Amazing First Hostel Experience – Highly Recommend! I had never stayed in a hostel before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect—but my stay at Generator Dublin completely exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and comforting. The dorms were clean and well-maintained, and I was especially impressed with how spotless the bathrooms and toilets were. They even provide hair dryers, which is such a thoughtful touch. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay—special shoutout to Alex, who was always kind and approachable. The vibe downstairs was super fun and lively. Even if you don’t have plans for the evening, there’s plenty to do right at the hostel—games, live music, and a party-like atmosphere that makes it easy to meet people and just enjoy the night. I was also lucky to have great dorm mates, which made the stay even more enjoyable. All in all, staying at Generator Dublin as my first hostel experience was truly memorable and amazing. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and social place to stay in Dublin.

Absolutely terrible the place was disgusting I couldn't stay more than 10 minutes it smelled like urine it was completely dirty and my "bed" looked like no one cleaned after the last person left. Mattress duvet everything used and even food crumbs on the bed just utterly disgusting and dreadful. I have stay in hostels before but this seem more like a crackhouse than an hostel
