Construction outside and singing under my window until 2, homeless people and pandhandlers close, a shower that didn’t seal water in so it flooded the floor, poor hallway lighting, cleaner who went into my room before checkout without knocking. It was a cute room and clean enough but I wouldn’t stay in this area again. If you are a student with a group it would be fine but not for the solo traveller.

My friends and I, stayed at both Berlin and Paris Generator within the same week. Paris location was the quite dirty, the sheets were not very well cleaned and the whole room was caked in dust. Both the bunks at the Paris and Berlin location had gum stuck to it and the walls. All the shower heads were broken in the women’s bathrooms and the temperature was barely even lukewarm. We also noticed mold in the showers. There was chairs and a bench in the room all were broken and could not be used. The Berlin location was a bit cleaner than Paris and the bathrooms provided what needed be, although didn’t have hooks to hang towels on. For the amount of money you have to pay for amenities at both locations, it seems as if all the money goes into keeping the bar open and not the uncleanliness of the place. The cleaners only came to change bedsheets did not even clean the floor or wipe down any surfaces. The previous person that had just checked out of our dorm had left some trash in the room. we expected the cleaners to take it, to our surprise we came back and the trash was still there. The whole hostel honestly feels like a summer camp for tweens/ teenagers. In both locations there were constant teenagers running around being rude and screaming during night hours. Staying at a hostel you expect there to be adults. If you are not fond of tweens/ teenagers I do not recommend this place. Do not recommend.

We stayed here for five nights. We tried to get the hair dryer but it was always unavailable. The front desk told us that we need to wait til someone return it. We weren’t able to get the hair dryer at all during our stay. I think the property should prepare enough hair dryer in each room.

Stayed here in June 2025 with my son. There are hundreds of dead bugs inside the light fixture (picture included). The window is paper thin and you can hear all the noise from outside. Bring your own pillows and blankets they don’t provide much. The hotel itself is located in a lower income area, lots of young people and had the air of a party place, not the in did place to bring. Your family. No room cleaning. This is a 1.5 star hotel, really the bare minimum provided. The place seems more like a hostel than a hotel. Not a good place.
