Very convenient location.
The hostel is excellent and just a few steps from Hamburg HBF. The storage space is very convenient and easy to access. The staff is very supportive.

There was a wait at both check in and check out, they needed more staff on shift. The bar closed quite early.
The bathroom was very small, and the water wasn't that hot.

Good place to stay for a short while. Bathroom/shower were extremely small- smaller than what you’d find on a cruise ship.

Perfect for 1 night stay
The Generator hostel is across the road from the train station which was very convenient for us. Check in was slow as there we many people checking in at the same time, rooms are small but clean, bathroom is tiny but still useable. Breakfast was 9 euro, there are laundry facilities for 6 euro. There are plenty of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. For our 1 night stay this hostel is perfect

Perfect location next to the main station meaning close to everything. That being said, the noise level outside of the hostel it's therefore high.

Value for money.
Double room is small, but clean with a decent bed. Bathroom is very small. Overall good value for the price and location. 24/7 reception is a plus.
