This hotspot has several faces; casual bar upstairs with an array of fun games, cafe with good food, hostel with laundry & shower facilities, outdoor patio area, and the ice bar downstairs! This review focuses on the regular bar and cafe upstairs. Great food with generous portions are offered; we enjoyed several menu items! I couldn't finish the loaded fries; it would feed 2 adults! Several interesting pre-mixed house drinks on tap, as well as Fisk and other regular drinks! And we loved the foosball and other games!

Shower flooded the entire room. So hot we have to keep the entrance door open and one of us is sleeping on top the window sill. Considering sleeping in the lobby.

This review is solely based on my experience with the bar and the food, not the rooms. I use the bare area for workspace, as I appreciate the ambience and having easy access to a fully equipped bar/cafeteria, a great wifi and bathrooms within reach. Generator Hostel Copenhagen is among my favorite "offices". As a freelancer, I enjoy working from home, but I most certainly enjoy working OUT of my home - at libraries and cafes, for instance. Generator provides me with the necessary facilities, like power outlets, coffee at a reasonable price, and a fast network. When hunger sets in, there is always the sandwiches and/or the spring rolls with sweet and hot chili sauce to keep me happy and rollin'

Awful. Higher priced than the other options, there's no practical reason for that. You'll also want more blankets and pillows as the bedding leaves much to be desired. Not recommended. Bar is expensive. The Ice Bar downstairs is also a big tourist trap because it's only one room and the drinks are obviously watered down. Meals here are also way above what you an get on the street immediately outside the hostel. My main reason for writing is because the staff will bark and clap orders at you as if teenagers going through puberty. Why is that necessary? Also, you'll have to wait there at the reception because they aren't trained with how to operate their systems. In my experience on Christmas day I went down to the lobby at about 8AM. I met two employees while having a nice conversation with guests in the lobby. The employee waited for a half hour while figuring out if he could extend my stay, saying there was an issue with moving a bed around. I mentioned due to Christmas I may be leaving early and asked if I could simply come back at 10AM to find out what they were able to figure out, he said that would be fine. Somehow at 10AM I woke up to someone clapping in my ear. I use my sheet as a curtain as I bring my own blanket to use at hostels. The same employee, a while male working at 8AM-10AM pulled down the curtain and began yelling and stomping his feet. Are you serious? I believe this is because two female housekeepers were present and there is a hormonal teenage issue being worked out. I got out of bed and said I'm an attorney and this is an obvious assault. I asked his name, he refused to provide it. Later after calling the same employee hung up on me twice while refusing to provide his name. So awful. So now I'm calling the police on Christmas. Imagine suddenly hearing clapping in your ear and someone grabbing a curtain by your head to wake you up. Also, in anticipation of a rebuttal by the owner let me clarify a few things. First off, they have a late checkout option. No one at any time offered or explained this to me during my stay, only afterward while clapping in my ear. The Staff are disorganized and divided, if I had known this it still however would not of been appropriate due to the following. I actually left my credit card information with the rude worker so that he could simply figure out their own system and place the charge. So bad. Stay away. God awful, no thanks. If you're in the area and are looking for the same feel but a step up and at a lower price, "Wake Up" is literally right around the corner and has a much higher quality which is immediately present in the warm check-in staff. There is just no reason to stay at or support this hostel. So far Wake Up around the corner is amazingly better, ... computers in the lobby, kitchens (Generator doesn't have any) and bigger rooms for less. Wake up will be a much better option, or, ... really any hostel. Not this one. Thanks.

Conveniently located in Copenhagen, easy walk to the Metro, or the famous Nyhaven canal area and waterfront. TONS of cool stuff to do within the "Number 1 Voted Hostel in Denmark." There's bocce ball courts, outdoor areas, a bar, numerous lounges, shuffleboard, lockers, breakfast, the list goes on. One amenity I'd highly suggest is the bicycle rentals. You can rent in 6, 24, or 72 hour intervals. Copenhagen is really flat, and easily bike-able! There are designated bike lanes all over the city, and pedestrian and bicycle only bridges, bikes have the right of way in bike lanes, so if you're walking, get out of their way. We had a room with 2 single beds and a full bathroom. It was tiny, no TV, but all we did there is sleep and shower. I think cheaper options were bunk rooms with 4-8 beds. No Air Conditioning, but not too many places in Scananavia do. They do, however have an "Ice Bar" on site. Proof of staying at the Generator apparently gets you discounts for Ice Shots and other drinks. So, basically if you want a super cool kids kind of place for home base while in Copenhagen that's cheaper and close to lots cool things, this is where you go. Right here.

Nice terrace and good happy hour. Good location and nice hostel filled with young and smiley people. The not so great thing is that they barely play music in the bar (neither inside nor outside) ...

I chose Generator because I stayed in one in Berlin and it was a great experience. Comparatively, the Copenhagen version was just okay. I stayed in a six person suite, which was kind of annoying. There was a small bathroom and a separate shower room, with the sink in the common area. So not really much room for privacy (yes, I had the pleasure of listening to a suite mate grunting on the toilet while I was trying to sleep). There's only one communal hallway shower for the whole building, which is silly. In most of the other hostels I've stayed at, there have been multiple first-come-first-serve full bathrooms on every floor. It wasn't all bad though. The under-bed storage lockers are pretty big, just be sure to bring your own lock or you'll need to buy one. The bar downstairs (Petanque Bar) is convenient and sometimes there's live music (though annoying when you can hear them playing from your room upstairs). It's hard to beat the location as well. Very close to Kongens Nytorv and to the botanic gardens. You can walk to most places from here, though the local bars leave a lot to be desired. Copenhagen's an expensive city, so I guess if it makes sense to cut costs somewhere, it's with where you're staying. I don't regret choosing Generator. All the more reason to get up early and stay out late!

My now husband and I just came back from Copenhagen after staying at the Generator there. We highly recommend it. We eloped in Copenhagen, and the entire staff was so accommodating. They even comp'ed us a bottle of nice champagne as a congratulations...how classy is that?!?!?! We also loved Marta who checked us in...she was so very sweet! Only issue was that, when we booked our room, we clicked on "premium deluxe", and the photo it shows is not a room that is actually available in the Copenhagen location (it's a picture of some room in their Stockholm location, I think). Anyway, this premium deluxe is over $100 USD more than the premium double, which is what they gave us. We wrote to the head office, and they gave us a refund of the difference that we were charged. It was all that we wanted, and they were able to do this very quickly. It is due to the promptness and professionalism that we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely do it again!

I managed to avoid hostels for sometime because I did not get to travel much at my last job. Now that I can travel again, I was a bit hesitant but ready to give this hostel game another try! The hostel life before Generator was dark and grim.... ok..it was more like "am I going to find a dark room with dirty sheets and wish I had stayed at a hotel?". Generator made my transition smooth and made me a hostel-believer (is that a thing?!?) again!!! Copenhagen location was easy to find, centrally located close to bunch of bars and the Christmas markets! The whole building has a modern vibe to it. It was nice to see a big bar and lounge area, with lots of people socializing. I booked a bed in a room of 6 people. Not everyone was there when I arrived. I was pleasantly surprised to find a storage box under the bed, making me a lot less worried about my personal belongings. It was nice that the toilet and the shower were separate to make it easy for people use one, while keeping the other free. What was nice to hear was that my friend who lives in Copenhagen had came to the Generator's bar to meet her friends before. I guess they have a good atmosphere! I only stayed there one night so I did not get to socialize or discover the hostel as much but I had a peaceful stay! I will definitely stay at another Generator hostel!

Honestly one of the nicer hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff were great, accidentally slept in on the day I was supposed to check out but the guys were very understanding and we had a laugh about it. I would recommend sorting out any breakfast/dinner passes online instead of using cash, saves a lot of time and hassle. All in all a great place to stay!
