Definitely a hostel and not a hotel, the Generator London is ideal if you need a place to lay your head inbetween the endless parties and sight seeing that are the real reason you came to London. That’s not to say it doesn’t have its charms: a strong street aesthetic gives the place an edgy, urban vibe that makes it a great place to hang out with your friends all night rather than go to sleep. Not that we’re recommending you do that…

With a variety of rooms at a variety of rates, new power showers and a laundry to help keep you looking respectable (you are in the middle of Bloomsbury), the Generator is probably the best hostel in the city for exploring London for however long and with however many friends.
