The UK's largest, liveliest and funkiest hostel is located in the centre of London, and is the perfect place to meet other backpackers from all over the world.
Advantages: cheap, clean, comfortable beds, breakfast (basic but as much as you want) Disadvantages: sometimes no noise rules not enforced enough
...nights. Until I found the Generator, I stayed in various cheap hotels/hostels. They were all ok, but since finding the Generator, I would never go back to the others.
I first found it on an advert board in a hotel/B&B place at Gatwick airport (where I work) when I was looking for a place to stay. The price seemed almost too cheap and I was concerned that maybe it might not be a very pleasant stay.
I realised I was wrong when I arrived there. I ... ...a friend - as the price was not very different to that of the dorms. The price varies slightly - I think according to time of year, etc - but is usually somewhere between about £45 and £50 for the room, working out at about £20 to £25 per person. I'm not sure of the price of the dorm rooms, but I think possibly you could take £5 off per person.
It was very easy to find, and is only a short walk from the tube station at Russell Square.
The rooms ...

Advantages: position in london Disadvantages: they don't know honnesty
...explain you my journey at the generator in london. Forgive me for my english, i am spanish.
To begin, i made a reservation for two bedrooms on their internet website. (we were 10 persons) it didn't work very good, but at the end, i succeed and took 2 bedrooms correctly. I had to give my credit card number, but it was writen it will not be charge. It was just a guarantee.
The day before our arrival, i call them in order to know if the reservation ... ...at my name. (??) despite the fact i have given them my credit card number, my name, and despite the number of my reservation he cannot find it (i wonder why they give one if it is not useful...) He said me the reservation was certainly cancelled, but he didn't know why. It was not very good for us, we had no explanation, and we have a plane for this journey... So, he ask me if i want to made another reservation. I was ok, by chance there were 2 bedrooms ...

The Generater is situated, in Russel Square. Which is only 2 tube stops from Londons Kings Cross train station. It is a very expensive and pleasant part of London(despite a bargain of £15 a night)
I always stay here now when visiting London.
The generater is very modern and ideal for students, packpackers and is reat for everyone between 13 and 30. Although I have seen older people. It is extremely clean and facilities are fantastic, with internet ... ...with youngsters. For such a great place £15 per night in a dorm room is a bargain,usually sharing with 5-6 others. But this is not a problem as every one is usually very polite and go to sleep early. If you want a bit more privacy you can get single or double rooms but are slightly more expensive. Breakfast is included with all accomodation.
Ther is no curfew and is a must if staying in London. ...
