Generator Amsterdam is my favourite hotel. Love the location in Oosterpark, near the centre of the city. Breakfast is top and the staff is super friendly. See you next time 😉🙌

Having have stayed in multiple hostels across Europe and Asia, my experience at Generator Amsterdam was very much below average for multiple reasons: 1) Their Customers: They take in large school groups of teenagers who are chaotic, noisy and severely lack any forms of civic mindedness. I was rudely awoke one morning because the neighbouring dorm (full of teenagers) was blasting EDM music and dancing in their room. The common areas are just flooded with teenagers and there aren’t much calm areas to chill and relax in. 2) Their Rooms: This is my first hostel experience in which I had to make my own bed. Tell me, is this normal? I’ve paid for cheaper hostels before this and they make the bed at the very least. Moreover, they store these sheets in the lockers that you’ll be using later on to keep your baggage and items. It seemed absolutely gross to put the bedding items in this locker, especially when I observed that mine seemed quite unclean once I got the beddings out. I don’t understand what’s on the minds of the hostel operators!? My room also had poor ventilation and had a foul stench. 3) Their Staff: Were brash, unfriendly and seemed to hate their job, very drastic difference from other service staff I met at other hostels. 4) Their Location: Barely prime, but given the price I can’t comment much. Near tram stations but Amsterdam’s public transport is very expensive.
