Generator Paris

We had a great stay at the Generator Hostel! One of the best parts of the hostel were that it had air conditioning within the rooms that could be changed, which was incredible considering the weather outside! The rooms were also very nice and clean when we first got there. The bathroom and shower are two separate rooms and the sink is near the entrance of the room as well so multiple things can be happening at once. The rest of the building is nice as well, and the building has 4 elevators, which makes moving luggage so much easier. There is also a café by the entrance with good food. Overall , this was a great hostel experience and I would highly recommend it!

Knowing that I paid €50/night for a 10 bed dorm, I would have expected more. Luggage room which required payment for guests by the hour in lockers. Room smelt of cigarette smoke and was unpleasant. No shared common spaces. Overpriced bars and poor atmosphere. No outside food, so they can charge you even more? Shower with black mould in all corners and a broken fan. Empty and broken soap dispensers in both shower and sink. Nothing but a money making exercise, more focused on monetising your visit than basic hygiene and visitor experience. Take your business elsewhere in Paris this is not where you want to stay.

There were enough things I didn't enjoy about this hostel that I would've given a three star rating if it weren't for the great people at the front desk, especially Sophie. In everything, she was a pleasure to deal with. However, the room was pretty dirty and there were several food items which had been sitting around since before anyone currently in the room arrived. The common bathrooms on each floor also smelled rank, with most of the stalls being locked for some reason (no one was inside).

Rooms are really good, besides the black mould all over the bathroom ceiling and the thick dust sitting on the aircon vents, I'm convinced this has made me I'll, due to the vent right next to my head. Other than the health issues mentioned above the hostel was nice, good rooftop bar, ashamed it closed at 10pm. Cafe was a good chill out spot. Location could have been better, not near any of the major attractions.

I really enjoyed my stay in Paris. Location was really good. The metro is just in front of the Hostel. I saw a beautiful sunset at the rooftop. The front desk staff was amazingly friendly, specially Sophie. She took the time to answer all my questions with a big smile. The rooms are very specious and very clean. Cleaning staff was very friendly as well. I really recommend this place while you're in Paris.
