Generator Hostel, Rome

Location. Cleaning.

Could be better price for 6people room.

The staff is really good, specially Chiara, she helped me a lot. All the hostel is very cleaned, the beds are confortable and the structure is okay.

Despite the great localization, the neighborhood is sketchy at night, I had to come back early, for not be stolen by some immigrant groups that stay around the place.

Nice

Everything on its place

The bed wasn't very comfortable

Shout out to the two girls who checked me in on 12th April. Lovely staff, very helpful and attentive. Great location, very closed to train station and all the attractions are walkable.

There’s a loud buzzing sound when you open the door for the room, could be a little bit stressful if other people come back in the middle of the night or leaving early.

+ Big and clean rooms with two private bathrooms + Good location

-breakfast didnt seem to be worth the money

Good price/quality ratio. It was my first hostel experience and everything was okay. Very close to termini station.

It’s very close to the train station, and the staff provide excellent service. Whenever you have any questions, they help you quickly and always with a smile.

I stayed in a single room, but the cleanliness wasn’t very good. On my first day, I stepped on a piece of used chewing gum on the floor. The soundproofing isn’t great either, and the people around the area seem a bit more complicated. It’s better not to return too late, as it feels a bit unsafe.

The staff was amazing, very open, and ready to help with any question you have Amenities were good. I had an issue with the power system in my bed, which was solved in less than a day. Rooms are super clean

The rooms themselves felt a bit dark and, as a result, dont really feel the space. Also, the smoking area is very dark, and there are no plugs there

Friendly staff; location; ease of check-in and check-out

Overall, the hostel was really nice, it was clean with a nice social area, the reception was 24hrs with great staff and the rooms were really spacious! Having the en suite dorm was really useful as it meant there were less people using one bathroom (much nicer than what we'd experienced in other hostels).

To be honest the location wasn't great, other than the fact that it's close to the train station, there isn't much going on in that area. It feels quite unsafe and (as we later found out) is one of the worst neighbourhoods in Rome. However, it was a short walk (20mins) to nicer neighbourhoods and the Colosseum which was good. Other than that, our only other minor complaints would be that the beds weren't particularly comfortable and if you are in a dorm the doors make a very very loud noise when unlocking and the lights immediately turn on. This is fine during the day but at night can be quite distracting from sleep. This hostel was a bit on the pricey side for us and although it was nice it wasn't THAT nice.

Location, kind and correct staff

No towels in the private bathroom

The staff were amazing and went above and beyond what I would have expected. My phone got stolen and they really helped me and restored my faith in humanity! The location is great, 5 min walk from the Rome station, rooms were reasonably priced and clean.

I understand that the accommodation is a youth hostel so there will be noise but the constant banging of the doors was a lot. I'm not sure if there's some mechanism that could minimise them shutting so quickly and loudly

Incredibly friendly staff. Be prepared it can get crowded with groups of youngsters and thus loud - you're in Rome after all

Friendly staff, clean bed, near to station

Powerpoints on the bed didn't work at all. So I had to use the communal one to charge my phone. There was a risk to get taken.

Good location and Nice place .👍

The staff was super friendly and everything went smoothly

That the police wake us up at 9 to take someone in my room for some reason and that was super suspicious

Friendly & helpful staff, Clean facilities,

Location was great for Coliseum, Trevi fountain and Spanish steps, all well within walking distance, however we did appear to be in a slightly "rough" area. Police consistantly outside. We were in a mixed dormitory, which was fine but disturbed by large party of teenagers in room above. Staff on duty did deal with it.

Very friendly staff who genuinely enjoy their guests comfort. Bar and bar food good. Great location.

A beautiful and clean hotel

.

The hostel is located right next to Termini station so it makes it very practical to arrive and leave by bus or train, even to the airport. The distance to the city center is 20 min by foot but there is a metro station right next to the hostel. The reception and common rooms are very comfortable and nice. The rooms are spacious with separated ensuite bathroom and toilet which is great for a room with more people. The lockers beneath the bed are very big. Every bed had a light and two power sockets.

The only thing I didn't like and that I would change is the bed sheet and matress. The matress had plastic cover while the bed sheet didn't have elastic so with every turn my sheet would slip. But besides that everything was great.

Friendly staff Location

Clean, well appointed rooms. Lovely helpful staff. Near Termini station, and very close to Vitorio Emmanuele metro station. Don’t understand the negative reviews at all, our experience was great.

Nothing

Very nice and friendly staff, a great location, a comfortable bed, and a clean room

Noise from outside at night, and one shower in the 8-bed room had no hot water

Absolutely amazing staff, they were very helpful and friendly. Rooms and common areas were clean, there were an extra room with lockers to leave the luggage (for an extra fee) after check out. Overall, good value for money.

I was missing a little kitchen (there are 2 small fridges, a microwave, a kettle and a few other items) and the location was okay, but didn’t feel safe, especially for the women in the evening/night time.

4 bedroom dorm is very spacious, separated bathroom & shower room

Not allow to cook but microwave and fridge in common area.

Honestly it is a very very nice experience, met super cool people from many countries and lived together like we knew each other for months. The staff is super friendly and they deep clean the bathrooms daily. would definitely recommend and would try again. I recommend the 6 beds room because its more spacious than the 4 and has 2 bathrooms.

It was clean and cozy, the room was big. the price was also fair.

The bedsheet were from materials like plastic and it was causing sweating and annoy while sleeping. The beds were not having curtains for privacy or to prevent annoying others from light etc.

Close to station

Close to Termini train station.

The bed was very comfy Roommates were lovely and great to talk to Staff was friendly

No downsides, all was good

I loved the bar/dining room and the food they had. It was delicious to boot! The location was great and super close to the metro and train station. The square a block or so from the hostel had great coffee options.

The noise at times was a bit much, but they can’t really control that. My room was really stuffy and warm, but I had a window so I just opened it.

Location and staff

Staying in this hostel exceeded my expectations. The room was big and spacious. It had its own bathroom and toilet. The staff was super nice and helpful.

N/A

Location

Horible smell in the bathroom

Friendly staff and great location

Our room was very hot, fridges were broken but not cleaned out so very dirty and had food going off (no sign indicating they were broken)

Team is great and kind and with a sense of humor

The bathroom door was broken, so only one of the two bathrooms was usable. The hair dryer is from the last century and barely blowing the air

The place is close to a subway station, which makes it easier in cases of starting or ending the day of tour.

The reception was average, there was a polite and receptive employee, but there was also a very rude employee. The place does not have many facilities, charges to leave suitcases, the laundry does not work at the mentioned time and does not have ease of use.

Location, friendly staff

The locker price is too expensive It was 10€ for 24hrs (6€for 6 hrs) I stayed in another hostel with the same locker system and it’s just 4€ for 24hrs..

The rooms and beds were comfortable and staff was really friendly and helpful.

The outside area was little sketchy not nice as solo woman, the rooms were also very cold but they turned the temperature up and provided extra blanket when asked. Would also be nice if bar was open for longer.

Big rooms, bar & food available.

Sketchy neighborhood, not good at night. Rooms & bathroom not cleaned enough. Expensive for what you get.

The room was really clean, well equipped and a great size

The location did not feel very safe when walking through it during the day

Overall room was ok location was great. Staff was nice and hotel bar was very good nearby very good locations on walk distance to visit and train station was very near. Highly recomended for solo traveller.

i like all the things.

Location is close to Termini. Room is spacious.

The room is very dusty.

Large and spacious rooms. Also it was great that each shared dorm has its own bathroom inside the room - very convenient.

No complaints.

Friendly staff, clean, comfortable room

Felt expensive location quite a walk from historic centre but great travel links Towel hire also felt a little high

The location is very accessible.

For me as a single guest not really fit to stay in a shared room together with other different Guests. One of my roommates, every night always with hard coughing repeatedly and it's annoying. Needs options or selections for Breakfast amounted to 8 Euro.

That is so close to the Termini station and also there's another metro app right in front. I was able to walk to the main attractions by foot.

Not their fault, but I chose to stay over new years eve and opted for a mixed dorm, two guys arrived back after partying at 7am and one of them came to wake me up twice trying to speak to me while sitting on my bunk!! The other thing is also not their fault, but they had very messy guests.. When i first arrived, the bathrooms were very dirty, full of hair on the floor etc. but later housekeeping came to clean up and then it was ok. Lastly, especially for the mixed dorms i highly recommend bathroom doors that lock! Please.

Not to far in the termini

Nice and cool

When I had gotten to bed there was someone’s used underwear in one of the see through mesh holders that hold your stuff. It was pretty disgusting
