Generator Hamburg

The Internet didn't work, and they say here a free coupon for breakfast. Now be happy, and sorry for the inconvenience two days without Internet. Sad

Ideal für eine Nacht in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Hauptbahnhof, und damit ein kürzerer Fußweg zum Flughafen (mit der S-Bahn) als bei einem Airport-Hotel. Wir hatten ein sehr sauberes Zweibettzimmer mit winzigem, doch funktionalen eigenem Badezimmer. Dank guter Isolierung sehr leise. Die Eingangssituation ist sehr unbefriedigend - von der Straße aus gehen 6 Stufen hoch, dir mit schweren Koffern ein echtes Hindernis darstellen. Dann steht man vor einer Tür, die nach außen öffnet - man kann also nicht direkt mit den Koffern rein. Am Abreisetag waren beide Aufzüge außer Betrieb, zum Glück hatten wir ein Zimmer im ersten Stock. Den Hinweis auf die defekten Aufzüge hat der Mann am Schalter nur schulterzuckend zur Kenntnis genommen. Alles in allem ok, für den Preis unschlagbar. Wir würden wieder dort nächtigen.

5 min walk from Hamburg Central bus & train stations. Super clean, super freindly. Twin room was great, private bathroom a bit on small size if a big unit. Location great for getting about, but given where it is, can be a little noisy and on the rough side (had no issues but could be a bit intimidating for those not used to inner city going ons). Bar on site was great, super helpful staff, would definitely stay again

Be ready to spend vacation waiting for the elevator, only one small elevator for 3 thin persons for a 7 floor building

Overall Generator is a good stay for the money, clean rooms and a decent size, with amenities you’d need. There are a few set backs however. Mainly it’s a hostile for kids, and they check in and out by the masses. So the front desk is nearly always busy and if you don’t want to wait on a long line you’re better off figuring things out yourself. I was at the hotel for 8 days and they don’t clean the rooms, even when I asked the cleaners on my floor. They said they only clean when there is a check out, otherwise I have to speak to the front desk, and I already described how long that takes. They also have only 2 small elevators for hundreds, possibly a thousand guests. The area directly outside isn’t great. It is however, super convenient because all the trains you can need are across the street. A good stay, but not perfect.

Énormément de clients donc personnel à l'accueil pas très accueillant et peu propice à parler allemand avec les étrangers. Hébergement budget donc malheureusement clients bruyants. Zones de travaux (pour "décontamination") mal sécurisée car les portes n'étaient pas verrouillées voire même grandes ouvertes. Aucune indication au rez-de-chaussée pour se diriger vers sa chambre sans devoir traverser la zone de travaux au 2e étage. Cela est pourtant possible, si au moins cela était indiqué...

It was a great experience! the location of the hostel is perfect so close to the train station and many great restaurants. The available lockers to leave you baggage for a small fee were also very convenient after checkout!

The hostel is excellent and just a few steps from Hamburg HBF. The storage space is very convenient and easy to access. The staff is very supportive.

部屋もきれいだし、シャワー/トイレは各部屋ごとだしで、基本的には不満はありませんでした。 外がうるさいとのレビューがありましたが、部屋によるかもしれません。 僕が泊まった6階の部屋は特にうるさいと感じませんでした。 一方で、ホステル付近はイスラム系の人々が集まる繁華街が近いため、2階、3階とかだとうるさく感じるかもしれません。 ランドリーは一応あるには有りました。 洗濯、乾燥でそれぞれ5€とのことでした。 キッチンは無いので、ご飯は外から調達するしかありません。

The Generator hostel is across the road from the train station which was very convenient for us. Check in was slow as there we many people checking in at the same time, rooms are small but clean, bathroom is tiny but still useable. Breakfast was 9 euro, there are laundry facilities for 6 euro. There are plenty of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. For our 1 night stay this hostel is perfect

Fint hostel. Meget rimelig pris Det ligger meget centralt dog er området nok ikke det mest sikre. Rengøring helt i top og ja personale flinke og alt gik hurtigt ved check ind.

Alt på hostelet fremstod pænt og rent. Der var til hver seng på værelset en rummelig og aflåselig bedroller. Det var dejligt, når nu man skulle dele værelset med andre. Toilettet og badeværelset var meget små. Morgenmaden var billig, men også meget simpel. Der var gode faciliteter, og især var det dejligt, at der i lobbyen var strømstik alle vegne, hvilket gjorde det muligt at sidde og arbejde eller lave andre ting med sin telefon eller computer. Personalet var venligt og gav god service. Dog var jeg ude for, at der på et tidspunkt var meget lang ventetid, fordi der kun var en person i receptionen, som både skulle lave kaffe og bruge lang til på en enkelt gæsts udfordring. Hostelet har en virkelig god beliggenhed lige ved siden af Hovedbanegården, og med nedgang til U-Bahn under 100 meget fra hostelets indgang. Det gav også lidt uro om natten, men ikke så det forstyrrede min nattesøvn.

Simple room, ok and clean

Badezimmer verschimmelt, es war sehr laut und die Zimmer sehr klein

Das Zimmer war einfach eingerichtet und für eine Person genügend groß. Das Bad war sehr klein, leider auch nicht ganz sauber. Das Frühstück war okay, das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft liegt nahe am Hauptbahnhof: gute ÖPV-Anbindung, aber laute und schmuddelige Umgebung.

Overall ok/good experience! Would probably not book again in the first place but if it’s the cheapest alternative I would pick it. We had a double room and it was fairly clean. The bathroom needed a thorough scrub though. The shower curtain was pretty nasty and there were dust and grease in the corners. The room itself was good though! A bit worn out but good. We couldn’t check in until 14:30 because our room wasn’t ready. The staff member in the reception said they’d call on us when it was ready. But then we waited and the staff member got off their shift and when we asked the other staff they said they could get us another room that was ready. Would’ve liked them to be a bit clearer in their communication and we would’ve liked some sort of compensation. There were often some sketchy people in the reception, probably some people staying there but it was unclear. Some were clearly intoxicated and we felt a bit uncomfortable just walking past them.

Luktar mögel ifrån badrummet. Världens minsta badrum. Dessutom ser hela hotellet slitet ut. Hyllorna med dekor på rummet är dammiga och sängkläderna har fläckar. Annars en okej säng att sova i dock hörs grannar i korridoren. Vi bokade detta akut då vårat tåg blev försenat och vi var tvungna att övernatta i Hamburg. Bra pris för att vara nära tågcentralen men inget ställe du vill återkomma till.

Nice helpful staff and good clean basic accommodation. It was a very quick stay between trains so we didn't get to spend any time in the communal areas.

Sehr zwecksbezogen. Personal spricht hauptsächlich englisch. Nicht sehr sauber. Mehrbettzimmer werden nur alle fünf Tage gereinigt... Frühstück nicht sehr umfangreich und unhygienisch.

The bathrooms are teeny tiny.

Good place to stay for a short while. Bathroom/shower were extremely small- smaller than what you’d find on a cruise ship.

It was super hot in the rooms.

Unser Zimmer war winzig und das darin enthaltenen Bad noch winziger. Entsprechend einer Nasszelle im Wohnmobil. Insgesamt war es im ganzen Haus recht heruntergekommen und unglaublich warm und stickig.

My stay was alright. I would probably stay here again because the location was super convenient and the beds were comfortable, but there were a few things that definitely bothered me. For starters, the window in the room was locked and all six of us had a hard time sleeping because of the humidity. We told reception about it, but the second time, they said they didn’t have a key and couldn’t do anything. We found a fan in the corner of the room and put it on the highest setting, but it didn’t help since there was nowhere for the hot air to go. The next day, housekeeping came in and unlocked it after they walked in and immediately noticed how hot the room was. Another thing was I stayed for three nights, and I’m pretty sure the shower was only cleaned one time. It wouldn’t have bothered me as much if I had room to shower and not brush up against the walls any time I moved. However, the shower and the toilet were both tiny, like portable units they just set in the room? They do have a single communal bathroom on each floor with a larger shower (which they don’t tell you about), but I had to use one on a different floor because mine was closed for construction. Also this is minor, but they definitely don’t update their event posters hanging outside the elevators on the ground floor (just around the corner from reception). Don’t expect there to be any events or specials in the bar as advertised because none of the staff had any clue what I meant when I asked about the poser.

Das Deluxe-Zweibettzimmer ist schön gestaltet und hat einen großen Flachbildfernseher, aber ohne deutsche Privatsender wie SAT1, PRO7, ..., ist teilweise etwas beengt und hat als Badezimmer eine Mininasszelle. Leider fehlt dem schönen, großen Fenster aber jeglicher Schallschutz.

Bathroom too small Other is fine for me Location ia good 2mins walk to train station

Double room is small, but clean with a decent bed. Bathroom is very small. Overall good value for the price and location. 24/7 reception is a plus.

I was solo traveling alone and this place seemed like a good place. Just keep in mind that there’s so air conditioning.

The room was extremely small. Not even enough space to open the luggage.

Det stora plusset var närheten till järnvägsstationen. Hotelldelen låg ihop med vandrarhems delen, vilket var lite störande. Tydlig ungdomsprägel. Trevlig personal.

Fantastic modern hostel with friendly staff and great facilities. They were very helpful after my late arrival due to a flight cancellation. The surrounding area is a little rough, but once you move away from the train station it gets better. Rooms were surprisingly quiet too!

There was a wait at both check in and check out, they needed more staff on shift. The bar closed quite early. The bathroom was very small, and the water wasn't that hot.

Great hostel with a nice breakfast buffet option. Right next to the subway and train station. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay here again.

Exactly as expected. Friendly staff and environment

La situation Géographique est bien, a côté de la gare avec une multitude de de transports. Seulement le coin est dangereux avec toute les personnes qui se drogues, les pickpocket etc. L’hébergement en lui même, je n’ai pas aimé la douche qui est fixé au mur. J’ai vraiment eu du mal à bien me doucher et a doucher mon fils. Sinin le reste est correct

Near Train Station and Metro Very Central to tourist sites

Close to train station, many choices of dinning, easy access to public transportation. Noisy and crowded city center, be aware if you mind it. The noise of night pub on Saturday can tear the ceiling off, don’t choose this if you’re light sleeper.

This hostel is right next to the train station so it’s very convenient for travel. The area is a little chaotic but very typical for areas around train stations. The room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the facilities were decent. Was able to utilize the laundry room and the bar area. The bathroom was super tiny and smelled a bit like sewage but totally fine for a night or two. There is a popular shopping area nearby and we were able to visit the Christmas markets.

Okay rooms. Not very tidy - same goes for the lobby. Area felt a little unsafe at times but still good location and close to city center and all public transport

Die Lage ist top direkt vom Hauptbahnhof gegenüber, aber die Umgebung ist dreckig und viel zu viele junkys. Mit Kinder nicht empfehlenswert. Ich als Frau habe mich da unwohl gefühlt und man wurde von jeder Ecke angemacht. Hatte etwas Glück das meine Freunde mich immer zum Hotel dann begleitet haben. Der nette Mitarbeiter am Check Inn war super. Hatte ein Einzelzimmer gebucht es ist klein und praktisch man hat alles nötige drin, einen Kühlschrank sollte man nicht erwarten. Zudem bin ich mit meinem Hund gereist wo ich nur 25€ extra zahlen musste. Badezimmer sind sehr klein. Für längere Aufenthalte würde ich es nicht empfehlen.

Perfect location next to the main station meaning close to everything. That being said, the noise level outside of the hostel it's therefore high.

The hostel is excellent and just a few steps from Hamburg HBF. The storage space is very convenient and easy to access. The staff is very supportive.

Dejligt sted rent og pænt overalt , De ansatte var venlige og smilende Så ja kommer meget gerne igen Trods den lidt sparsomme morgenmad.. kunne være lidt mere spændende.. men tager intet fra helheds oplevelsen

Positivt: veldig nær togstasjonen. Mulighet for enkel og rimlig frokost som var bra for hostell til å være. Meget hyggelige personale. Rene senger. Enkel insjekk. God lås på rommet. Vi hadde 4mans rom. Vær derimot obs på: Noe skjemmende lukter på rommet. Ikke air con, noe som gjorde fukten og derav lukt etter dusj uutholdelige. Veldig slitent bad, her kan det forventes høyere standarder.

Hotel de excelente localização, a poucos passos da estação central de trem, com muitas opções de restaurantes, lojas, lazer. Café da manhã bom, com variedade razoável e preço acessível para tal. Hotel de categoria mais simples. Não sei como são as acomodações coletivas, mas a individual é ótima. Cama bem confortável, roupas de cama de ótima qualidade e limpeza impecável. Toalhas de banho de qualidade mediana. Banheiro bem pequeno. Oferecem sabonete líquido somente.

There was a wait at both check in and check out, they needed more staff on shift. The bar closed quite early. The bathroom was very small, and the water wasn't that hot.

super centralt Hotel/hostel, med en del gadelarm, da det er så centralt Meget små værelser , men da fokus er på hosteldelen og til unge mennesker er det ikke så velegnet til den lidt ældre målgruppe. Kvarteret er lidt råt, men man kan trygt gå rundt i gaderne og det ligger kun 100 meter fra banegården med mange butikker og 300 meter får Hamborgs gågader og centrum. Alt ialt får man hvad man betaler for og for unge mennesker et perfekt sted i forhold til at opleve bylivet. der er en god stemning på hotellet og god bar til unge mennesker. Morgenmaden var ikke noget at juble over, men til gengæld ikke dyrt.
