Solid beds, clean, in a great location in Dublin City. Thar Cionn. Quiet. Great service from all attending staff. Amenities all close by. Clean towels for a small price, locks for sale. All in.

Wochenende Reise

Was gut, lohnt sich.
Great hostel, totally worth the money. Nice vibe, clean rooms, and a very cool design. Just a small heads-up: a couple of times I noticed some people in the bar who looked like homeless guys. But honestly, it was no big deal (ниче), they were harmless and the security handles everything well. Overall, a solid place to stay in Dublin!

We love our lively open-plan bar environment, which is popular with both travelers and the local community. However, the comfort and safety of our guests remain our absolute priority. I am pleased to hear that our 24/7 security team looked after you well and kept the environment secure.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Generator Dublin soon!

This hostel is well-located with the Luas station nearby. It is also close to the Jameson Distillery Museum and the Guinness Brewery and within walking distance of the city centre.
