The location was perfect, close to great restaurants, walkable grocery shops and tourist spots. The room is spacious enough for us, bed is comfortable though enough for a single person per bed, fresh towels daily. I would love to stay here again once I get back to Stockholm!

Very friendly, helpful staff. A great bar, which we went to each night. Good location, 15 min walk into centre.
Room was clean, lots of storage and hooks. Could hear people and music in next room, guessing walls quite thin. Beds comfortable with reading lights and storage. They brought bath mat/hand towel when wrote on review. Would have expected towels.
Over all a great hostel, would recommend.

Very good hostel. Clean, great location, close to the train station and right in the city. I wish you could bring your own drinks and food to eat in the shared space but they don’t allow it so you have to eat in your room which is unfortunate. Also need to pay to use the game facilities. Overall very nice though

This is a very good hostel with an excellent location. I would have given a higher rating if the check-in had gone smoother. The girl at the reception asked for my passport and I was about to hand it to her when she without an explanation just left, leaving me "hanging". Besides that, it was a very good experience staying with Generator Stockholm.

Very basic accommodation. There is not much restaurants or cafes in the area and the hostel dining options are very limited. They also do not allow you to bring food inside so that is very inconvenient especially if you're travelling with family, let alone an elderly parent with diabetes. Oh well, maybe we just missed this from the fine print but I don't like it and why would even have a policy like this at all? Not everyone who stays here are backpackers.
I tried to give 3 stars bec of the 2 staff who were accommodating and answered my questions.

It's only 9 min from Arlanda Express or Stockholm central. I booked a room for 2 and had a private bathroom event though it says hostel. My room looked like a regular good hotel. Bedding was impressively white and clean. I will definitely stay there again.
