Generator Barcelona

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to explore Barcelona near the station and walking distance from pretty much everything, Brenda at reception was super friendly so helpful and sweet, the bed was so nice, aircons cold and water hot ! I loved the cozy room, the bar and food is fantastic and it's really affordable! It was an incredible vibe ! I am definitely coming back !

Amazing location - close to a lot of bus stations, metro and trains. Only stayed for 5 days but absolutely loved the place. The rooms were nice and clean, and the value for money was great. The bar and the games floor were amazing and great places to meet people and chill. Giuliana the receptionist was also really nice and helpful. Amazing experience overall. Would love to fo again soon.

Great hostel — super clean, cozy, and with a really friendly atmosphere! I met lots of nice people here. Special thanks to Giuliana at the reception — she’s so kind, helpful, and always up for a nice chat. Made me feel really welcome. Would definitely stay again!

The bed was comfortable, and a bedside lamp and a power outlet were provided. The gaps between the beds against the wall were quite large, making it easy for items on the upper bunk to fall onto the lower bunk. The Wi-Fi was not very stable. The 8-bed dormitory had one private toilet and shower. There were three showers and one toilet on the entire floor; when it was crowded, you had to go downstairs to use the toilet. A large, deep private locker was provided, but you needed to bring your own lock; you could also rent one from the front desk for a fee. No free towels were provided. There was no hairdryer. There was a free drinking fountain (providing hot and cold water) and a microwave on the basement floor. Porcelain bowls and plates were provided free of charge. Check-out time was too early, 10:00 AM.

I had a single room rather than a multi-occupancy room. This is a fantastic location and provides easy access to most everything you would want to see. The staff was amazingly friendly as well. If you are visiting Barcelona, this is a place to strongly consider staying. Easy access to Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, and the gothic quarter as well as easy access to several subways stations on a number of different lines. This is the place to stay for a tourist who needs a central base for their planned excursions.

Muhammad and Jacob at the reception desk are the best employees I’ve seen there. Friendly and helpful. They were working the night shift and had a big smile on their face when they were helping me. Thank you.

Not the normal hostel I would stay in because it is very big and is not cozy. But I’m giving it 5 stars because of the location, facilities and feels well run. They have a number of places where you can sit and chill out where there is good ac. Location is on the edge of gracia which is my favourite barrio here. The rooms all have a bathroom and toilet with others on the floor and downstairs, with hot water. So you are never waiting. Lockers to hold you belongings - although you have to pay but atleast it is very safe. Televisions to watch sport. Beds also come with a socket. Washing machines in the basement. Also low key security people - which I think it’s important for a big hostel. I did have an issue with my bed and reception were very nice and offered to change it to a bottom bunk - so appreciate that Giuliana. Check in - super easy and quick. My friend booked into another hostel near by and she had to wait 2 hours to check in. Things that could be improved - ac in the room because I found it very hot - curtains on the bed to give more privacy It’s not my type of hostel because it is very big and lacks that cozyness. But it’s clean, got great facilities for a hostel, in a great location and everything works well.

Good value hostel from a well-known chain. Beds/bunks have no curtains, but it is not a problem if you are not sensitive. En-suite toilet and shower is great, but if you are noise-sensitive, it is not a problem. Lockers are located at the bottom of the bunks, which is fine if you are not sensitive. Giuliana help me through check-in and she granted my request for a bottom bunk, which is much appreciated. You may have to walk a bit to reach the nearest metro or bus stops. I think, however, that the hotel management should remind guests about how to manage expectations in a hostel, as there was a guest who was very sensitive to noise and would make a fuss if someone is opening the lockers at 8pm or snoring at 7am. The guest even took a picture of another person without permission, and was staring at the snoring person on the top bunk. Quite antisocial behaviour, but not the hostel’s fault. An explanation of what to expect in a hostel would be good at check-in as this is a shared room.
