Generator Paris

The Generator is a great place for solo travellers if you're staying in Paris. You have lots of options, you can stay in a room with a lot of people if you're a social person or in a smaller room with fewer people if you're not much of a social person (me). Have a private bathroom, shower and sink in the room was great. Staff were friendly and helpful, there's a security guy and also snack machines inside. There's also a rooftop bar to hangout and a café with lunch and dinner options. Supermarket (Franprix) nearby with ready to eat meals was great. There's also a metro station (Line 2 - Colonel Fabbien) right next to the Hostel.

The location is great—right next to Colonel Fabien metro station, making it easy to get around. The room was modern, clean, and the lighting was good. The bathroom layout was practical, and the rooftop view was a nice bonus. Staff were generally helpful, and the vibe of the common areas was cool and welcoming.

I stayed here for two weeks, longer than most people usually stay in a hostel. I must say that this is a great budget stay in Paris, even though you will share your room with half a dozen other people. The attached restaurant is a plus. One day, our toilet was completely clogged and almost overflowed, so I informed the staff, and upon my return to the hostel the toilet was functioning again. That was brilliant! The location is good for those who need to get to the center or north of Paris quickly, though it's quite far to reach the south of the city.

I accidentally found this hostel on Booking.com, and to be honest, I was really pleased with my stay. I usually book a private double room, and I was incredibly lucky that this hostel offers such rooms — and with a bathtub, too! The room turned out to be super clean, cozy, with access to a terrace and a huge double bed. The bed had an excellent mattress and orthopedic pillows — it was absolutely wonderful! The room is compact, but honestly, you don’t need anything more. As a bonus, the bathroom had both a bathtub and a shower cabin. The only thing missing in the room was a mini-fridge. It would be great to have one, especially if you buy macarons and need to keep them cool. I was very satisfied with everything. I’ll gladly recommend this hostel to everyone, and whenever I’m in Paris, I’ll be staying at this hostel again.

This was my first stay at a hostel so I didn't know what to expect but I had a great experience. I just stayed as a mini-layover in Paris for 3 days. But I had a bed in the 8 bed female dormitory room and it was really nice! You get a personal box under your bed that you can lock. There is a breakfast place that is nice! Nice facilities! The receptionists were exceptional! Special thanks to them as they were very accommodating and responsive to any issues I had (late check in & lock problem or room key issues). Private bathroom in the room which was clean!
