The area is very safe. We did not like having to make our own beds, especially because we had elderly people with us, so trying to put bedding on bunk beds was exhausting. We were OK climbing up the bunks, because we knew that beforehand, but we didn't realize the beds would not be prepared. Also, there are no towels. You need to rent them for, I think it was, €7 or bring your own. So we just didn't shower. 😕 Plus the sink wouldn't properly drain.

I know this isn’t the Rosewood, but this feels like a rip-off on all accounts. Clogged shower and drain, you have to make your own bed in a private room, windows don’t open, there’s nothing provided besides soap, you have to rent towels, breakfast was the worst ever, bikes were in a rough shape (and that did not prevent the hotel from charging a fairly hefty price), and I can go on. Honestly, one of my WORST stays ever.

I had a lovely stay in a 'pod' room at Generator Amsterdam during my trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the Pod was clean and fairly comfortable- no less comfy than a bunk, but with a bit more privacy. Cafe had food and drinks at reasonable prices. While I wasn't here long enough to check out the club or bar, the vibes were good all around and I felt safe and comfortable staying the night here. An interesting and positive experience! I would definitely consider coming back if I'm traveling solo in the area again. S, 27, USA
