It's all about the G-spot...as in the Generator spot in Copenhagen, Denmark






The Generator hostel, located in Copenhagen, has a special meaning to me, as it was my maiden voyage into the world of hostels.


Located in the very heart of Denmark’s capital it is perfect for anyone who is visiting the city, as the main shopping street called “strøget” is just minutes away from the hostel, packed with everything from souvenir boutiques to the posh stores such as Louis Vuitton, Royal Copenhagen and the Danish luxury designer, Georg Jensen.  What makes the location perfect for the price conscious hostelser is, that despite the price for lodging at the Generator can be a little higher than elsewhere, the restaurants and café’s nearby are nothing short of great food and coffee at very attractive prices, compared to the prices of pizza, burgers, shawarmas, Thai food and cappuccinos other places in Copenhagen. Not to mention that should you get the munchies late at night, you can satisfy your hunger for junk food at the 24-hour 7 11 right around the corner.

The Generator Hostel, Copenhagen, serves a varied clientele, as it offers both co-ed dorm rooms, all female dorm rooms, as well as private rooms. The prices at this hostel seems to fluxuate quite a bit, following a typical “supply and demand” cycle, or so it appears. But the convenience of extremely clean dorm rooms, crisp linen; toilets and showers located in most dorm rooms makes it worth the price.

The best part of this hostel is the big lounge area, which serves as a cafe during the day and bar in the evening. Usually there is always a party going in this area, and if you are more of an introvert, then you can enjoy the party from the computer nook, where both computers as well as internet are complementary.

Time to rate:


  • Was the location appropriate: one word...SUPERB!
  • Overall level: Youngster, hipster and...I would add: "fit-for-all-hostel-bookers", indeed.
  • Would I let my children stay there: Y.E.S!!!!!
  • Would I bring my mother: I'd have to think about that one (if you know what I mean)
  • Would I recommend to a neighbour: If my neighbour was the young, hipster type...then, yes, I would recommend this G-spot.
  • Low point(s) of the hostel: prices can fluxuate quite a bit from day to day
  • High point(s) of the hostel: Awesome staff and awesome lounge...not to mention location, location, location!
  • For he/she whom has tried everything in life, I would recommend: unless you cannot find another place whilst in Copenhagen, I would not recommend it; it would not give you an extraordinary experience other than above-average quality hostel lodging...

Complementary ear plugs!
