Generator Hostel London

I stayed at the Generator for a total for 5nights and I must say as far as hostels go this is the best you will find!
The location is not the best, somewhere in the back streets of Kings Cross, but you are only a 10minute walk from the Tube and St Pancras International.

I stayed at the Generator for a total for 5nights and I must say as far as hostels go this is the best you will find!
The location is not the best, somewhere in the back streets of Kings Cross, but you are only a 10minute walk from the Tube and St Pancras International.
If you are a young lady traveling by yourself in London, this is the place to be. Although it is a little more pricey for the girls dorm I would say go for it! Well lit mirrors and a makeup table, plenty of plugs for hair dryers and straighters and pretty pink walls!
There is also lock up cages for every bed and the showers a relatively clean and the water is HOT!
£5 for dinner and a drink and free cereal and toast in the mornings. (Although there is no Vegemite)
I met some really lovely girls in my dorm and never had a problem with noise.
The staff are friendly enough and you do get a free key chain to keep:)
Over all a real winner of a Hostel!!!!
