ClashBAR, located in the basement, boasts DJ nights, live music, a pool table and table football, giving guests the opportunity to meet fellow travellers.
Reception is open 24 hours a day and guests can access the building and their room using a personal key card. Staff are multi-lingual and knowledgeable about hostel happenings and city hot-spots.
Clink78 Hostel has shared and female-only dormitory-style accommodation and private rooms. Both shared and en-suite bathrooms are available. All bunk beds have individual reading lights and small lockers for valuables. Towels are included in private rooms and available to others for a small fee.
