From time to time I stay in London, usually for just one or two 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 chose a twin room - I usually visit London with 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 are all nearly identical (I have never been in the dorm rooms but I presume these are probably very similar). The rooms - and in fact the whole place - have a futuristic design. The rooms are always very clean and warm, and the beds very comfortable. There are toilet facilities on each floor - usually several per floor, though on one stay I did find I had to go through quite a few corridors and doors to reach them. The toilets are clean, and toilet rolls, etc well stocked.
There are plenty of facilities in the hotel, though I haven't tried many of them, as there generally isn't time. These include a bar, eating area, and internet (again I haven't needed to use the internet there, so I don't know what the prices for this are).
Breakfast is included in the price, and while it is quite basic - cereal, bread (there is a toaster available) - you can eat as much as you like, and I have never left there hungry in a morning.
There are rules on noise - the hotel is in a residential area so guests are asked to keep noise to a minimum, and late at night noise other than in the bar areas is not permitted. However on a few occasions I have been unable to get to sleep easily due to noise (including music which I presume was coming from the "sound proofed" area where noise is allowed) - sometimes a lot of shouting about from nearby corridors/rooms. The notices about noise in the rooms says that that sort of noise will not be accepted and they have people prevent this, but on occasions I have wondered if they really do!
If you are ever staying in London and don't want to pay for more expensive hotels, I definitely recommend the Generator.
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. ...

Advantages: Good menu, some decent set-menu offers Disadvantages: Only in central London at present
"First opened in 1955, today Spaghetti House still brings the same authentic Italian passion for conviviality to neighbourhood restaurants throughout the West End of London. Generations of Londoners have been enjoying Spaghetti House..." - from their website
Years and years ago, before marriage and babies and divorce and death, my parents were students in London and, in their dating days, frequented the Spaghetti House restaurant. That's not the reason their two offspring ate there on a recent trip to London - once again that would be thanks to Mr Tesco and his mighty Clubcard Deals - but it makes a nice story.
We were in London to watch the Gymnastics at the O2. Since it kicked off at 6.30pm, a rather inconvenient time, we decided a big lunch was in order to tide us over. Having both travelled down / over to the capital that ...
Advantages: Easy and cheap to fly to. Great place when you get there. Disadvantages: Maybe the Guggenheim doesn't quite do it for me.
democracy made 25 years ago, was to make all regional languages official. So, for example, in Catalunya, Catalan and Spanish apply, in Gallicia, it?s Gallego and Spanish and here in the Basque region, it?s Basque and Spanish. In Madrid it?s Spanish and ?errr?.Spanish.
THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM
For the uninitiated, don?t be fooled by the ?museum? bit, it?s an art gallery, in the same way that the Tate Modern is. As well as the kind of exhibit, these two share something else, a dramatic site. Tate Modern as we may all know by now is built in the old generator hall of London?s defunct Bankside power station. The Guggenheim (or ?El Goug? as it?s affectionately known) is, by contract, a new building erected on the banks of the River Nervión in the center of Bilbao. At first sight, it?s difficult to take it all in, being the size of a respectable ...
