Generator Hostel Berlin East - Berlin

I really enjoyed this hostel. There were a few different common areas on the ground floor with free WiFi available. I was in a bunk room (8 girls), and my roommates were pretty considerate about quiet time at night. The shared bathrooms were okay, but the showers were barely acceptable. The location was great, breakfast was good.

Very good hostel. Clean, cheap and close to train station.

This is a pretty nice decent hotel.The entire staff was very nice and helpful.Especially Hannes, Nicolas and Patrick.Hotel can become quite noisy with the young student backpack crowd.So it's better to upgrade to a room with a private shower.Subway is right next to the hotel which made travelling around the city real easy.I would definitely stay here […] again!

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.

Located next to train access. Breakfast same every morning- meats, cheeses, cereals, so plenty to choose from. Walls kind of thin- heard our neighbor snoring one night. In room showers small, but feel free to use the shower down the hall. The front desk staff are extremely helpful- (and in English for us which was greatly appreciated). Several walking […] tours begin with a guide picking us up right at the Generator Hostel and taking us by the trains to the group meeting points. We would stay here again. Economical. Read more

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.

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.

It was my first experience with expedia and everything worked well.Planes ,check- in,hostel,rooms were the same as they offered and nothing delayed.Generator was a huge hostel near both tram and U-bahn and S-bahn station and it was very easy to go city center and back every hour of day and night.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Hostel was quite hard to find. Once there the staff whern't overly friendly or informative. The room itself was tiny. We had a twin room with bathroom, we hardly had room to turn around and the shower/toilet was really tiny. On a good note, it was right on a train line so access to the city was easy. Free breakfast is always good and free wi fi […] was also a bonus. after a fairly quiet 3 days the hostel got bombarded with about 200 teenage school kids, as you can imagine the place was swarming with them, yelling, singing and playing soccer in the hallways all night...we had another 2 nights of no sleep and we believed that hostel security should have inforced the quiet time curfue to prevent this, or at least get the sudent supervisors to tell them off. It definately ruined our stay there. Other than that is was a fun and stylish hostel. Read more

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

The Hostel was very nice. At first, i wasn't that happy with the fact that i had to share the bathroom, but after i got there and saw the infrastructure they had, i was fine with it. The Hostel was less than a block away from the train station and probably 20 minutes by subway away from the main attractions (Brandenburg gate and surrondings). The check-in […] took less than 2 minutes and check-out took less than 30 seconds. Continental breakfast was included and it was decent (2 types of bread, 5 types of cereal, 2 types of juice, coffee, tea, cheese, ham), it was actully more than i expected. I recomend!! Read more

One disadvantage of the hotel i was in 4th floor and I couldn´t use the WiFi in my room. I am a bit disappointed, because I paid a value for a hotel room and if i would use the internet i just have wifi access in the ground floor. I think is the advantage of this and my bathroom wasn´t cleaned during my stay, the toilet was smelling bad since i arrived. […] i think they have to pay attention the room cleanliness. Read more

Right beside a tram line and Landsberger Allee S-Bahn station which links directly to Schonefeld Airport. Easy transfer to S-Bahn (Ostkreuz) or U-Bahn (Frankfurter Allee) which will take you to the city centre relatively quickly. Free wi-fi downstairs. Cheap, clean, 24 hr front desk - I'd definitely recommend it if you want to see Berlin on a budget. […] The surrounding neighbourhood is not visually attractive (East German housing blocks), but it seemed safe at night.

Super easy to find as it is literally next to the tram and S Bahn stop. Check in was very efficient and the facilities were fine for a short city break. Clean linen and rooms, lockers available (take your own lock) and free walking tours every morning. Bar had nice facilities and good drink and food offers with a buzzing pre-party atmosphere. Fast food, […] supermarket and pharmacy just around the corner and very easy access to the city centre. Read more

Generator is a functional place to stay, ideal for large groups. It's not the most personal or boutique hostel but it serves a purpose. It's clean and located right next to a station. The bar is good for a few cheap pints before you go out and the 24hr reception makes it ideal for nighlife lovers.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice room but very noisy at night! Nice bar with cheap drinks and different offers every night. Great value for money overall!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Fantastic hostel, very cheap, lots to inside and is close to local attractions. Great place, thoroughly reccomended.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Pleasant surprise, after the low prices we were prepared for everything, but room was pleasant and clean, and warm, we had a private room with bathroom. Staff was very friendly, although room wasn´t ready by check in time, so we left our luggage in a storage room and went to the city. S-bahn station is behind the hotel. We actually had view over the […] station, but with closed windows it wasn´t a problem. Might be in the summer though. Parking also possible on the other side of the road. Breakfast was ok-ish, i think you can get nicer for this price, but for us time was more important this time. All in all, i would stay there again. Read more

It was an wonderful experience at generator hostel. Its very close to almost all sight seeing places. Hostel was well maintained and the service was really gud. Elf recommend this hostel 100%. Njoi..

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hostel has a great atmosphere; the bar was great to chill out in during the evening, if a little expensive. All the commodities needed were provided, beds were comfy. Would stay again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were pleasantly surprised at the overall excellent quality of the hostel considering the cheap prices. Staff were extremely helpful and accommodating and were fluent in English. Rooms were pretty clean with a lot of space. The bar area can become noisy at night, but is far enough away from the rooms that the noise doesn't bother anyone. Ideal place […] for students and young travellers looking to have fun and save a buck, but is also well suited to families and older holidaymakers. The location is brilliant, being only ten-fifteen minutes away from Alexanderplatz and the rest of Central Berlin on the S5 tram. The free wifi was also a definite plus! I would definitely stay there again. Read more

We picked the Generator over other hostels just because of our pleasant stay at the Dublin location. This Hostel was just a lot bigger and looked to be older, but had everything you needed for the stay. Food at all meal times, bed, lockers and travel services at the desk. Definitely do the pub crawl if your old enough and part of the younger genera […] tion. Read more

Great value and a reasonable location considering the price and compared to other Berlin hostels. Only thing I didn't like was the thinness of the walls - you could hear the person in the next room breathing. There were also loads of school groups and sports groups staying there too, who spent the whole night running through the corridors, screaming […] excitedly. However, hostels usually a bit noisy, so it wouldn't put me off using it again. Read more

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

Great hostel that caters for everyone. Twin room was a little small and bathroom needed a bath mat but apart from that it was clean and comfy. The hostel offered plenty of options at night for those that wanted to have a drink but not drift far from the hostel. Easy transport options close to the hostel, good value meals and good Internet access.

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.

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.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

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.

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.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

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.

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.

This is a good hostel, with what you expect from one, basic bedrooms and breakfast. Limited food selection, but the chef was excellent. In fairness this is just nit-picking, but definatly worth visiting.

Hostel is far from town although located right near tram and S Bahn stop's. Hostel Rooms average and noisy even during the week! Big tour groups stay here!

Rooms were immaculate, very clean for a hostel, however walls are paper thin and occupants noisy on St Patricks Day! Beware,metro line to airport doesn't always run direct...

Genuine Expedia guest review

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

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.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hostel was good, clean, spacious and fun. Breakfast was good, usual bread, cereals, cheese, ham and hot/cold drinks. The only downside to this hostel was that 80% of the guests were 16 year olds, running around and screaming, specially in the bar. But in the rooms it was quiet. about 15 minutes from Berlin town centre, not bad at all considering […] it was right by the train station and trains run 24 hours! Overall, good value hostel!
