Central, convenient . Staff polite and helpful(except security guard who could have been more polite) other staff made up for his short comings - I was a lone women who he advised me to move away from the property whilst trying to update booking.com app to show my booking reference . Last minute booking as I had missed my train home)

The Generator hotel is a Humble Place and is a hidden gem! With its university dormitory feel, it's the perfect spot for anyone looking for a cozy retreat. The snacks, breakfast, and food are all delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. As a 52-year-old, I felt like I was young again! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay." 😊
