My stay at Clink 78 was rather bad, in fact I can't remember any other stay that was that bad:/ The area was fine and the hostel building quite nice but the hostel being huge didn't help I guess. Very small 6 person female dorm with hardly any space for the luggage, hardly any separation between the bunkbeds - they... More

The hostel is located in a good place with good access to public transportations. The main problem is the staff totally unfriendly and unpatient. The price is good and the room acceptably clean even if really small. More

I had an overnight stay in a 4 bed room with ensuite. The room was clean, the bed clean, the unknown room-mates never seen, just heard when they returned from their night revelries and showed respect for the Sleeping Unknown Person. Clean bathroom. Warm room, slight road traffic noise. Breakfast in the basement adequate and copious. Efficient, professional staff. Will... More

Not the best, but ok for london. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Hot stuffy rooms, lockers are tiny and no room whatsoever for luggage. One or two nights is enough. More

Unfortunately we DID NOT STAY by Clink78 because we were looking for a double bed room and they could offer us only bunk beds. Anyway I would like to say that the staff is really kind in giving you information via e-mail. They always reply prompltly and if you have any problem / question they are happy to answer. More

Stayed in a 4bed dorm. It was tiny, hot and stuffy with only a very small locker that was too small to even fit the average handbag. The room was in the basement and people staying in surrounding rooms continued partying in the corridor outside the room all through the night. Shower rooms were like saunas, and had nowhere to...

The write up says "10 minutes from King's Cross Station", which is well and fine, but the route is not as straightforward. There are a few turns that you have to make in order to reach it. And if you carried on straight along the road, you could end up at the River Thames, staring at the London Eye ...... More

If you're stranded in London and need a bed, this is the place. The staff is multilingual, to the point and they will play by the rules. You get a clean bed, an amazing breakfast and a shower for the advertised price. They have internet machines and WiFi for a fee, plus a variety of other services including a bar,... More

I stayed at The Clink before a Topdeck trip. I had never been to London before, and found the hostel a bit hard to find, and ended up at the wrong Clink, but they were very kind and gave me some directions. The location is on a busy street in Kings Cross, which is a daunting place for a solo... More
