Ok for 1 night
Friendly staff. Room at the basement. Very hot and humid. Room needs a reface. But ok for 1 night. Close to the metro. Close to a supermarket and Starbucks.

Good not good
It's not my first time staying in Generator hostel. I've been staying there in different cities in the past such as Madrid and Paris. I know that this particular location is a very first and I could see it while staying there. I really hope and wish that the management is planning to perform renovation of the rooms and its facilities very soon. It's a little bit dirty (there is a lot of plague showers), some of the doors don't lock, there are wholes in walls of shower (to spy?). But for this price it is good. Just not comfortable.
