Clink78 Hostel, London

Location was good - walkable or bussable from Kings Cross. Room had large lockers and space to open suitcases. There was an outlet and light in each bunk, which was great. Room was a bit noisy at night as the windows needed to be open because there was no a/c. Bathrooms were quite nice, but there were no outlets for hair devices. Great value for our money, and would recommend to anyone looking for a cheap and clean place to stay.

Couple of things I did not like was the rooms were very small. I stayed in a 8 bed mix dorm. The other thing was the lack of ventelation in the room which was making the room smelly.

This place is well located, big. clean, but it does have a racial profiling issue.You must beware of your belongings as the hostel, in my opinion, isn't safe. It is my understanding, giving the interactions I had with the Hostel personnel that they could not care less for your damaged personal belongings. As a result, I would not recommend this Hostel and this decision if final.

Good location and nice communal facilities

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities are extremely clean and very well maintained. The bar downstairs is a fun atmosphere, and the kitchen area is large and accommodating. My only real criticism is that the bed was uncomfortably hard, and future travelers should bring an extra pillow as the provided pillow is also very thin. All told, I’d gladly rebook!

Some staff were quite rude. I was trying to have a private phone call where I wouldn’t disturb anyone and would not be disturbed and was told the only place I could use the phone was in the noisy communal area. Not allowed to sit on the stairs quietly where nobody was around. Also staff coming Into the room frequently and very loud with no consideration to guests sleeping or trying to sleep

we stayed at clink hostel over the 2020 new year period. We stayed in one of the cell rooms which we thought would be a cool experience as they are real converted hail cells. The lack of cleanliness however put a massive dampener on our stay. The room floor was dirty and the communal showers were ok but the real problem is that we left with bed bug bites. There were no cups by the coffee machine, no water in the vending machines. The check in service we received was brilliant, but other than that, it’s a horrible hostel that needs to be thoroughly cleaned. I will not stay there again.

great location and great value. it was a little noisy but then it is a hostel. I had a private room and it was great for the money.

OK

I absolutely loved my one night stay at Clink78. The friendly warm vibe among staff and guests has really stayed with me, and made me smile from the moment I walked in. I was invited to a party there, which I had to decline, but was also able to quietly get on with my work on my laptop in a nice, quiet atmosphere. The security was excellent (with large lockers for my large rucksack!) and great showers. It really exceeded my expectations at a rock bottom price. The only quibble I can come up with is that the USB charger over my bunk didn't work (but the 3-pin plug one did, so that was fine).
