    Every day, my room card stopped working and had to be reset - sometimes I waited in a queue for 15mins + just to get it reset.

    Close to the underground station. Lovely space and rooms were clean and quiet.

    It was a good time .especially Mohammed. I loved the way Mohammed welcomed guests with a smile. He is a nice person.(But the thing I didn't like was that the light in the bed didn't work and I couldn't charge my phone.)

    The only downside was the lack of variety at breakfast and not having a place to hang out at night. If you want to get something to eat or something like that at night, it's really bad because only the smoking area is open, and not the dining hall. They should leave the dining hall open for people who want to eat or study at night

    I enjoyed my stay overall. The bathroom was always clean and the room was fine.

    The rooms are way better than you expect from a hostel. The breakfast is exactly what you expect.

    I added on breakfast as it seemed quite cheap, but actually the selection is so sparse that it's really not worth it. Better to just get some fresh pastries from a local shop. My son didn't even want the milk with his cereal because it tasted strange to him (I think it was UHT or similar).

    Our deluxe private room was very spacious, with a comfortable bed. We even had a view of the city, which is magnificent – event if there's a building in front blocking the view of the Eiffel Tower!

    I think hostels, given their size and community-oriented nature, should focus on being more socially inclusive. By organizing guided tours or group activities, they can help solo travelers connect with others, which not only enriches the guest experience but also creates a more positive atmosphere for the hostel overall. Unfortunately, Generator Paris does not offer this, which is a missed opportunity.

    The location was decent and made it fairly easy to get around the city. I booked a 4-bed dorm, which was clean and well maintained, and I appreciated that the shared spaces were also kept in good condition. Overall, my stay was a positive experience — the hostel provided the essentials I needed, and I felt comfortable throughout my time there.

    No night lamp and bathroom sink was outside the bathroom, therefore it was bad for navigating the room with different people’s sleeping schedules without disturbing/being disturbed. Some guests were not polite about the use of hangs/common space.

    Breakfast is great for the price, has a little back patio to seat and tables have chargers. Lockers are sturdy and spacious and can be used as a seat. Bed is ok, with oulets next to you. I was in a 6 women shared room with private bathroom. Shower always had hot water. Rooftop is cool if you want to pay extra to dine or drink there.

    There were some concerning spots on some of the mattresses and some mold in the showers. Some beds were missing screws and the storage boxes were all falling apart.

    All the community areas (including bar and restaurant) were very nice and the vibe was amazing. The staff was very nice and could speak English very well.

    No kitchen access (I didn't realize this when I booked so want to let folks know), expensive paid luggage storage, expensive laundry facilities, water constantly on the bathroom floor. It felt like being so large made things more expensive and less convenient in this hostel.

    Relatively close to Metro station, lots of grocery stores nearby, bed set up in dorm room was comfortable, lots of hanging space and privacy.

    I stayed in a mixed dorm, and unfortunately, I couldn’t use the toilet because it was very dirty. I used the women’s bathroom on the floor instead, but it wasn’t exactly clean either. There were belongings from previous guests around the sink and in the room. There is no hairdryer in the rooms; you have to go to the ground floor and ask the staff, and they will give you one if they have it available. In my opinion, there wasn’t a very suitable environment for socializing with people. I wanted to see the rooftop, but I couldn’t.

    The staff were helpful, and even though my friend and I had made reservations for different dates, they arranged for us to stay in the same room. The location is very close to the metro stations.
