Generator Rome

- The rooms are kept very clean and tidy, beds aren’t squeaky. - Staffs are extremely friendly & helpful. - Public areas are spacious and nice to chill in.

I stayed in a very comfortable 8 bed mixed dorm. There were two bathrooms with great showers, the room was ample and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The hostel is close to several restaurants and at walking distance from Roma Termini station. There's a nice rooftop bar with food and drinks for tired travellers. The absolute best part was the staff. Lorenzo at the reception went above and beyond to help and support my inquiries about city tours, using the Metro, walking around, and all the questions I had about how to enjoy the city better. He also made great latte macchiatos! I strongly recommend Generator Rome to all travelers.

I am in awe of the well-prepared beds, regularly maintained toilets and lavatories, and polite and friendly staff. I didn't expect that the room adjoins 2 en-suite rooms, which was welcomed as I can have access to any of the 2 toilets/bathrooms when needed. The location is near the Roma Termini, which is accessible to all public transport options when visiting Rome. There are spacious places to store your luggage and stuff. The hostel is also located in Rome's most multi-cultural neighbourhoods. You can have access to different restaurants and cuisines offering variety and affordability. I did not access the shared kitchen, which I assume they have (but was not reiterated to me when I checked in), so I am unable to comment on this. They also have a lounge and a rooftop facility, which I did not use. Make sure you ask the reception what facilities are made available for you or events available during the period you are staying.

I didn't have breakfast as there was many places around honest but I did have dinner in the cafe/bar almost every other night. The food was really good and for a great price. Everyone at the front desk was so pleasant and helpful. They made my 1st time staying at a hostel enjoyable. The 7 min walk from the train station was a huge bonus. I didn't take the train but the bus service from and to the airport and it saved me alot of money! I felt extremely safe staying there because you have to have your key to access the building at all times. They make sure that safety is a top priority. Also don't be discouraged by the amount of graffiti it is just art and everyone pretty much mind their own business as you are walking the streets. The beds were extremely comfortable especially from walking all day. The lockers under the bunkbeds were a great size for a carryon and they had bigger lockers on the main floor free of charge.

The staff were so approachable and helpful. Kirby and Racel were happy to help anytime. Francis also assisted me in moving my luggages and even lent me a cart so that I can easily move around. They are good assets of the hostel. The service in general was awesome. The room was well-maintained by friendly Filipino staff. And the location was close to restaurants and shops.
