Room was laughably not as described. The room booked for a quad was so tight and small, there was barely any room for four people to stand or their suitcases to be opened. The beds were tiny and cracks in the ceiling. When I upgraded the room to an 8 person, in the new room, there was some unusual substance (gross) sprayed all over the curtain.

For the price, in Paris, it’s well worth any inconvenience. Best part was a good locker room, for a fee.
My biggest complaint is that there is no kitchen for guests. There’s a restaurant on site where you must purchase food, and you’re not allowed to bring your own food into the building unless you eat it in the *smoking courtyard* (even when the restaurant kitchen is closed). There are very few restaurants open late in the neighborhood. I was hungry at 10pm after traveling halfway around the world and was told to sit and eat my take away in a smoky courtyard. Hated it.

Upon arrival the staff were nice and they have an area to leave your luggage if you arrive before check in time. However we had two rooms and they were awful, broken shower doors, broken switches, broken headboards, lights not working, windows don’t shut all the way, super noisy especially if you’re on the front side of the hotel by main road, doesn’t feel safe either as soon as you step outside the doors of the hotel. Staff were nice throughout the stay but the hotel was awful

I always try to stay here whenever I am in Paris. This time I had a single room with a balcony and a bath which I highly recommend.

Great location and easy to get around during the Olympics! It was very expensive for what it is during the games!

A primary staff member at the desk, white man with thin brown hair and a beard tried to double charge me for a towel and denied me a room change when the AC broke (yet someone else gave me the room instantly.) He said there weren’t any left which was a lie because the next time I asked a woman gave me a choice of 3 spots. Watch out for him! He was also rude and unhelpful to my friends as well.

It´s not close to the city center and it's around a little bit sketchy area but this is a top quality hostel, perhaps the best hostel i've ever been.

I always stay here and enjoy it. The staff are helpful and are very pleasant at all hours of the night. Security is very serious about who enters at various times of the night. This time the bathrooms weren’t cleaned as frequently as they are given that it was the Olympics and I believe they’re beginning to rent to local homeless people which may long term become problematic when it’s a shared dorm space as people horde and become territorial about the shared spaces including the bathroom. I guess generator Paris hasn’t figured out a way around this issue yer.

Nice affordable hostel, questioned if the air con was working at times but overall nice stay. Note that there are no cooking facilities here and nowhere to really eat outside food either.

This is a very nice hostel, located with easy access from Gar de l'Est and Metro. Beds maybe not super comfy, but good enough for us, a family of four. Staff very helpful, as I managed to de-magnetize our room keys three times...
And the rooftop bar in the evening sun is great!

No towels in the bathroom when we arrived, empty shower gel and shampoo dispensers, broken A/C so we had to leave the window open and dealt with mosquitoes and loud noises in the street. Avoid if you can.
Nice decoration, vibe and receptionists.

A fairly stylish hostel but let down in several areas. I've stayed in 2 other Generator hostels and this was the lowest quality of the 3. The area is quite rough, the facilities are a bit worn out or in need of maintenance (e.g. the 1 and only iron was broken), and the Chill Out zone / Mezzanine has been closed and turned into an event space. The rooftop bar is a nice touch though. I'd stay here again but would lower my expectations compared to other Generation hostels.

All of the services you would expect including towels and luggage cabinets were extra priced.
There were no soaps, shampoos.
The shower gel was empty.
I could not sleep well because there were almost no sound-proof.
Except all of the extra prices, the bed itself and the interior of the hostel was nice.
But, I would rather sleep in a cheap hotel because the price of the hostel itself and other services combined are similar to the price of the cheap hotel.
1.5
Reception and Bar/Café staff were very friendly.
Could do with much more cleaning, particularly the floors where the rooms are located, as well as the bathrooms.
Despite being situated in a busy area, it was quiet.. Couldn't hear the traffic or any noise from the streets.

I chose this property because I stayed here back in 2022 with a tour group. I love that the metro station is literally right there. Easy access. There's a mini market right next door and cafe/restaurant. The staff was very friendly. Theres a bar and music inside the hotel. Unfortunately, the roof top was closed. We stayed in a 10 bed room as we planned to only sleep at night we didn't really care about space. The room had 2 showers and 2 sinks which was awesome. We unfortunately had 2 roomates who legit stank like underarm sweat and feet. The room stank like that the entire stay.
