Although I was in an 8 bed dorm with a youth group aged 11 to 14 I was not as surprised as they were when I moved in. As retired teacher I was used to children like them but they went quiet when I walked into the dorm. The youth leader tried to get me moved out but this was the only bottom bunk in the massive modern Generator Hostel.
As a parent I would be horrified to know that my children were in a hostel dorm with a stranger.
The hostel was close to the Landerburg Allee train, tram and bus stops.
I could even see the train station from the window but could not hear the trains

Rooms aren’t bad, good size and our a had a sink which was great. Bedding is limited and the pillows aren’t great. I would say it’s a pretty loud place. The train is right beside the building (although a plus side of being able to get downtown quick) The doors for all the rooms slam when closed so you hear that all day and night. I was hearing bangs and bumps above and below me as wall. Bring earplugs for sure.
Washrooms are clean and have lots of room, but they are oddly sized. You literally have to open the door to get up from the toilet. The showers have good pressure but are small as well.

The staff were atrocious. I was fined $500 for 'Smoking' - if smoking is classed as a drag of a vape pen and worth that amount then well.... I'm unsure what to say. The toilets and showers were a long walk. The noise at night from all the doors slamming shut was unbearable. In the end I got 'Banned' from the property, whilst very poorly and I feel they neglected their duty of care.

Big hotel & nice staff, whiling to help with their mess. Had to switch rooms 3 times because #1 was dirty with other people stuff still in there. #2 had hair on the bed, no curtains to block sun hitting us & floor was dirty but we could manage but the bathrooms on the floor had mold on shower curtains and floor and reeked of urine. Everything can be heard, ppl talking, in the hallway, playing music. They charge for everything towels, soap, shampoo etc. If u stay here get a private room with private bathroom!

still undergoing construction. long lines during check-in. i got double charge—my stay was already paid-for, but i got charged again. cold—there was no heat even though the weather had turned cold. the showers and toilet stalls are too small. one elevator was broken the entire week of my stay. the other elevator was incredibly slow. not only did housekeeping use the single elevator, but so did tue construction crew, which constantly moved equipment in and out. 3 of the 4 vending machines were broken. good location, though.

WORST GENERATOR EVER!
The Generator Hostels all across Europe are super good but beware of this one! The staff is super rude and doesn't listen to you, they are so racist and always finding a way to make your stay more and more uncomfortable, they always overbook the hostel, and then they keep you waiting for 12 12 hours!

Overall it was okay. Very good price for 3 nights in Berlin. We loved the free parking spot in front of the hostel. It was also very convenient to have the S-Bahn so close. We liked ensuite bathroom.But it was very loud at night because the room faced the side where the bar is. Also the doors are so heavy that you hear people entering and leaving their rooms. This woke us up very early and kept us up for the following hours.

Basic rooms but very clean and the staff were helpful. It's right next to a tram stop and metro stop so easy access into the centre of town. We stayed in a twin room which was very small but otherwise fine. Be warned that although the website says towels are provided in private room when we arrived staff at the desk informed us that they were only provided in some of the private rooms (?)

I had to make the beds as the linens were not even put under the mattresses in properly.Hand soap in the shower, normally special "all around" in Hamburg Generator. No soap at all for the hands (unless you reached for it in the shower)Other than that it was all good, the lobby was like Generator in Hamburg but did not get a chance to eat here sadly. Food looked good though. A little annoying with only 1 working elevator but thats what happens sometimes. Thanks.

Spot on for the price, a bed, a window, curtains a locked door and a place to shit, shower and brush your teeth. Highly recommended. There was even a hair dryer which was a bonus!! Location spot on literally 2 mins walk in to Landsberger Allee station which will take you anywhere in Berlin with ease.

We booked this hostel because of the New Years party a couple of hundred meters away. And we didn't have a lot of expectations. We just wanted a place to sleep. It worked out perfect. Would use it next time in Berlin as well.

My stay has not occurred because they took my money and canceled my staying because, even if it was “paid for and secured”, I arrived the next day.

It's a very basic hostel. The room is clean. The bathroom is outside the room and seems located in the middle of the every floor. So if your room is on the side of the floor, you may walk like 3 mins to the bathroom. There is no kitchen in this hostel. But there is a fast food restaurant cross the street. Also, the hostel is quit near the train station. In summary, it is fine for budgeted traveller.
