Good facility with excellent location. Bunker beds had individual charging ports & reading lamps, which was quite impressive. Rooms can get cluttered with so many people staying with luggage and stuff. Though each bed comes with a locker in the room, which was great too. The best parts were the kitchen downstairs which was clean and fully furnished with free coffee. And the small front hall ideal for chatting and drinks.
United Arab EmiratesLocation, WiFi, value for money and good place to stay
United Arab EmiratesGreat location, close to King Cross Station. Nice staff.
TaiwanVery close to King’s Cross St Pancras. Variety of the food for the breakfast. The show and the bathroom were clean.
FranceGood sized kitchen with good range and prep space. Large lockers you can use your own lock on. Power and lights to each bed. Short walk to Kings Cross/St. Pancras
United States of AmericaThe location is fantastic. It's barely a 5-minute walk to Kings Cross/St Pancras. Price is great. You get to spend most of your money on entertainment instead of a room. Staff are wonderful. I left my phone on a coach and the front desk, Dimitri I believe, allowed me to make a call to help collect it. They are all friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We booked a tour at the front desk and made it to the location without a problem. The vast majority of your fellow travelers are friendly. You also get access to the Clink78 basement bar a few minutes away. The Clink261 basement has a TV with DVD player and nice couches/chairs to relax on. It also has plenty of outlets for charging devices. Also, the beds had an electrical outlet at the head part, two USB slots, and a light. The showers have actual temperature controls instead of dodgy ones at other hostels that come out too hot/cold or the temperature surges uncomfortably between the two extremes.
United States of AmericaNice pancakes machine! Lots of food in the breakfast!
GuatemalaThe distance to King's Cross/St. Pancreas is very short, so the accessibility is great.
GermanyClean bathrooms and comfortable, excellent customer service, great and happy staff 24/7, they helped me in every minute of my journey
Costa RicaThe bathrooms are clean, the kitchen is good. The rooms and beds are good.

Clink261 is a compact hostel in the heart of King's Cross. As a former Student Union, the hostel has a really friendly vibe and is a great place to come back to after a day of city exploration. The lounge area, with its comfortable sofas, is the perfect place to kick back and relax with other travellers. The well-equipped self-catering kitchen has everything you need to cook up a budget friendly dinner (open for guest use after 12.30pm) and reception staff will be happy to help you discover cool things to do around the city. You can also get discounts on tours and tickets to London's best attractions. ClashBAR, at our nearby hostel Clink78, is also open to Clink261 guests. It's a real social hub and a great place to grab a drink, listen to live music or dance the night away to one of our resident DJs.
