Review of Generator Hostels Hamburg GmbH

4 years ago

I was in a 6-bed room.

I was in a 6-bed room.

Postive:
+ The lockable boxes (- need extra small padlock, in the hostel from 3 ) under the beds are lying and large, so you get almost everything without problems.
+ The check-in is impressive uncomplicated and self-explanatory, if you have already booked.
+ The comforters are stowed in the boxes under the beds ready to use, so you do not have to get them yourself. At the check-out you do not have to drag them to the front desk as in some other hostel.
+ The price for the nearby location at the main train station is just perfect and you can always get back there without any complications.
+ Who likes it: There is a bar and in the evening there were sometimes small bands here.
+ Plenty of space and pleasant atmosphere in the entrance area and the overlying relaxation area with plenty of seating.
+ uncomplicated WiFi access
+ The beds have USB outlets and regular outlets just above the headboard
+ 3 computers with free internet connection are in the entrance hall

BETWEEN:
+ 2 elevators ...
- ... one of which got stuck for a while.
+ separate shower and toilet per room ...
- (see below).

NEGATIVE:
- The shower is the closest I've ever seen. This is probably because it was installed in a kind of large plastic box, as originally no separate room in the rooms was designed for this purpose. Correspondingly narrow and noisy are these mini-remedies. Showering becomes a challenge! Approximately 60 cm wide, so nothing for people with claustrophobia. Have no, but can imagine that it can cause problems.
- Beds are not suitable for tall people, I was literally still in the frame with a rather normal height of 1.75 m. This should at least be pointed out somewhere I think, because that can be a real problem. About 1.90 m height you hardly need to dare to the hostel. (at least in a 6 bed room, others I have not seen)

CONCLUSION
Uncomplicated hostel with overall pleasant atmosphere. However critical for people with a height over 1.90 m and certainly nothing for those with claustrophobia (shower & toilet).
