Smithfield Square Smithfield, Dublin, D7, Ireland
Experience our hostel in Dublin city center, with easy access to Dublin airport and Temple Bar. You'll find Generator Dublin in the hip Smithfield neighborhood; adjacent to the Jameson Distillery and just a short walk from Temple Bar. Our Dublin hotel features open social spaces and is equipped with a café/restaurant and a bar on-site. With its reclaimed wood, exposed brickwork and original stonework, the place has an unruffled, industrial feel. From the Irish music belting out of the pubs in Temple Bar to the elegant splendor of Georgian terraces and squares, the city has many fascinating faces – every one of them ready to greet you with a welcoming smile and a pint of Guinness.

Very Poor
The property was nice and clean
When I arrived at the property(to which I had booked for two nights), I was given my bed and room number.... When I went to the room there was another person in my bed.... I went to the reception desk and they informed me to go into a different bed which I accepted thinking that this bed would be my bed for the two nights.... The second night I arrived back to the room to find that the bed that I stayed in the night before that their was someone in that bed and the bed that I was assigned to the night before to which their was someone in it had the same sheets as the night before.... I went back to reception to get no satisfaction of the members of staff but they gave me another bed in another room but when I went to that room there was a guy in that bed.... this happened in twice more before I finally got a bed assigned to another room which I got no satisfaction from the staff on the night.... The staff informed me that their policy was once you arrive at the room you can pick any bed u want in the room and the security can't get that person out of the room....

Good location. Good value for money.
Keys stopped working in the morning before check-out time, locking us out of our room when we wentto use shared bathroom. Hassle to go down to front desk ti get key re-enabled when you have all your shower stuff with you.

Location was perfect. Instructions and communication with staff before and while stay was clear, understandable and fully informative. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms and toilets were clean at all time. (Even late at night, middle of the day, early in the morning) Soap and toilet paper were never missing.
The biggest downside was the size of window. We had room with just one small window so heat was present in our room almost at all time. We had room for 8 people with 80x80 window. Even thought we had a fan. We had to keep doors open at all time. Also the rooms had some stains here and there but nothing that would ruin the experience.

It was in really close proximity to the city centre so it was easy to get around.
