Hostels di Berlin

Reasonable price, friendly staff and convenient location. This hostel is a great choice for your Berlin trip.

The hostel was alright, but the room feels quite small, I’m 5,5 and can’t even seat straight at the bottom bed, and to be absolutely honest, I believe the toilet signs should be more clear about male and female showers and toilet, would also recommend working on the cleanness of the shower room as well. On the other hand, the staff were all pretty friendly and willing to help, some doesn’t speak English and that did caused confusion to me but everything was good at the end. Over all I’m happy with my stay but probably won’t come back for the next time.

Generator Berlin Alexanderplatz is a fantastic choice for travelers looking for a modern, affordable, and centrally located place to stay in Berlin. Situated right next to Alexanderplatz, the hostel offers excellent access to public transport, making it easy to explore the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and nightlife. The design of the hostel is stylish and contemporary, with a vibrant atmosphere that appeals especially to young travelers and backpackers. The common areas, including the lounge and bar, are lively and well-maintained, creating a great space to meet other guests and socialize. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with options ranging from shared dormitories to private rooms. While dorms can feel a bit busy at times, they are well-organized and provide secure storage for belongings. The beds are comfortable, and the overall cleanliness of the facility is commendable. The staff are friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with directions, recommendations, or any issues during your stay. The hostel also offers useful amenities such as free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, and 24-hour reception, which adds to the convenience. One minor downside could be the noise level, especially in the evenings due to the bar and central location. However, this is expected in such a lively area and may not be an issue for those looking to enjoy Berlin’s energetic vibe. Overall, Generator Berlin Alexanderplatz delivers great value for money, combining comfort, location, and a social atmosphere. It is highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers who still want a stylish and enjoyable stay in Berlin.

Sometimes the front desk staff gives the key without checking, so in the case of female customers, it is a female-only room, but there are cases where the key of the mixed room is given even though they did not choose a mixed room. Other than that, it's a place that's attractive in terms of price, and it's safe and there's nothing stolen.

This is a very big hostel with hundreds of beds, though it did not feel cramped or loud. I had a quiet stay.   I stayed for 2 nights in a mixed dorm with three bunk beds and en-suite. The toilet and shower are separate which makes use easier. Hanson’s and shower gel is included, as is a hairdryer.   The room is spacious with tables and seating areas, this is also of use to those who on the top bunk who cannot sit on their bed as easily.  There is a mirror though a lack of hooks being only a hook and couple of hangers. The bed is of a metal frame and thus I was able to apply my travel straps and hooks to create places to hand my coat and bag. There is a locker big enough to take hand luggage sized bag (own lock needed).  The bed has a usb port for charging and a slot into which a phone will fit, though no individual light. The room has two lights and it is possible to turn on only one; the other people in my room came in and out at unsociable hours though we’re all respectful being quiet and also putting in the main light.   The mattress and pillow are comfy enough, you need to collect linen and make the bed yourself.  Everything was clean.  Reception is 24 hours though checking us via one of the 4 automated screens. It is through the machines that you do check in and pay tourist tax and the machine prints paper with your allocated room and bed number. You even activate the room card yourself. There is a sign in the desk with a map of blocks with room numbers in each one. That is all the welcome that you get; there is no explanation related to hostel layout or facilities. I had to ask in which direction to go to get to my block, the receptionist gave my directions and once I got to the room and found no bedding on the bed so went back to reception. The check in computer screen states that bed linen is provided free of charge and towels can be paid for at reception. The receptionist did not give me any bedding nor point to where to where to pick it up some thus I assumed the linen would be laid on the bed as in other hostels. The next day a person arriving in the room asked where he gets bed linen, he also did not get given any bedding even when talking with the receptionist. I do find it odd that you are expected to ask for the bedding: as this is the case I recommend updating the wording on the computer screen as it is ambiguous and gives the impression you only need to ask at reception if needing a towel.  There is a guest kitchen which has basic equipment: fridge, sink, microwave, 2 hot plates, 2 frying pans, 1 saucepan, some plates, bowls and some cutlery. There was one mug in which I made a cup of tea by heating water in the microwave. I recommend a kettle to boil water. The kitchen is sufficient for simple meals, making breakfast and sandwiches. I did not try the hostel breakfast.  There is one common area near reception with a bar and possibility to purchase food. Vending machines there. WiFi reliable. The common room can feel cramped when groups are there. There is good security as all entrance doors and lifts use card access. To access the guest kitchen ask at reception and they update your card.  The location is very good being 5 min walk from Ostkreuz train station. It is a direct line to Messe Nord where the bus station and FlixBus stop is. Easy to get public transportation into the cities. There are many shops, supermarkets and eating places nearby. Vegan kebab shop directly opposite.  Good value for money. I had a comfortable stay with no difficulties and I would stay again.

Just a little bit far from the Berlin centre but if I use the airport that would be a great location so next time if I use it I'll come again

A nice place for it's price. Near the metrostation, many halal food around the hotel, and LIDL. The hotel staff is so friendly.

The carpet on the floors smells bad. When you enter the hostel above the bar, the hallway always smells like urine. Thats the first impression Generally the shared toilets are kept clean. But they went 1 full day with no liquid soap or paper towels. For breakfast they offer no eggs. The light in the room is very dim, but the rooms are spacious. Location is good For this price in other european cities you can get a good 4* hotel room. I would not recommend it. Expensive for the service you get back

We stay in A&o while on vacation in Berlin Reception staff and room everything was great. Thank you.
