Convenient, with helpful staff”

A very comfortable stay in a friendly establishment. There didn't seem to be many attractions in the area but the hostel was conveniently located for trains and buses, with a station just moments from the hostel. The bar was cosy and fun and the garden was pleasant. My only gripe was that the key cards seemed to stop working and I was constantly having to get mine replaced. Other than that, it was a great stay and I would certainly recommend a visit.

Hey there, Thank you so much for your positive review. The only thing I can advise our guests about the key stop working is not to store it next to a mobile phone or other magnetic cards.

Good location, close to the train station, a supermarket and a number of food choices nearby. Room and bathroom was small but clean. The elevator was really slow so we usually took the stairs; but if you are at a higher floor or are bringing luggage you have to queue around for a bit. Overall a good stay.

Cheap but low quality ”

I have stayed at generator hostels in Venice and Copenhagen, which had been great experiences, and was happy to save a buck booking Generator Prenzlauer Berg when I needed accommodation in my old hometown. Log story short: Disappointing. It’s a huge complex that was full up to the brim with guests. The durable materials used (often metal) and the lack of colours give it the feel of a prison. The carpets are worn out. Most annoying was the lack of hygiene. The toilets were filthy. I saw people coming in who had obviously been going from level to level in search of a usable toilet. The stalls were so small, people had to open the doors to get up from the toilets. It was hot in the rooms, no AC. The curtains didn’t really blot out the light, so I was awake at 6. Then again it was getting too hot to sleep anyway. Everything is designed to minimise any work for the few staff. There isn’t even a tray you could put your soap on in the showers. Given this “economic” business model and the high demand, this place must be a money printing machine. Just don’t expect the great atmosphere and relative luxury of other generator hostels. This place should be called de-generator.

Worst Experience ”

The room was extremely smelly despite having the windows open. Nobody mentioned at the check in that you had to use your key card to get the elevator working. When I said that nobody mentioned it she replied with “you didn’t ask”. At 1am the security guy just came into our room while all 8 people were sleeping and talked with an extremely loud voice that someone apparently didn’t close our door properly?!? Was that really necessary at 1am?? He was so loud and woke up everyone and kept on chit chatting!! no common sense at all!!

Toilets terrible ”

The dorm room itself was okay, although it could have benefited from having privacy curtains for the bed, as there were none. What made the stay so unpleasant were the bathrooms, the shower stalls don't have a hook or small table inside to hang your stuff and toiletries, you have to hang it outside and possibly flash anyone outside everytime you have to get something from your bag or get the towel. So curtains were very flimsy, and for some reason had jagged

Acceptable”

Ok for the money but the bathrooms and toilets are worst I have seen and are combined for the whole floor. There is no door for the bathrooms just curtains. I had booked it for two days but left after 1st night spending there. Better would be to rent mixed 4 or 6 bed dorm with a toilet and bathroom inside the room.

Worst night manger Who shocked my value”

My bed did not have mattress protector and full of hair on the first day checked in. I talked to the night manager there, she told me that it is how it’s supposed to be. I stayed there for 15 nights straight, people comes and goes. All beds are made properly. One thing I don’t like is they were trying to convince me that my bed is the right thing to do. All other beds are the mistakes. Shocked me at reception and I was speechless. Eyes open , lies come out. Made mistake, didn’t admit it and tried to convince u…

Bug in the bed”

I stayed for two nights, and There were bugs in the bed. It was first time for me to get bite, but I can surely tell its bugs. Cleaning staff doesn’t care much about each beds, and also the toilet in the common space. I know it was a busy time for the hotels, but so many stuck toilets and bed with bugs are genuinely not what you wanna experience. Quit it. Find an air b&b.

Dear Recep, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that you weren´t satisfied with your experience with us. As a returning guest we´ve always tried to accommodate your wishes, for instance by offering you upgrades free of charge whenever possible. However, as we´ve mention to you personally, if you would like to sleep alone you should book a private room as dormitories are meant for more than one person, and as long as everyone´s complying with the health measures we do not discriminate between nationalities or social status. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Generator PB Team

Dear Tom, I am disappointed to read that you found the reception staff rude. I suspect this reaction is a result of being refused at check-in because your vaccination status was not compliant with the regulations in force in Berlin. We can only accommodate people who have been fully vaccinated or recovered. Feedback from our guests is extremely important to us as it helps us improve our services however, unfortunately this comment from you is not feedback nor a review. with these points in mind, I kindly ask you to remove it.

Major love!”

Generator Hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed so far. It is well located, within walking distance to the tram as well as the train to the airport. The staff is very friendly, I remembered him telling us that he has been to Kuala Lumpur before and we chatted with him like we've known him for a long time! The breakfast spread was decent. Overall, a very pleasant experience. We would love to stay here again when we go to Berlin!
