The location is great for walking to all the tourist areas and is right next to the train station, but I don't think this is a 4 star hotel as Google maps indicates. It is a very pricey hostel with shady surroundings. No amenities are provided and need to pay extra for even towels.

Staff were friendly and helpful.Location close to Termini and Ancient Sites was great.
It was a shame that there was no access to the roof terrace between 10:00 and 18:00 and the bar was shut.
Single room was adequate,bathroom good and bed comfortable.The lack of a fridge was a real shame.
Probably wouldn’t go back.

Sillly rules about eating and drinking in the room. Food available looked poor, We ate outside during the holiday.
The area looked run down with lots of grafitti and litter.
If you are prepared to walk about 1 to 2 kilometres there were many good restaurants,

Convenient, affordable stay in Rome
Generator Rome was a nice, affordable stay in Rome. It's conveniently located to the metro and the Colosseum. The room was nice and industrial style - nothing fancy (no mini fridge), but very nice for the price. The staff is friendly, the front desk is stocked with snacks, and the rooftop bar is cute.

Generator Rome features an excellent location a short walk from Roma Termini and public transport. The room and facility was very clean and the staff very friendly. The rooftop breakfasts/bar was another excellent feature. The location is excellent for logistics but a more rundown part of the city.

Overpriced
We stayed 3 nights in a twin. It was essentially a hotel room, big and spacious with private bathroom. No problem with noise and very close to the train station.
However, no breakfast included, no kitchen and the washing machines are 4 euro per wash or dry, expensive.
I wouldn’t stay again as I think it’s very overpriced, I’d just stay in a regular hotel.

Acceptable hostel, the 24 hour front desk was nice, especially because my flights were in the middle of the night. The elevator was broken so they directed us to a sketchy service elevator. There was some mold above it but none in the room itself. Generally just good

Lovely and safe hostel. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm and felt so comfortable and safe. The room was so clean and the area was very quiet. The hostel is close to the metro and train station so was convenient to get around Rome. There were also luggage lockers which were very affordable if you want to leave your bag there after checkout. The only downsides were the lack of self catering facilities and the rooftop was only open for breakfast and then 6pm-midnight.
