Hostel was very basic but served its purpose. Photos are far better than place - not even sure they are from the Generator we stayed at (turns out there are 2 in Berlin). Quite remote so reliant on public transport or a taxi to get anywhere. Communication issue - they initially claimed not to be aware of our booking asking for confirmation/receipt. Bar was under construction which wasn’t ideal. Nearest bar - 10 minute walk away. Only saving grace was the kebab restaurant/take away which was 2 mins away.

Adequate rooms, showers did not have a constant temperature and the vending machines at the reception were cash only which was a little frustrating.

You get what you pay for. Wasn't expecting the beds to be as comfortable as they were. The constant music was not to my liking, would have liked more variation instead of just techno/house. Breakfast was fine. The showers were tiny, which meant that the toilets and the floor immediately outside the shower/toilet were wet.

Hostel was for purpose although a little far outside of the centre for easy travel in.

Aside from coming 9th out of 12, the karting was quality. We took cabs with our guide from the hostel to the karting, which I'd highly recommend after a night out. I was worried the karting wouldn't be ong enough but i'd say 30 minutes was easily enough. You get a good 10-15 minutes qualifying and then a 20 minute race was plenty. The karts go a decent speed and the place itself is really well run. There's a bar (if you can stomach it), and there are a good 4-5 marshalls around the place to make sure people who spin are put back on the track and the slow people are blue flagged!

I was really impressed with the hostel. I've stayed in some real dives so I was pleasantly surprised to find the hostel was clean, the staff were helpful and you felt safe. The rooms were a really good size for 4 and the beds were long enough for a tall person (I'm 6' 2"). The lighting and stuff is a bit weird...or funky, depending on your perspective! The only thing I would say is that we had to pay for breakfast even though we thought it was included, and also it's a shame towels can't be provided. Aside from that, it was really good.

We arrived at the hostel at 10am. This just happened to be the checking out time for everyone that had stayed there the night before, so we had no chance of being able to check in. This was no ones fault, it was just bad timing. This made our first impressions of the hostel to be unorganised, simply due to the numbers of people milling around in the reception area. When we did manage to check in (after a visit to the pub next door) we were informed that 2, 6 bed dorm rooms had been booked for us. I had specifically asked for 6 twin rooms. Our contact at Adreniline city (marcus) informed me that I had to deal with this issue directly with Chillisause. There was nothing Chillisause could do about this as the hostel was fully booked without any twin rooms available. This breakdown in comunications is something that I feel Chillisause could have dealt with slightly better from the initial booking.

Very enjoyable. Food was good and the stripper was much better and had a better sense of humour than the previous ones.

Much better than the wrestling event the night before. The food was tasty and the location and personnel 100% better than the previous evening!

Generator was a decent hostel with friendly staff and fellow occupants. The rooms were basic, but were good enough for my needs.
