The Generator Mitte surpassed our expectations - great food and drink, lovely, helpful staff, comfortable beds and the most perfect location! Music was a little loud for morning coffee in the cafe but otherwise no complaints and we would stay there again.

The pod option is nice for a short stay. Quiet, convenient, and well designed. The staff is very friendly and supportive, and never hesitated to answer any questions and give advice. There are many restaurants and shops in the area and it’s a stone throw from the public transport.

Easy to find. Right next to the tram stop. Everything was walkable distance though. The pods themselves are large and clean however the mattress is very basic. Would be nice to have a lock system on the actual pod itself. Staff were friendly and happy to help. Showers were hot and mostly clean.

Decent hostel but not great design for bunk beds

Everything was fine expect the fact the ladder for the upper bed in the bunk was kept too high for Any one to climb. Especially getting down is a challenge as the guests have to jump down due to the height

Cool place to stay in Berlin-Mitte. I stayed in a POD, individual bed-cabin with shared bathroom. It was completely ok. Safe and very silent. They have lockers available at the room after your checkin and lockers to rent in case of needing a place to leave luggages before ckin. Friendly staff. Affordable price on having a more privacy. 1-2 min walking from Oranienburger station 7-8 min walking from Friedrichstraße 5-6 min walking from Museumsinsel 10-12 min walking from Fernsehturm-Alexanderplatz 15-20 min walking from Brandenburger Tor 30-35 min by train to Brandenburg Airport
