Very Good
It’s got a good vibe, cool location, and nice amenities available. We’re a family of four (kids ages 13 and 15) and it was great to have a private room and bath. Though not flashy, it was comfortable and lovely and affordable. We would certainly stay again.
Nothing.

The room was quiet even with 5 roommates
I wish towels were provided same as locks for the locker. I could have just returned it back when I moved out. The only option was the lock purchase

The location was ideal! It's located in the middle of a huge park, makes you feel like you're in the trees when on the back patio, walking distance to restaurants, bars, museums and shops
The bed in the pod was really uncomfortable

Located in a great area, with easy tram access to the city centre, and the facility was spotless. The common areas were also very enjoyable and well designed.

Place was very nice and the Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The facilities were excellent, and everyone had a smile on their faces, both Staff and Guests.
The Pods were a bit dirty, and while arranging my own suitcase before checking out, I noticed a cleaner in an adjacent Pod brushing out the top of the mattress and putting in new linen and pillows but did not lift up the mattress to clean under it. This should be common practice.

We booked the 4 bed unit with private bath for my family with 2 toddlers. I would say that Generator is a great place for college age folks.
For the price point, Generator under delivered on every level. No towels at all, beds not made, smaller room than it seemed in photos. It’s easy to hear other guests above and around. I think Generator is severely overpriced.

Nice location, comfortable pod, quiet and lively if you want it at the same time.
Only two things I didn’t like:
the guy working the reception is not very polite, I understand it can get busy but he is very indifferent and doesn’t answer questions and just pretends he doesn’t hear and talks to his coworkers. I had to pay for a towel two times because he forgot to give me one during check-in and when I came back to ask for it because I paid online after I booked, he said that I already took it and that if I want “another one” he couldn’t give it to me and that I have to pay a new one. I asked him to look at the cameras to see if he gave it to me but he dismissed me.
The other thing was the bathrooms, the floor of the bathroom was always full of water, and I don’t mean wet because someone just showered I mean always full of at least 2-3 cm of water. And the toilets have stalls with absolutely no privacy, you could actually see through so many cracks in the door. So it was a bit uncomfortable.

The hotel is in a great location and we had a great view of the park. Beds were comfortable and staff were really nice.
Our room was boiling hot and not way to control the air as it was controlled by the hotel and they couldn’t change it. We couldn’t open a window so it felt very claustrophobic

The location was exceptional. It required some getting used to the tram, but the location inside a beautiful park was more than one could hope for.
The facilities were mostly adequate. Just two things. The washing basin was a little clogged, and when we filled it, it took a whole night to drain. I had a mind to report it to the staff. The other thing, just a worry of an old woman. The lamps on the desks were all rickety. One on the desk may have been missing a fastening piece? It wouldn’t stay in place.

The Hostel is located in the heart of a beautiful park, close to public transportation and shops
First night I couldn't sleep, it was 23:00, and some young people, probably on a school trip, were running in the corridor and making a lot of noise. There is a noise policy, but it is not enforced.

The customer approach and service is splendid. I wanted to store my luggage at the hotel at 9:45 to stroll the city before checking in, but these guys checked me in right away — hours before I could expect it.
Also Sarah at the breakfast bar was super nice making the morning even better.
Private room is very bright and clean.

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.
Thank you for your information!
