rsobers

I've been researching hostels in London and I narrowed it down to the Generator and the Piccadilly Hotel. I was leaning toward Piccadilly because of it's location and the fact that there isn't a bar inside the hostel (so it won't be noisy if I don't feel like partying) but they organize trips to local pubs.

However, I just found that I can book a 4 bed dorm room at Generator through studios92.com for 11.10 pounds per night, which is 1 pound cheaper than a 10 bed room at Piccadilly. So I'm thinking about booking all 4 nights at the Generator to lock in this rate.

I'm a little hesitant though because I've read a lot of bad reviews about the Generator. I don't mind being in a party hostel, but I'd like to be able to sleep comfortably at 1-2am and not have to worry about random people coming in and puking on the floor (some of the stories I've heard on bugeurope and other review sites).

Does anyone here have 1st hand experience?

Thanks.
