I came to Generator Amsterdam after a miserable stay at Generator Paris. Honestly after Paris it was tough to be any worse but Generator manages to surprise in the worst ways.
Room was much smaller than it appears in photos.
Used to atm in the lobby and the atm malfunctions and eats my bank card. Front desk girl shrugs her shoulders and says sorry? I ask if you can call anyone... she says yea but they’ll tell you the card is gone anyway. Yup. That happened. Amsterdam staff is almost as bad as the Paris staff.
Both locations - Paris and Amsterdam are quite far from the main areas. The one upside in Amsterdam was that public transport was actually working.
I tried Generator as an experiment of sorts. Normally when I travel I book an unshared apartment on Airbnb and I’ve never had any problems. Matter of fact it’s always been amazing. I tried this bc fellow backpacker friends of mine usually stay at a hostel to be more social. So I gave it a try.
NEVER. AGAIN.
I know myself well enough to know I’ll never do a hostel again and god forbid I do... it won’t ever be Generator.
