Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The area was good and staff were nice. However, the pod itself wasn't well ventilated. Woke up feeling like I was suffocating from the dry air.

The Generator is fantastic!! I stayed in one of the pods. If you haven't done it, you have to try it! I slept amazingly well and they are so comfy and cozy! The staff is very helpful and easy going. The breakfast is delcious and not too expensive. Save some $$ and pre-buy your breakfast at the front desk. :) Neat history...fun place...good price!!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Run away!
Six bunk beds in a 2.5 x 2.5-meter room; don't stretch out with your arms so long, or you'll hit your neighbor in the face. They lack a kitchen or refrigerator to store food. I stayed only one night and fled. I don't recommend it.

This was great for a group booking, a really good price for 4 of us to have a room together. Everything was clean and comfortable, with a good on site cafe and a tram line about a 5 minute walk away. The hostel backs onto a big park as well which was nice in the good weather!

For what it is (a hostel), it is great! Staff were responsive, great location, especially around art week, and museums (if you have the time for it). Location is near a zoo Artis, so there are surprisingly unique birds clustered together.

i cannot speak for the “Hostel” part of the hotel as I booked a private room, but from my experience this place is very quiet and comforting, the bed is nice the view is fantastic and the bathroom was spotless. the hotel itself is a 15-20 minute walk from amsterdam city center so you definitely do not need to take a cab. In hindsight, it is a tiny bit pricey, but other than that it’s good for what it is.
