    The suite I stayed in at Generator Dublin was seriously cozy, with a great vibe and all the amenities I needed. The free WiFi was a game-changer for me, and the towels were seriously the fluffiest ever.

    I personally found the age restriction for under 18s a bit strict, but I get that it's to ensure a comfortable atmosphere for everyone.

    The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with cozy beds that made for a good night's sleep. The bathrooms were also well-maintained and spotless, providing a pleasant experience. Additionally, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The location of the hotel was also a major plus, as it was conveniently situated close to key attractions and easily accessible.

    The laundry services at the hotel were lacking. There were only a few old and worn-out washing machines and dryers available for use, causing a bit of a challenge to find an available machine.

    This hotel is damn near the city center, located in Smithfield square next to Jameson's, with great access to attractions like Generator across the square. The staff provides excellent service, offering basic amenities in the comfortable and clean rooms with large windows to open. The private triple bedroom ensuite is well-equipped with free towels and breakfast included, offering a variety of good food options at effectively similar prices.

    I have no complaints, everything was fine.

    Staying at the hostel, we found ourselves immersed in the vibrant cultural scene that inspired James Joyce's Dubliners. From the beloved theatres to the art exhibitions and trendy shopping centers, there was something for everyone. The comprehensive local activity information and proximity to the hostel made it all easily accessible. Plus, the facility itself provided a lively atmosphere for those seeking a place to host a memorable party.

    My children wished for a playground or kids' activity area on the premises.

    The hotel is conveniently located near the tram line with easy access to the city center. There are plenty of dining options nearby, including a famous old pub within walking distance. The facilities and rooms are well-maintained, and the service is great.

    Great location, lots of chances to make new friends in the common area and have a good night out. The 6-bed dorm was clean and tidy. Staff was ok.

    The private bathroom had a small sink which caused water to spill on the floor everytime I used it. There was also no space for putting clothes or beauty case, except on the floor.

    The location of Generator Dublin was perfect for our trip. It was just a short walk away from the Pride festival venue, as well as some great food places and pubs nearby. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room was clean and tidy upon arrival. I also appreciated having a hair dryer available. Despite some noise issues mentioned in other reviews, we didn't experience any disturbances during our stay. The hostel staff were also willing to attend to any problems or concerns we had.

    The location was perfect, being situated on a quiet street and right next to the Jameson Distillery. It was also just a short 10-15 minute walk to Temple Bar and other main attractions. As foreign tourists, we loved being able to explore the city easily from this central location. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making our stay enjoyable.

    Felt like VIPs, no reason to complain.

    This hotel had so many facilities that made our stay comfortable and convenient. We loved the fact that the rooms were clean and had en suite bathrooms. Additionally, there was a bistro nearby where we could grab a quick bite to eat. The location was also great as it was near a luas stop which made it easy for us to get around to all the other areas we wanted to visit in the city. Lastly, the staff were friendly and welcoming which made us feel at home.

    Nothing, all was good.

    The location of the hotel is great, being nearer to the city centre and close to the light rail network. It is also conveniently located in the common area of the hostel, making it easy to access major attractions. The rooms are clean and spacious, with individual plug sockets and ambient lighting. The staff is hospitable and friendly, providing excellent service throughout our stay.

    The noise levels in the common areas and rooms can be quite high at times, especially during parties and gatherings.

    I recently stayed at Generator in Dublin for a few nights and had a great experience. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the main attractions, but still in a quiet area. The beds were comfortable, and the common areas were entertaining. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel had a modern and urban design, with a cozy bar that served delicious food. The high-speed internet was a bonus. a pleasant stay.

    I recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at Generator in Dublin for a week and had a fantastic experience. The staff, especially Lucas and Ari, were incredibly welcoming and made me feel special. The rooms were great and very affordable. The bar was friendly and reasonably priced, with delicious cocktails for only 6€. The lockers were convenient and reasonably priced. The hotel even had a contract with a taxi company, offering a fixed price of 22€ to the airport. The location was perfect, with most sites within a 15-20 minute walk. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of outlets for charging. I had the best accommodation I've ever had and would definitely stay at Generator again.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    I absolutely adored the cozy and stylish ambiance of the hotel's common areas. The beautiful chandeliers made from Jameson whiskey bottles added a touch of elegance and warmth to the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere for seniors like me. Additionally, the wooden floors and large windows allowed for plenty of natural light, making it a comfortable place to relax and socialize with other guests. The hotel also had easy accessibility for seniors, with spacious and well-lit areas that were perfect for enjoying a leisurely stay.

    I would have appreciated more tailored amenities for senior guests, such as dedicated assistance from the younger staff members.

    I loved the convenient location of the hostel, it was easy to access several restaurants and the amazing Cobblestone bar. The bunks had their own phone chargers and individual reading lights. With all these amenities, I found the hostel to be great value for money. Overall I recommend this hostel.

    Generator Dublin is a great find for budget-conscious travelers. The location is ideal, damn near the city center, right in Smithfield square next to Jameson's. Plus, being across the square from Generator, you're always close to the action. The service and staff are attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The rooms with bathroom are basic but clean, and the air conditioning ensures a comfortable stay. What's even better is that breakfast with good food options is included in our rate, giving you a hassle-free start to the day.

    The hotel could improve the cleanliness of the public areas.

    The central location was great for exploring the city's sights and sounds. The on-site travel shop was convenient, and Shuffleboard Bar was perfect for a night out with friends. The variety of games and the chic restaurant and café were a plus.

    The lively bar with Jameson-bottle chandeliers and plenty of dram behind the bar had such a unique and inviting atmosphere that I felt like I was in the heart of Dublin's nightlife without even leaving the hotel. The music, the crowd, and the energy were all top-notch, creating a memorable experience.

    Tiny rooms with broken window latches.
