Hello, I am a VIP Platinum member currently staying at Generator London (13–14 Nov 2026). The hostel assigned me Room ***, Bed ***, which was already occupied with another guest's belongings and uncleaned sheets (photos attached), changed my bed 10 times so other guests kept waking me up, and the room is freezing cold with no heating while I have a severe knee injury. I request a full refund for t...

It's a very good place to stay in London. What it lacks is a small kitchen or atleast a microwave. Also, some social Activities can be started to make it more fun. Otherwise, it's all good.

Pros (+) Lifts to access rooms on upper/lower floors - lockers under the beds to store bags - There was a heater in the room and a sink and hanger (kept in locker) to hang a coat. The toilets and showers were well serviced and kept clean. The beds are comfy and there is a light for each bunk bed and power point near by to charge a phone.

Pros (+) Booked as a group of four and was happy that we had a whole room to ourselves without having to share with strangers! It a short walk from St Pancras! It is well equipped with a bar and restaurant as well as shuffleboard which was a pleasant surprise! Excellent value for money, food and drink on site were fab and reasonably priced! Staff were very helpful!
Cons (-) It's a much larger building than I expected so the journey from room to exit was further than I anticipated but certainly not a deal breaker. Shared bathrooms were okay but feeling a little tired and dated.
