Generator is a modern, clean and tidy hostel that is directly opposite the central rail station (Hauptbahnof). Every train passes through the central station so travel on the underground or overground is easy. The hostel itself is nice, reception and check-in is swift and multi-lingual which makes being a British ignoramus simple! Towels are not supplied but are available from... More

I stayed my fourth time in the Generator Hostel in Hamburg now. It is a safe and clean hostel with nice interior. As always the guests are the ones which aren't that clean, but luckily the cleaners do an amazing job. With its location at the central station it's only a few stops away from the Schanzenviertel and very close... More

My stay in this hostel was very pleasant. There is a great vibe in the place, there is a large bar which is a really fun place to hang out and chat to people from many different places. It is spotlessly clean, the beds are comfy and spacious. The location is superb right beside central station.The bad thing about this... More

This hostel is in an amazing location, right next door to the train station so you get really good transport links, The underground trains, taxi rank, regional trains and Sbahn trains. The hostel is also a stones throw (if you don't mind a short walk) from the town hall (Rathaus). For the price you can not say fairer, we were... More

The hostel is in a great location, right near the train station so really good transport links if you want to travel on the underground or by taxi.

The location is really good as it was right next to a huge train station so you can go anywhere you want basically. There are loads to eat and see at the train station too. (McD, Wok(Chinese), pastry shops, convenient stores etc..) We particularly appreciated that despite the fact that there was a bar on ground floor, we could not... More

First time in a hostel, so didn't know what to expect. Rooms were basic but clean, bar and reception area were excellent and open all night. If all you are looking for is a roof over your head, you won't go wrong here.

You know that saying, "You get what you pay for?" I definitely paid less and got more than I bargained for. I started my European trip in Hamburg and found this hostel to be the cheapest.
