I really liked this hostel. The wi-fi worked, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the place was clean and well run. The hostel is a former Victorian courthouse, and the rooms are done up in a cheeky, understated prison motif. I liked the giant oak-panelled courtroom converted into a TV room. Free breakfast. Good proximity to King's Cross Station.... More

I stayed here on Saturday, as a last minute trip to London. The hostel is really easy to find from London King's Cross Station, and walking alone at 10 o'clock at night I got there in about 6 mins (haha) Upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly woman, who told me I'd booked my room for the wrong night,...

We were leading a school group of 8 boys and girls.Location 5 minutes from the train from Scotland. Hostel is so interesting for pupils as an old court house, rooms basic , beds squeezed in but we only slept there after long days out in London. Pupils really liked the buzz of many nationalities, the breakfast room (included) and the... More

Its a lovely building and the common room, tv room, bar and computer room - set in a old court house is lovely. Breakfast simple but plenty of it -toast, nuttella, jams. two types of cereal, tea, coffee, water, two types of fruit juice. Showers were clean and the laundry room, mobile phone chargers and lots of locker spaces were... More

My husband and I spent 7 nights at Clink78 when we first moved to London. We booked in last minute as there was nowhere else in London available. It is everything you want and also expect in a hostel. Big TV area and big seperate computer room, big kitchen/cooking space and a bar with cheap drinks. It was also one... More

I'll admit I'm not a fan of hostels, prefering peace, calm and privacy to fun and excitiment while I'm abroad. However, Clink was the best of both worlds, offering a fun bar and pool competitions, as well as strict rules and comfortable private rooms. The showers were clean and the water power strong, the roms small but well appointed and... More

We went on a trip here and it was a nice building the social room was really spacious, the rooms were roasting though and felt really claustrophobic, the rooms were tiny and we re really hard to move in, the security tried to accuse us of stuff we didn't and were being really horrible to us, we made a complaint...

This hostel is what a good hostel should be. Clean, close to attractions and with friendly staff. It also has its own bar, internet room, shop, etc. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends. Only negative is that rooms need little bit more space...

Clink78 is a fantastic hostel, close to Kings Cross/ St Pancras Stations and only a few stops on the underground from London's main attractions. The staff are amazing. Breakfast is good and topped up regularly so your never left waiting for something. The Clashbar downstairs has such a good vibe and fantastic bartenders. I would suggest if you want a... More
