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.

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.

Can do much better
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.

Nice for a hostel, but overpriced.
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.

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.
