Herbergen in London

Positiv:: Das beste Personal aller Zeiten! Wirklich tolle Ausstattung. Ich fühlte mich sicher, meine Sachen im Zimmer zu lassen. Die Kneipe war auch ein großartiger Ort zum abhängen. Tolles Bier und Essen. Gutes Gespräch.

Negativ:: The people who worked here were the dumbest losers I'd ever experienced. The guy at the front desk wouldn't book me in, he made me go online to book in even though I was standing at the front desk. I asked a simple question "how far is it to Westminster Bridge?" and the fool had no idea. Also the room I was in had 24 beds like a slave ship. The fool at the front desk couldn't even write the door code down properly so I was unable to enter the room. The breakfast was pathetic.

Positiv:: Das Personal war hilfreich. Die Einrichtungen sahen frisch aus und waren schön, aber die Duschen waren etwas eng. Dies ist eine Jugendherberge, die mit 8 in einem Zimmer auf Etagenbetten lebt.

Negativ:: Die Zimmer waren sehr warm, obwohl sie die Fenster öffneten und es war abends kühl.

Positiv:: Unterbringung im 6-Bett-Zimmer. Durch vorhnge vor den Betten privatsphäre dennoch gegeben. Das Hotel und die Zimmer sind sauber. Bad und Dusche mit auf Zimmer.

Negativ:: Handtücher nicht mit im Preis enthalten, können gegen Gebühr geliehen werden. Schloss für Abschließbares Fach sollte mitgebracht werden, da dortige Schlößer mit über 10Pfund recht teuer sind.

Positiv:: Toilets and showers

Negativ:: Luggage room is not properly secured

Positiv:: Die Lage ist ok. Ausserdem, dass es einen Computer- sowie auch TV- Aufenthaltsraum gibt mit WiFi.

Negativ:: Es ist ausserordentlich laut, wegen den Gruppen aber auch weil es hellhörige Räume sind. Wenn man ein Zimmer mit eigenem Bad hat dann überflutet das Duschen das Bad und das Zimmer wird auch nass.

Negativ:: Annoying and dirty.

Positiv:: Surprisingly comfortable youth hostel, helpful staff. Good value for money.

Negativ:: Noisy bar but luckily our room was far away from it. Noise from other residents coming home late disturbing at night.

Positiv:: The place is fantastic and the staff was very kind.

Positiv:: Location was good. Reception staff very friendly.

Negativ:: Breakfast was a bit like organised chaos and the kitchen and accomodation staff were very unfriendly and unhelpful. Also, charging £2 per towel per day was a bit ridiculous.

Positiv:: Die Lage ist ziemlich gut, nur ca. 10 min Fußweg zur U-Bahn / Railway. Personal am Check-In war freundlich. Preis-Leistung ist angemessen.

Negativ:: Die Türen der Zimmer sind nicht richtig zu den Fluren lärmgedämmt, das ganze laute Gequatsche von weiblichen Teenagern (auch noch aus Holland!), die stundenlang vor der Dusche Schlage stehen und rumgackern hat mich voll genervt. Da nützt das auch nicht, wenn man der Ruhe wegen ein Vierbettzimmer bucht - innen still - außen laut.... Da hier in Vollbelegung im Hostel ca. 500 Leute übernachten können (ist nach eigenen Angaben zweitgrößtes Hostel in London) muss man einfach mit ständiger Unruhe rechnen. Busweise werden hier Schülerreisegruppen angefahren, muss man eben nur wissen. Das Frühstück ist nur Notversorgung im fensterlosen Keller: Toast + Butter + Marmelade + Getränk.

Positiv:: Price

Negativ:: Room was a bit small

Negativ:: Das Zimmer hat wie ein Gefängniszimmer ausgesehen

Positiv:: Friendly and clean. Breakfast included. Cosy. Nice building.Good sound-proofing.

Negativ:: Room too small, Lockers not big enough for small suitcase.

Positiv:: einfaches Hotel mit guten Service und nettem Personal

Negativ:: Das Frühstück sollte etwas gesünder sein. War zu basic.

Positiv:: Funktionalität hat Vorrang im Hotel, mehr aber auch nicht

Negativ:: Das Zimmer war so schlecht gelegen, dass eine permanente Lärmbelästigung vorlag (knallende Flurtüren, musik aus bar)

Positiv:: Overall, as a 20-something, using this as a cheap place to sleep for the night while seeing London this worked for me and allowed me to spend my travel money on the things I wanted to do. The hostel does provide breakfast, and a 10% off discount for anything you order at the bar (burger and a beer is normally 15 pounds, so you get that for 13.50). The staff was friendly, and the bedding was clean in the hostel. The showers had warm water and seemed to be cleaned on a somewhat regular basis. The bar area is open to you 24 hours a day, though the kitchen closes at 10 and the bar closes to the public at midnight. Beyond that, you can't beat the location in terms of it being a launching point for getting around the city. You are on several bus lines and three different tube lines. You are also only a mile's walk from Hyde park on a main road that is well lit, even at night.

Negativ:: First off, if you are a light sleeper, don't choose this hostel. It is on a highly-used road and the windows will be open in the room. If you wake up at every horn or siren, you will not have a good time sleeping here. In addition to that, the larger rooms have 24 people, so you can expect them to be coming and going at all hours, some quietly, some not (which also means your experience is not 100% on the hostel staff). Bar noise was non-existent, so don't worry about that. The breakfast was a bit of a zoo, and a bit of a disappointment. They had loaves of bread with a toaster (butter and jam), some cereal and milk. There was also tea and coffee. It was pretty well picked over by 8:15, and the staff was too busy cleaning the bar to replace anything. To that end, the staff in the hostel always seemed to be stretched too thin. People are working the hostel front desk and the bar at the same time. They are not mean about it, but if you catch it wrong, you can end up waiting a bit to be helped. There were also a few people who were sleeping in the hallway at times, though I was not sure if they were just too drunk to remember their passcodes or had snuck in. Also, I never saw any semblance of a manager for either the bar or the hostel (not that I ever needed one). The cleanliness of the rooms and the bathrooms left something to be desired, the rooms especially. Though I didn't spend much time in them, there was usually some crumbs / scraps of wrappers on the floor, which did not feel clean even when those larger pieces of rubbish were not there. This comes back to you experience being tied to the people you are in the room with however. In particular, there was one person who's luggage smelled like a college student's laundry bin that had been left to sit during the winter break, in-short, really bad. My final warning would be that there are not a lot of power outlets in the rooms, and there are only two bathrooms to accommodate 50+ people, as opposed to 4 showers.

Positiv:: Sauber mit sehr freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal.

Negativ:: Lage und Preis.

Positiv:: Es war alles sauber, das Personal ist nett und es herrscht eine schöne Atmosphäre.

Negativ:: Es werden keine Vorhängeschlösser für die Gepäckschränke angeboten.

Positiv:: Die Lage war großartig, das Café unten war in Ordnung.

Negativ:: Nachts war es laut, schwer zu schlafen. Ich konnte meine Nachbarn durch die Wände hören, und wenn die Türen geschlossen sind, ist es wirklich laut und hallt den Flur hinunter.

Positiv:: The hostel was very clean. The bathrooms were cleaned every few hours. There was a nice mix of travelers,young and old,people travelling in groups and lone travelers. There were also young families and babies. Lots of people ,lots of activity. At night ,there was added security in the building. I was very happy with the Generator Hostel.

Negativ:: The mornings were rough .You had to time it right to get a sink in the bathroom. Everyone seemed to need the showers at the same time. You just have to try to avoid the busy times.

Positiv:: The atmosphere was amazing, the common areas were decorated impeccably, the staff were genuinely friendly, and the ground floor had enough chill out/get rowdy/eat food areas that a) you could always find a space suitable for your mood, and b) the rooms stayed quiet and peaceful. Also, the number of outlets was astounding, and the WiFi excellent, even though my room was on the fifth floor.

Negativ:: The toilets were backed up a few times. It was always fixed quickly, but the frequency of blockages was a little concerning.

Positiv:: Die Nähe zur Stadt, die Hotelmitarbeiter

Negativ:: keine toilette auf zimmer. kein warmes wasser wenn man nicht morgen früh aufsteht. einrichtung sehr spatanisch

Positiv:: The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. The prices are the best compared with others. The breakfast was always served in time and wasperfect.

Negativ:: Skype

Positiv:: Wir reisten mit einer Rollstuhlfahrerin und waren absolut begeistert vom Generator: Das Personal war stets hilfsbereit und bemüht, es gibt Aufzüge, Rampen und behindertengerechte WCs/Duschen. Zudem wurde uns auf Anfrage per Mail hin ein geräumiges Zimmer zugewiesen, welches sehr gut mit dem Rollstuhl befahrbar und erreichbar war. Das Frühstück bestand aus Cornflakes und Toast, aber war ok. Es war viel im Haus los, aber an den Eingängen war Personal, das schon kontrolliert hat wer reinkommt. Die Lage in der Nähe zum King's Cross ist super. Alles in allem ein super Aufenthalt, besonders für den Preis!

Positiv:: Great location

Negativ:: Cleanliness in the bathroom quite poor, one day there was not even hot water for the shower...

Positiv:: kontinentales frühstück,schnelle hilfe bei problemen,viele unterschiedliche leute

Positiv:: the bathroom was clean, honestly didnt expect that !!! and the staff were very helpful, and the hostel in general was secure. i would diffinetly stay there again in my next visit.

Positiv:: friendly staff, free wifi, excellent location.

Positiv:: The efficient re-action of the staff.

Negativ:: The floor carpet is very dirty. The electirc plug is not enought. There are obly two plugs for 4-bed room.

Positiv:: viele junge Leute, unkompliziert, sauber

Negativ:: viel Lärm am Gang und auch spät in der Nacht, Feueralarm um vier Uhr morgens

Positiv:: internationale Gäste, schnelle Hife bei Fragen/Problemen

Negativ:: etwas zu wenig Plätze beim Essen

Negativ:: Sauberkeit, WC ständig verschmutzt bzw. desolat, Duschen;

Positiv:: zentral gelegen, super Service einfach perfekt. Man kann dort einfach alles vorab buchen z.B. U-Bahn, Wachsfigurenkabinett usw. zu viel günstigeren Preisen als vor Ort!

Negativ:: Das Frühstück ist stark verbesserungswürdig! Besonders der Kaffee!

Positiv:: In der Nähe der U-Bahn-Station.

Negativ:: Das Zimmer hatte die Größe eines begehbaren wandschranks

Positiv:: Annehmlichkeiten, Zimmeroptionen

Negativ:: Viele Schreiende junge Kinder

Positiv:: Die Mitarbeiter waren über das Transportsystem informiert. Das ist eine große Hilfe. Die Lage der Jugendherberge war großartig... in der Nähe der U-Bahnstation und es gibt eine Bushaltestelle direkt vor der Jugendherberge. Das Café im Hostel bietet gutes Essen zu gutem Preis und zu einem guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Ich würde wahrscheinlich wieder hier übernachten.

Negativ:: Der Trockner war nicht in Ordnung. Die Mülltonnen können manchmal mit Müll stapeln. Die Duschböden waren die meiste Zeit nass.

Positiv:: I liked that it was well located (less than 10 minutes walk to the Elephant & Castle tube station), St Pancras train station is 15 minutes away by tube and there are many buses around the hostel. You can also find a Spar and a Tesco Express supermarket as well as many kebabs next door if you want to grab something to eat. I stayed in a 4 beds dorm wich was clean and I had a nice view on the Shard. Toilets and shared showers were clean too.

Negativ:: Wifi was only available in sharing areas (only reception, " bar " and tv lounge). Also, the windows in the dorm were old and made of glass that was partially shattered so you could hear the traffic as if you were sleeping in the street. It can also be quite cold so I don't recommend staying there during fall or winter. Bed's matresses aren't confortable so I wouldn't recommend staying there for too long either. When it comes to eating in, there is a bar near the reception that sells £4 pizzas, sandwiches, coffee and many other things but it is only open from 12 to 19 and during these hours there wasn't anyone working at the bar so I couldn't get anything...

Positiv:: This is the second time I have ever stayed in a hostel...I can say with confidence that I will definately stay here again... $20 a night?! Who could say no! Also close to Elephant and Castle tube station too!!

Negativ:: I personally dont think it a good idea to have children (both male and female) sharing the same shower and toilet facilities as adults. I would strongly recommend having at least 1 floor dedicated to minors!

Positiv:: Lovely place within the city centre, everything available at your door steps

Negativ:: Lights can be on even at 2 am, there is noise the whole night.washrooms and toilets are quite limited for a huge number of guests.

Positiv:: Lively place and great atmosphere. I stayed in a twin bunk ensuite and was perfect for a little more privacy. Bus stop right outside the gates

Negativ:: Wifi only available in common room and entertainment room

Positiv:: Room was actually pretty clean, and restrooms were heavily used, but cleaned regularly. Staff was always very nice and helpful. Room was spartan, but comfortable.

Negativ:: Very noisy - lots of commotion outside our room. Also, for some reason, they decided to shut the bathroom near us for cleaning every morning from about 7:30 to 8:15 - right when lots of folks were wanting to shower. Finally, I had requested a private room for our family, but they told me that they didn't have any , so I had to pay extra money to get a whole 10 person room. Still a decent rate overall, compared to other places, but not the rate i thought I would pay. Finally, don't count on getting wi-fi any time between 7:00 and 10:30 at night. There are so many people trying to connect that it is pretty much impossible.
