It was close to king’s cross. The staff were really friendly as well. The toilet and showers were pretty clean.

Amelia, United Kingdom

It is close to Kings cross station, good WiFi, comfortable bed, friendly staffs and free luggage room.

Ronie, United Arab Emirates

The location is great, I’ve been there twice and it’s perfect for a short stay.

Teresa, United States of America

Best hostel in that area compared to the others in the same price segment.

Mario, Gibraltar

Place is great value. It was regularly cleaned, and the fact you can store your luggage for free is REALLY a plus. Make sure to have a small padlock though. If you're travelling on a budget, take the 4£ breakfast offer. London is quite an expensive city and you won't find anything anywhere near this price elsewhere.

Aldo, Ireland

I really liked the welcoming and the place location. All the building is clean and that's important

Christoloco, France

I paid a bit extra for an 8bed dormitory with the idea to share the bathroom with less people. However, it's nowhere mentioned that you atually have to share the bathroom with 2 whole floors, that is for rooms on the third floor. A pity I had to find this out only once I got there. Everything else was ok, staff was friendly, breakfast was ok for the price you pay.

An Inside Look at Clink261 Hostel

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.

There are so many time restrictions. its perfectly uncomfortable. Not flexible. In midnight we can’t use kitchen, only hot water we can’t get. When a huge man is sleeping, the bed was so noisey.
The price(18£ per night), and location, has kitchen.

There was no light switch to turn the light on in the room, so once the sun went down it was completely dark. This was incredibly frustrating because I had to use my phone flashlight to find anything. The bathrooms were small. There were no outlets near the sinks. It was nearly impossible to do makeup or anything after dark because there was no light in the rooms and no counter space in the bathroom. Rooms were also small for the number of people staying there. People were leaving their suitcases and other things all over the room which was annoying.
The location was great, only a 5 minute walk from King's Cross, which connected to multiple underground lines. It was easy to get around. It was pretty clean considering how many people were staying there. The outlets by the beds had USB plugs, which was convenient if you didn't want to buy an adapter.
