Generator Amsterdam - Hostel

I forgot my shoes irresponsibly in the luggage storage area. But, the innkeeper was able to save them and kindly gave them back to me. This place is homey, safe, and fair. I even paid extra for the breakfast out of my choice and enjoyed value for euro!

Generator Amsterdam is my favourite hotel. Love the location in Oosterpark, near the centre of the city. Breakfast is top and the staff is super friendly. See you next time 😉🙌

Was a good Hostel and pods are really fun. Just a couple things. The toilet roll situation was dire..its so weighted that you cant pull more than half a sheet before it rips. Its honestly a a really simple fix which adds so much to the comfort in the toilet. I encourage the staff to go number 2 to see what i mean. Very rude and hostile Irish guy at the bar who was making people feel unwelcome. Bad attitude and obviously how no idea about customer service.  Apart from that the stay was great.

It was a crazy and terrible experience, 0930am a man open the door without knocking, and said he is an Air conditioning repairman. But WE ARE LADIES!!! Luckily, we are not changing clothes. We go to front desk to complain and the manager just checking did we pay the dog fee at the first time. Obviously in the photo we just brought the cat in the hostel, but anyway we still paid while check-in. The manager is lack of respect and not care about the customer.

Generator is next to a Beautiful Park with may kind of tree, fresh and cool air.From the hotel to the Van Gogh museum is about 2 km. You can walk to see the city, it's also great. The hotel staff is friendly and the service is good. The breakfast is delicious. If i come here again, I sill choose it.😊😊😊😊😊

Having have stayed in multiple hostels across Europe and Asia, my experience at Generator Amsterdam was very much below average for multiple reasons: 1) Their Customers: They take in large school groups of teenagers who are chaotic, noisy and severely lack any forms of civic mindedness. I was rudely awoke one morning because the neighbouring dorm (full of teenagers) was blasting EDM music and dancing in their room. The common areas are just flooded with teenagers and there aren’t much calm areas to chill and relax in. 2) Their Rooms: This is my first hostel experience in which I had to make my own bed. Tell me, is this normal? I’ve paid for cheaper hostels before this and they make the bed at the very least. Moreover, they store these sheets in the lockers that you’ll be using later on to keep your baggage and items. It seemed absolutely gross to put the bedding items in this locker, especially when I observed that mine seemed quite unclean once I got the beddings out. I don’t understand what’s on the minds of the hostel operators!? My room also had poor ventilation and had a foul stench. 3) Their Staff: Were brash, unfriendly and seemed to hate their job, very drastic difference from other service staff I met at other hostels. 4) Their Location: Barely prime, but given the price I can’t comment much. Near tram stations but Amsterdam’s public transport is very expensive.
