Going in the summer definitely helps. I had the exact opposite experience LOL My dorm at the YHA Central was extremely warm, so no one wore more than underwear. Only one dude slept in shorts (an Indian guy). There were two Canadians also in the dorm and while we were talking about how unbearably hot the dorm was, one admitted he slept naked (though he pointed to a pair of boxers so I guess naked for him = boxers lol) and the other one mentioned he removed his shorts in the middle of the night to sleep in undies. A German guy who I made friends with clearly slept naked one of the nights (I was able to see part of his bare butt in the morning).Finally got to test the YHA Central in London.. well.. the plus: yes, knowing that the dorm is only male is a nice plus. However, since there's only 8 beds in the room and the bathrooms are single units, you are limited to which ever guys share your room. So if you get unlucky, that's it.. no other options. Whereas in Generator you get the whole basement basically in the bathrooms as options.. And I got a feeling that the YHA was a bit more non-European and perhaps a bit older than Generator.. so less eye candy and more people who sleep fully clothed (I've noticed this particularly with chinese, but also Indians and other southeast asians in other hostels..
So while it's nice to have only men in the room, I might still personally prefer Generator out of these two.. I'll give this one another go closer to the summer, maybe I get better luck with my roommates then (now I had one japanese, slept fully clothed. Two older Indians, who also wore clothes the whole time.. my friend and one guy, who could've been good, but he was not in the room when we checked in.. he was already asleep by the time we got back from our drinks.. and he was gone by the time I woke up in the morning).
At the Generator I only had women in my dorm. Also disappointed with the showers - didn’t see much more nudity than in any gym I’ve been before. The majority of the guys would never get fully naked before closing the stalls or curtains… the crowd was way younger so that may explain why. Also as I mentioned before, I’m not that much into the shower cruising thing. But again, that was my experience. It’s all a matter of luck if you’re getting chill roommates or a bunch of shy ones wearing PJs.
