    The location of the hotel is very convenient, being close to the city center and easily accessible by tram.

    One downside is that the laundry service can be unreliable and frustrating.

    Great spot for young families. Clean, modern, and spacious rooms. Fantastic downstairs lounge area with a bar and restaurant. Good wifi for staying connected. Conveniently located next to tram and bus stops. Excellent security at the entrance. Nearby restaurants and cafes offer affordable options for breakfast and dinner.

    Staff made us feel extremely welcome, nothing was too much trouble.

    Excellent location, reasonable price. Nice bar downstairs, billiards, TVs, always crowded.

    The rooms are very small, just for sleeping. There's not even a table. The towels are paid for.

    The price is absolutely pocket friendly, free wifi and a pub

    Staying second floor and the shared toilet is at the floor. I think toilets are part of our basic needs so we should have them nearby just incase ;)

    Great hostel. Loved the bar and common areas. My eight bed dorm was fine, it just seemed to get a bit stuffy as the night went on. Breakfast was worth the little bit extra too.

    We booked a room at Generator for our first hostel experience during a flight stopover. The location was perfect, just a short walk to all the tourist spots. Our room with 3 bunk beds and a private bathroom was clean and comfortable. The value for money was incredible, with spacious rooms and a laid-back vibe. The staff and guests were approachable, and the food from the café was delicious and affordable. The bar had a great selection of drinks at standard or lower prices. Can't wait to come back!

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    Facilities (bar, lounge, dining) were awesome, the staff was very helpful and polite. The location is walking distance from anywhere in dublin. There is a free tour of dublin pick up rep that stops by the Hotel every morning, check with the front desk about times. You can take the Airlink from the Airport to get dropped off by the hostel

    The restrooms are on the another floor and you might want to bring some shower shoes!

    Lobby looks like a hotel Apart from the stuffy air, rooms are very comfortable, modern and clean Safety boxes inside the rooms are convenient and safe Great bathrooms, clean and modern Nice bar chill out area

    Air in the rooms can get very stuffy, since windows are small and dont open up very far. Ask for air refresher. Not all staff members are very friendly. Even though at only 4 Euros, breakfast choice is pretty limited. Wifi was pretty slow at times.
