...has anybody stayed here? http://www.generatorhostels.com/london/
Reason why I ask is that I might be staying there for 3/4 nights in November and its like realllyyy cheap (£50 for 4 nights) so like its my only option tbh as I'm skint.
Is it an ok place to stay? I mean, I know I'll be getting what I'm paying for sorta thing but like, I'm just wondering whether it will be better than the other hostels around London.
Mmm also, and I know this is gonna sound reallllllyyyy lame but like, will there be plug sockets available to use in the rooms? Reason why I ask is like, I will need to charge up my mobile phone and use my hair straighteners and stuff. Haha. I can't go days without using my phone!!!
Any replies would be appreciated

I'd just spend an extra £50 and get a travellodge.
and have sex like we did
No.
We had KFC and breakfast, that was it. You must have dreamed the rest.
Sorry.
Just an extra £50?
I'm proper skint. Why spend £100 rather than £50?
Have you noticed on the web site that you're supposed to be one of the 12 people sleeping in the same room? Personally, I wouldn't be going there.
There are wide choice of bed & breakfast for about £20 p/n (+ discount for more than 3 nights). If you're not so rushy, I'll try to sort out something for you.
I'd prefer my own room tbh but I don't think its gonna be possible.
I'm not in a rush as such but I'd like to get it booked in the next couple of weeks to be honest. I'm an organised person you see
I'll see what I can do this week.
Any particular place in London, or...wherever?
That's still going to be a fair chunk more than £50 for 4 nights though. Not been to that hostel but most of them have plug sockets in the room that you can use at your own risk. Email em and ask is probably best.
They have over 200 rooms and 800 beds, everything from a 1 bed room to something like 14 beds to a room.
I'd certainly recommend it for the atmosphere
oh?
Travel Lodges in Central London are far more expensive than that. The one in Euston is £79 PER NIGHT so it would cost far more than the extra fifty quid suggested!
I'd much rather stay in a hostel than a Travel Lodge, maybe that makes me weird but there are always interesting people (read: nutters) in hostels and that always makes for amusing times... even better if they have extended happy hours (which most of 'em seem to, especially on t'continent) :thumb:
@Thunderstruck
Sorry for coming across, but ...have you got an idea what does your avatar says?! Because I know and I don't think it's very cool. It's like showing Hitler's portrait with written: Kill all Jews! undernearth :chin:
I remember cuz I remember getting annoyed cuz I couldn't straighten my hair and looked like a mong for the day :grump:
Maybe wait for Gareth to reappear then, he may well know the answer.
It says (transcribed into Roman from Cyrillic as my computer has decided it doesn't like me typing in Cyrillic)
Lenin zhil, Lenin zhiv, Lenin budyet zhit'.
Which means: Lenin lived, Lenin lives, Lenin will live.
The bit underneath is too small for me to read but probably doesn't matter.
[I speak Russian in case you were wondering so yes, I do know what it means
How is that in any way offensive? It's like saying 'Elvis lived, Elvis lives, Elvis will live'. It's not advocating any racial hatred (as Kill All The Jews obviously would - incidentally, Lenin was, amongst other things, part Jewish himself). It's not defamatory, sexist, racist, libellous or anything else against the rules of TheSite or indeed the law. If you don't like Russia/Lenin/Communism then that's fine but accept that I personally do have an interest of said things and I'm of the opinion that my avatar is completely harmless. In fact you are the first person to ever comment remotely negatively about it.
No.
I stayed in the Kings X Travellodge for two night, prebooked, £26 a night.
We had sockets in our room....
The bedrooms are the mankiest I've ever seen.:yuck:
No offence ,I will answer on PM. This thread in not the right place.
For the meet dates the Sat night is £70 and the sun night is £26 pre-booked. The earlier you do it and depending on their sales promotions you can get a cheap deal. If I stay after the meet I'm staying at the 'lodge. I not staying on my brothers floor (Like my mother wants me too)
