Spent 6 nights over Christmas at the Generator Madrid. Great place and fantastic location, would highly recommend if looking for accommodation in Madrid. Travelling with my daughter, so we had a twin private room and ensuite. Everything was just as described. We ate in the dining area a couple of times, very convenient and prices were very good. Had their breakfast once, wasnā€™t for us, pretty basic but probably expected. There are plenty of options near by, plus a supermarket pretty much across the road. We also used the washing machine and dryers as we were travelling for 6 weeks. Very handy and well priced.

Nice, clean accommodations. Appreciated the bathroom setup with sink, toilet, and shower in separate spaces in our private room for 4. A little surprised by lack of towels and soap--i feel this could be included without the extra charge. Other than that very good stay.
