The cleaning and reception staff were excellent Except for one guy at reception in the afternoon who was quite rude, everything else was great.

Great atmosphere, party hostel and had a lot of games to play around the reception with a bar. Room was clean, comfortable and spacious. What more could you want?
The hostel is a bit on the pricier side, although Dublin is expensive so can't fault them too much for that.

No hotel, no hostel, no home can garantee a quiet space - the world goes on around us. Especially in a hostel with an appreciation for individual and group travel. I saw a staff member kindly ask a young couple coming in with a little too much drink on them to sit to the side. I was very impressed the way he handled it respectful to all. This is just one example of the experienced and kindness of staff. Addictionally when i couldnt sleep due to not some snoring but the other lady getting annoyed at her and kept waking her up - instead of getting cross at the one that wasnt happy and unable to ubderstand no-one can help snoring in their sleep - staff gave me another bed available thankfully. Again, ensuring peace between clientale as i didnt want to be trying to handle the situation myself and become upset.
I miss the continental breakfast. However the breakfast from the menu was fab. I will get used to the change in menu as i love the energy and professionalism at The Generator.

People were friendly and location very handy for Heuston station, which was handy as it turned out the Luas doesn't start till quite late on Sunday morning.
No curtain for the bunks which could be a problem in a mixed room, you definitely need to be sure and bring some comfortable night clothes to sleep in.
