Generator Paris

Nice design

No kitchen, I discovered that when I read the comments ... the hostel is really not expensive but you cannot bring food in. There are some restaurants where you can eat but when you stay for a long week, it is nice to cook (Paris is expensive and the hotel is not close from restaurants).

Nice and clean, facilities were handy

Location, and lack of security(at least lack of warning to the guest). I left my bag in my bed and when I went back, my bag was stolen, with everything in it, the stuff weren't able to check the camare without police paperwork, even if I did file a report they still couldn't check because the manager was gone for the weekend. luckily the staff found it in the corner of the floor and return it to me.(Thanks to the staff lady working at the reception that night) The next day I saw another traveller called the police because his bag of stolen. It seems to happen a lot in this hostel, the hostel should do more work to warn people about the thief and lock their valuables in the locker.

Great value! It is not that close to the center of the city, but there are several metro lines that are just a couple of blocks away. The room had plenty of space--it even had a couple of chairs and a small table--and a private bathroom inside, and there were shared bathrooms outside the room which came in pretty handy when the room's bathroom was being used or in order to use my blowdryer without waking everyone up. The buffet breakfast had little variety, but the menu had a quick breakfast consisting of OJ, espresso and a croissant at a good price.

The hostel is very popular and there is always lots of people around, which is great if you like to party but can be tiresome if you like something a little bit quieter.

Ambience is good, metro station is nearby which helps to connect the most of the tourist places of Paris.

Beds are not that much comfort for sleep.
