Our take

Generator London is the budget option I would suggest near St Pancras when price matters more than calm. The colourful interiors, dorms and private rooms, and the bar and cafe give it a social feel, and the British Library is a short walk away. A 7.4 score from nearly 6,000 reviews is honest for a hostel of this size: book a private room if you want sleep before an early train.

  • Take advantage of the on-site bar and cafe for easy meals and socialising.
  • Consider a private room if you prefer more personal space while still enjoying the hotel's atmosphere.
  • Walk to The British Library, it's just a short stroll away for a dose of culture.

Why we love it

  • Stylish and colourful interiors
  • On-site bar and restaurant
  • Social and friendly atmosphere
  • Close to The British Library
Why guests love it

Generator London is a colourful, social hostel with dorms and private rooms, a short walk from the British Library and the St Pancras and King's Cross stations. There is a bar, a cafe and a restaurant on site, and private rooms make it workable for a family on a tight budget. Expect a lively, young crowd in the evening. Rated 7.4 from almost 6,000 reviews, I would book a private room here for a cheap night near the Eurostar.
