Disappointing

Good location, no common area, no way to heat food, clean room, poorly trained staff but some are friendly. Hostel focused on profitability more than friendliness.

Very positive experience

I only used the Generator for sleeping (room 10), so I can't comment on the other features it offers, like the club or breakfast, but my experience was perfect. The welcome was friendly, the place was clean, and I felt safe.

Ideally located 450 meters from the sea and a 10-minute walk from the train station. Self-catering in the fully equipped kitchen, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Aurélien CERRONE

Ideal location in the heart of the city of Nice.

As always, we received a warm welcome. The renovations didn't bother us at all. It's worth noting that we weren't expecting hotel services, but for the first time, we found the rooms unclean. We had ordered packed lunches for lunch, and again, we were disappointed compared to usual.

Rathiga Puganenthiran

Have a good stay

I had a good stay in a female dormitory room with 6 beds. Lockers with lock available for each bed but the locations are not always adequate (especially for people sleeping on the bed above). Bathroom and toilet inside the room. We can't cook but we can bring food from outside and eat there, use the hostel's microwave and hot water :) User-friendly ! Comfortable sofa, board games available, also very good for working. 30 minutes from the station by tram. Tram about 6 minutes walk.

Great 8.4

Juliette Chevalier

Nice, but they don't respect the "females only" room you booked

It's a very nice hostel, but you have to know that they don't respect the room that has been reserved! They don't give you a bed in a room with the requested number of beds, nor with the requested gender (women only). It can be a bad surprise for some!

Quite satisfied except for this bottom access door that makes the walls shake when it closes. The problem Not solved, it must have been going on for weeks. Toilets with hinged door to be reviewed… you need to do a good refresh
