Oh my gosh. If you can't sleep with big bright exit light, do not book it here. It is so bright that some of the others also lost some sleep. The hostel was nice enough to change bed for me once but it was still so horrible. I couldn't sleep at all.
Response from Property: Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear how much the brightness from the emergency exit light affected your sleep — that’s definitely not the restful stay we want for our guests. While these lights are required for safety, we understand how disruptive they can be, and we’re sorry that the room change didn’t provide enough relief.We appreciate your feedback and will look into what improvements can be made to help minimise the impact for future guests.Kind regards,Generator Dublin Team

Adequate place to stay at the right price. Upgraded from an 8-bed to 6-bed and check in via kiosk was relatively straightforward. The hostel itself is quite sizeable and the hallways can be easy to get lost in. We found the service from staff to be hit or miss, with many staff being friendly and accommodating while one staff member was exceptionally rude and abrupt with us and other guests too (despite having no complaint, just a simple request).
Response from Property: Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found our check-in process straightforward and appreciated the value and comfort of your stay.However, we’re truly sorry to learn that one of our team members did not meet the level of service we aim to provide. Please rest assured that we’ll address this internally to ensure all guests receive the friendly and professional service they deserve.We appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for a smoother experience next time.Kind regards,Generator Dublin Team

Good location, easy to walk around and good food places across the street. The pillows and showers were not something to be excited about. For the price it's alright.
Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed our central location and the nearby food options. We appreciate your comments regarding the pillows and showers and will take them into account as we work on improving our guest experience. We’re happy to hear you found the stay good value for the price and hope to welcome you again.

I made the check in around 12 mini and for my surprise the bed wash ready.
Need to do it middle of the night in the dark, to not disturb the other guests on the top bunker, big safety issue

Location was great and room was okay but it was very noisy in the night until late even though it was a normal working day. Room window was open due to warm weather so I couldn’t get a peaceful rest in the night.

Smells terrible in the room and the toilet is disgusting. Cramped beds. Worse compared to other Generator hostels I stayed with. The location was okay, walkable to city centre and coaches to the airport.
Response from Property: Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the room and bathroom — this is far from the standard we aim to provide, and we’ll be addressing this with our housekeeping team.We’re glad the location worked well for you, but we understand how the rest of the stay fell short. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to reach out to us directly — we’d appreciate the chance to make things right.Kind regards,Generator Dublin Team

The hostel is ok for a night, but keep in mind it is very loud as there is a bar in the lobby that goes on untill 11pm or later even on weekdays. And there is no quite place if you need to be on an online meeting - no kitchen or common room except for the reception/bar. Other than that, the room was quite fine. Several of the toilet doors were malfunctioning.
