I had a decent stay at Generator Barcelona, with the location being a major highlight. The staff were friendly and helpful, but there were a few issues including the shower's lack of ventilation and the lack of cleanliness in some common bathrooms. Overall, it was a good place for meeting people and resting my head after a long day of exploring. 🌍🤝

My stay at Generator Barcelona was overall a solid experience, thanks to its great location and friendly staff. I found the common areas well-maintained and inviting, which encouraged a relaxed vibe. However, I felt that the amenities did not quite justify the price I paid, and there were some moments that could have been improved. It's a decent option if you prioritize location and service over upscale accommodation.
