Generator Barcelona

Hostel barato y con mucho encanto. Esta enfocado a extranjeros. Las habitaciones estan limpias y las camas son mas o menos comodas. Las almuhadas son lo peor la verdad, y no tienen ventilacion en los baños. Una opcion asequible si quieres alojarte en barcelona y no pagar precios abusivos. Ideal para ir con los amigos y pasar un fin de semana.

No he estado nunca hospedada aunque en una ocasión un chico del personal nos enseñó una de las suites (que por cierto era genial, con una decoración muy chula y muy buenas vistas).
Cabe destacar la sala de ocio común con una parte de librería, futbolín, billar, sofás, puffs… Es super amplia y agradable. La decoración sigue la línea del hostel y es lo más.
Tiene un bar muy chulo que se caracteriza por su decoración divertida y sus lámparas de colores en el techo.
Tienen habitaciones compartidas y otras privadas. Muy recomendable para gente joven. Algunas noches puede haber algo de ruido y movimiento pero es un tema que han estado solucionando y por lo que tengo entendido está más controlado.

The hotel is indeed modern and downstairs the food and sitting area are both excellent. However during my stay there were legitimate problems with my room. For one, the first room I stayed in was dirty and when I requested help downstairs they quickly dismissed what I had to say and spoke Spanish in front of me rather than address the situation (I only speak English). I would recommend against staying in this hostel. I’m sure you would save money and it seems like a fun place to explore the city with a young group, but the rooms are cramped, unclean, shower heads can be broken. In essence, I would not recommend this hostel.

Hands down the best hostel I’ve stayed in. Clean, beautiful and with a boutique feel. Me and my boyfriend loved it so much, we’ve booked Generator Paris for our next city break. The vibe is definitely for a younger crowd — I’m 24 and felt like a bit of a granny! However, if you’re looking for a super cheap, super stylish, central and (most importantly) clean hostel, Genator is the one for you!

Don’t stay here if you’re over 21 years old! I had high hopes for Generator Barcelona. I received strong recommendations from the Generator in London saying that out of all of the Generator locations, Barcelona was their golden child. The property is beautiful and there is a great concept– almost feels like a boutique hotel property. But, the hostel is ruined by the behavior of rowdy 18 year-​olds getting drunk and loud at all hours of the night on the 2^nd floor, in the lobby, in the front entrance. In fact, the massive party of European frat boys were blatantly drinking alcohol out of plastic cups in front of the reception and none of the staff did anything about it even though the hostel claims that they enforce a strict no alcohol policy. Please refrain from staying here if you want a good nights rest. But hey, I understand that this is a hostel. I was 18 years old before. I’ve lived in the college dorms. However, this takes it to another level. This isn’t a college dorm. In fact, there are all types of age groups who are staying here for different reasons. But, the common ground is that we’re all looking for a place to share in space, store our luggage, enjoy the city, eat great food, and meet new friends. The experience I had in Barcelona was tainted from my visit to Generator Barcelona.
I also have to say that the staff here is completely incompetent and incapable of «babysitting,» or even a simple «can you please take the party outside» would have sufficed– but unfortunately, that did not happen. It’s really a shame. Such a beautiful property. Sadly, I will not be recommending this hostel to any of my friends and family.

I am really surprised that this hostel/​hotel has only two reviews but at least it has its deserved rate!
It is the best hostel I have been! They have an amazing hotel area also where u can stay for a reasonable prices and the rooms come with a big balcony!
It is stylish, the stuff are extremely friendly and helpful.
I love the ceiling design that they have! They also have free photo booth upstairs!
It is really in the centre to everywhere you can walk to many places from there especially sagrada familia is just 15 mins away! It is just little hard to walk from the metro stations with a big luggage. If you dont mind carrying them with you then I would say the metro stops are quite near but it is not 5 mins walk it is like 10 mins could be little more also.
Dont think so much, stay in this affordable and amazing hostel!

Hotel juvenil construido en un antiguo edificio de oficinas. Muy funcional, bonito y practico, y aun precio muy ajustado.

A stylish hostel in the city centre which is totally recommendable. Love the hanging chairs in the lobby! It is a couple of minutes away from the metro station Diagonal. Price for a room with a private bath for € 39 per person. Room was minimalistic (no TV, no hairdryer– rentable from reception) but yet nicely equipped and abolutely clean. No need to bring towels or shower cream. They have daily themed events: girls night, Indie night, mask night– the bar is equipped with a huge TV screen (half litre beer for € 4,50) and you can get breakfast here from 7−10am (if you book it on top of your stay for every morning it is only 6 € per person– did not check it out though). Room gets made up also every day, reception is friendly and provides maps, recommendations for the area etc, they also have a reading area, free WIFI access and a pool table. if you do not want to spend too much money on accommodation and rather on delicous food– you are at Pepitas up for an absolute treat (only two blocks away.) Pricey but amazing.
