Ashley

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
By far the least clean hostel I've stayed in. Floors in the roomwere not fully swept or mopped daily. carpet in hallway not vaccumed and you could visibly see things on the carpet that needed vaccummed . Our bathroom was an accessible room with toilet and shower, everything would get wet and be slippery/unsafe. The door to the bathroom would lock you out and we had to keep getting housekeeping to unlock it. the additional bathroom and showers on floor 3 were closed because the lights weren't working. I tried the additional bathrooms on floor 2 and 4 and they were also closed, staff told us to go up to floor 5. I was in a mixed dorm and had no where to change and would go to the basement to use the bathroom. .

Staff was friendly and check in very smooth. As a solo older traveler, I found it welcoming. The rooms were spacious, clean and with bathrooms and showers connected. Very convenient layout. The location is close to metro station just 2 stops from Plaza Catalunya. I would recommend this hostel!

Good hotel! Only issue was the AC, it was not on, but I went downstairs to ask them to turn it on remotely (it was locked) and they did. Bed was comfortable. ¡Buen hotel! El único problema fue el aire acondicionado; no estaba encendido, pero bajé a pedirles que lo encendieran a distancia (estaba cerrado) y lo hicieron. La cama era cómoda.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
It was okay. For the price I think they should provide a towel and a lock or at least have free locker storage, but you had to pay for everything. I also didn’t like the storage under the beds, you have to get on your hands and knees every time and it took up way too much space. Cleanliness was okay, but they never clean in between. Kinda depends on your roommates. I also wish the bar was open more? But the location was great. Vibe was okay

I have stayed in many Generators (7 to be precise) and this is the worst of them all due to the nonchalant ways of most staffs. I had no power through my bed (unable to use the light or charge my phone) and on my way out (early morning) made them aware of it. Come to find out request was submitted to maintenance at 6pm when they close at 5pm. No empathy displayed- they made me feel like I was a non paying customer 😏. From the security guy to front desk personnel they were very unbothered unconcerned
