplatz! Für 15,00 Euro bekommt man ein Kleingruppen-Tagesticket welches bis nachts 3.00 Uhr gültig ist! In Friedrichshain sind viele kleine / günstige Restaurants (in den Seitenstraßen). Wir waren als Familie im Hostel und hatten unser Zimmer in der 5.Etage […] = es war super ruhig! Die Kinder und auch wir Eltern konnten super durchschlafen!! Danke an alle Mitbewohner für Ihr rücksichtsvolles Verhalten im Flur!!!!! Ich kann dieses Hostel nur empfehlen egal ob jung oder alt!!!! Frühstück gibt es tägl. für wenig Geld und die Auswahl ist relativ hoch : Körnerbrötchen, normale Brötchen, Brot, Cornflakes, 2 Sorten Käse, ca. 6 Sorten Wurst (Schwein/Geflügel), Gurken/Tomaten, Ei und Milch/Tee/Kaffee = also da müßte für jeden etwas dabei sein!

"Zeer goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding!"
Eenvoudig, maar wel een éénpersoonskamer mét ontbijt voor heel weinig geld en de S-Bahn om de hoek. Wel een eindje verwijderd van alle belangrijke plekken.

"småt men godt."
det var et rigtig hyggeligt hotel, god service og det var hyggeligt nok. Men selvom hotels.dk oplyser i deres beskrivelse at der serveres gratis morgenmad for gæsterne så er det ikke gratis!! men vi fik heldigvis god service og gratis morgenmad fordi det var en fejl fra deres side af. men alt i alt var det et godt hotel, lidt lydt men det var til at […] overleve.

"sencillez y mucha comodidad en el Generator"
Está bien comunicado con el centro (a unos 20 minutos en transporte público), las habitaciones dobles están en muy buenas condiciones y todo el personal habla inglés. En general, se trata de una estancia preparada especialmente para jóvenes y turistas. Los baños son pequeños, pero para qué más.

"Billigt - men dårligt beliggende"
Dette hostel er rent og pænt, men man skal vide at mange af dets besøgende er mellem 16-18 år, hvilket betyder, at der er meget larm på gangene sent ud på natten. Vi valgte hostellet lokket af et godt tilbud, men man skal nok gøre op, og de penge man har sparet på opholdet, i stedet bliver brugt på transporten frem og tilbage fra de gode områder i byen. […] Vi brugte flere gange op mod en time om at komme fra Kreuzberg ud til hostellet! Så vælg i stedet at bruge bare lidt flere penge på et hostel et andet området, som måske også har en smule karakter. Read more
