I`m used to stay in Generator since 2016. Mostly, I stay there for my business or personal visit to Paris. However, I have never thought about choosing a place to stay. Why? The generator has a worthy price, friendly staff, nice terrace with a view of Montmartre (sometimes there is an event). Comparing to the other hostel I experienced in Paris... the generator is the best. Sometimes I`ve upgraded my room when I go there with 2~3 friends (I`ve already got the upgraded room 3 times).
If you plan to visit the generator, I strongly recommend that you try to go smoking on the ground floor. You can easily meet random people, but really nice people or new travel mates. The staff are also amiable, so they are candidates to be friends as well.
The location is also recommendable for me. The generator is nearby 'Canal Saint-Martin' where Local French people`s one of the favourite place. Moreover, you can go everywhere in Paris in 20 min. by metro.
I`m not an expert in hotel reviewer. but I want to grantee the 'generator Paris' If you're hurting your brain by searching.
