As a first time solo traveller and first time staying at a hostel, I was apprehensive about the experience at first but went on to have a lovely stay at the Generator! I had been given a mixed dorm with 3 guys but the receptionist swiftly moved me to an all female one at my request after paying a small fee.
The part I was most nervous about beforehand was the cleanliness (as it’s next to godliness after all 😊) but I needn’t have worried as the room, toilet and bathroom were pristine!
I really loved the chill out areas, if you wanted music and vibes you could hang out at the breakfast/dining area or if you wanted more of a chill out one there was also the auditorium.
There was a good mix of travelers age wise and if you don’t mind some walking (about 15min to the tube) then you get the best of both worlds as you’re near enough the hustle and bustle of the city centre while based in a gorgeous park (it really is lovely).
