Generator Hostels

A great choice for backpackers, the Hamburg branch of Generator Hostels is located near to the central station in a former recording studio where John, Paul, George and Ringo once famously played. As well as its music history credentials, it offers good twin, double, triple and quad rooms, mixed dormitories for up to eight, and a women-only dorm. Dorm beds start at 16 EUR per night. The design throughout Generator is hip and refreshing, with exposed brick walls, big floor-to-ceiling windows and works by local artists. There are plenty of additional comforts too, including a laundry service, rental bikes and the vibrant Helter Skelter bar that’s as popular with locals as it is with hostel guests.
