Brilliant location, right by the HBF
Really good vibe at the hostel, good bar, staff super friendly and helpful.

Always felt safe and secure.

arrived from a very long trip with no available towels to use. crowded place with lots of homeless people around the area. not safe to go out especially at night. the upside only is that the train station is just right across of this hotel.

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.

8/10 Very good
The place was really nice and beds were confortable, relatively quiet inside and the people there was nice and respectful. It was very convenient that the main train station is across the street. Although I like the concept of separating the shower and toilet in the room, but it was very small and tight and was hard to change in them.

Happy in Hamburg
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

2/10 Poor
What did go well actually! First room they checked me in the locker was broken, second one smelled sooo bad and the pillow and sheets were on the bed and used(not in locker), third room smelled even worse and the toulet was filthy I almost threw up in the room! Then the only option left for me was to pay around 16 Euros as suggested by the receptionist to get a different room! Worse experience I have ever had in my life, never again to stay at Generator Hamburg
