This hostel is located within a 5-10 minute walk to Kings Cross Station, so all of London is at your fingertips. We even walked to the Soho area of London one day, which was a bit of a walk, but still comfortable. It is a cool concept to stay in a renovated courthouse and we enjoyed having a sink in our room in addition to the public restrooms and showers.

Fl, United States of America

Nice breakfast with reasonable price. The toilet and the bathroom is clean. The Clash Bar downstair is really nice. Just can't tell how much I love the bar.

Shek, Hong Kong

Clink78 is in a great location and is a great place to meet other like-minded travellers! I was travelling solo and I did not feel alone the entire time. The free walking tour that leaves from the hostel is a must do. The Clash bar is also a really great spot for cheap drinks after exploring the city all day. I happened to be travelling when some attacks were taking place in the London area and Clink78 felt like a safe place to meet at and check-in with family and friends.

Hannah, Canada

Everything was in easy reach in the hostel including IT Suite TV room Cash Machine Vending Machines and Hot drinks machines the reception was open 24 hours and the bar was open till 2a.m and the drinks were very generous in price and measures. If the music in the Clash bar wasnt to your taste-too loud etc there was always somewhere to sit and chill and chat away from it-either in another section of the bar or elsewhere in the hostel. This was m fourth visit in 4 years and for VFM and service you cant beat Clink!

- • Single Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉I stayed in 6 bed mixed dorm for a weekend. It was stifling in the room, no ventilation, so you can imagine the smelI. From my bed was no access to the socket, so every morning I had to spend 1 hour sitting in the common areas and waiting till my phone is charged. You cannot control the temperature of the water. I had to wash just tips of my hair, since the water was too hot.
눇Hostel location is good. The bus stop just near the entrance, which is a very convinient way to get to Tate Modern. Staff is helpful and friendly.

눉So where to start, me and my two other frends booked a 4 bed room, everything until we saw the room was really good but the room is so small, the beds are noise, just a small window and no fans or AC (=no air inside so to hot hot hot). Personally I didn't like the showers, just really hot water and with the hot rooms you can immagine..
눇Grate location, really close to a bit everithing even to King's Cross station where you arrive easely from the airport!

“Tiny, but Enjoyable”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Our private room was TINY - every other room we stayed in seemed huge compared to the "jail cell." We also purchased the breakfast at check-in since we were told there were eggs, sausage, and bacon and the selection was actually much more limited than that (toast, cereal, etc.).
눇This hostel is located within a 5-10 minute walk to Kings Cross Station, so all of London is at your fingertips. We even walked to the Soho area of London one day, which was a bit of a walk, but still comfortable. It is a cool concept to stay in a renovated courthouse and we enjoyed having a sink in our room in addition to the public restrooms and showers.

눉We had a private room with ensuite for 2 people and it was TINY! We are two small girls and we were squished! Plus, the "ensuite" was more like a wet room which you could barely turn around in. Disappointing for the price.
눇The staff were really friendly and accommodating. The hotel was in a fairly good location.

눉I usually stay at the YHA and love it there. In this occasion it was fully booked so I tried it here. The guests here are very young and was awaken many times from them shouting and laughing in the night and in the morning, they are very inconsiderate. Showers are far away and there is no plugs near the beds. The staff can be helpful at times but they definitely lack customer service experience. Never again.
눇The price, but I would prefer to spend a bit more and stay in the nice YHA. Not for over 30s.
