Guest Reviews
- Louise (6/5): - The pillows were incredibly uncomfortable.
- Promee (10/5): - Nothing to complain. The staff were extremely friendly and beds were comfortable. The only thing is that the toilets have a sewage smell and they’re not cleaned by housekeeping daily.
- Ugochukwu (10/5): - Great place
- Amandeep (4/5): - They checked me into a pre-occupied room with stuff in the locker, used beddings and extremely smelly washrooms. I got moved into a different room after I talked to the staff. Staff is friendly and helpful. My room’s locker was in the corner that I could not open it up all the way as it would hit the wall. Not very functional and extremely noisy to use. The breakfast buffet is not really a full buffet as they would only let you order the main breakfast dish once, which is also to pick one option out of 4/5.
- Maura (10/5): - Very nice hostel! Lovely staff, good facilities, great food, an amazing terrace and very clean.
- Nester (8/5): - One of the sheets smells like rat pee.
- Pavlos (4/5): - The double bed in the private room is awful -
- Kiem duc (6/5): - repairs on the front of facility and dirty road- no microwave- no area for eating or relaxing except for going to drink in the bar with pay, Bar upstairs has view of Sacre Coeur Church is a plus. Convenient to Metro and walking to Gare du Nord or take a short trip by bus
- Adam (10/5): - Great hostel.
- Ramon (2/5): - Everything looks like
- jose (2/5): - The information on this property was not clear. You have to fix the bed when you get there. I mean roll out the bed and put the bedding on it. The bathroom was really nasty and maintenence was call to clean it. A C was not working. There was no cold water on the shower. The environment around the hostel was Unsafe. My husband was asulted by a homeless
- Jake (10/5): - Nice area, easy and simple check in and great value
- Catherine (6/5): - Construction outside and singing under my window until 2, homeless people and pandhandlers close, a shower that didn’t seal water in so it flooded the floor, poor hallway lighting, cleaner who went into my room before checkout without knocking. It was a cute room and clean enough but I wouldn’t stay in this area again. If you are a student with a group it would be fine but not for the solo traveller.
- Jessica (6/5): - It’s ok
- bboy (8/5): Overall feedback - The bed was amazing, the room a bit stuffy. Toilets maybe can add refreshers. The food was amazing just more promotion will be good
- marisa (4/5): - My friends and I, stayed at both Berlin and Paris Generator within the same week. Paris location was the quite dirty, the sheets were not very well cleaned and the whole room was caked in dust. Both the bunks at the Paris and Berlin location had gum stuck to it and the walls. All the shower heads were broken in the women’s bathrooms and the temperature was barely even lukewarm. We also noticed mold in the showers. There was chairs and a bench in the room all were broken and could not be used. The Berlin location was a bit cleaner than Paris and the bathrooms provided what needed be, although didn’t have hooks to hang towels on. For the amount of money you have to pay for amenities at both locations, it seems as if all the money goes into keeping the bar open and not the uncleanliness of the place. The cleaners only came to change bedsheets did not even clean the floor or wipe down any surfaces. The previous person that had just checked out of our dorm had left some trash in the room. we expected the cleaners to take it, to our surprise we came back and the trash was still there. The whole hostel honestly feels like a summer camp for tweens/ teenagers. In both locations there were constant teenagers running around being rude and screaming during night hours. Staying at a hostel you expect there to be adults. If you are not fond of tweens/ teenagers I do not recommend this place. Do not recommend.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The view from the rooftop bar was amazing
- Johana (8/5): - Good
- Aleksandra (2/5): - Horrible place with horrible service. Had an emergency and these p or showed no concern
- Liway (6/5): - Good location. Facility is not clean. Room is average.
- Grace (6/5): - In the description of the property air conditioning is included, but the air in my room steadily ran and never cooled off. It was very hot. Only one window would open, so we couldn’t even get a nice breeze.
- Chih-Chi (6/5): - We stayed here for five nights. We tried to get the hair dryer but it was always unavailable. The front desk told us that we need to wait til someone return it. We weren’t able to get the hair dryer at all during our stay. I think the property should prepare enough hair dryer in each room.
- John (2/5): - Stayed here in June 2025 with my son. There are hundreds of dead bugs inside the light fixture (picture included). The window is paper thin and you can hear all the noise from outside. Bring your own pillows and blankets they don’t provide much. The hotel itself is located in a lower income area, lots of young people and had the air of a party place, not the in did place to bring. Your family. No room cleaning. This is a 1.5 star hotel, really the bare minimum provided. The place seems more like a hostel than a hotel. Not a good place.
- ho ming (8/5): - Chic
- Nathan (10/5): - Located close to the train station made traveling very convenient.
- Chukwuma (8/5): - Good overall
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very clean and comfortable. A soap dispenser was missing from the shower.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The staff are rude and not helpful
- Marlon (10/5): - Nice location close to Metro Station
- KAMAL (8/5): Unforgettable comfort and convenience - It was nice stay in France. Property is close to metro station. Property has cafe and bar facility.
- Jenny (4/5): - elevators not working- understandable. but they closed a stairwell and only told you at the bottom, so you had to walk back up to exit. this can’t be safe for fire hazard reasons. €7.50 to rent a towel.. that should not be the case. the rooftop was also closed for a private event which was a main reason why I booked
- Jane Watson (8/5): - Good suburb location in terms like London allow about 45 mins to get to most central attractions. Metropolitan metro line. Longer to Montmatre. Come up from station and look into the roundabout and you’ll see Generator curved to one side with neon letter front signage - approx 100m walk. There’s a boulangerie patisserie, bistro, pizza takeaway, small supermarket and pharmacy all around the same roundabout as well as 3 bistro restaurants (one is French). Rooftop was closed throughout the whole 7 days I stayed. Like the last Generator I stayed. Bed linen is changed every 5 days, but you can ask to swap towels at reception regularly. Unisex dorms only. Take flip flops as the boys pee and they don’t mop the floors and there are no bath mats/racks to stand on when you step out of showers. Lifts take a while as it’s a big place and was full of several school groups and many getting drunk. Massive hostel not far from the Saint Martin canal, modern and safe and rooms are quiet, but for other bunkers of course, so take ear plugs and eye mask as you should for any hostel :). Bar food until 10:30 in eve and one veggie option. Vending machines in reception. Laundry there too.
- Luis Sergio Faria (8/5): - Getting a good shower here was really hard. The water was either too hot or not hot at all. Location was good, nice neighborhood and a few meters across from a metro station. There is an option to buy a 9.50 eur breakfast, but they do not mention the default breakfast menu is included ij the room rate and that the 9.50 price is for an extra toast with scrambled eggs and bacon, a crepe, or a croissant.
- Valeria (10/5): - The hostel was very nice and clean. The staff was very kind. Location was pretty convenient.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Well located but very average stay - A well positioned hotel for exploring the city. Don’t be fooled by online photos, not especially accurate for our room. Beds were uncomfortable with metal bed frame slats that made the mattress slide around. We asked everyday for some fresh towels but never received any; excuse was either ‘someone will bring some’ or ‘we have run out and are expecting a delivery’. Food in the restaurant was average but very expensive. Drinks were ridiculously priced!!!
- Penelope (10/5): - Good location just a short walk from Gare du Nord and close to Metro stations. Staff welcoming and friendly. Convenient to have lockers for luggage as we arrived before check in and could leave stuff there for the day after check out. Had a twin room with private bathroom. Spotlessly clean
- Jeremy (8/5): - We stayed in a private room and private bathroom. It was great for a family of 7.
- Michael (10/5): - For the money this is a good option. The single and double rooms were a good size, clean and had everything you needed. For sure I would recommend it.
- Amit (4/5): - Overall the experience was okay, The staff was eager to help and the hotel location was good. The hotel kitchen had good food options. We did face issue with the heating of the room that we stayed in. It wasn’t working properly. The technician tried to fix the issue but I don’t think it worked because the issue persisted. We were to leave early next morning so we didn’t go back to complain for the third time. Everything else was okay.
- Mike (2/5): - Staff canceled my stay even though I messaged saying I’d arrive a day late. Room dirty with broken outlets beside bed where head goes. Serious electrical hazard
- LENAYA (2/5): Incredibly disappointing - 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.
- Sophie (4/5): - Cest un bel hôtel qui n’est malheureusement pas entretenu et qui a besoin de nombreux petits travaux d’entretien. Le ménage n’est pas fait quotidiennement. Très belle chambre, spacieuse mais manque d’entretien. Le personnel est très agréable, efficace et sympathique.
- Dennis (8/5): - Good place to stay
- Stephen (10/5): - Nice.
- Larochelle (8/5): - My room windows could not open to admit fresh air. With up to six sweaty bodies, some drenched in competing cologne fragrances, the room always smelled of animal musk. Not great for those averse or allergic to perfumes. Clean up you air.
- TRUNG (6/5): - When I checkin in the morning the heater not work and it was freezing inside the room. The other roomate told the receptionist the night before but they hadn't fixed it until the evening of my checkin. Anyway they let me checkin early so I gave 3 stars.
- Alan (8/5): - Decent hotel. Nothing fancy. But fine. Bit out the way of Paris centre, but metro station just across the road from hotel. Area outside busy, but safe. Shops and restaurants close by. Room was clean enough. Beds quite comfy. Shower quite poor tho. Either freezing cold or roasting hot. Food at hotel okay. Choose hotel as it was a cheaper option for us, get what you pay for. Wouldn’t rush back but would recommend.
- Yves (6/5): - La réception était débordée et très lent le service. Pas d’eau chaude à la chambre, pas de chauffage à la salle à manger
- Marque (10/5): - It’s kind of a nostalgic visit for me. There are so many great memories from here. From walking the sunset at night on the roof top to partying downstairs. And the staff is amazing.
- Mohamed Lamine (2/5): - Dirty
- Erick Ricardo (4/5): - Very bad service
- Nicole (10/5): - Very quiet and clean
- Kate (8/5): Don’t get hungry late at night - 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.
- yiu hung (4/5): - Need more improvement in management.
- Tiffany (10/5): - I've stayed here several times and it's always a good experience!
- Ruikun (4/5): - bad check in，wrong bed number
- Nickolas (2/5): - 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
- Rebecca (10/5): - 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.
- Robert (8/5): Great location! Very expensive during the Olympics - Great location and easy to get around during the Olympics! It was very expensive for what it is during the games!
- Simon (6/5): - 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.
- Deneyia (10/5): - 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.
- Fabrizio (10/5): - Loved it
- Jairo (6/5): - Great location
- Kaitlin Jean (8/5): - 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.
- Solange (8/5): - The breakfast was ok but could have more options in the buffet.
- Raymond (6/5): - Just alright, they do not provide towels and charge a lot for one
- Madeleine (6/5): - Quite grubby feeling and dark
- Anthony (4/5): 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.
- Lewis (6/5): - 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.
- Carla (10/5): - Desk staff is very nice. Rooms bathroom very clean.
- Alberto (2/5): - Sucio, mal servicio de limpieza y requiere urgente remodelación.
- Andrius (6/5): - It was good overall.
- Kyleigh (10/5): - Was nice
- Sui Yin (10/5): - Not far from the metro station and the staff are nice and helpful
- Susan (8/5): - Well maintained, easy to navigate around.
- Verified traveler (4/5): 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.
- WILLIAM (6/5): Generator for Gen Z - 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.
- KAREN (8/5): - 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.
- luis (10/5): great stay - the itslian girl that checked me in was so friendly nuce and orifessionsl bravo!
- luis (10/5): great stay - its great no frills yet freat
- Zeca (8/5): Surely coming back one day. - Book a Room of 4 always With friends! Great value for money, nice location. Great service from Layla sophie and Michael! Bigger menu can be great ideia!!
- Michael (10/5): - Laila & Colombe Were Excellent; Because Of Their Outstanding Performance, We Would Visit Generator Again If In Paris; They Merit A Reward...
- Esther (10/5): - soo nice for the price. love that they are in Amsterdam and Paris. And the cubicles have their own lights and charging port. just wonderful!!
- Darrin (10/5): - Near multiple Metro lines. Easy to get anywhere. Hotel has cool vibe including amazing view / space on the roof.
- Jessica (8/5): - Bit far out but is metro very close. Bar and karaoke to socialise. However no kitchen/common area if you want to have own food or chill. Front desk staff super helpful but security not friendly. Door keys stop working for multiple people in room. Area around does not feel too safe at night but have seen police walking around. Would be nice to have curtains on beds as other rooms can see in and were shining lights in and yelling through windows
- Michael (6/5): - Close to the trains and the metro.
- Regiane (8/5): - Everything was perfect, except that we were not allowed to visit the Rooftop because we did Not have a reservation. Nobody ever told us or was written anywhere that a reservation was needed. It was our Last Night and one of the high Point of the hotel could Not be Seen. Frustrating!
- Jaimie (8/5): - Sofia at the front desk was very kind and friendly! She made checking in a seamless process. Something on the ceiling was broken and wasn't fixed, as promised. That was the only bummer. Other than that, the hostel has great facilities, is very clean and is conveniently located close to the Gare du Nord station and 15 minutes away from most tourist attractions.
- Kat (8/5): - Staff weren’t that helpful
- Cindy (8/5): - I was sceptical being a hostel but staff were friendly it was quiet ,room was large clean and comfortable with outdoor space with views food was good. Good location close to transport underground trains and main train station
- Hicham (2/5): - Awful
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location. Facilities more mixed. - I had high expectations of The Generator from its reviews. As positives - - the location is great. It's right beside one metro line and walking distances from others, meaning getting around Paris is pretty easy. It's also near lots of good eating spots, boulangeries and a supermarket. - check in was easy, and the staff made us feel very welcome. - good wifi. - the other residents were all very friendly. Less positive - - we couldn't close our room's window properly and it kept blowing open. When we asked reception for help they sent up a security guard to try to fix it, who assured us he had - only to have it blow wide open again any time there were strong winds. - the bedroom could have been cleaner. The floor was dirty and we needed to keep shoes on (no complaints re the bathroom though). - we found the food at the snack bar relatively expensive and it was much better value to go out and eat elsewhere.
- Jeroen (2/5): - Extreme Dirty... Do not book!
- Charles (8/5): - Pretty good stay. Not in the best neighborhood of Paris but super close to the metro. Bed was comfortable, warm showers, cold AC(once I figured it out), welcoming staff, great bar. Food is okay. Didn’t eat breakfast because it looked super simple. I’d stay here again!
- Fiorella (10/5): - My dad stayed here and loved it! Thanks to the nice environment, he found it easy to meet fellow travelers to explore the city, even if he's 56yo. He said he'd definitely come back!
- Cassandra (2/5): - I tried to cancel due to the riots and they refused. terrible and rude staff.
- Peter (4/5): - Room was not ready at time of scheduled checkin. An overhead light was flickering, and the soap dispenser in the bathroom was leaking, leading to a large soap puddle in the bathroom. Housekeeping did not come, and there was no action taken when the front desk was informed of issues with the room.
- Karen (8/5): Value for money - Great value hotel but is mainly a student playground. We booked an upmarket room but it didn’t have a tv and toilet seat was broken on arrival. Towels weren’t changed unless requested. Great for metro and local cafe/bars at reasonable prices for Paris. Good stay with great aircon!
- Jesus (10/5): - Really nice property
- Sophia (6/5): - Wasn't terrible but certainly not the best hostel I've stayed in. I found it weird that the beds didn't have curtains. Service on rooftop bar wasn't great and the view was overrated because it was blocked by several cranes.The worst part is that there was an ant infestation in my room and I was bit several times overnight. At least the staff at the front desk were nice...
