Didn't get the same room as provided in the website when I booked. The key to the room didn't work. That troubled me a lot. Moved me to another room.

Too less personnel to handle so much travelers. Need to wait 1-2h just for checkin or solve a problem. Not normal situation for a hostel.

Ok this is a giant unfriendly hostel. There is no kitchen facilities at all. Not even a fridge to keep some things in. Also no food in the rooms. They try to force you to pay more to have their breakfast and inedible meals at their cafe. Rooms were fine, equipped with lockers. Relatively clean but felt like thè bathrooms were cleaned once a week as they continued to deteriorate over the 3 days of our stay. Girls bathroom toilets were clogged with feces every morning.

Dear Guest, thanks you very much for taking time to write us a feedback. We have a restaurant available every day and breakfast is not included in our rates as in most of the hostels in Europe. We will take your review as the possibility to improve our service. Kind regards

Great staff, great location, it couldn't be easier, the price is super. What I highly prior is the staff, good service any time! Big plus that you can actually sleep at night, no noise or disturbing since they already have a bar where people

Can be 'loud' :-)

Reception guys were super helpful and polite, but the major problem of the hostel is total ignorance of the rule of silence in the hostel - drunk germans walk around the hostel at 3 a.m. yell things and try to break into other's peoples' rooms.

Hello Leonid. Thank you so much that you took your time to send a reply.

Comparing to Generator hostel in Copenhagen this one is slum. I was in hostel at 2pm and than had to wait 1hour to check in. There was no toilet in a room as I've booked. The furniture is not new and rooms are not very clean, toilets too. Location of beds in a room also is not convenient. Cranes in toilets made the way you absolutely can't wash your hands. The only benefit is the price.

Hello Iurii, thank you very much that you took your time to send a reply about your stay in the Generator Hostel Berlin Prenzlauer Berg.

Itś an Ok location, not really a real backpack atmosphere. Kinda sad you cant change after showering in a little room seperated from the rest of the people. Changing in the shower or in the middle of the bathroom makes me feel kinda publicly exposed,,,, Not really possible to go out for real in the neigbourhoud but you can join a pub crawl,,,
The owner's reply
Hello Alien. Thank you very much, that you took your time. For your next stay in Generator Berlin Prenzlauer Berg we can offer a cheap upgrade to a room with private bathroom to make you feel mor comfortable. Take care and best regards. Ronny Spilka, Front Office Supervisor

The Hostel was cheap which was good and breakfast was pretty good and included and they give you a towel. That's where the good points stop though as my room was filthy. Also it was at least a half an hour to get to and from the city center from the hostel.

Hello Daniel.Thank you so much for your great review. We are happy that you liked your stay at Generator Prenzlauer Berg so much and hope to see you again really soon and for the next time you can easily use the METRO-Tram running next to the hostel.
