The Generator -- London
I have heard a lot of great things about the generator hostel in London that it is the place to go if you're a partier and want to have a good time, but is it safe for a single girl?

I was there as a single female and had a blast.... and you don't have to be a huge partier, but if you want to its always an option
We always have debates over this hostel but I give it two thumbs up!

I am really torn on it also Carolyn. If you want cheap beer and a party environment it is absolutely for you. On the other hand, it can get out of hand with people vomiting, police coming to physically remove people etc. (Not sure if my experience was typical or not...)
I feel really bad for anyone with a flat that opens to the courtyard of the Generator :P
