Location Generator Amsterdam is located inside a really nice park where there's mixed utilities like basketball, tennis courts, and general greenery. It's also in the oost side of Amsterdam, about 20 minutes tram from central station, maybe 5–10 minute walk to the two different tram stops. Room (positives) Typical hostel room, with the deluxe king we got towels also included (you need to pay otherwise.) Cleanliness (positives) The shower area and toilet were both clean so no complaints there.
Reception & Check-in/out We arrived to the hotel at 1600, with check-in meant to be for 1400 we made sure to give room for error. Yet, the room we had booked wasn't ready when we tried to checkin. When we asked when, the staff didn't know. They said wait around the area maybe, 30–40 minutes. When we waited and eventually went to check 45 minutes later, it was done. For the staff: The room should have been ready at checkin time. If the room wasn't ready, you should know it wasn't ready and why and communicate it. When the room did become ready and you know people are waiting, come over and tell them... Room (negatives) The mattress itself was relatively thin, maybe 5cm. It felt like it was also two singles wrapped together with a divet in the centre. The bed frame itself was a squeaky metal one, if you were doing adult nighttime activities all of china would have known. From within the bedroom, you could hear other rooms talking, although not very loudly. You could also frequnetly hear people in the hallways, children running up and down. Cleanliness (negatives) The white sheets did have some very minor dirt on them something brown stuck that came off. Not the end of the world but the cleaning staff probably would have noticed and just left it? Outside, given it's a park, rats / mice were in the bushes outside the hotel. Overall value This is all par for the course really in a hostel, I don't mind lowered expectations. With that said, I'd not go back at the cost of 700+ for 3 nights. It missed every chance to get points it could.

Check in time. Mixed room. Breakfast Situation: Standing in line to get a coffee. So the eggs in the plate got cold.

I’ve stayed at the generator many times, each and every time the rooms clean the shower works the bar and facilities are clean, tidy and well organised. I really enjoy walking around the Oosterpark, local wildlife, birds mainly swimming around. Super value!
You can’t really enjoy a bong anywhere

Really comfy beds
No curtains. And huge windows that looked out onto the park. Couldn’t exchange rooms as the hostel was full. Everyone could see us in bed. Maintenance didn’t work weekends so we were given a sheet to try and hang between the bunks.

The front of house staff at reception were not very welcoming. Additionally, the top bunk bed felt quite unsafe due to its height, and the ladder/stairs were a bit slippery, making it difficult and potentially dangerous to climb up and down.
