Good suburb location in terms like London allow about 45 mins to get to most central attractions. Metropolitan metro line. Longer to Montmatre. Come up from station and look into the roundabout and you’ll see Generator curved to one side with neon letter front signage - approx 100m walk.
There’s a boulangerie patisserie, bistro, pizza takeaway, small supermarket and pharmacy all around the same roundabout as well as 3 bistro restaurants (one is French).
Rooftop was closed throughout the whole 7 days I stayed. Like the last Generator I stayed.
Bed linen is changed every 5 days, but you can ask to swap towels at reception regularly.
Unisex dorms only. Take flip flops as the boys pee and they don’t mop the floors and there are no bath mats/racks to stand on when you step out of showers.
Lifts take a while as it’s a big place and was full of several school groups and many getting drunk.
Massive hostel not far from the Saint Martin canal, modern and safe and rooms are quiet, but for other bunkers of course, so take ear plugs and eye mask as you should for any hostel :).
Bar food until 10:30 in eve and one veggie option.
Vending machines in reception.
Laundry there too.
