The sleeping options at Generator London fall into three groups: dorms, quads and private rooms. Dorm beds are sold per bed per night, the usual route for travellers watching spend, and quads split a four-person room between a small group. Private rooms give you a door you can close and are sold per room rather than per bed. All options come with the free WiFi listed among the hostel's facilities (see Youth Hostels). Rates move with demand across the year, so treat any figure you see as a snapshot of the dates you searched rather than a standing rate. Free cancellation applies on the listing, so a booking can be reversed within the terms stated when you book.
