About Generator Hostel Dublin

The Generator Hostel – one of Europe’s best loved and most award-winning hostel brands – arrived in Dublin in 2011 and hasn’t looked back since!

The Generator is Dublin’s newest and most exciting hostel which offers state-of-the-art facilities, quality rooms, a central location, a fun atmosphere and much more - for the right price!

We have tons of free stuff for our guests, including free bed linen, free towels in the single and twin rooms, a walking tour, luggage storage on arrival and departure, lockers in the dorm rooms (remember to bring your own lock!) and Wi-Fi! There’s also pay-as-you-go Internet terminals.

There’s free events happening every night, with drinks promotions and specials, karaoke, DJs, quizzes, pool competitions, drinking games, madcap monthly theme parties and more. Don’t forget our regular movie nights in our in-house cinema room!

We’re a 24hr hostel which means there’s laundry facilities, reception, a lounge and games room, pool tables, TV and great-value snack and drinks available all day and night.

Our fun and friendly staff are on hand 24hrs to give you advice and recommendations on where to go and to point you in the direction of all of Dublin’s hotspots and hidden gems.

We’re within short walking distance of some of the city’s most popular visitor attractions including the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Castle, The Wax Museum Plus and Jameson Distillery (so close - its right next door).

excellent location, very nice and new

The room was tidy and the beds were very comfortable. Personal storage lockers were under the beds and the bathroom was a decent size. The bar was reasonably priced for a bar in Dublin and there was a wide variety of alcohol for sale. The WiFi was a bit sluggish and while most of the staff were eager to help there were a few who seemed put out by your pressence. The 'breakfast included' was a bit of a lie. You pay about 2euro50 to get a voucher that says 'one free breakfast' which isn't exactly how they advertised it and the breakfast was quite bare - cereal, yoghurt and coffee. The hostel is located right next to a LUAS (Tram) station and the price for a ticket to the bus station is 1euro50 so the transit links are good. 10 minute walk to temple bar and 10 minute walk to O' O'Connel street. Slightly rough area of Dublin but still nice. Very modern feel.

Overall it was a comfortable stay and I would stay there again.
