Really enjoyed this Hostel. Would never stay in any other ones besides this one. The staff was Awesome. Beds were comfortable, people were friendly. Great place and a fun time.

Highly recommend this Hostel! Excellent location, value and quality! Stayed here 3 nights with friends in a six bed en suite room. Very comfortable, clean and staff were extremely helpful with transportation arrangements. Will definitely stay here again!

Worked out well, expensive for type of accomodaiton but clean and new and we booked a private room, unfortunately we got bunk beds the first 2 nights but got a double bed the 3rd. Handy for walking although would have been better to look closer to train station.

Everything in hotel was fancy and clean so really satisfied with all. Just, if it was nearer from center of city than the current spot, it would be more convenient.

My number ONE priority in a hotel is cleanliness and Generator hit the mark. The Pergo type flooring makes for easy cleaning and ours was spotless. The linens were fresh and the bathroom had zero "eww" factor. I stayed in a twin room with my son but there was a large double bed AND a twin in the room. Other than that there was a small space to hang […] clothes and one table. With both beds used it was a tiny bit crowded but a couple could use the twin as an extra place to put clothing or other items. I can't speak for larger/shared rooms, but ours worked for us. My son found night time entertainment and met a lot of people at the bar downstairs. As for food, I'd suggest the supermarket across the street for breakfast. The Generator's breakfast cost 4EU per person and was very basic...cereal, toast, a little ham. I don't eat cereal and my son doesn't eat meat so we had very little for the price. For 4Eu you can have pan chocolat, croissant, yogurt, baguette, egg sandwiches, any number of much better options at the supermarket. You can stock up and pack for lunch there and return for dinner - it closes at 10. Food can e pricey in Dublin as well but if you're trying to save money in the third most expensive city Europe, I'd suggest the Generator. Read more

The only problem we had was a mix up regarding our room needs. I took great care to express that we wanted a double room for my self and my colleague leading a group of college students. However, that is not what was booked--we had two beds in a full 8 person room. Fortunately, they were able to get us into a private room but not without charging us […] more. The mix-up was taken care of but quite disappointing. Read more

Our family of five spent one night here duing our Ireland vacation. This hostel is really nice. We booked a private room with six beds and a bathroom, and we didn't have to share with anyone. Don't forget to bring your own soap and shampoo! Towels are available for rent for 2 Euro each.

Had a great time here. Our room was fairly dirty, as were the beds, but we had clean sheets to put on them so it was fine. As far as hostels go this one is fairly impressive, I'd stay there again. It's a bit of a walk back from town (especially in the Irish rain!) but Dublin is flat so not too much of a problem. Unless you're a girl wearing heels for […] a night out. Take flats!!! Read more

If you're young and traveling alone, hostels are always the easiest way to meet like-minded people. The Generator Hostel was one of the best hostels I have ever experienced. All the people who stayed there were friendly, and within a few minutes I met people from all over the world, all who are intelligent and love to travel, but also people who you […] can party with and drink (and whatever) all night long. Dublin is a small city, so it's easy to walk anywhere from the hostel and the hostel is 2 seconds away from the tram. It is a 10 minute walk to Temple Bar and O'Connell St. I would recommend the hostel to anyone, and especially for the price Read more

Very comfortable beds, clean sheets, warm blankets. Good location. Convenient breakfast, but not many options when it comes to protein. A youthful kind of place, though it was a little annoying to swipe a card to work the elevator. I really appreciated the metal trunks under the bed for storage or just a sitting space. I'd recommend this place to anyone. […] Remember to bring your own towel. They do have some to rent, though. Read more

Location is amazing, bed is comfortable, price cheap, wifi works. Only downside was no free breakfast

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was a very nice hotel. The staff are very nice and friendly. Would stay there again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hostel was perfect. It was fairly conveniently located, in that I could walk anywhere, but also far enough away from the popular tourist areas to be nice. Very clean, friendly, and comfortable. Plus the beds were really nice.

Dear Sir; The Generator is very impressive physically. It's huge in that it accomodates so many customers and events at the same time. I thought the Continental Breakfast was well worth the price. The bar set up with the pool tables was set up smartly. It seemed as if something was going on all of the time. Gee, twenty minutes after I arrived from […] Philadelphia in the USA, I was participating on a tour of the city which didn't give up until about 4:PM that night. We all joined in with our tour guide for a nice dinner at one of the famous bar rooms in the old part of the city. The Tool Bar I think, maybe. Then the next two days the Generator organized two nice sightseeing trips in Vans to Cork and Galway with stops at the making of the John Wayne film, The Quiet Man, and shopping in Cork City. I say all of the plush farm land and came away very impressed. Your tour guide, Tony, gave us countless exposes from ancient Irish history. The directions I got from the airport personel was right on as I found the Generator with little worry. I was advised to take the 747 bus from the airport to O'Connel Street stopping where the Tram, or (Trolly) intersects, and then following it down three stops to where Smithfield intersects. It's just three minutes from there. Read more

I haven't stayed in a hostel in 10 years but this Generator did not make me regret my decision to spend a couple days there. It's located in Smithfield, about 15 minute walk from the Temple Bar area and 15 minutes from the Dublin train station. I stayed in a mixed- 6 person, en suite room that was well cleaned every day. The place is a huge complex, […] recently renovated from a failed hotel. As a result everything feels pretty new, the staff are on top of their game, and the clientele is everything from typical back packer to families taking advantage of the low full room rates. There's a bar and free computer access, all for about 12 or 15 euro a night. Prety good deal by me. Read more

it was that bad that we had to book into a travel lodge as wasnt willing to stay in a place like that

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It provided everything we needed. The staff were polite and helpful (giving directions) etc. The food was good and the place was clean. There is free wifi for staying in contact with people. Its close to the city centre (15 mins walk max) and has excellent transport links: the tram and city tour bus stop literally at the door.

Apart from the girls loo's and showers being a floor below ours, it was very clean, comfortable and great value for money! The breakfast is very simple, but sort of what I would expect considering the price. Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to fit a group of us in one room together although we had booked separately. Just a 10 minute […] walk or a very short taxi ride to Temple Bar area.

My wife and I were extremely pleased with the venue.. It was a whole lot more than a hostel. Great decor, great location and great atmosphere. We are already looking at other generators throughout Europe for our next trip.

The room was clean and nice, and the staff was very helpful.

We had a great stay and will def return six girls in a private dorm nothing to complain about

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great hostel to stay in, and nice quiet location, but housekeeping is poor. My room was never cleaned since I was there and if you want something warm to eat forget about the kitchen because the staff were unwilling to give pans etc With only a frying pan it is somewhat limited to what you can cook!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hostel did what it said on the tin. Chose a private en-suite room and received a huge room with double and spare single bed. Close to the river, 10 min walk to temple bar. Cafe and Bar had reasonably priced food and a good selection of drinks. Breakfast was basic but enough (ask at reception about somewhere for a hot breakfast and they are happy to […] send you around the corner). Good security and very friendly staff, would def stay again. Read more

great value for money, friendly staff, luas stop 2 mins walk away. stayed here as was going to concert in the O2, very convenient

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive and availble at all times. Willing to book you taxis and give directions with suggestions at a moments notice. The lobby area is huge and always busy with sometimes live music playing and a warm feel to it. The pool tables and bar were also welcome. The double room (plus a random single bed) was very clean […] and tidy with a fantastically powerful shower. The location is central and right by a little supermarket as well. The only downside is that there is no wi-fi in the bedrooms, only in the lobby, but the password is given out for free with unlimited usage. Read more

I liked it is clean, modern - the only one problem is the room was very small and very bad smell .... so not very good rest - if you put some air absorber on the roof - the bad smell can dissapear .... I enjoyed talking with nice people.

It was quite nice! The first day we spent the night at the bar of the hotel. It is big and usually crowded! I forgot my jacket and I left without taking it upstairs.. The next day I called the reception and they informed me that the bartender had kept it . Very kind of them!

Got a brilliant deal of £40 for 2 night in the triple room, wasn't expecting much for the price but was pleasantly surprised at the amazing room we were given! Downstairs was really quirky and everyone was really friendly, definitely stay here again and recommend to friends

I stayed a couple of nights in a private room and everything was great. Great location, confortable bed, decent breakfast (although It could have been better). Besides, you're 15 minutes from Centre Dublin (Temple Bar area). And I mean walking! The staff is really kind and they will recommend you nice tours. For example going to The Cliffs of Moher […] and Galway. Read more

The hostel is big, stylish and friendly. Ifte dj is playing in the bar don't expect to get to sleep until at least 3am, drinks in the bar reasonably priced, everyone's friendly and you can have a laugh! Breakfast is a major let down if you're hungover, definitely head somewhere else for a hot breakfast, bedding in the hostel not always clean, we had […] a few issues in our room, but other than that everything about our stay was perfect, will stay here again!!
