Oh my gosh. If you can't sleep with big bright exit light, do not book it here. It is so bright that some of the others also lost some sleep. The hostel was nice enough to change bed for me once but it was still so horrible. I couldn't sleep at all.
Response from Property: Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear how much the brightness from the emergency exit light affected your sleep — that’s definitely not the restful stay we want for our guests. While these lights are required for safety, we understand how disruptive they can be, and we’re sorry that the room change didn’t provide enough relief.We appreciate your feedback and will look into what improvements can be made to help minimise the impact for future guests.Kind regards,Generator Dublin Team

Adequate place to stay at the right price. Upgraded from an 8-bed to 6-bed and check in via kiosk was relatively straightforward. The hostel itself is quite sizeable and the hallways can be easy to get lost in. We found the service from staff to be hit or miss, with many staff being friendly and accommodating while one staff member was exceptionally rude and abrupt with us and other guests too (despite having no complaint, just a simple request).
Response from Property: Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found our check-in process straightforward and appreciated the value and comfort of your stay.However, we’re truly sorry to learn that one of our team members did not meet the level of service we aim to provide. Please rest assured that we’ll address this internally to ensure all guests receive the friendly and professional service they deserve.We appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for a smoother experience next time.Kind regards,Generator Dublin Team

Thank you so, so much to the staff at Generator Dublin. You have all been awesome and made my first two weeks in Dublin so special! Moving to a new country can be daunting, but you gave me the best tips and made these hectic days very fun, too! The only little "issue" I've had with my stay was the lack of either a kitchen (would've been more than happy to pay for kitchen use!) or vegan options that could be enjoyed with my celiac's disease. That meant eating out and not being able to fully take part in hostel life. I will be happy to come back one day, regardless!

Good location, easy to walk around and good food places across the street. The pillows and showers were not something to be excited about. For the price it's alright.
Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed our central location and the nearby food options. We appreciate your comments regarding the pillows and showers and will take them into account as we work on improving our guest experience. We’re happy to hear you found the stay good value for the price and hope to welcome you again.

Good location and good staff, towels a bit expensive (€4) but what can you do. Good time here!

Noisy at night. Luckily, they quickly changed my room when a really loud person was next door.
